You Just Survived Orlando's Water Parks. Now Eat Like You Mean It.
Orlando has three major water parks and every single one of them will leave you in the same condition: sunburned, dehydrated, legs like jelly, and absolutely ravenous. Whether you spent the day riding Krakatau at Volcano Bay, racing down Dolphin Plunge at Aquatica, or braving Summit Plummet at Blizzard Beach, you have earned something better than a soggy burger from a drive-through on your way back to the hotel.
Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is the dinner after the water park that your whole family actually deserves. Located at Vue at 360 on International Drive, we sit right in the middle of all three parks. Pull up to our complimentary valet, step into cool air conditioning, and let real Italian food fix everything the Florida sun did to you today. Handmade pasta, USDA Prime steaks, fresh seafood, Italian wines, and craft cocktails. No microwaves, no heat lamps, no waiting 45 minutes for a table at the same chain restaurant everyone else is flooding into.

- ✦ ICON Park — walking distance from our front door at Vue at 360

Why Vincenzo Beats Fast Food After the Water Park
Here is what usually happens after a water park day in Orlando. Everyone piles into the car, still damp, arguing about where to eat. Someone pulls up a map, sees 40 chain restaurants on International Drive, and picks the first one with a parking spot. You wait 30 minutes, spend $140 on forgettable food, and go back to the hotel feeling like you wasted the evening.
Vincenzo is a completely different experience. Our complimentary valet means you do not walk another step or hunt for parking. The dining room is cool, quiet, and elegant. The food is made from scratch every day. Our signature lasagna Bolognese, hand-rolled gnocchi in sage brown butter, pan-seared branzino, and a 22-ounce bone-in ribeye are the kinds of dishes that turn a long, exhausting water park day into one of the best nights of your vacation. Pair it with a glass from our Italian wine list or a craft cocktail and suddenly the sunburn does not sting as much.
Complimentary Valet — Because Your Legs Are Done
After climbing water park stairs all day, standing in lines under the sun, and walking back and forth across wave pools, the last thing anyone in your group wants to do is circle a parking lot. Our complimentary valet parking is waiting for you every evening. Drive up, hand over your keys, and walk straight into dinner. No more steps. No more searching. Just a cold drink and a great meal.
