Italian Dining on International Drive for Buena Vista Palace Guests
Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is located on International Drive in Orlando. Guests staying at Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace in the Disney Springs area should check current travel time from their hotel, as the Disney Springs area and International Drive are in different parts of Orlando. For guests looking to explore I-Drive dining, Vincenzo offers a family-owned Italian experience with handmade pasta, fresh seafood, USDA Prime steaks, craft cocktails, wine, happy hour, and complimentary valet parking. The restaurant has earned 4,000+ guest reviews over more than 33 years in Orlando.
The Disney Springs area has its own dining scene, but guests on longer stays often want a night out somewhere different. Vincenzo on International Drive is the kind of restaurant that feels like a real neighborhood Italian place. Everything is made from scratch, the service is personal, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming for families, couples, and groups alike.
A Different Kind of Evening
Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace is in the Disney Springs area, surrounded by the dining and entertainment options that come with a major resort district. But sometimes guests want something that feels less like a destination and more like a discovery. Vincenzo offers handmade pasta, USDA Prime steaks, fresh seafood, Italian wine, and craft cocktails on International Drive. No theme, no gimmick, no crowds. Just a family-owned Italian restaurant that has been doing things the right way for more than three decades.
The drive from the Disney Springs area to International Drive gives guests a chance to see a different side of Orlando. I-Drive is home to ICON Park, Pointe Orlando, the Orange County Convention Center, and a stretch of restaurants, shops, and entertainment that feels distinct from the Disney corridor.
For Families on Vacation
Buena Vista Palace guests are often families visiting Walt Disney World. After days of parks, rides, and character dining, a quiet Italian dinner at a real restaurant is the kind of evening that parents appreciate. The kids menu keeps younger guests happy with familiar options, and the full menu gives adults something to look forward to. Handmade lobster ravioli, fresh gnocchi, a 14-ounce bone-in ribeye, Chilean Sea Bass, craft cocktails, and an Italian wine list that rounds out the evening.
The atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable for guests of all ages. No reservations required, though they are recommended during peak weekends and holiday weeks.
For Convention and Business Travelers
Buena Vista Palace also hosts conference and convention groups. If you are in Orlando for business and want a dinner that does not feel like another hotel restaurant, Vincenzo on International Drive is worth considering. For larger groups, the Amalfi Room accommodates 15 to 50 guests with all-inclusive packages. Many corporate groups choose Vincenzo for team dinners and client entertainment during Orlando events.
