Too big for a normal table. Too small for most private room. Ciao Italia handles 15 perfectly with family-style Italian.

Our Story
When Josie and Antonio Navarra opened Ciao Italia in 1991, they brought their Southern Italian family recipes and a simple philosophy: make great food from scratch, treat guests like family, and never take shortcuts.
More than 35 years later, we are still here — locally owned, scratch-made, and proudly independent. No chains. No shortcuts. Just real Italian food on International Drive, 0.9 miles from the Orange County Convention Center.

Yes. 15 guests is well within our range. We set up a long table or connected tables in the main dining room. Family-style platters go down the center so everyone eats together.
Not at all. 15 fits perfectly in the main dining room. But if you prefer a private space, our private dining room seats up to 60 and is available for groups of any size starting at 10.
Classica is $50/person ($750 for 15), Rustica is $60/person ($900 for 15), and Grande Tavola is $70/person ($1,050 for 15). Plus tax and gratuity.
Yes, the entire table selects one menu tier. This is what makes family-style work — every course comes out together on shared platters. No individual orders, no waiting.
No dress code at all. Ciao Italia has upscale vibes with casual comfort. Shorts, jeans, whatever your group is wearing — you are welcome as you are.
We recommend at least 1 week in advance. Convention weeks and weekends fill fast. Call (407) 354-0770 to reserve.
Ciao Italia is wine and beer only. We offer an Italian wine list and beer selection curated to pair with every course.
