What a Zagat Rating Means

Zagat rated and family-owned since 1991. Authentic Italian near SeaWorld Orlando

The Food Behind the Rating

Recognized by Zagat for food, service, and ambiance. Family-owned on Westwood Boulevard since 1991.

Service and Atmosphere

A Zagat rating is not given by a single critic. It is based on surveys of real diners who rate a restaurant on food, decor, service, and cost. When a restaurant earns a strong Zagat rating, it means that a significant number of people who have actually eaten there agree that the experience is worth recommending. Ciao Italia Ristorante has earned that recognition.

Visit Orlando's Zagat Rated Italian Restaurant

In a city like Orlando, where there are thousands of restaurants competing for attention, a Zagat rated Italian restaurant stands out. It means the food is consistently good, the service is reliably attentive, and the overall experience lives up to expectations. Ciao Italia has been delivering on all three since 1991.

What Guests Say

Zagat ratings are built on the dining experience, and at Ciao Italia, that starts with food made from scratch using family recipes from southern Italy. The pasta is handmade. The sauces are prepared fresh daily. The Risotto alla Pescatora features fresh seafood in a light broth. The Pappardelle with Wild Boar is slow-cooked until the flavors are deep and layered. The tiramisu is made in-house every day.

Taste Why We Are Zagat Rated

These are not dishes assembled from pre-made components. Every plate that leaves the kitchen reflects a commitment to quality that has not changed in over 35 years. That consistency is what earns ratings and keeps guests coming back.

A great meal needs more than great food. It needs service that makes you feel welcome without being overbearing, and an atmosphere that matches the occasion. Ciao Italia's dining room is warm and intimate, with soft lighting and well-spaced tables. The staff treats every guest like they belong, whether it is a first visit or a fifteenth.

“One of the finest Italian restaurants in Orlando. Absolutely worth the visit.”

“Handmade pasta that you can taste the difference. Zagat rated and deserving.”

That combination of food, service, and atmosphere is exactly what Zagat evaluates, and it is exactly what Ciao Italia has spent more than three decades perfecting.
