Dinner Near the Convention Center

A Real Dinner After a Long Convention Day

You have been on your feet since 8 AM. You have walked the expo floor, sat through panels, shaken a hundred hands, and eaten a forgettable lunch from a food cart. The last thing you want is another mediocre meal at a hotel restaurant or a chain steakhouse packed with badge-wearing conference attendees.

Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is exactly the dinner you need. Located at Vue at 360 on International Drive, just minutes from the Orange County Convention Center, Vincenzo offers a genuine Italian dining experience that feels like a world away from the convention floor. Handmade pasta, USDA Prime steaks, fresh seafood, craft cocktails — all in an elegant setting with complimentary valet parking.

Built for Convention Night Dinners

We know what convention attendees need from a dinner. You need a restaurant that takes reservations, seats you on time, serves excellent food, and does not rush you out the door. You may need a private room for a client dinner or a table for eight where your team can actually hear each other talk. Vincenzo provides all of that.

Our Amalfi Room offers private dining for 15 to 50 guests — perfect for corporate dinners, team celebrations, or client entertaining during convention week. All-inclusive packages start at $110 per person with custom menu options. For smaller groups, our main dining room offers an intimate and refined atmosphere that is a welcome change from the convention chaos.

Client Dinners That Impress

Conventions are where deals happen, and the dinner after the convention is often where they close. Bringing a client to Vincenzo sends a message — you have taste, you know Orlando, and you value the relationship enough to skip the obvious choices. The quality of our food, the elegance of the setting, and the attentiveness of our service make the right impression every time.

If you need a private space for a more sensitive conversation, the Amalfi Room guarantees discretion. No neighboring tables, no background noise from a crowded restaurant — just your group, great food, and the privacy to have a real conversation.

What Our Guests Say

After-Convention Happy Hour

The convention floor closes at 5 PM and you need a drink. Vincenzo's happy hour runs Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM with $4 beers, $7 wines, and $10 craft cocktails. On Monday nights, happy hour pricing lasts all evening. It is the perfect way to decompress with your team before a sit-down dinner.

Wednesday is Wine Down night — half off wines by the glass — which pairs beautifully with a long, leisurely dinner after a mid-week convention day.

Easy Access, No Stress

Getting from the convention center to Vincenzo is straightforward. Head north on International Drive and you will find us at Vue at 360, next to ICON Park. Our complimentary valet takes the parking problem off your plate entirely. After dinner, you can walk to nearby entertainment at ICON Park or head straight back to your hotel with a great meal behind you.

Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is a proud member of the International Drive Chamber of Commerce.
