Open Tonight
Restaurants Open Near Me in Orlando
Open 7 days a week. Walk-ins welcome. Real Italian food, every single night.
Yes, We Are Open
It is one of the most frustrating things about dining out in Orlando. You find a restaurant that looks great, check the hours, and it is closed. Closed on Mondays. Closed for lunch. Closed between 2 and 5. Closed for a private event. At Ciao Italia Ristorante, we are open 7 days a week from 5 PM to 10 PM. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, every day. Holidays included. No surprise closures. No seasonal schedules. If it is dinnertime, we are open.
We have been at this location since 1991. The Navarra family opened the restaurant over 35 years ago and it has been open every night since. That kind of consistency matters when you are hungry and just need to know that the door will be unlocked and the kitchen will be running.
Walk-Ins Always Welcome
You do not need to plan ahead. You do not need to download an app, create an account, or scroll through a booking system to get a table. Walk in, sit down, and eat. That is how it works here. Of course, if you are with a larger group or coming on a busy Saturday night, calling ahead at (407) 354-0770 is a smart move. But for most nights, you can just show up.
We are at 6149 Westwood Blvd, right between International Drive and SeaWorld. Free self-parking at the restaurant. No valet fees, no garages, no walking through a parking structure in the heat. Pull up, walk in, get fed.
Open When Others Close
A lot of the independent restaurants in the Orlando area close on Mondays or Tuesdays. Some close between lunch and dinner. Some shut down early on weeknights. Ciao Italia is open every single night, and we serve until 10 PM. You can walk in at 9:30 and still sit down for a full meal. We will not rush you. We will not tell you the kitchen is closing. If we are open, we are cooking.
That matters especially if you are visiting Orlando on vacation. Your schedule revolves around theme parks, not restaurant hours. You might not be ready for dinner until 8 or 9 PM. That is perfectly fine. We are still here, still cooking, still serving handmade pasta, fresh seafood, and everything else on the menu.
What to Expect Tonight
The menu features handmade Italian from top to bottom. The Risotto Pescatore is a showstopper with shrimp, mussels, clams, and calamari. The Pollo Marsala is tender and rich. The Veal Piccata is light with lemon, capers, and white wine. If you are bringing kids, our $13 kids menu includes an entree, drink, and gelato. Real gelato.
The dining room is comfortable, the service is warm, and the prices are fair for what you get. With over 4,000 reviews and 9 awards including Zagat Rated and OpenTable Diners Choice, this is a place that has earned the right to be your go-to. Whether you are staying at a hotel on I-Drive, visiting SeaWorld, or attending a convention, Ciao Italia is open and waiting for you tonight.
