A vacation at Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa often revolves around family activities, pool days, and exploring Orlando. But couples may also want an evening dedicated to spending time together away from the usual resort routine.
Vincenzo Cucina Italiana offers a comfortable setting for just that kind of occasion. Its upscale atmosphere, Italian cuisine, and welcoming hospitality make it an appealing choice for couples planning a relaxed dinner date.
Handmade pasta creates a natural centerpiece for an Italian evening, while fresh seafood and USDA Prime steaks provide additional entrée choices. Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary or simply enjoying dinner together, the menu offers several possibilities.
The restaurant’s atmosphere feels special without requiring formal clothing. Couples can dress up if they wish, but shorts and casual vacation attire are welcome, making date night easy to enjoy.
Where Every Plate Tells a Story
Hand-rolled gnocchi, slow-simmered sauces, steaks cut fresh daily. Real Italian cooking.
From Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa, Vincenzo is approximately 3.5 miles away via Turkey Lake Road toward International Drive. The estimated drive is 8–10 minutes, allowing couples to plan a dinner outing without traveling far from their accommodations.
Guests can leave the resort at 10000 Turkey Lake Road and head east toward the International Drive area. This route leads toward ICON Park, where the restaurant is situated among recognizable Orlando attractions.
At ICON Park, look for the Orlando StarFlyer, located directly across from Vincenzo. The restaurant’s address is 8255 International Drive, Suite 112, Orlando, FL 32819.
Complimentary valet parking is available every evening, simplifying the arrival experience. With dinner hours from 5 PM to 10 PM daily, couples can plan their evening around other vacation activities.
This place is a hidden gem on I-Drive. Not a chain, not overpriced tourist food. Real Italian with real heart. The tiramisu alone is worth the trip.

Black Angus from Creekstone Farms
Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Date night doesn’t have to involve an elaborate celebration. Sometimes leaving the villa, enjoying a quality meal, and spending an uninterrupted evening together can be one of the most enjoyable parts of a vacation.
Vincenzo offers craft cocktails and wine that complement its Italian menu. Couples can enjoy a favorite drink before deciding whether to order pasta, seafood, or a USDA Prime steak.
Wednesday is an especially appealing evening for wine enthusiasts. Wine Down Wednesday features half off wines by the glass throughout dinner service, from 5 PM until 10 PM.
For couples visiting earlier in the week, Monday Happy Hour runs all evening from 5 PM to 10 PM. The $4 bottled beer, $7 wine, and $10 cocktail specials provide additional options for starting the night.
Came here after reading the reviews and they were all accurate. The chicken marsala was tender, the mushroom sauce was incredible. Very happy we found this place.

Dishes That Define Vincenzo
Ossobuco over saffron risotto. Lobster ravioli in cream sauce. The plates that built our reputation.
Vincenzo has been family-owned since 2014, with the Navarra Group contributing more than three decades of hospitality experience. That established local character gives the restaurant an identity distinct from resort dining.
Its comfortable yet polished setting works for couples celebrating important milestones or simply looking for an enjoyable restaurant experience together. No strict dress requirements mean the focus can remain on the evening itself.
The ICON Park surroundings provide an opportunity to extend the date beyond dinner. Couples can enjoy the atmosphere of International Drive and the nearby attractions before returning to Westgate Lakes.
If you’re looking for a date night near Westgate Lakes Orlando, Vincenzo offers an inviting combination of handmade Italian cuisine, drinks, complimentary evening valet, and a location just minutes from the resort.
We stayed nearby and walked over for dinner. Best decision of the trip. The scallop risotto was restaurant-of-the-year good.
