We come to Ciao Italia every time we visit Orlando. The wild boar papardelle and brasato are wonderful! Good service and easy parking.

We stopped here on a whim and were excited by the menu. We were an hour early for our reservation and they were able to accommodate us. They do only serve wine and beer. The. Specials sounded great, the seasonal salad was very good: citrus dressing, pine nuts, goat cheese and left lettuce. The antipasto was good artichoke, cheese, olives, salami, prosciutto, and mortadella. The special pasta was a grand mariner cream sauce with linguine, scallops and shrimp. The cream sauce was very watery, the linguine was under cooked, the scallops had no color (seared) and the shrimp had their tails. The chicken parm was very breast and borderline burnt. The tomato sauce was very good but the spaghetti wasn’t fully sauced. Also tried to use the restrooms and 2 of the 4 didn’t have toilet paper. Service was ok, they didn’t come back to check if we needed anything or another glass of wine.

Delicious food! The staff was on their game from the get go! Definitely on our list for the next time we visit Orlando. You can tell this restaurant is 1st or 2nd generation Italian.

The chicken parm was good as were salads especially the orange family. Vodka sauce was just fair. The veal special was good although not as described. Was supposed to be veal stuffed with mozzarella and prosciutto. Was actually a veal chop stuffed with just mozzarella in end. Dissappointed
