Not every excellent steak dinner on International Drive comes from a traditional steakhouse. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana offers USDA Prime Black Angus steaks within a full-service Italian restaurant, giving guests the quality of a premium beef entrée alongside the variety of an Italian kitchen.
The restaurant’s emphasis remains on casual Italian dining, with handmade pasta, seafood, chicken, and braised specialties sharing the menu with its steak selections. This approach is particularly appealing when one guest wants a substantial ribeye while others at the table prefer an Italian pasta dinner.
The Prime 14oz NY Strip is served with garlic herb butter, mashed potatoes, and Brussels sprouts. The Prime 20oz Bone-in Ribeye features roasted garlic herb butter, Brussels sprouts, and truffle rosemary fries. Prime 10oz Filet Mignon provides a tender alternative. Braised Boneless Short Rib and Veal Ossobuco demonstrate the restaurant’s Italian approach to slow-cooked meat specialties.
You don’t have to choose a steakhouse to enjoy a premium steak, especially when the same kitchen can prepare an exceptional Italian dinner for everyone else. NOT a steakhouse — a casual Italian restaurant with USDA Prime steaks.
