There is a difference between food from a catering company and food from a restaurant. Ciao Italia is a restaurant first — an Italian restaurant on International Drive that has been serving Orlando since 1991. Our catering trays come from the same kitchen, the same chefs, and the same recipes that have earned us 4.6 stars and over 4,000 reviews.
When you order a tray of lasagna from Ciao Italia, it is layered and baked the same way we prepare it for dinner guests. The chicken parmigiana is hand-breaded and fried in our kitchen, not assembled from pre-made components. The penne alla vodka is simmered with real San Marzano tomatoes and cream. This is restaurant food, packed in trays.
The Navarra family opened Ciao Italia in 1991 with a commitment to authentic Southern Italian cuisine. That has never changed. Every dish on our catering menu is made from scratch using the same techniques and ingredients we have used for over three decades. Nothing is pre-made, nothing is frozen, nothing comes from a bag.
Our catering trays are available in half (8–10 servings) and full (16–20 servings) sizes. The $300 minimum applies to all orders. Same-day orders placed by 11 AM are ready by 5 PM. Pickup is 2–5 PM daily at 6149 Westwood Blvd. Call (407) 354-0770 or order online.
Restaurant catering means your food comes from a working restaurant kitchen, not a commissary or warehouse. At Ciao Italia, every tray is prepared by the same chefs who cook for our dinner guests.
Since 1991. The Navarra family has operated Ciao Italia on International Drive for over 35 years.
