The Italian-Themed Resort Deserves Real Italian Food

Hilton Grand Vacations Club at Tuscany Village is designed to evoke the warmth and beauty of the Italian countryside. The Tuscan architecture, the terracotta tones, the Mediterranean landscaping. It is a lovely setting. But when it comes time for dinner, the theme ends at the property line. The on-site options are limited, and the nearby chains are not Italian in any meaningful way.

Ciao Italia Ristorante completes the experience. You are already surrounded by Italian aesthetics at Tuscany Village. Now, minutes away, you can sit down to authentic Italian food made by a family that has been doing this for over 35 years. The Navarra family opened Ciao Italia in 1991, and every pasta, sauce, and dish is made from scratch using recipes rooted in Italian culinary tradition.

From Tuscan Vibes to Authentic Italian Flavors

There is a difference between Italian-themed and authentically Italian. Tuscany Village captures the look and feel. Ciao Italia captures the taste. The handmade linguine with clams tastes like something served in a trattoria on the Amalfi Coast. The risotto alla pescatora is built slowly, grain by grain, the way it has been done in Italian kitchens for centuries. The veal piccata is finished with fresh lemon and capers in a way that only comes from decades of practice.

This is what your resort was trying to evoke. Ciao Italia delivers the real version. And it is five minutes away.

The warm atmosphere and kids menu (just $13 with gelato for children 10 and under) make it equally welcoming for families who want something special.

The wine list is built to complement Italian food. Reds from Tuscany and Piedmont. Whites from the Veneto and Sicily. Everything curated by a family that knows Italian wine the way they know Italian cooking. It is a thoughtful, personal touch that elevates the entire evening.
