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.

Every dish made from scratch • No shortcuts since 1991
Rosen Centre
The restaurants nearest the Rosen Centre Hotel Orlando fall into two categories: hotel restaurants with inflated prices and chain restaurants with mediocre food. Neither is worth your money, especially when there is a family-owned Italian restaurant 5-10 minutes away that serves handmade food at honest prices.
Ciao Italia looks elegant — arched columns, Italian pottery, wine racks. But there's no dress code. Shorts and flip-flops are welcome. Kids are welcome.
Zagat-rated Italian. Handmade pastas, fresh seafood, veal, lamb, and classic preparations.
Handmade pasta • Fresh seafood • Prime cuts • Every plate tells a story
