    A gem tucked in a strip mall. Servers were very friendly and attentive. This was our second visit to this restaurant and the food was delicious both times.

    Forget the chain restaurants that are prolific in the Orlando area, like Olive Garden, etc. Choose this family-owned, real Italian restaurant. Tucked away in the corner of a shopping center, I would imagine it gets mostly local diners as opposed to vacationers. Don't miss out - book this restaurant and you will not be disappointed. I have this bookmarked to be sure this New Yorker remembers to visit again when next in the Orlando area. BTW....the Fruti di Mare appetizer is outstanding.

    Food was good and priced very reasonable . Service left a little to be desired. Service was a little slow and they did not check on me while eating but it was busy and I was a solo dinner.

    I have been dining at Ciao Italia for 13+ years. It is a "destination restaurant" for every trip I make into Orlando. As I am usually there for conferences I am more than comfortable taking &/or recommending Ciao Italia to my clients and never fail to get thanks and rave reviews from them for the experience. If you are in Orlando and want a wonderful dining experience and delicious Italian food, this is a 'must'.

    The restaurant was outstanding. The food, rich in authentic flavors and beautifully presented, delighted all our senses. The staff was attentive, friendly, and ensured our experience was unforgettable. From the first appetizer to the dessert, every detail was meticulously handled. Definitely, a place to return to.

    The Burrata, Veal Scallopini and Brasato were all fantastic! The wine selection is large. Service here is always attentive and the ambience is great yet comfortable.
