Skip the convention food. Homemade Italian 5 minutes away. Since 1991. 4,000+ reviews.
Family-Owned Italian — Since 1991 — 6149 Westwood Blvd
You know what is near the Orange County Convention Center? Chains. Hotel restaurants. Overpriced buffets. Convention food courts that charge fifteen dollars for a lukewarm sandwich. You deserve better than that after a long day on the exhibit floor.
Ciao Italia is 5 minutes from the OCCC. It is a family-owned Italian restaurant that has been making everything from scratch since 1991. The pasta is homemade. The sauces are fresh. The bread comes out of the oven warm. Over 4,000 reviews from convention attendees, tourists, and Orlando locals who all found it the same way — looking for a real dinner after a long day. The private dining room seats up to 60 guests, so if you are organizing a team dinner or corporate event after your conference, one call handles everything. Group menus are available.

Organizing dinner for a convention group is stressful. You need a place that can seat everyone, serve the food on time, keep the bill reasonable, and not embarrass you in front of clients. Ciao Italia has been handling convention group dinners for over 35 years. The private dining room seats up to 60 guests in a dedicated space. Group menus simplify ordering. The wine and beer selection pairs with everything on the menu. And the food — homemade pasta, fresh seafood, veal, lamb — is the kind of dinner that makes people remember your event for the right reasons.
Convention attendees who visit the theme parks during their trip can show their SeaWorld, Aquatica, or Discovery Cove ticket and save 10% on dinner. Free parking. Walk-ins welcome. Open nightly 5-10 PM. 6149 Westwood Blvd, Orlando. (407) 354-0770.
