Retirement Dinner Orlando
Decades of work deserve more than a conference room cake. Family-style Italian, private room, shared platters since 1991.
They Deserve Better Than a Conference Room
Someone gave their career decades of dedication. The send-off should match. Not a conference room with a sheet cake and plastic cups. A real dinner, at a real restaurant, where colleagues and family gather around shared platters of handmade Italian food.
Family-style dining changes the dynamic. Instead of everyone staring at the person across from them, platters arrive at the center of the table and the whole group shares. People move around, talk, toast, and celebrate. It is the format that turns a dinner into a party.
Ciao Italia has been hosting retirement dinners on International Drive and Westwood Blvd since 1991. Private room for up to 60 guests. Full restaurant buyout for 110. Three menus from $50 per person. Wine and beer. No dress code — come as you are. 4,000+ reviews.

Colleagues, Family, and Shared Platters
A retirement dinner is one of those rare occasions where work friends and family end up at the same table. Family-style Italian makes it work. Platters arrive, everyone shares, the conversation flows naturally. Toasts happen between courses. Stories get told. The guest of honor feels celebrated — not lectured at.
Private dining room for up to 60. Three menus from $50 per person. The Navarra family has been hosting these dinners since 1991.
