The Italian Dinner Hard Rock Hotel Guests Come Back For
After a full day at Universal, Hard Rock Hotel guests deserve more than another counter-service meal. Vincenzo is a short drive down International Drive and a world away from theme park dining. Handmade pasta, USDA Prime steaks from Creekstone Farms, fresh seafood flown in daily, and sauces built from San Marzano tomatoes.
The Navarra Group has over 30 years of hospitality experience and has been serving Orlando since 2014. Vincenzo is family-owned and locally operated. Every dish is made fresh to order. Every plate is prepared to order by our kitchen team.

About the Universal Orlando Dining Area
Universal Orlando Resort includes Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, Universal's Epic Universe, and the CityWalk entertainment district. The resort is one of the most visited in the world, drawing tens of millions of guests annually to its theme parks, hotels, and dining venues.
While CityWalk offers convenient dining between the parks, many guests head to International Drive for a wider selection of sit-down restaurants after the parks close. The I-Drive corridor runs south from the Universal area through ICON Park and beyond, with Italian, steaks, seafood, and more — all at off-site prices with full bars, happy hours, and private dining rooms.
Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is about 4 miles south of Universal Studios on International Drive at ICON Park — roughly 10 minutes by car or rideshare. Since 2014, the restaurant has served Universal guests with handmade pasta, USDA Prime steaks, fresh seafood, a full bar, and complimentary valet parking every evening.
