“We are at Fairfield for three weeks. Vincenzo is our twice-a-week dinner spot. The lobster ravioli never gets old and the Wine Down Wednesday deal is incredible.”

Travelers staying at Fairfield Inn Convention Center can enjoy authentic Italian dinner at Vincenzo Cucina Italiana, approximately 1.0 mile from the hotel. Located at ICON Park on International Drive, the restaurant provides a convenient alternative when you want to leave your hotel for an evening meal. Vincenzo has been locally owned by the Navarra Group since 2014, offering homemade Italian cooking rather than a standardized chain restaurant experience. The restaurant is directly across from the Orlando StarFlyer, making the location easy to identify.
The menu offers something for nearly every member of a traveling group, including homemade pasta, fresh seafood, chicken parmigiana, and USDA Prime steaks. Parents traveling with children can order from the $13 kids menu, which includes a beverage for children ages 10 and under. Guests visiting Orlando on business can enjoy a cocktail or glass of wine before dinner at the full bar. The atmosphere is elegant but casual, allowing Fairfield Inn guests to arrive in comfortable clothing without worrying about a dress code.
Vincenzo serves dinner nightly from 5–10 PM and provides complimentary valet parking at ICON Park. Hotel guests can plan dinner before enjoying the surrounding entertainment district or return directly to their accommodations afterward. Weekday Happy Hour runs Monday from 5–10 PM and Tuesday through Friday from 5–7 PM, with drink and appetizer specials. For guests traveling with a conference group, Vincenzo also offers private dining for parties of 15–50 people.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites is located at 8214 Universal Boulevard, and Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is at 8255 International Drive — both in the same plaza at ICON Park. The walk takes about 3 minutes.
Exit the Fairfield lobby and follow the pedestrian walkway through the plaza. You will see the Orlando StarFlyer — the world's tallest swing ride — directly ahead. Vincenzo is at the base of ICON Park, right across from StarFlyer.
The StarFlyer is the easiest landmark to spot from the hotel. Once you see it, you are essentially at the restaurant. No maps needed, no confusing turns.
Vincenzo is open 5 to 10 PM every night. Walk over after checking in, after a convention session, or after a day at the parks. Complimentary valet is also available if you prefer to drive.
Three-week work trip at Fairfield. Ate at Vincenzo eight times. Never had the same dish twice and never had a bad meal.

Black Angus from Creekstone Farms
Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Fairfield by Marriott's location on Universal Boulevard puts you close to the Orange County Convention Center, making it a popular choice for business travelers attending conferences and trade shows. After a long day on the convention floor, the last thing you want is a complicated dinner plan.
Vincenzo serves business travelers looking for a proper sit-down dinner, couples wanting a romantic evening, and families needing a restaurant that welcomes kids in park clothes. The casual atmosphere accommodates all of them.
The menu covers every preference — handmade pasta for the Italian food lover, USDA Prime steaks for the steak enthusiast, fresh seafood for lighter appetites, and a full bar with craft cocktails, Italian wines, and happy hour specials.
Fairfield guests receive 10% off their food by showing their room key. This offer applies to dine-in only and cannot be combined with other discounts, but it makes an already reasonable dinner even more attractive.
Wine Down Wednesday at Vincenzo is my midweek reward. Half-off Chianti, the Caesar salad, and the penne Verona. Every Wednesday for three months now.

Chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. Fettuccine alfredo with jumbo shrimp. Made fresh, every night.
The Navarra family has operated Vincenzo Cucina Italiana since 2014, bringing over 30 years of hospitality experience to every evening of service. This is not a corporate chain — it is a family-owned restaurant where the owners are present and the food is made from scratch.
Over 4,000 guest reviews across Google, OpenTable, Yelp, and TripAdvisor confirm what Fairfield guests discover on their first visit: the food is exceptional, the service is warm, and the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between elegant and relaxed.
There is no dress code. Shorts, vacation wear, and business casual are all welcome. The vibe is upscale but the comfort is casual — exactly what hotel guests want after a day of travel or conventions.
Walk 3 minutes from Fairfield, show your room key for 10% off your food, and enjoy a dinner that turns an ordinary hotel evening into something worth remembering.
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.
