A Real Dinner After a Long Convention Day

After hours of keynotes, panel discussions, and expo halls, your group deserves a real dinner. Not a banquet hall. Not a chain. A real restaurant with handmade pasta, quality steaks, good wine, and a staff that knows how to take care of groups. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana has been one of Orlando's favorite Italian restaurants since 2014, and we are located right on International Drive, just a quick ride from the Orange County Convention Center.

The Navarra family has been in the restaurant business for over 33 years. They know what it takes to host a convention dinner where people can actually relax, eat something great, and enjoy each other's company outside of a conference room. Whether it is a team of 15 or a corporate buyout for 150, we make it happen.

The Menu Your Group Will Actually Talk About

Our kitchen turns out handmade pasta every single day. We are talking about dishes made from scratch, not reheated from a freezer. Our Black Angus steaks come from Creekstone Farms, and our seafood arrives fresh. The full bar offers craft cocktails, Italian wines by the bottle, and a beer list that covers all the bases. If you are coming in during happy hour, Monday is all night and Tuesday through Friday runs 5 to 7 PM. Wine Down Wednesday and Tuesday Martini Night are perfect for convention crowds looking to unwind.

Got some picky eaters in the group? No problem. Between the pasta, steaks, seafood, chicken, and a kids menu at $13, there is genuinely something for everyone. We even have outdoor dining if the Florida weather is cooperating.

Private Rooms and Flexible Setups

The Amalfi Room is our private dining room, and it fits 15 to 50 guests with a dedicated service team, its own entrance, and AV technology for anyone who wants to run a slideshow or give a quick toast. For larger groups, we set up semi-private sections in the main dining room or do a full restaurant buyout for 150-plus people. Our events coordinator works with you on every detail, from the seating chart to the bar package to the timeline for the evening.
