“Came for Wine Down Wednesday. Half off glasses of Italian wine all night. Had three different varietals with dinner. The sommelier knew her stuff.”

The Menu
Housemade pasta, steaks, seafood, chicken parmigiana, lasagna, cocktails, wine, desserts, and a kids menu — all served in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Rosen Plaza connects to the Convention Center and offers a more intimate scale than the larger Rosen properties — and its guests tend to seek dining experiences that match that sensibility. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana at ICON Park serves scratch-made Italian food with the personal touch that boutique-minded convention travelers appreciate.
Open the evening with the house-cured salmon gravlax with dill mustard sauce, the grilled polenta with wild mushroom ragu, or the imported buffalo mozzarella with heirloom tomatoes and aged balsamic. Main courses feature the handmade garganelli with pancetta and peas in a light cream sauce, the Cornish hen roasted with herbs and lemon over roasted root vegetables, and the shrimp Scampi over linguine in garlic butter and white wine.
Steaks come from Creekstone Farms — USDA Prime Black Angus, hand-selected and grilled to order. The filet is paired with truffle butter and broccolini. The fourteen-ounce NY strip delivers a robust sear with herb butter. The bone-in ribeye at twenty ounces anchors the steak menu.
Every component is made in Vincenzo's kitchen: the pasta, the bread, the stocks, the dressings, the desserts. In a convention corridor built on volume, Vincenzo is built on craft.
Made Fresh Every Evening
Handmade pasta, risotto stirred to order, and sauces simmered for hours. That is the Vincenzo standard.
The Navarra Group opened Vincenzo on International Drive in 2014 and has spent a decade building it into one of Orlando's most reviewed Italian restaurants. Over thirty years of hospitality experience guide the operation — from sourcing to cooking to serving.
With 4,000+ reviews across Google, OpenTable, and TripAdvisor, the consistency is documented. Rosen Plaza guests — many of whom are repeat convention visitors — rely on Vincenzo as their go-to dinner reservation every time they are in Orlando.
Private dining in the Amalfi Room serves 15 to 50 with AV and custom menus. Full buyouts extend to 150. Over 1,500 events have been hosted — with the personal attention that distinguishes family restaurants from corporate operations.
Rosen Plaza offers a more intimate hotel experience. Vincenzo matches that intimacy with a dining experience that feels personal, handcrafted, and genuinely Italian.
I ordered the veal marsala and my wife had the fettuccine alfredo. Both were exceptional. The Limoncello cake was the perfect ending.

Black Angus from Creekstone Farms
Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
From Rosen Plaza, Vincenzo at ICON Park is approximately five to eight minutes north on International Drive. The route is direct — one road, no tolls, no highway transitions.
Complimentary valet parking operates every evening. Arrive at ICON Park, hand over the keys, and walk directly to the host stand. No convention center parking structures to navigate.
ICON Park is the central entertainment and dining destination of International Drive, with The Wheel, StarFlyer, restaurants, and shops surrounding it. Vincenzo is positioned at the heart of this complex.
Rosen Plaza guests find the drive to Vincenzo refreshingly short — shorter than navigating the Convention Center's own dining options, and far more satisfying.
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.

Dishes Worth Dressing Up For
Lobster ravioli. Filet mignon with truffle butter. Pan-seared sea bass. All prepared to order.
Vincenzo's bar is where convention evenings find their rhythm. Start with an Aperol Spritz at the bar. Move to a Negroni as the appetizers arrive. End with an Espresso Martini alongside house-made tiramisu. The wine program features Italian and California selections at thoughtful price points.
Happy hour: Monday all night, Tuesday through Friday 5 to 7 PM — $4 bottled beers, $7 wines, $10 cocktails. Wine Down Wednesday offers half-price wines by the glass all evening.
Private events in the Amalfi Room seat 15 to 50 with AV and tailored Italian menus. Full buyouts accommodate up to 150 with complimentary valet and dedicated coordination.
Having hosted over 1,500 events, the Vincenzo team manages convention dinners with precision — respecting tight schedules, varied dietary needs, and the social dynamics of business groups.
Ordered the carpaccio to start and it was beautifully done. Then the NY strip, which was cooked exactly to temperature. Professional kitchen, personal atmosphere.
