Your Epic Universe ticket can offer value beyond the attractions when you are planning where to eat afterward. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana gives Epic Universe ticket holders 10% off food when they present their park tickets at the restaurant.
The offer provides an additional reason to explore independently owned Italian dining rather than limiting dinner to theme park or hotel restaurants. With nightly service from 5 PM to 10 PM, guests can plan an evening meal around their park visit while enjoying the restaurant’s casual atmosphere.
The bone-in ribeye offers a substantial beef entrée for guests ready for a hearty meal after hours of walking through the park. Linguine and clams provides an Italian seafood pasta alternative for diners who prefer something less meat-focused. Cannoli adds a traditional dessert with a crisp pastry shell and creamy filling.
Whether the evening calls for a large entrée or a classic pasta dinner, qualifying Epic Universe ticket holders can enjoy the 10% food discount.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
The ticket-holder dinner destination is located 2.5 miles from Epic Universe, approximately a 10-minute drive toward International Drive. Travel to ICON Park and look for the Orlando Eye and the prominent StarFlyer, which stands immediately across from Vincenzo.
Complimentary evening valet parking is available at 8255 International Drive, Suite 112, Orlando, FL 32819.
Family-owned since 2014 by the Navarra Group with over 33 years of hospitality experience. Over 4,000 reviews and an OpenTable Diners’ Choice award.
No dress code. Come straight from the park with your ticket in hand. The 10% discount applies to your food, dine-in only.
Hands down the best Italian spot in Orlando. The service was impeccable, the food was absolutely incredible. The lobster ravioli was out of this world.

Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Located at ICON Park on International Drive, near Universal, Epic Universe, SeaWorld, the Orange County Convention Center, major hotels, and Orlando's top attractions, Vincenzo is one of the easiest dinner choices in the city.

Vincenzo is casual enough for vacation clothes, shorts, and families, but polished enough for date nights, business dinners, private events, and celebrations. The atmosphere is warm, upbeat, and welcoming: the kind of place where tourists feel comfortable and locals still recommend it.

We came after Epic Universe and it was the perfect way to end the day. The gnocchi was unreal and the valet made everything so easy.

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.

Made the Way It Should Be
Homemade lasagna. Meatballs with San Marzano sauce. The Italian food you remember, done right.
