Our Story
When Josie and Antonio Navarra opened Ciao Italia in 1991, they brought their Southern Italian family recipes and a simple philosophy: make great food from scratch, treat guests like family, and never take shortcuts.
More than 35 years later, we are still here — locally owned, scratch-made, and proudly independent. No chains. No shortcuts. Just real Italian food on International Drive.
Read Our Full Story
Every dish made from scratch • No shortcuts since 1991
The International Drive corridor is lined with chain restaurants that all serve the same reheated food at tourist prices. You can eat at any of them and forget the meal before you get back to the hotel. Or you can walk 3 minutes to Ciao Italia Ristorante and have a dinner you will actually remember.
At 6149 Westwood Blvd on International Drive, Ciao Italia has been family-owned by the Navarras since 1991. Everything is made from scratch — the pasta, the sauces, the bread, the desserts. The menu covers traditional Southern Italian from antipasti through secondi, with 13 pasta dishes, 8 main courses, and a $13 kids menu with gelato. Over 4,000 reviews and highly awarded confirm what hotel guests have known for decades: this is the best dinner near your hotel.
Handmade pasta • Fresh seafood • Prime cuts • Every plate tells a story
