Steps Away

Your Suite Has a Kitchen — Walk to Ours Instead

Element Orlando on Universal Blvd gives extended-stay guests modern suites with kitchenettes. For nights when cooking feels like too much work, Vincenzo is walking distance.

The short rib pappardelle is what happens when a restaurant spends hours braising beef with wild mushrooms, marsala, and truffle cream, then serves it over fresh pasta ribbons. Your kitchenette cannot do that.

The grouper is another showcase — Florida black grouper over crab risotto with jumbo shrimp and citrus beurre blanc. Fresh, local, and expertly prepared.

Same Street, Different Universe

Element on Universal Blvd and Vincenzo at ICON Park are neighbors on the same corridor. The proximity makes Vincenzo function like a neighborhood restaurant — the kind of place you walk to without planning.

That casual accessibility is rare on International Drive, where most dining requires a car. Element guests simply walk out and walk in.

Open 5-10 PM every night. Walk-ins welcome. The bar is comfortable for solo extended-stay diners. Happy hour Mon all night, Tue-Fri 5-7 PM.

Wine Down Wednesday adds half-off wines by the glass. A weekly tradition for extended-stay guests.

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.
