When the Navarra family opened Ciao Italia on International Drive in 1991, Orlando looked nothing like it does today. But the mission was simple: serve real Italian food, made from scratch, every single night.
35 years later, that mission hasn't changed. The pasta is still handmade. The sauces still simmer for hours. Over 4,000 guests have left reviews. Zagat rated, highly awarded, and the same family still greeting you at the door.
This is not a chain. This is the real thing.

Convention dinners and resort restaurants serve their function, but they rarely create memorable meals. Ciao Italia does. The Risotto alla Pescatora with clams, mussels, shrimp, and calamari. The Agnello — Australian lamb chops with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The Tortellini with braised beef and truffle cream sauce. These are dishes that guests remember and come back for.
For groups, Ciao Italia offers a private dining room seating up to 60 guests and a full venue buyout for up to 110. Group dining packages at $60, $70, or $80 per person with custom private event menus. Perfect for convention dinners, awards banquets, or team celebrations.
