Our Story
When Josie and Antonio Navarra opened Ciao Italia in 1991, they brought their Southern Italian family recipes and a simple philosophy: make great food from scratch, treat guests like family, and never take shortcuts.
More than 35 years later, we are still here — locally owned, scratch-made, and proudly independent. No chains. No shortcuts. Just real Italian food on International Drive.

It is 2 minutes down Westwood Blvd from Homewood Suites by Hilton Orlando Theme Parks, family-owned since 1991, and everything on the menu is made from scratch. Pasta, seafood, veal, chicken — the menu covers every craving. The Italian wine list and beer selection are curated specifically for the food. Kids eat for $13 with gelato. Walk-ins welcome. Free parking. No pretension, no dress code, no attitude. Just good Italian food from a real family.
The menu at Ciao Italia has something for everyone at the table. Start with Bruschetta, Burrata, or the Antipasto Italiano. Pasta ranges from classic Spaghetti con Polpette to Pappardelle al Cinghiale with wild boar ragu. Seafood includes Linguine alle Vongole, Shrimp Scampi, and Risotto alla Pescatora. The Chicken Parmigiana and Pollo al Marsala are crowd favorites. And the lamb chops are for when you want something special. All of it, made from scratch. All of it, 2 minutes down Westwood Blvd from your hotel. 6149 Westwood Blvd. (407) 354-0770.
