A well-crafted cocktail can turn an ordinary dinner into a more enjoyable evening, especially when the setting encourages guests to relax. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana offers a full bar on International Drive, serving familiar classics and Italian-inspired cocktails within a lively, comfortable restaurant.
Rather than operating as a dedicated cocktail lounge, Vincenzo combines its beverage program with an extensive Italian dinner menu and a welcoming atmosphere. Guests can enjoy a Negroni, Aperol Spritz, or Espresso Martini.
Arancini offers fried rice balls filled with wild mushrooms, truffle, and Fontina. Antipasto Italiano presents cured meats, cheese, roasted peppers, olives, and artichokes. During Happy Hour, select cocktails are $10, with Monday specials available all evening and Tuesday through Friday from 5–7 PM.
A memorable cocktail experience is about more than what’s in the glass; the atmosphere and food surrounding it matter just as much.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
Vincenzo is at 8255 International Drive, Suite 112, at ICON Park directly across from the Orlando StarFlyer. The restaurant sits along one of Orlando’s most recognizable entertainment stretches, with the Orlando Eye nearby.
After a day at the parks, a convention, or a night exploring I-Drive, guests can sit down, relax, and enjoy a real meal without leaving the area. Complimentary valet parking makes the evening simple.

Hands down the best Italian spot in Orlando. The service was impeccable, the food was absolutely incredible. The lobster ravioli was out of this world.

Happy Hour is available Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM, with $4 bottled beers, $7 wines by the glass, $10 cocktails, and select small bites.

Whether you are stopping in for happy hour, bringing the family for dinner, planning a private celebration, or looking for the best Italian restaurant near the Convention Center and Orlando attractions, Vincenzo makes every visit feel easy, memorable, and worth choosing.
This place is a hidden gem on I-Drive. Not a chain, not overpriced tourist food. Real Italian with real heart. The tiramisu alone is worth the trip.
