Common Questions

Frequently Asked

Why is Ciao Italia a good choice for convention group dinners?

Ciao Italia is just 1 mile from the Orange County Convention Center on International Drive. We offer full restaurant buyouts for up to 110 guests with authentic Italian cuisine, a dedicated events team, and free parking.

Can you handle multiple convention groups in one evening?

With a full buyout, your convention group gets the entire restaurant exclusively. For smaller groups of 15-60, our semi-private dining room is available while the main restaurant serves other guests.

Do you offer transportation coordination for convention groups?

While we do not provide transportation, we are happy to coordinate with your shuttle service, charter company, or hotel concierge to arrange pick-up and drop-off. Our I-Drive location is easy to access from all major convention hotels.

What times are available for convention dinner buyouts?

Our regular hours are 5-10 PM nightly. For convention groups, we can arrange earlier start times or extended hours by special arrangement. Private luncheons are also available for daytime convention events.

Can convention attendees with dietary restrictions be accommodated?

Absolutely. Our kitchen prepares vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergen-friendly dishes. We ask that you provide dietary information in advance so our chef can prepare appropriate options for every guest in your convention group.

What deposit is required for a convention dinner buyout?

A $500 deposit secures your date. For convention season dates, we recommend booking as early as possible since prime evenings fill quickly. The deposit is applied toward your final bill.
