The Perfect Dinner After the Orlando Slingshot
The Orlando Slingshot at ICON Park is one of the most extreme thrill rides in Florida. You get launched nearly 300 feet into the air at incredible speed, and when your feet finally touch solid ground again, you deserve more than a food court slice. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is located at Vue at 360 — right next to ICON Park — making it the closest upscale Italian restaurant to the Slingshot.
Whether you rode the Slingshot, the Orlando FreeFall, or spent the evening exploring ICON Park's attractions, Vincenzo is the ideal place to sit down, relax, and enjoy a real meal. No reservations required for walk-ins, though we recommend booking ahead on weekends.
Steps from ICON Park — Not a Drive Away
Most restaurants that advertise as "near ICON Park" are still a car ride away. Vincenzo is genuinely right there. Vue at 360 sits adjacent to the ICON Park complex on International Drive, so you can walk from the Slingshot to our front door in minutes. No Uber, no parking hassle, no waiting.
After the adrenaline rush, settle into our intimate dining room and let our team take care of the rest. Start with a craft cocktail or a glass of Italian wine while you catch your breath.
What to Order After a Thrill Ride
- ✭ Handmade pappardelle with braised short rib — hearty and satisfying
- ✭ USDA Prime Bone-In Ribeye — for the appetite you built up
- ✭ Fresh calamari — crispy, light, and perfect for sharing
- ✭ Craft cocktails — the Espresso Martini is a guest favorite
- ✭ Homemade tiramisu — the only way to end the night
Why Vincenzo Instead of ICON Park Chains
ICON Park has its share of casual dining, but if you want a real dinner — handmade pasta, USDA Prime steaks cut in-house, seafood that arrived fresh today — you walk next door to Vincenzo. We have been voted Orlando's best Italian restaurant every year since 2014, earned the Diners Choice Award, Orlando Sentinel Best Italian three times, and a USA Today 10 Best recognition.
With 4,000+ reviews across OpenTable and Google, our reputation speaks for itself. OpenTable guests rate us 4.7 stars. Google reviewers give us 4.4 stars. This is not a tourist trap. This is where locals bring their families on special nights.
