Close to the Convention Center, Far From Generic

Finding a restaurant near the Orange County Convention Center that is not a chain and not inside a hotel lobby is harder than it should be. Ciao Italia is the answer. We are at 6149 Westwood Blvd, minutes from the OCCC, with a free parking lot right in front. No valet, no garage, no hassle. Inside, it is a casual Italian restaurant where handmade pasta and fresh sauces have been the standard since 1991. The menu has something for everyone — from classic Fettuccine Alfredo to Gulf grouper to Australian lamb chops. And if your group needs a private space, we have dining for up to 60 guests with catering packages starting at $60 per person.

The Restaurant That Brings Everyone Together

When you are organizing a dinner for a group of convention attendees, you need a restaurant everyone can agree on. Ciao Italia is that restaurant. Italian food is universally loved, and the menu is broad enough to cover every preference — vegetarian pastas, fresh seafood, grilled meats, and a $13 kids menu for anyone who brought their family along. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming without being stuffy. The service is attentive but not hovering. And the prices are reasonable for the quality — pastas from $19, secondi from $24. 6149 Westwood Blvd, Orlando. (407) 354-0770.
