You Deserve a Night Out
Homewood Suites on International Drive is built for extended stays. The kitchenette is great for reheating leftovers and making morning coffee. But after a few nights of takeout containers and microwave meals, you deserve a proper dinner. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is located on International Drive, convenient to Homewood Suites properties, and it is the kind of restaurant that reminds you why going out to eat matters.
Open 7 days a week from 5 PM to 10 PM, with complimentary valet parking every evening.
Real Italian, Not Room Service
Extended-stay guests know the routine: grocery runs, hotel breakfast, maybe delivery. That works for a Tuesday. But when a milestone arrives, when a work trip ends, or when you simply need a break from the suite, Vincenzo is the answer. Handmade pasta made fresh daily. USDA Prime steaks cut in-house. A wine list that goes deep into Italian regions. Craft cocktails mixed to order. This is food worth sitting down for.

Happy Hour Worth Leaving the Suite For
Vincenzo's happy hour is one of the best values on International Drive. Monday happy hour runs all night. Tuesday through Friday, happy hour is from 5 to 7 PM. Wine Down Wednesday offers discounted wines by the glass, perfect for winding down a long work week. Martini Tuesday features cocktail specials. Whether you are in town for business or pleasure, it is a great reason to put on real shoes and head out.
Celebrate Something While You Are in Town
Extended stays often overlap with birthdays, work milestones, or just the relief of wrapping up a project. Vincenzo offers private dining for groups, intimate celebrations, and full restaurant buyout for larger events. Let us handle the details while you enjoy the evening.
On International Drive, in the Heart of Orlando
Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is located on International Drive, convenient to Homewood Suites properties and dozens of other hotels in the I-Drive corridor. The restaurant sits near ICON Park, SeaWorld, and the Orange County Convention Center. It is easy to find, easy to get to, and the complimentary valet makes parking effortless.
A Menu Built for Real Appetites
Extended-stay guests are not looking for small plates and tasting menus. They want handmade food in real portions. Vincenzo delivers. The lasagna is layered and rich. The bone-in ribeye is massive. The lobster ravioli is filled with actual lobster. The bruschetta, burrata, and calamari are all made in-house. And the house-made tiramisu is the kind of dessert you think about for days afterward.
Whether you are dining solo at the bar or bringing the whole team for a group dinner, the menu has something for everyone.
Come Back as Often as You Like
One of the advantages of an extended stay is getting to discover a restaurant and return to it. Many long-term guests visit Vincenzo multiple times during their stay, trying different dishes and building a relationship with the staff. By your second or third visit, the bartender knows your drink and the host knows your name. That is the kind of hospitality that keeps people coming back.
Reservations and Walk-Ins
Reservations are available through OpenTable or by calling (407) 745-4030. Walk-ins are welcome, though reservations are recommended during peak season. Whether you plan ahead or decide on a whim after a long day, Vincenzo is ready for you.
Not Just Another Chain on the Strip
International Drive is lined with chain restaurants. Vincenzo is independently owned, family-operated, and has been serving Orlando for years. Every pasta is handmade in-house. Every steak is hand-cut. Every dessert is made from scratch. That level of care shows up in the 4,000+ guest reviews and 4.7-star rating that Vincenzo has earned one dinner at a time.
When you are ready to trade the kitchenette for a proper dining experience, this is where to go.
Wine, Cocktails, and a Real Bar
The suite has a mini fridge. Vincenzo has a full bar. The Italian wine list spans regions from Tuscany to Sicily, with selections available by the glass and bottle. The cocktail program features seasonal creations alongside classic Italian cocktails. Whether you want an Aperol Spritz to start the evening or a bold Amarone with your steak, the bar team delivers.
Open Seven Nights a Week
There is no need to check if the restaurant is open. Vincenzo serves dinner seven days a week, 5 PM to 10 PM, all year long. Whether it is a Monday night wind-down or a Saturday celebration, the kitchen is ready and the valet is waiting.
