“We live in Thornton Park and drive to Vincenzo at least once a month. The valet alone makes it worth skipping downtown restaurants.”

The Menu
Downtown Orlando is 15 minutes away. But the food at Vincenzo is worth every mile. Handmade pasta, scratch kitchen, and complimentary valet when you arrive.
Why guests drive from downtown to Vincenzo
Downtown Orlando has plenty of restaurants. It also has plenty of parking meters, garage fees, one-way streets, and circling the block three times before giving up and paying $20 to park. For dinner? That is not the vibe.
Vincenzo is 15 minutes from downtown Orlando, right on International Drive at ICON Park. When you pull up, complimentary valet takes your car. No meters. No garages. No stress. You walk in and dinner starts immediately.
The food is handmade Italian from a scratch kitchen that has been cooking every night since 2014. Handmade pasta, hand-rolled meatballs, fresh sauces, lobster ravioli, chicken marsala, lasagna, and the homemade tiramisu that guests cannot stop talking about.
Over 4,000 reviews and a 4.7 rating tell the story. This is not a chain on I-Drive trying to catch tourists. This is a family-owned restaurant run by the Navarra Group with over 30 years of hospitality experience. Locals from downtown, Winter Park, College Park, and Thornton Park eat here regularly.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night.
Here is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like: you drive 15 minutes from downtown on I-4 or the 408. You pull into ICON Park. Valet takes your car for free. You walk into a warm, candlelit Italian restaurant with no dress code and a full bar.
Happy hour runs Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday 5 to 7 PM. $4 beer, $7 wine, $10 cocktails. Wednesday is Wine Down Wednesday with half off all wines by the glass. The cocktail menu includes espresso martinis, Aperol Spritzes, Negronis, and more.
For groups, the Amalfi Room offers private dining for 15 to 50 guests with custom menus starting at $59 per person. Semi-private dining fits up to 25. Date nights, business dinners, family celebrations — all easy.
And after dinner? You are at ICON Park. The Wheel, the attractions, the energy of International Drive. Compare that to fighting for a parking spot on Orange Avenue. The choice is obvious.

Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides.
From downtown Orlando, take I-4 West to International Drive. The drive is about 15 minutes depending on traffic. ICON Park is visible from the highway — look for the Wheel.
Alternatively, take the 408 West to I-Drive. Either way, once you arrive at 8255 International Drive, the complimentary valet is waiting. No circling, no searching, no paying for parking.
Vincenzo is open seven days a week, 5 PM to 10 PM. Reservations are recommended on weekends but walk-ins are always welcome. Book on OpenTable or call (407) 745-4030.
Whether you live downtown, are visiting downtown Orlando, or just want a better dinner experience without the downtown parking fight, Vincenzo on I-Drive is the answer.
Way better than fighting for parking downtown. The gnocchi is amazing and the atmosphere is perfect for date night.

The Dishes People Come Back For
Chicken parmigiana, fettuccine alfredo, and more. Made fresh, every night.
What draws people from downtown Orlando to International Drive for dinner? The scratch kitchen. Everything at Vincenzo is made from scratch, every night. The pasta is handmade. The meatballs are hand-rolled. The sauces are cooked fresh.
The chicken marsala with portobello mushrooms and marsala truffle sauce is a local favorite. The lobster ravioli stuffed with Maine lobster meat is the showstopper. The lasagna with beef bolognese, mozzarella, ricotta, bechamel is pure comfort.
For dessert, the homemade tiramisu is legendary. Lady fingers, espresso, mascarpone cream. People who live in downtown Orlando drive here specifically for it.
Add the $13 kids menu, the casual no-dress-code atmosphere, and the Epic Universe 10% discount, and you have a restaurant that downtown Orlando needed but I-Drive got instead.
Drove from College Park for a birthday dinner. Best Italian I have had in Orlando. The lobster ravioli and tiramisu are absolutely worth the trip.
