Wine Dinner in Orlando
Italian wine and cuisine paired to perfection since 1991
Classic Italian Wine Pairings
Italian wine and Italian food were made for each other. A rich Chianti Classico with our chicken parmigiana. A smooth Barolo alongside braised short ribs. A glass of Vermentino with our branzino or grouper. These are not random pairings. They are combinations that Italian families have been perfecting for centuries, and they are the same pairings we serve at our tables every night.
Our handmade pastas are especially rewarding with wine. The risotto pescatore with a chilled Verdicchio. Sacchetti filled with ricotta and pear alongside a light Pinot Noir. Pappardelle with wild boar ragu and a glass of Montepulciano. Every dish on our menu has a wine that makes it sing, and our staff is happy to walk you through the options.
Private Wine Dinners for Groups
Looking to host a wine dinner for a special occasion, a corporate event, or just a group of friends who love good wine? Our private dining room seats up to 60 guests and is ideal for wine-focused events. We can build a custom multi-course menu with wine pairings for each course, or offer a selection of bottles for the table to share family style.
Private wine dinners at Ciao Italia include dedicated service staff, a customizable menu, and the flexibility to design the evening around your preferences. Whether you want a formal five-course pairing or a relaxed evening with great bottles and shareable plates, we can make it happen. Call us at (407) 354-0770 to start planning.
