Hotel banquet food is forgettable. The chicken is dry, the pasta is from a steam tray, and the room looks like every other corporate event your team has endured. You can do better. A scratch-made Italian dinner at a real restaurant changes the entire tone of a corporate event. The food is better because an actual kitchen is cooking it to order. The atmosphere is warmer because you are sitting in a restaurant that has been hosting families and celebrations for over three decades, not a rented ballroom.
Ciao Italia has been family-owned by the Navarras since 1991 — right here on International Drive and Westwood Blvd in Orlando. Everything is made from scratch. The pastas, the sauces, the slow-braised meats. There are no frozen entrees, no catering shortcuts, no assembly-line plating. When your team sits down to dinner here, they are eating the same food our regular guests have been coming back for since the first Bush administration.
Your team deserves better than a hotel ballroom. Your clients deserve better than a chain restaurant with a "private" section that is really just a corner with a curtain. Whether it is a team dinner after a long project, a client event that needs to impress, or a convention group that wants real food after three days of conference catering — Ciao Italia is the corporate event venue in Orlando that people actually remember.
