Private Events & Celebrations
Your Private Event Venue in Orlando
A family-owned Italian restaurant hosting weddings, birthdays, corporate dinners, and every celebration in between since 1991.
A Venue That Actually Feels Special
Most private event venues in Orlando fall into two categories: generic hotel ballrooms with beige walls and stale air, or overpriced tourist traps where the food is an afterthought. Ciao Italia Ristorante is neither. It is a private event venue in Orlando where the food is the centerpiece, the service is personal, and the space feels like it was built for celebrations.
The Navarra family opened the doors in 1991 and has been hosting private events ever since. The dedicated private dining room seats up to 60 guests with its own entrance, its own service team, and a menu built specifically for your event. Need more space? A full restaurant buyout accommodates up to 110 guests for weddings, milestone birthdays, and corporate galas.
Events Worth Remembering
Whether you are planning an intimate anniversary dinner for 20 or a full-scale wedding reception for 100, the process starts with a conversation. The Navarra family sits down with every host to build a prix fixe menu tailored to their guests. Appetizers, salads, entrees, desserts, wine pairings. Everything is made from scratch in the kitchen, not shipped in from a catering company.
The menu includes dishes that have been on the table for over three decades: handmade Pappardelle with Wild Boar, Risotto alla Pescatora loaded with fresh seafood, Vitello Piccata, and a tiramisu that guests request by name. This is food that turns a private event into a story people retell.
Why Hosts Choose Ciao Italia
Location matters. Ciao Italia sits at 6149 Westwood Boulevard, Orlando, FL 32821, minutes from SeaWorld, International Drive, and the Orange County Convention Center. Out-of-town guests find it easily. Free self-parking means no one pays valet fees or circles a parking garage after a long day. The restaurant is open seven days a week from 5 PM to 10 PM, so your event does not need to fit into a narrow availability window.
For private event inquiries, call (407) 354-0770 and speak directly with the Navarra family. No event coordinator middleman. No automated booking system. Just a real conversation with the people who will be in the kitchen and on the floor the night of your event.
