Yes, We Are Open Right Now

If it is between 5 PM and 10 PM and you are in Orlando, Ciao Italia is open. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. We do not take days off. We do not close early on slow nights. We do not shut down for random reasons. The Navarra family has been keeping these doors open since 1991 because they believe dinner should always be available.

You do not need a reservation to walk in, though we recommend one if it is a Friday or Saturday night. Just show up, grab a seat, and order some of the best handmade Italian food in Orlando. Over 4,000 people have reviewed us and the reason is consistent: the food is real, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the restaurant is always open when you need it.

No Reservations Required, But We Recommend Them

Here is the deal. Walk-ins are always welcome at Ciao Italia. If you are hungry and you are nearby, just come in. On weeknights, you can usually get seated right away. On weekends, especially during tourist season, it can get busy. That is when a quick phone call to (407) 354-0770 saves you from waiting.

But even without a reservation, we will take care of you. The Navarra family does not turn people away. They figure it out. That is what family restaurants do. And while you wait, you can look forward to handmade pasta, fresh seafood, and a kids menu that is $13 with gelato. Not a bad deal for a restaurant that is open right now.
