Restaurants Open Near Me in Orlando
Open 7 days a week. Walk-ins welcome. Real Italian food, every single night.
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.
