“We found Vincenzo on our last night and wished we had come the first night. The lobster ravioli is the best I have ever had. Period.”

Hilton Garden Inn International Drive sits right on International Drive, which means real Italian food is minutes from your room. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana at ICON Park delivers handmade pasta, USDA Prime steaks, and fresh seafood in a family-owned restaurant that has earned over 4,000 reviews since opening in 2014.
The gnocchi is made from potatoes in-house — light, pillowy, and served in pomodoro sauce with burrata and basil oil. The lobster ravioli is stuffed with Maine lobster and ricotta, swimming in a rich lobster cream sauce. The filet mignon is Prime Black Angus from Creekstone Farms, served with truffle butter and broccolini.
For a casual weeknight dinner, the chicken parmigiana or fettuccine alfredo hits the spot. For a special occasion, the Chilean sea bass with artichoke and prosecco butter or the linguine frutti di mare elevates the evening.
Dessert is always homemade — tiramisu, Nutella cheesecake, chocolate mousse, or limoncello cake. Nothing is sourced from a freezer.
Freshness You Can Taste
Our kitchen preps everything daily — pasta, sauces, bread. Nothing comes from a can or a freezer.
Three decades of hospitality experience runs through every decision at Vincenzo. The Navarra Group built this restaurant on International Drive in 2014, choosing ICON Park as the home for their family's approach to Italian dining: fresh ingredients, handmade preparation, and genuine warmth.
The results speak in numbers — 4,000+ reviews across Google, OpenTable, and TripAdvisor — but what they really speak to is consistency. Guests come back because the experience is reliable. The gnocchi is always pillowy. The service is always attentive. The atmosphere is always comfortable.
For groups, the Amalfi Room provides semi-private dining for 15 to 50. Full buyouts are available for parties up to 150. Custom Italian menus, AV capabilities, and a dedicated events team handle the logistics so you do not have to.
That reliability — meal after meal, event after event — is what turns first-time visitors into regulars and makes Vincenzo one of the most trusted Italian restaurants on International Drive.
My daughter is gluten-free and they accommodated her without missing a beat. The salmon was incredible. This is how restaurants should treat dietary needs.

My kids begged to come back the next night. The pizza was perfect for them and I got to enjoy the best Negroni I have had outside of Italy.

Scallop risotto with truffle. NY strip with herb butter. Linguine with clams. Guest favorites, every one.
Beyond the kitchen, Vincenzo's bar program has become a destination in its own right. The bartenders craft classic Negronis, Aperol Spritzes, and Espresso Martinis with care, and the wine list features both Italian and California selections that complement the menu beautifully.

The boneless short rib was braised to perfection. Tender, rich, with a cognac cream sauce that I wanted to drink with a straw. Outstanding meal.
