Handmade pasta dinner after volleyball tournament in Orlando
After the Last Match

Not Concession Food. Real Dinner.

The AAU Girls Junior National Volleyball Championships bring over 300,000 people to Orlando every summer, June 17 through July 7, 2026. After a full day of competition at the Orange County Convention Center, your family does not want reheated pizza or fast food from a food court.

Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is a family-owned Italian restaurant on International Drive, near the OCCC. Handmade pasta — lobster ravioli, gnocchi, pappardelle — fresh seafood, chicken parmigiana, Italian appetizers like burrata and bruschetta. A real meal to end a real day of volleyball.

For the Exhausted Parents

Happy Hour & Craft Cocktails

You watched seven sets of volleyball, drove through I-Drive traffic, and somehow kept it together all day. You need a drink. Vincenzo has a full bar with craft cocktails, Italian wine, and beer — plus happy hour deals that make it even better.

Monday is happy hour all night. Tuesday through Friday, 5 to 7 PM. Wine Down Wednesday is half off all wines by the glass. Martini Tuesday has martini specials all evening. While the kids dig into spaghetti and meatballs, the parents can finally relax with a proper cocktail.

Fuel Up the Athletes

Young volleyball players need carbs and protein after competing all day. The kids menu at Vincenzo is $13 with a beverage included — spaghetti with meatballs, chicken tenders with fries, fettuccine alfredo, cheese pizza, beef ravioli. The kind of food that actually refuels a tired athlete.

Complimentary valet parking every evening means you pull up, hand over the keys, and walk straight inside. No circling a parking lot. No dealing with I-Drive traffic on foot. After the day you had, that matters.

Post-Tournament Dinner Reviews

★★★★★

"After three days of AAU Volleyball at the convention center, we were desperate for a real dinner. Vincenzo saved us. My daughter had the chicken parm, my wife and I split the lobster ravioli, and the happy hour wine was exactly what we needed. The valet was the cherry on top."

"We came here every single night during our volleyball tournament. The staff recognized us by night three. Kids got their usual spaghetti, parents got Wine Down Wednesday specials. It became our family tradition for AAU Nationals."

"Our whole team came here after our last pool play matches. Fifteen people and they did not skip a beat. The bruschetta appetizer was incredible, the kids were happy, and the atmosphere was nice enough for a team photo but relaxed enough for kids in jerseys. Perfect post-tournament spot."
