Date Night

A Romantic Evening Away from Your Westgate Lakes Villa

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.

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.

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.

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.

We stayed nearby and walked over for dinner. Best decision of the trip. The scallop risotto was restaurant-of-the-year good.
