Order by 11 AM, Ready by 5

Plans changed. The caterer fell through. You just found out 30 people are coming tonight. Whatever the reason, Ciao Italia has you covered. Place your order by 11 AM and your scratch-made Italian party trays will be ready for pickup by 5 PM the same day. No advance notice needed. No deposit required for tray orders.

This is real Italian food made from scratch in our kitchen on International Drive — not frozen trays pulled from a warehouse. Lasagna layered that morning. Chicken parm breaded and baked fresh. Penne alla vodka simmered with San Marzano tomatoes. Same recipes the Navarra family has served since 1991, just packed in trays instead of plated at a table.

How It Works

Three Steps to Last-Minute Food

Step one: browse our online catering menu or call (407) 354-0770 before 11 AM. Step two: choose your trays — half trays feed 8–10, full trays feed 16–20. Step three: pick up between 2 and 5 PM at 6149 Westwood Blvd on International Drive. That is it. No paperwork, no contracts, no event planner needed.

The $300 minimum applies to all orders. For a last-minute party of 20, three full trays gets you there. Most customers call between 9 and 10 AM for same-day orders, so the earlier you call the better. If you miss the 11 AM cutoff, your order will be ready the next day for pickup during the same 2–5 PM window.
