Family Style Dinner Near Dr. Phillips Orlando
The family-style option that Restaurant Row doesn’t have. Three shared Italian menus from $50/person. Minimum 10 guests.
What Restaurant Row Doesn’t Have
Dr. Phillips and Restaurant Row have dozens of places to eat. But try to find one that serves family-style Italian for a group of 20, 40, or 80 — where every course arrives in generous platters to the center of the table, and your entire group shares everything together. It doesn’t exist on Sand Lake Road. It exists five minutes away, at Ciao Italia.
We’re on International Drive and Westwood Blvd — a short drive from the Dr. Phillips dining corridor. Family-owned since 1991, with 4,000+ reviews and three set menus built specifically for group dining. No individual orders. No waiting for 30 plates. Everyone eats together, the Italian way.
Three Menus. One Table.
Every course served family-style in generous platters. Pick your tier.

The Family-Style Option That Sand Lake Doesn’t Have
Restaurant Row is great for a dinner for two. But when your group hits 20, 40, or 80 people, you need a restaurant built for shared dining. Ciao Italia has been doing this since 1991 — three set menus, every course in platters, private room available.
Five minutes from Dr. Phillips. Free parking. No dress code. Just real Italian food, shared the way it was meant to be.
