Vincenzo Cucina Italiana on International Drive
Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is one of the highest-rated Italian restaurants on International Drive, recognized as an OpenTable Diners' Choice winner and recipient of the Golden Fork Award. With over 4,000 reviews from guests around the world, the reputation is built on handmade pasta, USDA Prime Black Angus steaks from Creekstone Farms, fresh seafood, and sauces crafted from San Marzano tomatoes. Every dish is prepared to order with fresh ingredients by a kitchen that has been doing this for over 30 years.
Located on International Drive between SeaWorld and Universal Orlando, Vincenzo is perfectly positioned for theme park visitors looking for a real dinner after a day of rides and shows. The Navarra Group has built a restaurant that draws both locals and tourists, and after hours of roller coasters, animal encounters, and water rides at SeaWorld, a handmade Italian dinner is exactly what the evening calls for. Pull up, valet takes your car, and you are seated in minutes.

Award-Winning Italian, Comfortable Vibe
Vincenzo is a casual Italian restaurant with an upbeat, welcoming atmosphere where you can hear your conversation and enjoy your evening without pretense. The dining room is warm and inviting, the outdoor patio overlooks International Drive, and the full bar serves craft cocktails, Italian wines, and everything in between.

After a full day at SeaWorld, the last thing you want is another quick-service meal. Vincenzo offers handmade pappardelle with Angus beef ragu, lobster ravioli stuffed with Maine lobster, a 20-ounce bone-in ribeye, Faroe Island salmon, and tiramisu made in-house. The kids menu features six options for children 10 and under with a beverage included — spaghetti with meatballs, chicken tenders, pizza, and more. Complimentary valet parking every evening so there is no fighting for a parking spot after the parks.
