Best Dinner in Orlando

Where to Eat Dinner in Orlando Tonight

You are in Orlando, the sun is going down, and you need dinner. Maybe you just spent the day at a theme park. Maybe you are here for a convention. Maybe you live here and you are tired of cooking. The question is the same: where do you go for the best dinner in Orlando?

Vincenzo Cucina Italiana has answered that question for over 4,000 diners who left reviews, and for tens of thousands more who simply come back again and again. Located at Vue at 360 on International Drive, Vincenzo opens at 5 PM every single evening, seven days a week, and serves dinner until 10 PM. The Navarra family has been running this kitchen since 1991, and the restaurant has held the title of Orlando's #1 Italian every year since 2014.

What Dinner at Vincenzo Looks Like

Dinner at Vincenzo starts the moment you pull up. Complimentary valet takes your car. You walk into a warm, dimly lit dining room with an atmosphere that is refined but never stuffy. The menu arrives, and the hardest part of your evening begins: choosing what to eat.

For pasta lovers, the choices are extraordinary. Every noodle is made by hand that day. The House-Made Gnocchi at $30 practically melts on your tongue. The Filet and Prosciutto Tortellini at $36 is a dish guests fly back to Orlando specifically to eat. The Short Rib Pappardelle at $34 is rich, slow-braised, and deeply satisfying. The Lobster Ravioli at $44 pairs sweet lobster with delicate handmade pasta. And the Lasagna at $24 is the most honest, well-built version of the dish you will find anywhere in Central Florida.

If steak is calling your name, Vincenzo serves USDA Prime, the top grade in the country. The 10-ounce Filet Mignon is tender enough to cut with a fork. The 14-ounce New York Strip at $65 has a fat cap that renders beautifully. The 20-ounce Bone-In Ribeye at $80 is the showstopper, a steak that fills the table and commands attention.

Seafood rounds out the menu with Chilean Sea Bass, Faroe Island Salmon at $39, Florida Grouper at $50, and the Scallop Risotto at $41. The Chicken Marsala at $27, Chicken Piccata at $27, and Veal Parmigiana at $32 round out a menu that has something for everyone at the table.

Why Not Just Go to a Chain?

Orlando has dozens of chain restaurants. Olive Garden is on every block. Carrabba's, Maggiano's, and Mia's Italian Kitchen are all within driving distance. They are fine for what they are. But if you want the best dinner in Orlando, not just an acceptable one, the difference between a chain and Vincenzo is the difference between a frozen pizza and one pulled from a wood-fired oven in Naples. At Vincenzo, nothing is premade, nothing is reheated, and nothing is phoned in.
