Seafood Pasta Orlando

Homemade Seafood Pasta, Every Night

When you combine fresh seafood with homemade pasta, something special happens. That is what we do at Ciao Italia Ristorante every single night. The pasta is rolled fresh every morning. The seafood is prepared to order. The sauces are made from scratch using family recipes from Italy.

The linguine alle vongole ($25) is one of our most popular dishes — fresh clams tossed with homemade linguine in a white wine garlic sauce. The risotto alla pescatora ($36) is loaded with clams, mussels, shrimp, and calamari over creamy Arborio rice. The ravioli di pesce ($27) is stuffed seafood ravioli in a light tomato cream sauce.

If you love shrimp, the linguine con scampi ($26) is shrimp scampi in garlic butter over fresh linguine. And the penne alla vodka con salmone ($25) is penne in vodka cream sauce with fresh salmon. Every dish is made to order, every time.

Why Our Seafood Pasta Is Different

Most restaurants in Orlando buy their pasta from a box and their seafood from a freezer. We do neither. The pasta is made fresh in our kitchen every morning. The seafood arrives fresh and is never frozen.

That difference shows up on the plate. The linguine has texture and bite. The clams are tender. The sauce clings to the pasta instead of sliding off. It is the kind of seafood pasta you remember long after you go home.

Ciao Italia is a casual, family-owned Italian restaurant on Westwood Boulevard, on International Drive. We have been here since 1991. Free parking. Kids menu. Walk-ins welcome. And some of the best seafood pasta in Orlando.
