“The AC Hotel is sleek and modern. Vincenzo matched that energy with elevated Italian that felt personal, not pretentious. The short rib pappardelle was extraordinary.”

AC Hotel by Marriott attracts a design-conscious traveler who values clean aesthetics and curated experiences. Vincenzo shares that sensibility — the atmosphere is polished without being stuffy, the food is refined without being complicated, and the experience feels intentional from start to finish.
The short rib pappardelle brings shredded beef, wild mushrooms, marsala, and truffle cream together over fresh pasta ribbons. It is comfort food elevated to an art form. The Chilean sea bass is pan-seared and served with fried artichoke, broccolini, and prosecco butter sauce.
For AC Hotel guests who appreciate craft cocktails, the Negroni is textbook — Campari, sweet vermouth, gin, stirred and strained. The Espresso Martini uses freshly pulled espresso, not a syrup.
The kids menu at $13 with a beverage makes Vincenzo accessible for traveling families, but the real draw for AC guests is the adult experience — the wine list, the bar, and the handmade food.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
AC Hotels celebrate local character. Vincenzo embodies it. The Navarra Group has been part of Orlando's hospitality community for over 30 years. They opened Vincenzo in 2014 with a simple mission: give International Drive a real Italian restaurant.
More than a decade and 4,000+ reviews later, the mission is accomplished. Locals eat here. Tourists discover it. Convention guests return to it. The consistency is remarkable.
AC Hotel guests who value design and craftsmanship will recognize both in Vincenzo's kitchen. Every pasta is handmade. Every steak is hand-cut. Every sauce is simmered. The craft is visible in every dish.
That commitment to quality is why Vincenzo stands out on a street filled with shortcuts.
As a foodie and design nerd, this place hit all the right notes. Beautiful plating, incredible flavors, and an atmosphere that felt like it was designed, not just decorated.

Black Angus from Creekstone Farms
Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
The AC Hotel by Marriott is near International Drive. Vincenzo at ICON Park is a short drive along the corridor. Complimentary valet at the restaurant eliminates any parking friction.
The restaurant opens at 5 PM every evening. AC Hotel guests can arrive early for happy hour pricing or later for a full dinner experience. The kitchen maintains quality throughout the night.
After dinner, ICON Park offers evening entertainment. Or head back to the AC Hotel with the memory of handmade gnocchi and a proper Negroni.
Open 7 days a week, 5 to 10 PM. Reservations on OpenTable or by phone at (407) 745-4030.
Happy hour Negroni, then the carpaccio, then the lobster ravioli. Under $50 for one of the best meals I have had in months. AC Hotel guests, you need to know about this place.

The Dishes People Come Back For
Chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. Fettuccine alfredo with jumbo shrimp. Made fresh, every night.
Happy hour at Vincenzo runs Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM. $4 bottled beers, $7 wines by the glass, $10 cocktails. Wine Down Wednesday drops every wine by the glass to half price.
The cocktail program is designed with the same care as the food. Negronis, Aperol Spritzes, Espresso Martinis, classic martinis, and seasonal specials. Each is handcrafted, not assembled from a pre-mix.
The wine list runs Italian and California, with enough variety for both casual sippers and enthusiasts. Barolos, Brunellos, Pinot Grigios, Chiantis, and more.
The Amalfi Room is available for private dining — 15 to 50 guests with custom menus and dedicated service.
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.
