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.
Handmade pasta • Fresh seafood • Prime cuts • Every plate from scratch

Hollywood Studios is an adrenaline park. You survived Tower of Terror, flew the Millennium Falcon, rode Slinky Dog Dash, and maybe screamed through Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. The food inside the park was designed to keep you moving: Woody's Lunch Box, Docking Bay 7, Backlot Express. Functional fuel, not dinner.
When the Fantasmic water show ends and the park starts clearing out, you have a choice. Fight for a table at one of the Boardwalk restaurants, eat at your hotel's food court, or drive 20 minutes to a family-owned Italian restaurant where the pasta is handmade and the veal is prepared the way it has been since 1991. Ciao Italia is waiting.
Ciao Italia looks elegant — arched columns, Italian pottery, wine racks. But there's no dress code. Shorts and flip-flops are welcome. Kids are welcome.
$13 kids menu with gelato included. Highchairs available. Walk-ins welcome every night from 5 to 10 PM. Free parking lot right in front.
