“Came for a convention dinner with colleagues. The tortellini with filet tips blew everyone away. Great spot for business dining without the corporate feel.”

The Hyatt Regency Orlando houses 1,641 rooms and feeds thousands daily through its own restaurants — but none of them offer what Vincenzo Cucina Italiana serves at ICON Park: genuine Italian food cooked from scratch by a family that has been perfecting the craft since 2014.
Start with the antipasto misto featuring imported salumi, marinated artichokes, roasted peppers, and aged provolone. Or try the zuppa di pesce — a seafood broth loaded with clams, mussels, shrimp, and calamari. Entrees range from the cacio e pepe made with hand-cut tonnarelli to the whole roasted branzino with Sicilian herbs to the veal piccata in a white wine and caper sauce.
The steak program is all Creekstone Farms USDA Prime Black Angus. The filet is finished with truffle butter. The fourteen-ounce NY strip comes with a garlic-herb sear. The bone-in ribeye at twenty ounces is designed for guests who treat dinner as the main event of the evening.
This is a restaurant where nothing is pre-made. The kitchen rolls pasta, bakes bread, simmers sauces, and plates desserts — all from raw ingredients, all on site, all day.
Freshness You Can Taste
Our kitchen preps everything daily — pasta, sauces, bread. Nothing comes from a can or a freezer.
The Navarra Group opened Vincenzo in 2014 with a vision that International Drive could support a restaurant built entirely on quality. Three decades of hospitality experience told them the bet was sound — and 4,000+ reviews have proven it conclusively.
Convention crowds from the Hyatt Regency have become some of Vincenzo's most loyal guests. They come because the food never disappoints, the service adapts to their schedules, and the atmosphere provides a genuine break from the convention grind.
Private dining in the Amalfi Room seats 15 to 50 with AV and custom menus. Full restaurant buyouts handle up to 150. Over 1,500 events — including hundreds of post-conference dinners — have been hosted.
A 1,641-room hotel generates enormous dining demand. Vincenzo absorbs its share gracefully because the Navarra family built the restaurant to handle volume without ever reducing quality.
The Wine Down Wednesday deal is unbeatable. Half off wines by the glass all night? We ordered three different bottles to try. All fantastic.

Black Angus from Creekstone Farms
Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
From the Hyatt Regency Orlando, Vincenzo at ICON Park is about five to eight minutes north along International Drive. The route is one straight road — no highways, no toll plazas, no complex navigation.
Complimentary valet runs every evening. Arrive at ICON Park, leave the car, and walk in. No convention center parking garages on the return trip.
ICON Park is the dining and entertainment hub of central International Drive, home to The Wheel, StarFlyer, and a mix of restaurants, shops, and attractions. Vincenzo sits at the core of this complex.
Hyatt Regency guests are often surprised at how close Vincenzo is — closer than the walk from the hotel lobby to the convention center, and far more rewarding.
Romantic atmosphere without being stuffy. Great wine list. The sea bass was cooked perfectly. This is our new go-to Italian spot.

Four adults, three kids, everyone happy. That never happens at restaurants. The kids menu is legit and the adults ate like kings. Excellent.
