Dinner Near Hyatt Regency Orlando
Real food after a long convention day. 5-10 min drive. SeaWorld ticket saves 10%.
Family-Owned Italian — Since 1991 — 6149 Westwood Blvd
You Survived the Convention. Now Eat Something Real.
The convention day is over. You sat through six panels, ate a cold sandwich from a catering tray, and spent four hours standing in an exhibit hall. Now you are back at the Hyatt Regency Orlando and you need dinner — actual dinner, not a protein bar and a vending machine soda.
Ciao Italia Ristorante is a 5-10 minutes drive from the Hyatt Regency, on International Drive and Westwood Blvd. The Navarra family has been serving handmade Italian here since 1991. Over 4,000 reviews. 9 awards. Zagat rated. Everything made from scratch every day. And the best part? You can walk in wearing your convention badge, sit down in minutes, and eat food that somebody actually put their heart into.
What to Order After a Long Day
Start with the Aragosta Bisque — creamy lobster bisque that warms you up after an over-air-conditioned convention hall. Or share a Burrata with prosciutto di Parma, arugula, and sundried tomato vinaigrette.
For the main course, the Spaghetti con Polpette is comfort food at its finest — handmade meatball, meat sauce, done right. The Sacchetti di Filetto (truffle sage sacchetti with Parmigiano cream and sliced filet) is the dish that makes you forget about tomorrow's 7 AM panel. The Brasato — braised boneless short rib with red wine reduction and polenta — is what you order when you had a really long day.
Wine and beer are available to pair with dinner. No cocktails, no full bar — just an Italian wine list and beer selection that complement the food perfectly.
Bring the Team
Convention dinners work best when the whole team comes. Ciao Italia handles groups of every size. Grab a table for 4 or book the private dining room for up to 60. Need the whole restaurant? Full venue buyout fits 110 guests with group dining packages at $60, $70, or $80 per person.
This is the dinner your team actually remembers. Not the conference buffet — the one where you sat down at a real table, with real food, and talked about something other than quarterly targets for once.
