Family-Owned Italian — Since 1991 — 6149 Westwood Blvd
Italian Group Dining 5 Minutes from the Convention Center
Ciao Italia Ristorante offers full Italian group dining for groups staying at the Hilton Orlando or attending events at the Orange County Convention Center. The restaurant is a 5-minute drive from both — 0.8 miles down International Drive with free parking right in front.
The private dining room seats up to 60 guests with dedicated service, custom menus, and a warm, intimate atmosphere that hotel ballrooms cannot replicate. For larger events, a full restaurant buyout accommodates up to 110 guests — the entire restaurant, kitchen, and service team are yours for the evening.
The Navarra family has been running Ciao Italia since 1991. Over 4,000 reviews. Nine culinary awards. Everything is made from scratch — the pasta, the sauces, the desserts. This is not generic hotel food. This is a real Italian kitchen cooking real Italian food for your group.
Group Dining Packages
Ciao Italia offers three group dining tiers, each built around handmade Italian food served family-style or plated — your choice.
- $60/person — Appetizer course, pasta course, entree, and dessert. The essentials, done right.
- $70/person — Everything above plus premium dishes and expanded selections.
- $80/person — The full experience. Includes Lamb Chops, Sacchetti di Filetto, and the best of the menu.
Italian wine and beer are available to pair with every course. Custom menus can be built around your group's preferences and dietary needs. Everything is cooked fresh the night of your event — nothing reheated, nothing from a warming tray.
Perfect for Convention Week
Multi-day conferences mean multiple team dinners. Monday is the welcome dinner. Wednesday is the client appreciation night. Friday is the awards celebration. Book one night or book every night — Ciao Italia can handle it.
The private dining room is 5 minutes from the Hilton Orlando, which means your group can be seated and eating within 15 minutes of leaving the convention floor. No waiting for a hotel ballroom to be set up. No competing with three other corporate groups in the same banquet space. Just your team, your menu, your evening.
Convention planners love Ciao Italia because the food is real, the service is personal, and the price is right. Three tiers starting at $60/person — significantly less than what most hotel banquet departments charge for comparable quality.

How to Get There from Hilton Orlando
Ciao Italia is a 5-minute drive from the Hilton Orlando — 0.8 miles south on International Drive. Turn onto Westwood Blvd and the restaurant is right there at 6149 Westwood Blvd. Free parking lot in front. No valet fees, no parking garage, no meters.
For convention groups, the drive from the OCCC is equally short. Your guests will spend more time choosing their pasta than getting to the restaurant.
Bring Your SeaWorld Ticket
Spent the day at SeaWorld, Aquatica, or Discovery Cove? Show your ticket at dinner and save 10% on your check. The discount applies to individual diners — a nice perk for convention attendees who squeeze in a park day before or after the conference.
