Quality Italian at Honest Prices

You do not have to choose between good food and a reasonable price. Ciao Italia's catering trays start at $35 for a half tray that feeds 8–10 people. That is less than $4 per person for scratch-made Italian food from a restaurant with 4.6 stars and 4,000+ reviews. Full trays start at $65 and feed 16–20 — bringing the per-person cost even lower.

Compare that to chain catering, boxed lunches, or fast-casual options. With Ciao Italia, you get lasagna layered with fresh ricotta and mozzarella, chicken parmigiana hand-breaded in our kitchen, and penne alla vodka simmered from scratch. This is the food people remember, at prices that do not blow your budget.

Smart Planning

Stretch Your Budget Further

The key to affordable catering is choosing full trays over half trays when your guest count allows it. A full tray at $65 feeds up to 20 people, while two half trays at $35 each cover the same number for $70. For groups of 20 or more, full trays save you money and simplify your setup.

Mix your high-value favorites — lasagna and penne alla vodka are filling, affordable, and universally loved. Add a half tray of chicken parm or eggplant parm for variety. The $300 minimum is easy to reach for any group of 20 or more. Order online or call (407) 354-0770. Pickup 2–5 PM at 6149 Westwood Blvd on I-Drive.
