Finding the right family restaurant after Epic Universe means keeping both children and parents happy at the end of an exciting day. Younger guests may want familiar food, while adults often appreciate the opportunity to enjoy a more interesting dinner without visiting separate restaurants.
Vincenzo Cucina Italiana welcomes families in a casual Italian setting, offering a $13 children’s menu with a beverage for ages 10 and under. Family-owned since 2014, the restaurant combines comfortable dining, flexible menu choices, and complimentary evening valet parking.
Chicken parmigiana offers a familiar combination of breaded chicken, tomato sauce, and melted cheese that appeals to guests who enjoy traditional Italian-American dishes. Fettuccine Alfredo provides a creamy pasta option for diners who prefer comforting flavors without a tomato-based sauce. Cannoli adds a traditional Italian dessert with a crisp pastry shell and sweet filling.
Parents can explore the regular dinner menu while younger children choose from their own specially priced selections.
