A family restaurant after SeaWorld Orlando should provide enough menu choices to satisfy children and adults while keeping the evening comfortable. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana offers a $13 children’s menu that includes a beverage for guests ages 10 and under.
The casual atmosphere welcomes shorts and other everyday clothing, so families don’t need to return to their accommodations to change before eating. Parents can choose from the full Italian dinner menu while younger guests enjoy their own selections.
Chicken parmigiana offers a familiar Italian-American dish featuring breaded chicken with tomato sauce and melted cheese. Fettuccine Alfredo provides a creamy pasta selection for diners who prefer classic comfort food. Tiramisu offers a traditional Italian dessert with espresso and mascarpone flavors.
The separate children’s menu allows younger family members to order their own meals while adults explore the regular Italian offerings.

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.

We came after the parks and it was the perfect way to end the day. The gnocchi was unreal and the valet made everything so easy.
