College graduation dinner group celebration at Vincenzo Orlando
College Grad

They Earned This Dinner

Four years of classes, exams, late nights, and final projects. Your college graduate made it across the finish line. Now the family is flying in, the friends are gathering, and everyone needs a place to sit down together and celebrate. That place is Vincenzo Cucina Italiana on International Drive.

Whether your graduate walked the stage at UCF, Valencia College, Rollins College, Full Sail University, or any of the other colleges and universities in the Orlando area, Vincenzo is where the celebration continues. Private dining in the Amalfi Room for 15 to 50 guests, or a full restaurant buyout for groups up to 140.

The food is real Italian. Handmade pasta, fresh seafood, USDA Prime steaks, and homemade desserts. This is a dinner that matches the magnitude of the milestone.

UCF Families

Convenient for UCF Commencement

UCF commencement ceremonies are held at Addition Financial Arena and the Orange County Convention Center, both a short drive from Vincenzo on International Drive. After the ceremony, the whole family can head straight to dinner without fighting traffic across town.

For families staying in the International Drive hotel corridor, Vincenzo is just steps from major hotels including the Hilton Orlando, Hyatt Regency Orlando, Rosen Centre, Rosen Plaza, and dozens of others. Out-of-town grandparents, aunts, uncles, and family friends can walk or take a short ride to dinner.

Valencia College, Rollins College in Winter Park, and Full Sail University in Winter Park are all within easy driving distance. No matter which school your graduate attended, Vincenzo is a central meeting point for the entire family.

The Details

Slideshows, Speeches, and Champagne Toasts

The Amalfi Room comes with complimentary AV equipment. Plug in the laptop and play that slideshow of every awkward freshman photo through graduation day. Use the microphone for toasts and speeches. Connect to the Bluetooth speakers for a curated playlist that sets the mood.

Order a champagne toast for the table. Build a custom Italian menu that includes everyone's favorites. Add a bar package so the adults can relax while the new graduate basks in the moment.

This is not a quick dinner at a chain restaurant. This is a private celebration at one of Orlando's most trusted Italian restaurants, backed by over 4,000 guest reviews and 30 years of hospitality experience from the Navarra Group.

My daughter graduated from UCF and we brought 30 family members to Vincenzo for dinner. The Amalfi Room was perfect. The slideshow on the projector had everyone crying and laughing. Best graduation dinner we could have asked for.
