“We were staying down the road and walked in without a reservation on a Saturday night. They seated us in 15 minutes. Food was incredible. Highly recommend.”

Marriott Grande Vista guests have full kitchens in their villas, but after a few nights of cooking on vacation, the appeal wears thin. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana on International Drive gives you a night off — with handmade pasta, Prime steaks, and a full bar that makes the evening feel like a celebration.
The menu covers every craving: start with the cheese board or the burrata appetizer, then move into the chicken parmigiana, the lobster ravioli, or the bone-in ribeye. The gnocchi — made from potatoes in the kitchen — comes in pomodoro with burrata and basil oil and is one of the lightest, most satisfying pasta dishes on the menu.
Kids eat for $13 with a drink included: chicken tenders, cheese ravioli, spaghetti with meatballs, pizza, or filet tips. The restaurant is casual enough for vacation mode — no dress code, shorts welcome — but polished enough that it feels like a proper night out.
This is the cook-free night your Orlando vacation needed.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
Vincenzo was built by a family that wanted to create the kind of Italian restaurant they grew up loving. The Navarra Group, with more than three decades in hospitality, opened on International Drive in 2014 and has earned the trust of over 4,000 reviewers across Google, OpenTable, and TripAdvisor.
The philosophy is uncomplicated: source the best ingredients, prepare everything from scratch, hire people who care, and treat every guest the way you would treat someone at your own table. That approach has made Vincenzo a destination for locals and tourists alike.
Private events in the Amalfi Room accommodate 15 to 50 guests. Full restaurant buyouts seat up to 150. More than 1,500 events — rehearsal dinners, birthdays, corporate gatherings, family reunions — have been hosted with custom Italian menus and dedicated coordination.
The Navarra family is present, involved, and invested. That is the difference between a restaurant and someone's life work.
The penne vodka with salmon was a dish I never would have ordered but our server recommended it. Best suggestion I have taken in years. Creamy, smoky, amazing.

Black Angus from Creekstone Farms
Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Vincenzo sits at ICON Park on International Drive, about 10 Min from Marriott Grande Vista. The drive is straightforward — no highway merges, no confusing exits — just a quick trip along one of Orlando's most familiar roads.
Complimentary valet parking is available every evening. Pull up to the entrance, hand the keys to the valet, and walk straight to your table. No garages. No meters. No circling.
International Drive is more than just hotels and attractions. It is a dining corridor with dozens of options, and Vincenzo has established itself as the top independent Italian restaurant in the area through quality, consistency, and genuine hospitality.
The restaurant is also conveniently located near SeaWorld, Universal, the Convention Center, and the I-Drive entertainment district. Whether you are coming from Marriott Grande Vista or anywhere else in the area, the drive is easy and the valet makes arriving effortless.
My gluten-free options were treated with care and tasted amazing. The staff asked about allergies proactively. That level of attention is uncommon and appreciated.

The Dishes People Come Back For
Chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. Fettuccine alfredo with jumbo shrimp. Made fresh, every night.
The full bar at Vincenzo goes well beyond wine and beer. Guests can enjoy handcrafted cocktails like the Espresso Martini, classic Negronis, Aperol Spritzes, and a curated list of Italian and California wines by the glass or bottle.
Happy hour runs Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM, with $4 bottled beers, $7 wines by the glass, $10 cocktails, and select small bites. On Wednesdays, Wine Down Wednesday drops all wines by the glass to half price for the entire evening.
For groups, Vincenzo offers the Amalfi Room for private events of 15 to 50 guests, semi-private dining arrangements, and full restaurant buyouts for parties of 150 or more. Custom Italian menus, AV equipment, and dedicated event coordinators make planning simple.
Whether it is drinks after a long day, a quiet dinner with the family, or a planned celebration for a group, Vincenzo handles it all with the kind of ease you would expect from a restaurant that has hosted over 1,500 private events.
Brought a group of twelve for my wife’s birthday and they handled everything perfectly. The Amalfi Room was gorgeous. Food was outstanding.

Homemade lasagna. Meatballs with San Marzano sauce. The Italian food you remember, done right.
