From Dolphins to Fine Dining
Discovery Cove is one of Orlando's most exclusive experiences — swimming with dolphins, snorkeling tropical reefs, hand-feeding exotic birds, and floating down a lazy river through a tropical paradise. It is an all-inclusive day resort, which means food and drinks are covered while you are there. But when the gates close and the sun starts to set, the included meals are over. That is when you drive a few minutes up International Drive to Vincenzo Cucina Italiana.
After a day that special, you do not want to end it at a chain restaurant. Vincenzo is located at Vue at 360 on International Drive, just minutes north of Discovery Cove and SeaWorld. We serve handmade pasta, USDA Prime steaks, and ocean-fresh seafood — the perfect evening complement to your day in the water.
Minutes from Discovery Cove on I-Drive
Discovery Cove sits along Central Florida Parkway, just off International Drive near SeaWorld. Vincenzo is located on I-Drive at Vue at 360, next to ICON Park. The drive from Discovery Cove's parking lot to our front door takes just a few minutes. When you arrive, hand your keys to our complimentary valet and walk straight in — no searching for parking after a long day.
A Dinner Worthy of the Day
Discovery Cove is a premium experience, and your dinner should match. At Vincenzo, every dish reflects that same attention to detail. Our kitchen team makes pasta from scratch daily — gnocchi, pappardelle, lasagna, rigatoni. Our steaks are USDA Prime, hand-cut and aged. Our seafood arrives fresh each morning. Nothing is frozen, nothing is microwaved, and nothing comes from a corporate commissary.
- ✭ Fresh Chilean Sea Bass — the perfect seafood after a day in the water
- ✭ Handmade gnocchi in truffle cream — rich, comforting, unforgettable
- ✭ USDA Prime filet mignon — for the appetite a full day outdoors builds
- ✭ Italian wine list — curated selections from Tuscany, Piedmont, and beyond
- ✭ Homemade cannoli and tiramisu — the only way to close the evening
Ideal for Couples and Celebrations
Many Discovery Cove visitors are celebrating something — a honeymoon, an anniversary, a milestone birthday. The dolphin swim is the daytime memory. Vincenzo is the evening one. Our intimate dining room, low lighting, and attentive service create the kind of atmosphere that turns a great day into a perfect one.
If you are visiting with a larger group or family, our Amalfi Room offers private dining for 15 to 50 guests with all-inclusive packages starting at $110 per person. Kids are welcome in our main dining room with a dedicated children's menu at $13 including a beverage.

Happy Hour and Wine Down
Discovery Cove typically closes in the late afternoon, which means you arrive at Vincenzo right in time for happy hour. Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM, enjoy $4 beers, $7 wines, and $10 craft cocktails. Monday happy hour runs all night. Wednesday is Wine Down night — half off wines by the glass. After a day of all-inclusive drinks at the park, our curated Italian wine list is a welcome upgrade.
Also Close to SeaWorld and Aquatica
Discovery Cove is part of the SeaWorld family of parks, all located in the same area along International Drive. If you visited SeaWorld or Aquatica earlier in your trip and want a dinner recommendation, Vincenzo is the same short drive from all three parks. We are the Italian restaurant this part of Orlando turns to when the parks close.
