Best Seafood Restaurant in Orlando

Fresh Seafood, Italian Style

Orlando may be landlocked, but that does not mean you have to settle for mediocre seafood. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana sources the freshest fish and shellfish available, delivered daily to our kitchen at Vue at 360 on International Drive. Every seafood dish on our menu reflects the Italian coastal tradition of letting premium ingredients speak for themselves — simple preparations, bold flavors, and nothing frozen.

Since 2014, Vincenzo has been voted the #1 Italian restaurant in Orlando, and our seafood program is a major reason guests keep coming back. From whole roasted branzino to delicate shrimp scampi, every dish is prepared to order and served with the kind of care you would expect from a waterfront restaurant in the Amalfi Coast.

Signature Seafood Dishes

• ✦ Branzino — whole Mediterranean sea bass, oven-roasted with lemon, capers, and olive oil
• ✦ Seafood Linguine — shrimp, mussels, clams, and calamari tossed with handmade pasta in white wine sauce
• ✦ Shrimp Scampi — jumbo shrimp sauteed in garlic butter, white wine, and fresh herbs
• ✦ Calamari Fritti — lightly fried calamari with marinara and spicy aioli
• ✦ Salmon — pan-seared Atlantic salmon with seasonal vegetables and lemon caper sauce
• ✦ Lobster Ravioli — handmade ravioli stuffed with fresh lobster in a creamy tomato bisque

Why Seafood Lovers Choose Vincenzo

What sets Vincenzo apart from other seafood restaurants in Orlando is our approach to sourcing and preparation. We do not rely on a single supplier. Our chef works with multiple purveyors to ensure that what arrives at the restaurant each morning meets our standards for freshness and quality. If something is not up to par, it does not make the menu that night.

This is the same philosophy that drives our entire kitchen — from handmade pasta to USDA Prime steaks. Nothing is prepackaged, nothing is microwaved, and nothing sits under a heat lamp. When you order seafood at Vincenzo, it goes from the cooler to the pan to your plate in minutes.

Pair Your Seafood Perfectly

Our sommelier has curated an Italian and California wine list specifically designed to complement seafood. A crisp Vermentino pairs beautifully with branzino. A dry Pinot Grigio elevates shrimp scampi. And our craft cocktail program includes refreshing options like a classic Aperol Spritz or a house limoncello martini that go perfectly alongside lighter fish dishes.

During happy hour — Tuesday through Friday, 5 to 7 PM — wines start at just $7 a glass, making it easy to explore new pairings without a sommelier budget. Monday happy hour runs all night, and Wednesday is Wine Down night with half off all wines by the glass.
