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
You are in Orlando for a convention at the OCCC, staying at the Rosen Centre Hotel Orlando. The hotel has a restaurant. International Drive has chains. But what you really want is a dining experience — a place where someone actually cares about the food, the wine, and whether you have a good time.
When you walk into Ciao Italia, someone from the Navarra family greets you. Not a hostess reading from a script — a family member who has been doing this for 35 years. They seat you, they check on your table, they recommend the dish they would eat themselves. That is what dining means here.
Zagat-rated Italian. Handmade pastas, fresh seafood, veal, lamb, and classic preparations.
Handmade pasta • Fresh seafood • Prime cuts • Every plate tells a story
