Beyond the Rosen Plaza Restaurant
Hotel restaurants exist because they are convenient, not because they are good. The food is fine. The prices are high. The experience is forgettable. Ciao Italia is 4 minutes away from Rosen Plaza Hotel Orlando — and it is the opposite of all that. A family-owned Italian restaurant where everything is made from scratch, the prices are fair, and guests come back multiple nights because the food is genuinely excellent. Pasta from $19. Chicken or veal parm under $28. A $13 kids menu that includes gelato. You will spend less than you would at the hotel restaurant and eat significantly better.

What Makes Us Different
The difference between Ciao Italia and a hotel restaurant is simple: we are a family. The same family has been running this kitchen since 1991.

Just a real Italian kitchen cooking real Italian food, 4 minutes away from your hotel. 6149 Westwood Blvd. (407) 354-0770.
