“Pool day at the Avanti, dinner at Vincenzo. The perfect Orlando combination. The linguine and clams transported us to the Amalfi Coast.”

The Avanti Resort is a solid I-Drive hotel with a great pool. After a day of swimming, sunning, and relaxing, dinner should maintain that vacation energy — not deflate it with mediocre chain food.
Vincenzo is a short drive north on International Drive. The linguine and clams brings Middle Neck clams sauteed in garlic, parsley, and white wine over fresh linguine. The flavors are clean, bright, and transportive — like dinner on an Italian coast instead of a Florida tourist strip.
The chicken parmigiana is the comfort classic done right: hormone-free chicken breast, hand-breaded, fried golden, topped with marinara and melted mozzarella, served over spaghetti. It is the dish that earns Vincenzo its repeat visitors.
For couples, the butternut squash ravioli is a romantic choice — homemade ravioli with porcini, sage, and truffle cream sauce. Pair it with a glass of Pinot Grigio and the evening transforms.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
International Drive restaurants open and close constantly. New concepts arrive with fanfare and disappear within two years. Vincenzo opened in 2014 and has been serving handmade Italian every night since.
That longevity is not luck — it is the result of family ownership, scratch cooking, and treating every guest like they matter. The Navarra Group did not chase trends. They cooked real food and let the quality speak for itself.
Avanti Resort guests benefit from that track record. They are not gambling on a new restaurant — they are visiting an established institution with over 4,000 reviews.
No dress code. No pretension. Vacation clothes welcome. Kids welcome. Date nights welcome. Every occasion fits.
We eat at one I-Drive restaurant every trip. This year it was Vincenzo. Now we understand why people keep coming back.

Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Both the Avanti Resort and Vincenzo are on International Drive. The drive takes minutes, heading north to ICON Park. Complimentary valet at the restaurant makes arrival effortless.
After dinner, ICON Park offers evening attractions. Or drive back to the Avanti and enjoy the rest of the evening at the pool or in the room.

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.
Avanti Resort guests are I-Drive savvy. They chose a hotel on the corridor because they want access to attractions, shopping, and dining without leaving the strip. Vincenzo delivers on that promise with genuine Italian food steps away.
Casual, family-owned, handmade, and worth every visit. That is the Vincenzo promise.
