Engagement Dinner Orlando
Two families meeting for the first time deserve more than a regular dinner. Shared platters, private room, authentic Italian since 1991.
Where Two Families Become One Table
You just got engaged. The next step is the dinner where both families sit down together — maybe for the first time. That dinner matters. Family-style Italian is the perfect format because nobody is stuck staring at a plate trying to make conversation. Platters land at the center of the table, everyone reaches, everyone shares, and the ice breaks itself.
Ciao Italia has been hosting these dinners since 1991. The Navarra family understands what this moment means. The private dining room gives you space for up to 60 guests. Three menus from $50 per person. Everything made from scratch. Wine and beer to toast the moment. No dress code — come as you are.
This is not a banquet hall. This is a family restaurant on International Drive and Westwood Blvd that has been the setting for thousands of celebrations over 35 years. 4,000+ reviews. The kind of place where your engagement dinner feels personal, warm, and genuinely Italian.

35 Years of Celebrations
Two Families, One Table, Shared Platters
Family-style dining does something that individual plates cannot. When everyone is reaching for the same platter of Brasato or passing the Bruschetta, conversations happen naturally. Parents who have never met start talking. Siblings bond. The formality disappears and what is left is a real celebration.
Private dining room for up to 60. Three menus from $50 per person. The Navarra family has been setting the table for moments like this since 1991.
