Keep reading to learn more about Vincenzo
Your hotel is on I-Drive. So is Vincenzo — the family-owned Italian restaurant at ICON Park that La Quinta International Drive guests are discovering and coming back to. The kitchen here is a scratch operation: fresh pasta, house-made sauces, Prime steaks cut daily, and seafood cooked to order.
Start with the cheese board (imported Italian cheeses, salami, olives, fig jam) or the bruschetta classica with tomatoes, garlic, and parmigiano. Then try the tortellini with filet tips and prosciutto in roasted garlic cream, or the veal parmigiana with spaghetti marinara.
The NY strip is 14 ounces of tender, herb-crusted Creekstone Farms beef. The scallop risotto is rich, truffled, and studded with jumbo sea scallops and porcini mushrooms. The chicken piccata with capers and lemon butter is bright and satisfying.
This is the Italian restaurant that I-Drive needed — no gimmicks, no tourist pricing, just food made the right way by people who love what they do.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
The Navarra Group opened Vincenzo on International Drive in 2014, bringing over three decades of hospitality experience to one of Orlando's busiest corridors. What started as a neighborhood Italian spot has grown into a restaurant with 4,000+ reviews and a reputation that reaches well beyond the tourist strip.
The difference is in the details: bread baked fresh, sauces simmered for hours, risotto stirred to order, and a team that knows regulars by name. This is not a restaurant that relies on foot traffic. It earns its guests through quality.
The Amalfi Room handles private events for 15 to 50 guests, from rehearsal dinners to corporate receptions. Full restaurant buyouts accommodate up to 150. Custom Italian menus, AV support, and dedicated coordinators simplify the planning.
In a city dominated by corporate dining groups, Vincenzo proves that family-owned restaurants still do it best.
I do not write reviews often but this place deserves it. The pappardelle ragu had depth and richness that you only get from hours of slow cooking. Bravo.

La Quinta International Drive to Vincenzo is about Short Drive on International Drive. The restaurant is at ICON Park — 8255 International Dr, Orlando, FL 32819 — and complimentary valet parking eliminates any parking concerns.
The I-Drive corridor has hundreds of dining options, but most are chains or tourist-oriented restaurants with inflated prices. Vincenzo stands apart because it is family-owned, makes everything from scratch, and has earned over 4,000 genuine reviews from guests who choose to come back.
For guests using rideshare, the pickup and dropoff at ICON Park is clean and easy. For drivers, the valet is included with your dinner — a detail that La Quinta International Drive guests consistently mention as a pleasant surprise.
After dinner, ICON Park offers shopping, attractions, and entertainment for guests who want to extend the evening. Or head back to your hotel with the satisfaction of having found the best Italian dinner in the area.
My kids begged to come back the next night. The pizza was perfect for them and I got to enjoy the best Negroni I have had outside of Italy.

The Dishes People Come Back For
Chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. Fettuccine alfredo with jumbo shrimp. Made fresh, every night.
Vincenzo's full bar is stocked for more than just wine with dinner. The Espresso Martini is a guest favorite, and the Aperol Spritz delivers a refreshing Italian aperitif that pairs perfectly with bruschetta or a cheese board.
Happy hour runs Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM. Prices drop to $4 for bottled beer, $7 for wine by the glass, and $10 for cocktails. On Wine Down Wednesdays, every glass of wine is half off all night.
Bring the group after your day out. Pull a few tables together, order appetizers family-style, and let the bartender mix a round of Negronis. That is how Vincenzo nights are meant to go.
For larger gatherings, ask about semi-private dining or the Amalfi Room. Custom menus and group accommodations are available for everything from birthday dinners to post-conference celebrations.
Came here after reading the reviews and they were all accurate. The chicken marsala was tender, the mushroom sauce was incredible. Very happy we found this place.

Made the Way It Should Be
Homemade lasagna. Meatballs with San Marzano sauce. The Italian food you remember, done right.
The reason La Quinta International Drive guests keep choosing Vincenzo is simple: the food is excellent, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the experience feels personal. In a corridor full of corporate-owned restaurants, that combination is rare.
Come in shorts and flip-flops after the parks. Come in cocktail attire for date night. Come with kids. Come with clients. Come alone and sit at the bar. Vincenzo accommodates all of it without making anyone feel out of place.
A decade of service, 4,000+ reviews, and a family that still cares about every plate — that is what makes Vincenzo different, and that is why guests come back.
