Private Party Restaurant in Orlando
Your party. Your menu. Your private room. Up to 110 guests.
The Private Party Restaurant Orlando Has Been Missing
Planning a private party at a restaurant in Orlando usually means settling. Most places offer a semi-private area that is really just a section of the dining room with a slightly different table arrangement. You are still next to other diners, the noise level makes conversation difficult, and the "private" part of the experience is mostly imaginary. That is not what a real private party looks like.
Ciao Italia Ristorante has a dedicated private dining room that seats up to 60 guests in a space that is truly separated from the main restaurant. For larger parties, a full venue buyout gives you the entire restaurant for up to 110 guests. You get your own space, your own menu, and the full attention of the Navarra family's service team. The food is authentic Italian, prepared by a kitchen that has been doing this for more than 35 years.
Every Type of Party, One Perfect Venue
Ciao Italia has hosted thousands of private parties since 1991. Birthday dinners for 20. Anniversary celebrations for 50. Graduation parties, retirement dinners, engagement gatherings, bridal showers, baby showers, holiday parties, and family reunions. Whatever the occasion, the restaurant has the experience and flexibility to make it work. You are welcome to bring your own cake and decorations, and the staff will help with setup.
Every party starts with a custom menu. The event coordinator works with you to design a multi-course Italian dinner that your guests will actually remember. Options include plated service, family-style dining, and buffet arrangements. Beer and wine packages round out the evening, and the wine list features selections that pair with every course. This is not a prix fixe menu from a laminated card. It is a dinner designed specifically for your party.
Food That Makes the Party
The difference between a good party and a great party is often the food. At Ciao Italia, the kitchen does not cut corners for private events. You get the same quality that has earned the restaurant 9 awards, a Zagat rating, and more than 3,000 reviews over 35 years. Handmade pasta, fresh seafood, traditional veal and chicken dishes, and Italian desserts that people talk about long after the party is over. Your guests eat well, and that sets the tone for the entire evening.
The restaurant is located at 6149 Westwood Blvd, minutes from SeaWorld, International Drive, and the Convention Center. Free self-parking makes it easy for guests to arrive without the hassle of valet or parking fees. The warm, family-run atmosphere adds a personal touch that banquet halls and chain restaurants simply cannot replicate.
