    Better Than Hotel Dining

    Hotel restaurants charge hotel prices for food that was prepped hours ago. Ciao Italia charges neighborhood prices for food that was made by hand today. The Fettuccine Alfredo, the Chicken Parmigiana, the Risotto alla Pescatora — everything is cooked to order in a kitchen that has been perfecting these recipes for more than 35 years. 6149 Westwood Blvd. (407) 354-0770.

    Dining During AAU Nationals

    AAU Nationals in Orlando means three weeks of volleyball, theme parks, and figuring out where to eat every night. The convention center food court gets old by day two. The hotel restaurant is overpriced. The chain restaurants on I-Drive have 90-minute waits.

    Ciao Italia is the local secret. Five minutes from the OCCC, free parking, walk-ins welcome. The Navarra family has been making homemade Italian food here since 1991 — pasta, bread, sauces, all from scratch. The menu works for everyone: kids get the $13 menu with gelato, teens demolish the Chicken Parmigiana, parents enjoy the wine list and lamb chops.

    Teams that book the private dining room early get the best experience — space for up to 60, group menus available. Call (407) 354-0770.
