“The grouper special was outstanding. Fresh Florida fish, beautiful presentation, and the crab risotto underneath was creamy perfection. A must-visit on I-Drive.”

International Drive is lined with restaurants, but most of them are chains or tourist traps. Mai Hana Hotel guests who find Vincenzo Cucina Italiana at ICON Park discover something different — a family-owned Italian restaurant where everything is made from scratch every night.
The pappardelle ragu features fresh pasta with slow-cooked Angus beef ragu and pomodoro sauce. The butternut squash ravioli with porcini, sage, and truffle cream is a seasonal favorite that stays on the menu year-round by popular demand. The Faroe Island salmon with honey glaze and sauteed brussels sprouts is a lighter option that never feels like a compromise.
For meat lovers, the bone-in ribeye is 20 ounces of herb-crusted perfection from Creekstone Farms. For seafood fans, the Florida black grouper with crab risotto and citrus beurre blanc is a plate worth photographing.
Vincenzo has been cooking this way since 2014, and 4,000+ reviews confirm that the approach works.
A Scratch Kitchen on I-Drive
Every dish at Vincenzo is cooked to order. Fresh pasta, Prime steaks, seafood — no shortcuts.
Family ownership is not just a tagline at Vincenzo — it defines how the restaurant operates. The Navarra Group has been in the hospitality business for over 30 years, and they opened Vincenzo on International Drive in 2014 with the belief that Orlando deserved a genuine Italian restaurant, not another tourist-area imitation.
That commitment shows in the kitchen (every dish cooked to order, every pasta handmade, every steak hand-cut from Prime Creekstone Farms beef), in the dining room (servers who learn names, hosts who accommodate last-minute walk-ins), and in the details (complimentary valet, kids menu at $13, gluten-free and vegetarian options available).
For private events, the Amalfi Room seats 15 to 50 guests with custom menus and AV support. Full restaurant buyouts accommodate up to 150 for large celebrations, corporate dinners, or milestone events.
With 4,000+ reviews and a decade of service, Vincenzo has become the Italian restaurant that Orlando trusts.
Happy hour on a Tuesday — $4 beers, $7 wines, great bruschetta. Then we stayed for dinner. The shrimp scampi was loaded with garlic and butter. Perfection.

The route from Mai Hana Hotel to Vincenzo is simple: International Drive to ICON Park. Most guests arrive in Short Drive by car or rideshare. The restaurant is at 8255 International Dr, Orlando, FL 32819.
Complimentary valet parking is available every evening. This is not a parking garage restaurant — pull up, step out, and walk in. The valet team handles the rest.
International Drive is Orlando's most visited dining and entertainment corridor, and Vincenzo is positioned at its center. The restaurant is convenient to Universal, SeaWorld, the Convention Center, ICON Park attractions, and dozens of major hotels.
What sets Vincenzo apart from the I-Drive crowd is the experience: the warm atmosphere, the handmade food, the family-owned feel, and the sense that you are dining at a restaurant that cares about getting it right — not just getting you in and out.
Third year in a row eating here during our Orlando trip. The menu keeps getting better. Added the short rib pappardelle this time. Incredible.

Hands down the best Italian spot in Orlando. The service was impeccable, the food was absolutely incredible. The lobster ravioli was out of this world.
