“We do an annual Orlando trip and Vincenzo is now our first-night tradition. The lasagna is comfort food at its finest. No one does it better on I-Drive.”
Brian M., Raleigh • OpenTable

Quality Inn puts you right on International Drive, and that means Vincenzo is just minutes away. This family-owned Italian restaurant at ICON Park has been cooking everything from scratch since 2014 — handmade pasta, slow-simmered sauces, USDA Prime steaks from Creekstone Farms, and seafood that arrives fresh daily.
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.
A Scratch Kitchen on I-Drive
Every dish at Vincenzo is cooked to order. Fresh pasta, Prime steaks, seafood — no shortcuts.
When the Navarra family opened Vincenzo in 2014, they had a simple goal: build a restaurant they would want to eat at. Over 4,000 reviews later, that goal has become Orlando's gain.
The family brings over thirty years of hospitality experience to every evening service. The kitchen is staffed by cooks who know the recipes by heart, and the dining room is managed by a team that makes every guest — from convention-goers in business casual to families in flip-flops — feel equally valued.
Private dining in the Amalfi Room accommodates 15 to 50 guests. Full buyouts handle up to 150. The family has coordinated more than 1,500 events with custom menus, AV equipment, and personal attention that event planners appreciate.
Vincenzo is not part of a restaurant group. It is not a franchise. It is a single restaurant owned by one family who chose International Drive as their home and have invested everything in making it the best Italian restaurant in the corridor.
The Amalfi Room was perfect for our corporate dinner. 30 guests, custom menu, AV setup, and the food was the star of the evening. Every attendee raved about it.

Black Angus from Creekstone Farms
Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Quality Inn 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.
International Drive is packed with restaurants, but most are built for volume — chains turning tables with microwaved entrees and frozen appetizers. Vincenzo operates differently. The Navarra family runs a single restaurant where pasta is rolled by hand, risotto is stirred to order, and steaks are cut from whole primals in-house.
Getting there from Quality Inn is simple — a short drive north on I-Drive to ICON Park. Complimentary valet parking means you pull up, hand off the keys, and walk straight in. No parking garages, no circling the lot.
The ICON Park area comes alive in the evening with entertainment, shopping, and the Orlando Eye. Vincenzo fits naturally into a full night out, or it can be the entire event — dinner, drinks, dessert, and valet back to your car whenever you are ready.
Romantic atmosphere without being stuffy. Great wine list. The sea bass was cooked perfectly. This is our new go-to Italian spot.

Dishes That Earn the Reviews
Chicken parm. Gnocchi. Lobster ravioli. These are the dishes that generate 4,000+ reviews.
At Vincenzo, the bar is not an afterthought — it is a reason to arrive early. Classic Negronis, refreshing Aperol Spritzes, and rich Espresso Martinis are crafted by bartenders who know their way around Italian spirits. The wine list spans Italian regions and California appellations.
Happy hour pricing runs Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM: $4 bottled beers, $7 wines by the glass, $10 cocktails. On Wine Down Wednesdays, all wines by the glass are half off for the entire evening — a deal that draws wine lovers from across the I-Drive corridor.
For groups and events, the Amalfi Room provides private dining for 15 to 50 guests. Full restaurant buyouts are available for parties up to 150. Custom Italian menus and AV support are included, and the Vincenzo events team has coordinated over 1,500 gatherings.
From a solo cocktail at the bar to a 100-person corporate dinner, Vincenzo scales gracefully without sacrificing quality or warmth.
Came for Wine Down Wednesday. Half off glasses of Italian wine all night. Had three different varietals with dinner. The sommelier knew her stuff.
