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.

Rosen Centre
"Where should we eat tonight?" It is the most common question at the Rosen Centre Hotel Orlando during convention season. Someone asks in the lobby. Someone asks in the group text. Someone asks the front desk. The answer, from anyone who has been to Orlando more than once, is always the same: Ciao Italia.
Because the food is real. The Fettuccine Alfredo is made with cream and Parmigiano-Reggiano, not from a packet. The Calamari Saltati is sautéed in white wine lemon butter — not fried. The Tortellini Brasato e Tartufo has braised beef and truffle cream. The Risotto alla Pescatora is loaded with fresh clams, mussels, shrimp, and calamari.
Zagat-rated Italian. Handmade pastas, fresh seafood, veal, lamb, and classic preparations.
Handmade pasta • Fresh seafood • Prime cuts • Every plate tells a story
