Fairfield Inn by the convention center is practical. But hotel dining is limited to quick-service. Vincenzo is 5 to 8 minutes north on I-Drive with scratch-made Italian.
The pappardelle ragu — fresh pasta ribbons with slow-simmered Angus beef ragu, basil, and pomodoro — is soul food that delivery cannot touch.
The antipasto Italiano brings prosciutto, mortadella, salame, parmigiano, roasted peppers, olives, and artichokes. It makes colleagues lean in and talk about something other than work.
Complimentary valet. Amalfi Room available for private convention dinners of 15-50.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
Entrees $21-$45. Happy hour $4 beers, $7 wines, $10 cocktails. Kids menu $13. These are not resort prices.
The Navarra family built Vincenzo on accessibility. Quality Italian should be available to everyone who walks through the door.
Over 4,000 reviews from guests at every price point of hotel confirm that.
Convention colleague told me about this place. Expected tourist Italian. Got genuine scratch-kitchen Italian that rivaled restaurants twice the price.
Convention colleague recommended Vincenzo. Expected tourist Italian. Got genuine scratch-kitchen quality. Mind blown.
