The Right Place to Ask

It needs to be somewhere quiet, warm, and genuine. Somewhere the food is exceptional and the staff understands what is about to happen.
Ciao Italia Ristorante is a proposal dinner restaurant near International Drive in Orlando that has seen hundreds of engagements since the Navarra family opened the doors in 1991. The atmosphere is intimate without being stuffy. The lighting is warm. The tables are spaced for privacy. And when you call ahead, the family makes sure everything is exactly right.
Why Proposals Happen Here
Ciao Italia is not the kind of restaurant that tries to impress you with flashy decor or bottle service. It impresses you with food that was made by hand that afternoon, with wine that was chosen with care, and with service from people who have been doing this for over three decades.

When you call ahead to let the Navarra family know about your proposal, they coordinate the details. They can arrange the right table, time the dessert course, and ensure the moment feels natural and private. They have done this many times and they know how to make it work without making it feel staged.
