“We came straight from the parks with three kids still in park clothes. They didn’t bat an eye. The pasta was incredible and valet made it so easy. Best dinner of our trip.”

When you leave Disney's Hollywood Studios, Vincenzo Cucina Italiana can be an off-property dinner destination. The restaurant is approximately 12 miles, or 20 minutes, from the park at ICON Park on International Drive. It is worth considering when you are ready to exit the Disney area rather than dine in a park restaurant. The change of location can make dinner feel separate from a busy day of rides and shows.
Vincenzo serves scratch-made Italian food such as chicken Marsala, fettuccine Alfredo, and scallop risotto. Families have a $13 kids menu with a drink for children 10 and under. You can arrive in shorts and comfortable walking clothes because there is no formal dress requirement. The stylish dining room offers a relaxed place to sit after a day spent moving around the park.
Doors open for dinner daily at 5 PM and service continues until 10 PM. Free valet parking is provided, so you do not need to navigate another large attraction parking area. Owned by the Navarra Group since 2014, Vincenzo is locally operated and has more than 4,000 online reviews. Plan it as an evening drive from Hollywood Studios, particularly if International Drive is already on your itinerary.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
Vincenzo is owned and operated by the Navarra Group, a family with over 33 years of hospitality experience. Since 2014, Vincenzo has served guests from around the world who come to International Drive for the parks, the convention center, and the restaurants.
What makes dinner here different is the care behind it. No dress code. No attitude. Shorts and sneakers are completely welcome. Kids are welcome. It is casual Italian dining that feels personal and relaxed from the moment you sit down.
Whether you are celebrating something special or just want a great meal after a long park day, Vincenzo gives every guest the same experience: excellent food, warm service, and a restaurant that feels genuinely local in the middle of a tourist corridor.
Best dinner we had all week. The lobster ravioli was incredible and everyone at our table was blown away. We came after Hollywood Studios and it was the perfect ending to the trip.

Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Vincenzo is at 8255 International Drive, Suite 112, at ICON Park in Orlando. From Disney's Hollywood Studios, take I-4 East toward International Drive — the drive is about 11.7 miles (20 minutes), and complimentary valet is waiting when you arrive.
No parking headaches, no shuttle lines. Pull up, hand the keys over, and walk straight in to dinner. The transition from theme park to relaxed Italian dinner is that simple.
Vincenzo is casual enough for vacation clothes, families, and kids, but polished enough for a nice dinner out, a date night, or a private event. The dining room is warm and inviting, the bar is fully stocked, and the food is the real reason people drive over from the parks night after night.
Came after a long day at the parks. The valet took the car, the food was fantastic, and the kids loved it. Best decision we made on the whole trip.

The Dishes People Come Back For
Chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. Fettuccine alfredo with jumbo shrimp. Made fresh, every night.
Vincenzo is the full dinner experience. Full bar, handcrafted cocktails, Italian and California wines, beer, Negronis, Aperol Spritzes, Espresso Martinis, and more — all available every night from 5 PM.
Happy Hour runs Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM, with $4 bottled beers, $7 wines by the glass, and $10 cocktails. Wednesday brings Wine Down Wednesday with half-off wines all night. It is a great way to start the evening before dinner.
Private dining is available for groups of all sizes. The Amalfi Room seats 15 to 50 guests, semi-private dining covers 15 to 28, outdoor seating handles 14 to 20, and full restaurant buyouts accommodate up to 150. Custom menus, AV options, and complimentary valet make every event easy to plan.
Whether it is happy hour drinks, a family dinner after the parks, or a group event, Vincenzo handles it all with the same warm, personal service that has kept guests coming back since 2014.
Not a chain. Not overpriced tourist food. Real Italian with a real bar and people who actually care. The tiramisu was the best I've had outside of Italy.

Made the Way It Should Be
Homemade lasagna. Meatballs with San Marzano sauce. The Italian food you remember, done right.
The parks have plenty of dining options. What they do not have is a family-owned Italian kitchen that makes everything from scratch, pours real cocktails, and sends guests home feeling like they had a genuine meal — not a theme park experience.
Vincenzo is that restaurant. No dress code. No fuss. Vacation clothes work fine here. So do date nights, business dinners, birthday celebrations, and last-minute family dinners. Everyone is welcome.
That is why guests who come to Orlando once a year put Vincenzo on the list. It is dinner worth driving to — and 11.7 miles from Hollywood Studios is not much of a drive at all.
