Common Questions

Frequently Asked

What time can a post-convention party start at Ciao Italia?

Most post-convention parties start between 7 and 8 PM after the show floor closes. Our regular hours are 5-10 PM, and we can accommodate later start times by arrangement.

Is Ciao Italia close enough to walk from the convention center?

Ciao Italia is about 1 mile from the OCCC, which is a 5-minute drive. Most convention groups use ride-share, hotel shuttles, or charter buses.

Can we have music or a DJ at a post-convention party?

Yes. With a full restaurant buyout you can bring a DJ, live musician, or set up a playlist through our speaker system.

Do you serve cocktails or mixed drinks at post-convention parties?

Ciao Italia serves wine and beer only - no cocktails or mixed drinks. Our bar package ($28/pp) includes a sommelier-selected red and white wine plus imported and domestic beers.

Can the party spill into a casual mingling format rather than seated dinner?

Absolutely. With a full buyout you control the layout. We can set up cocktail-height tables, a buffet station for grazing, and leave open floor space for mingling.

How quickly can you confirm availability for a post-convention party?

Contact us at (407) 354-0770 or submit an inquiry online. We typically respond within 24 hours. During peak convention season, we recommend booking 4-6 weeks out. A $500 deposit locks in your date.
