Dining Options
Staying or working around the Orange County Convention Center on Christmas Eve does not mean settling for dinner inside a hotel. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is only 1.8 miles away, approximately five minutes by car, at ICON Park on International Drive. It will serve dinner on December 24, 2026, from 5 PM through 10 PM.
This is our go-to Italian spot in Orlando. We’ve celebrated birthdays, holidays, and regular date nights here. The tiramisu alone is worth the trip. 4,000 reviews for a reason.

A Welcome Alternative
For Colleagues & Families
The restaurant offers a welcome alternative for colleagues still in town, families attending a convention, or guests looking for a sit-down meal after an event. Expect the regular dinner menu and specials of the day, not an unfamiliar holiday-only selection. Handmade pappardelle, scallop risotto, and filet mignon provide a range of choices across the table.
We hosted a holiday dinner for 8 people and the whole experience was seamless. Great wine selection, handmade pasta, and the staff treated us like VIPs. Will be back.
