Family-Owned Italian — Since 1991 — 6149 Westwood Blvd
Better Italian Than the LBV Chains
Lake Buena Vista dining is dominated by chains and Disney Springs restaurants, and neither option gives you authentic Italian food at fair prices. Ciao Italia is a 15-minute drive to International Drive, and it is the kind of restaurant that makes the trip worthwhile. The Navarra family has been here since 1991, cooking everything from scratch.
The Linguine alle Vongole is made with fresh clams in white wine garlic sauce — not the canned clam version you get at chains. The Sacchetti di Filetto wraps truffle sage pasta around sliced filet in Parmigiano cream. The Aragosta Bisque is a rich, creamy lobster bisque. These are dishes that require a real kitchen and a real chef, not a corporate recipe book.
