The Navarra Family

Authentic Italian in Orlando Since 1991

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.

You Just Survived Disney. You Deserve Real Food.

Your feet hurt. You have been walking since 8 AM. You ate a pretzel at 11 and a $16 burger at 3. The fireworks are done, the park is closing, and the only thing between you and your hotel is the question of what to eat. The answer is not another Disney restaurant with a 45-minute wait and food that peaked at room temperature.

Ciao Italia Ristorante is 20-25 minutes from any Disney park, open until 10 PM every night. The Navarra family has been serving handmade Italian pasta here since 1991. The drive down I-4 is the decompression you need, and the dinner waiting for you is the reward you earned after surviving a full Disney day.
