Best Appetizers on International Drive

A memorable Italian dinner often begins with the appetizers, especially when the table has several dishes to share. At Vincenzo Cucina Italiana, the appetizer menu brings together traditional Italian ingredients, contrasting textures, and preparations designed to start the meal on a flavorful note.

From fresh cheeses and cured meats to fried specialties and homemade meatballs, there are choices for guests who enjoy exploring more than one dish. Family-owned since 2014, Vincenzo serves these Italian starters in an inviting setting with upscale vibes and casual comfort.

Arancini offers savory fried rice balls filled with wild mushrooms, truffle, and Fontina cheese. Burrata presents creamy cheese with Prosciutto di Parma, beets, heirloom tomatoes, and fig glaze. Meatballs Polenta features homemade meatballs with San Marzano tomato sauce, soft polenta, basil, and ricotta. Calamari is lightly fried and served with marinara sauce.

The first course sets the mood for the entire evening, especially when every appetizer brings something different to the table.
