“Hands down the best Italian spot in Orlando. The service was impeccable, the food was absolutely incredible. The lobster ravioli was out of this world.”
Jennifer, Orlando • OpenTable
The Menu
Housemade pasta, steaks, seafood, chicken parmigiana, lasagna, cocktails, wine, desserts, and a kids menu — all served in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Hilton Grand Vacations Orlando 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.
Made Fresh Every Evening
Handmade pasta, risotto stirred to order, and sauces simmered for hours. That is the Vincenzo standard.
Vincenzo was built by a family that wanted to create the kind of Italian restaurant they grew up loving. The Navarra Group, with more than three decades in hospitality, opened on International Drive in 2014 and has earned the trust of over 4,000 reviewers across Google, OpenTable, and TripAdvisor.
The philosophy is uncomplicated: source the best ingredients, prepare everything from scratch, hire people who care, and treat every guest the way you would treat someone at your own table. That approach has made Vincenzo a destination for locals and tourists alike.
Private events in the Amalfi Room accommodate 15 to 50 guests. Full restaurant buyouts seat up to 150. More than 1,500 events — rehearsal dinners, birthdays, corporate gatherings, family reunions — have been hosted with custom Italian menus and dedicated coordination.
The Navarra family is present, involved, and invested. That is the difference between a restaurant and someone's life work.
We ordered the cheese board to start, then split the lobster ravioli and chicken piccata. Every single bite was perfect. The staff made us feel like regulars.

Black Angus from Creekstone Farms
Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Vincenzo sits at ICON Park on International Drive, about Short Drive from Hilton Grand Vacations Orlando. The drive is straightforward — no highway merges, no confusing exits — just a quick trip along one of Orlando's most familiar roads.
Complimentary valet parking is available every evening. Pull up to the entrance, hand the keys to the valet, and walk straight to your table. No garages. No meters. No circling.
International Drive is more than just hotels and attractions. It is a dining corridor with dozens of options, and Vincenzo has established itself as the top independent Italian restaurant in the area through quality, consistency, and genuine hospitality.
The restaurant is also conveniently located near SeaWorld, Universal, the Convention Center, and the I-Drive entertainment district. Whether you are coming from Hilton Grand Vacations Orlando or anywhere else in the area, the drive is easy and the valet makes arriving effortless.
We live in Orlando and this is our go-to for date night. The bar scene is great early, then the dining room fills up with happy families. Love the energy.

Dishes Worth Dressing Up For
Lobster ravioli. Filet mignon with truffle butter. Pan-seared sea bass. All prepared to order.
The full bar at Vincenzo goes well beyond wine and beer. Guests can enjoy handcrafted cocktails like the Espresso Martini, classic Negronis, Aperol Spritzes, and a curated list of Italian and California wines by the glass or bottle.
Happy hour runs Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM, with $4 bottled beers, $7 wines by the glass, $10 cocktails, and select small bites. On Wednesdays, Wine Down Wednesday drops all wines by the glass to half price for the entire evening.
For groups, Vincenzo offers the Amalfi Room for private events of 15 to 50 guests, semi-private dining arrangements, and full restaurant buyouts for parties of 150 or more. Custom Italian menus, AV equipment, and dedicated event coordinators make planning simple.
Whether it is drinks after a long day, a quiet dinner with the family, or a planned celebration for a group, Vincenzo handles it all with the kind of ease you would expect from a restaurant that has hosted over 1,500 private events.
Our server recommended the short rib pappardelle and it was the single best pasta dish I have ever eaten. We are already planning our next visit.

Italian the Way Nonna Made It
Lasagna layered with bolognese and bechamel. Meatballs in San Marzano sauce. The classics, done properly.
