Convention food is a necessary evil. By evening, your palate deserves redemption. Vincenzo is 5 to 8 minutes from the Embassy Suites Convention Center.
The USDA Prime filet mignon — 10 ounces, hand-cut from Creekstone Farms, topped with roasted garlic truffle butter — is steak the way it should be.
For something lighter, the beet salad with arugula, goat cheese, artichokes, and champagne vinaigrette cleanses the palate beautifully.
The Amalfi Room hosts private convention dinners for 15-50 guests. Custom menus, AV, complimentary valet.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
Convention team dinners at hotel restaurants feel like extensions of the workday. Vincenzo changes the setting — and with it, the dynamic.
Five minutes of driving creates a complete reset. The warm Italian atmosphere, the craft cocktails, the handmade food — all signal the work day is over.
The Navarra family has hosted over 1,500 events. Convention groups from Embassy Suites are among the most frequent clients.
Per-person pricing, custom menus, and flexible bar options simplify corporate billing.
Our convention team dinner for 18 at Vincenzo was the highlight of the trip. Custom menu, great wine, the whole team actually relaxed.
