Restaurants Near Me in Orlando

You Searched "Restaurants Near Me" for a Reason

You are hungry. You are probably somewhere near International Drive, SeaWorld, or the Convention Center. And you do not want another chain restaurant where the pasta came out of a bag and the bread was reheated from frozen. We get it.

Ciao Italia Ristorante is right here. Located at 6149 Westwood Blvd, just a few minutes off I-Drive, we have been serving handmade Italian food since 1991. The Navarra family runs the kitchen, the dining room, everything. Over 4,000 reviews from people who found us the same way you did, searching for something real nearby. And they kept coming back.

Why Locals and Visitors Both End Up Here

Most "restaurants near me" results around the tourist corridor are chains. Olive Garden, Carrabba's, Bonefish Grill. They are fine if you want predictable. But if you want pasta made from scratch that morning, seafood that was fresh today, and a dining room where the owner might stop by your table to say hello, that is Ciao Italia.

We are the restaurant that locals eat at on date night and tourists stumble into on vacation and then come back to every single trip. The kids menu is $13 and includes gelato. The wine list is all Italian. Parking is free. And you do not need a reservation, though we recommend one on weekends.
