What Makes Ciao Italia the Best Choice

Best is a big word, but 35 years and 4,000+ reviews back it up. Ciao Italia is not a chain. It is not a franchise. It is a family restaurant where the recipes came from Italy and the owner still greets you at the door. The Sacchetti di Filetto is handmade pasta purses filled with truffle cream and topped with sliced filet mignon. The Linguine alle Vongole has fresh clams in garlic and white wine. The Risotto alla Pescatora is loaded with shrimp, clams, mussels, and calamari. Pair it with something from the Italian wine list and you have a dinner that makes the whole Discovery Cove trip even better. Open nightly 5 to 10 PM. Free parking. Call (407) 354-0770.
