There are many reasons why Christini’s Ristorante Italiano is quite simply the best fine dining establishment on Restaurant Row and indeed the whole of Orlando. From the stunning decor in our main dining room to the exquisitely authentic dishes created by our owner Chris and his highly-trained team of chefs, we are an establishment that has won countless awards for the service we offer and the memories we help to create.
However, on top of all these reasons – many of which we have not yet mentioned – there is another factor that sets us apart from the other fine dining establishments in Orlando and that’s our ability to cater for private parties and functions in our world-class and famed Ivy Dining Room. Look online for “restaurants with private party rooms near me” whilst in the Orlando area and you’ll find us along with a list of other suitable establishments, but we’re here to tell you that if you want your private event to be one that will live long in the memory of everyone in attendance – it simply has to be Christini’s.
“The Ivy Room – Offering a combination of elegance, style and grandeur”
Unlike other restaurants you’ll find in the Orlando area, we operate a single establishment rather than a nationwide chain and it’s something that allows us to maintain our exacting standards for every patron that dines with us. From the ambience to the decor to the fine wines that accompany our spectacular food, having just one location allows us to focus on every minute detail to make sure every visitor gets the very best that we have to offer.
Anyone who joins for dinner gets to feel like a VIP throughout their stay with us and even if you’re looking to accommodate a large group of people, we have the facilities and the know-how to cater for everyone without compromising on the cuisine or the service we provide. We serve hundreds of people every day, so why should it matter if you’re all dining together? We don’t think it should and so we won’t accept second best.
The Ivy Room for Private Parties
On the list that will come up by searching online for “restaurants with private rooms near me” whilst in Florida, you’ll find some perfectly adequate establishments, as there are many eateries in the locale, however, none will be able to provide it with comparable elegance and luxury that can be found in our famed Ivy Room. Combining both style and grandeur, the luxurious decor is reflective of the high levels of service our guests receive when dining there.
Whatever the reason for your private party, be it a business gathering, a special occasion like a birthday or even a wedding reception, our private dining Ivy room is able to see up to 54 guests. Don’t worry if your group isn’t quite as large as this, as we are also able to cater for smaller groups in one of several intimate mezzanine areas just off our main dining room. When you book either by calling our office or via our website, we’ll find the perfect location within our best restaurant Orlando to suit your needs.
The dining experience you get when visiting Christini’s Ristorante Italiano is second to none, of that we are certain and that’s irrespective of the size of your party. Whether you’re a couple coming to us for a romantic meal for two in our main dining room or a party of 54 looking to dine after visiting a convention at the Orange County Convention Center, you’ll get the same menu choices and attentive service. In fact, we’re the only restaurant in Orlando that provides a la carte dining, irrespective of the size of your party.
Private Luncheons
If you’re organising a major private function for up to 200 people in Orlando and you need to find a location that not only accommodates but over-delivers every time, you’ll likely be wondering “which restaurants with private rooms near me are going to cater for a group of this size?” and you’ll be pleased to find out that Christini’s are again able to accommodate.
Typically speaking, Christini’s Ristorante Italiano is closed for lunch, but it is possible to book our entire restaurant for private personal or business luncheons. As many as 200 people can be catered for in this way and all within the confines of a restaurant that is famed for atmosphere and ambience. If you’re hosting business partners in this way, the world-class service we provide will leave a lasting impression on them, helping to create a lasting bond with your business associates.
“We’re the only restaurant in Orlando to offer a la carte dining to large groups of people”
Of course, your guests will understand that it’s the Christini’s team that is providing the superlative cuisine and unforgettable service, but it will only reflect well on you as someone with a discerning choice of where to hold an event of this type. We will do our absolute utmost to ensure that your business luncheon goes smoothly and without hitch.
Group Menus or A La Carte
We’ve already touched upon the fact that we’re the only restaurant in the Orlando area to provide a la carte dining for large parties, but we also understand that catering for people in this way can be a little too complicated when there’s a lot of you. For those who want to keep things simple, we also provide a mouthwatering choice on our group menus.
Let’s have a closer look at the delights that are available.
Antipasti
Our group menus are simply packed with superlative tastes from the Old Country and they have been expertly provided by Chris Christini and his wonderfully talented chefs. For example, from our antipasti selection, we have our signature Fettucine Alla Christini’s, which is our interpretation of Fettucine Alfredo and it consists of delicious Parmigiano Reggiano, butter and cream.
“Our team will make sure your bridal shower or wedding reception is an occasion you’ll remember for all the right reasons”
Or how about Insalata Mista Alla Romana, for those who want to save their entire appetite for our exquisite group menu main courses. We challenge you to look online for “restaurants near me with private party rooms near me” whilst in Orlando and find another with appetiser selections of this quality on their large group offerings.
Secondi Piatti
Now to the group menu main courses and there are some real delights on offer. You could opt for Seafood Fra Diavolo, which is a fabulous fresh seafood medley served with a pescatore sauce and delicious linguine – ideal for those with a penchant for cuisine with a zing. Or for meat lovers, we have Costata Di Viello All Parmigiana – a mouth-watering 12 oz bone-in veal steak that will leave your taste buds stimulated and your appetite satisfied.
Each main course created by the Christini’s for the group menu has every bit of passion and culinary know-how in every bite. Chris wouldn’t have it any other way.
Dolci
No fine dining experience would be the same without a choice of amazing desserts for our customers to enjoy, which is why our group menus come with a choice of Roman, Venetian and Tuscan dishes to really finish off your appetite. Depending on the group menu you go for, your party will have the choice of a variety of sweet delights, all of which herald from the shores of Italy.
We’re sure that whichever group menu dessert selection you choose, you’ll be blown away by the tastes and textures of the dishes served.
Bridal Showers & Receptions
There’s no doubt that anyone who’s getting married will want their bridal shower or wedding reception to be the stuff of dreams and that’s absolutely what you get when you book yours with Christini’s Ristorante Italiano. The Ivy Room is a particularly popular choice for bridal showers, as it offers a really elegant backdrop for ladies to celebrate the bride-to-be and have a great time.
“We have both the know-how and dedication to ensure standards stay high, no matter how many are in your party”
We’re also fully equipped to provide the famous Christini’s experience for wedding receptions, so if you’re going to get hitched and you’d like to incorporate our award-winning fine dining into proceedings, we’d love to hear from you. Our team will make sure it’s an occasion you’ll remember forever and for all the right reasons.
An Impressive Track Record
At Christini’s, we have an impressive track record when it comes to catering for large groups of people as we’re the preferred destination for visitors to the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC), which is just a short drive away from us. Millions of people flock to the area every year for business seminars and conventions of all types and sizes and we have both the know-how and the dedication to ensure standards stay high, no matter how many people are in your party.
There’s a reason why we come out on top online when you search in Orlando for “the best restaurants with private party rooms near me” and that’s because of our ability to make every person in your party feel special, even if there are literally hundreds of you! We’ve had lots of practice over the years, as you would expect, being so close to a world-class convention centre like the OCCC
The Go-To Private Fine Dining Destination for Luncheons and Dinners in Orlando

Others may be able to accommodate that many people, but few can do so with the panache and style that we can at Christini’s.
