Real Italian dinner on I-Drive, 15-20 minutes from Disney's Hollywood Studios. Handmade pasta, steaks, seafood. Complimentary valet.
After a full day at Hollywood Studios, the last thing you want is another theme park meal. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is the answer: a real Italian dinner, made from scratch, served with care, just 15-20 minutes away on International Drive.
The kitchen runs on fresh ingredients and classical Italian technique every single night. Handmade pasta, homemade gnocchi, slow-braised veal ossobuco, USDA Black Angus Prime steaks, fresh seafood, and homemade desserts — dinner here feels like a reward for the day you just had.
Families, couples, groups, and solo guests all find their place at Vincenzo. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the service is attentive, and the food is the kind that makes people want to come back the next time they are in Orlando.
This is not tourist food. This is dinner the way it should be: generous, flavorful, and worth every minute of the drive.
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 15-20 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 140. 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 15-20 minutes from Hollywood Studios is not much of a drive at all.
About 15-20 minutes via I-4 East to International Drive. Vincenzo is at 8255 International Drive, Suite 112, at ICON Park in Orlando.
Absolutely. No dress code, shorts and sneakers are welcome. Vincenzo is casual Italian — upscale vibes, casual comfort. Come as you are.
Yes. Kids 10 and under eat for $13 with a beverage included. Options include spaghetti and meatballs, chicken tenders, pizza, fettuccine alfredo, and more.
