Common Questions

Frequently Asked

Why is Ciao Italia good for networking dinners?

Our intimate Italian atmosphere encourages conversation better than a loud bar or impersonal hotel ballroom. The semi-private room provides a dedicated space where professionals can connect meaningfully over authentic Italian food.

How many professionals can attend a networking dinner?

Our semi-private room seats 15 to 60 — ideal for focused networking. For larger industry events, a full buyout accommodates up to 110 guests. Both options include a dedicated events team.

What menu encourages networking?

Family Style ($50-$70/pp) is our top recommendation — shared platters naturally encourage conversation and interaction across the table. It creates a communal experience that breaks down professional barriers.

Can I have name tags and signage for networking?

Yes — bring your own name badges, company signage, branded table cards, and any event materials. For full buyouts, you can fully brand the space with banners and custom decor.

Is there AV for networking event speakers?

Yes — both spaces include AV setup for welcome remarks, keynote speakers, or panel introductions. Our events team coordinates technology placement to support your networking event format.

How do I book a networking dinner?

Call (407) 354-0770 or submit an inquiry online. Include your event date, professional group details, and expected attendance. We respond within 24 hours. $500 deposit reserves your date at 6149 Westwood Blvd.
