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.

After a day at Epic Universe, you want a restaurant that delivers real food in a relaxed setting. Vincenzo does exactly that. Handmade pappardelle with Angus beef ragu, lobster ravioli with Maine lobster meat, a 20-ounce bone-in ribeye, Chilean sea bass, tiramisu made in-house - and a kids menu where children 10 and under eat with a beverage included. Complimentary valet parking means you pull up, hand over the keys, and walk right in.
