Italian Seafood Worth the Drive

If you are searching for seafood near you in Orlando, skip the chains. Ciao Italia Ristorante serves authentic Italian seafood made fresh every night. This is not Red Lobster. This is not a frozen fish shack. This is real Italian seafood — the kind you would find in a coastal Italian town.

Our risotto alla pescatora ($36) is loaded with clams, mussels, shrimp, and calamari in a rich broth over Arborio rice. The linguine alle vongole ($25) features fresh clams in a white wine garlic sauce. The cernia alla puttanesca ($43) is Gulf grouper with olives, capers, and tomato sauce.

We are a family-owned restaurant on Westwood Boulevard, on International Drive. The seafood is fresh. The pasta is homemade. The sauces are made from scratch every day. We have been doing this since 1991.

Orlando has a lot of seafood restaurants. Most of them serve the same microwaved, breaded, frozen stuff. Ciao Italia is different. Every seafood dish is made to order with fresh ingredients.

The zuppa di pesce ($20) is a starter with clams, mussels, calamari, and shrimp in cherry tomato broth. The ravioli di pesce ($27) is seafood ravioli in a light tomato cream sauce. The salmone toscano ($32) is pan-seared salmon with Tuscan herbs. And the linguine con scampi ($26) is shrimp scampi in garlic butter.

The dining room is casual and comfortable. Come as you are. Free parking in front. Open seven nights a week.
