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, 0.9 miles from the Orange County Convention Center.

Near You
Searching for restaurants near you that are open now in Orlando? The most important detail is the actual service schedule. Ciao Italia Ristorante opens for dinner every night from 5 to 10. It is not an all-day restaurant, so check your local time before heading over and plan for the next evening service if those hours have passed.
During dinner, the kitchen serves scratch-made pasta, fresh seafood and Italian entrées such as veal piccata. The Navarra family’s restaurant has operated since 1991 and welcomes guests in casual clothes. There is no dress code, and free parking makes a last-minute dinner plan easier than many visitors expect.
Ciao Italia is at 6149 Westwood Boulevard on International Drive, right across from the DoubleTree by Hilton. Walk-ins are welcome when seating is available. If you want to confirm a table rather than rely on availability at arrival, make an OpenTable reservation or call (407) 354-0770 before leaving.
