Veal Done the Italian Way
The veal chop is one of the great dishes of Italian cuisine, and it is increasingly hard to find done properly in Orlando. Most restaurants either do not serve veal at all or treat it as an afterthought. At Vincenzo Cucina Italiana, our veal chop is one of the most celebrated dishes on the menu. It is a thick-cut, bone-in chop that is seared in a screaming hot pan until the exterior develops a deep golden crust, then finished in the oven to the perfect temperature. The result is juicy, tender meat with a flavor that beef simply cannot match.
We serve our veal chop with classic Italian preparations that let the quality of the meat speak for itself. A squeeze of fresh lemon, briny capers, a drizzle of the finest olive oil, and perhaps a scattering of fresh herbs. This is Italian cooking at its best: exceptional ingredients treated with respect and served without unnecessary complication.

A Dish for Special Occasions
There is something inherently celebratory about ordering a bone-in veal chop. It is the kind of dish that makes a Tuesday night feel like an event and elevates a birthday dinner into something truly memorable. At Vincenzo, guests order our veal chop for anniversaries, promotions, first dates, and sometimes just because it is Wednesday and they deserve something extraordinary.
The presentation alone is worth the trip. A thick chop on the bone, perfectly browned, arriving at your table at Vue at 360 on International Drive while the entire dining room sneaks a look. Pair it with a bold Barolo or a Brunello di Montalcino from our wine list, and you have one of the finest dinners available in Central Florida.

Beyond Veal: The Full Menu
Our veal chop shares the menu with USDA Prime steaks including filet mignon and bone-in ribeye, fresh seafood like pan-seared branzino, and a full selection of handmade pastas. Many guests start with a pasta course and follow with the veal chop, dining Italian-style with multiple courses enjoyed at a leisurely pace. This is not a rush-in, rush-out chain restaurant. Dinner at Vincenzo is an experience.
