Common Questions

Frequently Asked

Is Ciao Italia a good venue for a rehearsal dinner?

Absolutely. Our warm Italian atmosphere and family-style dining create the perfect rehearsal dinner experience. Private dining room (up to 60) or full buyout (up to 110) gives your wedding party privacy.

What size rehearsal dinners do you typically host?

Rehearsal dinners range from 15-30 in our private dining room to 50-100+ with a full buyout. Most are 25-50 guests, fitting perfectly in our private dining room.

Which night of the week do rehearsal dinners usually happen?

Most are held on Friday evenings before a Saturday wedding. We serve dinner nightly from 5-10 PM, so any evening works.

Can the rehearsal dinner be family style?

Yes, and we highly recommend it. Family Style Classica ($50/pp) or Rustica ($60/pp) create a warm, communal atmosphere that brings the wedding party together.

Are I-Drive hotels convenient for rehearsal dinner guests?

Very much so. Ciao Italia is on International Drive at 6149 Westwood Blvd, within a short drive of dozens of I-Drive hotels and resorts.

Can we do toasts and speeches during the rehearsal dinner?

Of course. You have space and privacy for toasts, speeches, and slideshows. We can set up a microphone and AV screen if needed.
