Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is one of the highest-rated Italian restaurants on International Drive, recognized as an OpenTable Diners' Choice winner and recipient of the Golden Fork Award. With over 4,000 reviews from guests around the world, the reputation is built on handmade pasta, USDA Prime Black Angus steaks from Creekstone Farms, fresh seafood, and sauces crafted from San Marzano tomatoes. Every dish is prepared to order with fresh ingredients by a kitchen that has been doing this for over 30 years.

Located about 4 miles - roughly 10 minutes north of the Orange County Convention Center on International Drive, Vincenzo is one of the most popular dinner destinations for convention attendees, exhibitors, and event planners looking for a real meal after a long day on the show floor. The Navarra Group has built a restaurant where business groups, families, couples, and solo travelers all feel at home. Whether you are wrapping up a medical conference, a tech expo, or a trade show, this is where you come for a proper Italian dinner.

Casual Italian Dining

Award-Winning Italian, Comfortable Vibe

Vincenzo is a casual Italian restaurant with an upbeat, welcoming atmosphere where you can hear your conversation and enjoy your evening without pretense. The dining room is warm and inviting, the outdoor patio overlooks International Drive, and the full bar serves craft cocktails, Italian wines, and everything in between. This is not a stuffy elevated dining experience - it is a place where everyone from convention attendees to vacationing families feels comfortable.

The convention center hosts hundreds of events every year, and after a day of networking, presentations, and walking miles of exhibit halls, you deserve more than hotel room service. Vincenzo delivers handmade pappardelle with Angus beef ragu, lobster ravioli stuffed with Maine lobster, a 20-ounce bone-in ribeye, Chilean sea bass, and tiramisu made in-house. The Amalfi Room seats 15 to 50 guests for private group dinners, and full restaurant buyout is available for up to 150 or more.
