This place has been here since 1991 and you can tell why. Not a tourist trap, not a chain. Real Italian food made by a family that cares. The braised short rib was fall-off-the-bone perfect.

About Ciao Italia & Magical Dining

Ciao Italia Ristorante on International Drive — Magical Dining Orlando 2026
A City of Great Restaurants

Orlando's Magical Dining Restaurant Scene

Ciao Italia Ristorante is one of those neighborhood gems. Family-owned by the Navarra family since 1991, on International Drive for over 35 years. While other restaurants come and go, Ciao Italia endures because the food and the hospitality are genuine.

The $40 three-course menu features dishes that have earned Ciao Italia over 4,000 guest reviews and a 4.6 rating.

What Sets Ciao Italia Apart

Family-Owned in a City of Chains

Most Magical Dining restaurants are hotel properties or corporate concepts. Ciao Italia is independently owned by one family. The Navarra family runs the kitchen and the dining room. That personal touch shows in every dish and every interaction.

The Magical Dining menu reflects over 35 years of Italian cooking: braised spareribs, veal piccata, sacchetti with truffle cream and filet mignon, tiramisu, limoncello cake. Nothing corporate about it.

Free self-parking. No dress code. No attitude. Just Italian food and warm hospitality.

After three days of theme park food, this was exactly what we needed. Real food, real atmosphere, and free parking right outside. The caprese was the freshest I have ever had.
