Authentic Italian in Orlando Since 1991

When the Navarra family opened Ciao Italia on International Drive in 1991, Orlando looked nothing like it does today. But the mission was simple: serve real Italian food, made from scratch, every single night.

35 years later, that mission hasn't changed. The pasta is still handmade. The sauces still simmer for hours. Over 4,000 guests have left reviews. Zagat rated, highly awarded, and the same family still greeting you at the door.

This is not a chain. This is the real thing.

Why Ciao Italia Over the Chains

The restaurants near Marriott Cypress Harbour are the same chains you have at home — Olive Garden, Applebee's, TGI Friday's. If you wanted chain Italian, you could have stayed home and saved the airfare.

Ciao Italia Ristorante is 10 minutes from Cypress Harbour at 6149 Westwood Blvd. The Navarra family makes everything from scratch — real pasta, real sauces, real Italian cooking. Not the frozen-and-reheated version you get at the chains. Over 4,000 reviews and 35 years of consistency prove the difference.

Skip the chains. Your vacation deserves better.
