The Engagement Party You Actually Want
You said yes. Now both families want to celebrate, friends are asking when the party is, and you need a place that feels right without spending months planning it. Ciao Italia Ristorante has been hosting engagement parties in Orlando since 1991, and we know exactly how to make the evening feel special without making it feel like a production.
Our private dining area gives you your own space for toasts, mingling, and all the excitement that comes with sharing the news over a real Italian dinner. No generic event rooms. No hotel conference space energy. Just warm lighting, exceptional food, and the kind of atmosphere where both families feel at home the moment they walk in.
Private Dining Built for Celebrations
The private dining area at Ciao Italia seats up to 60 guests in a space that is separated from the main dining room. This means you get the intimacy of a private event with the energy of a real restaurant. Your guests can mingle, toast, and enjoy the evening without competing with other diners for attention.
For larger engagement parties, we offer full restaurant buyout for up to 110 guests. This gives you the entire restaurant for the evening, which is ideal for couples who want to bring together large groups from both sides. For smaller gatherings of 15 or 20, we can reserve a dedicated section that feels private and intentional.
Custom Menus and Wine Packages
Italian food is made for celebrating. Start with shared antipasti like bruschetta and burrata, move into handmade pastas and entrees that people will remember, and finish with tiramisu or gelato. Our events team works with you to build a menu that fits your group, your budget, and any dietary needs. Wine and beer packages are available to keep the evening flowing without worrying about individual tabs.
