Dinner Near SEA LIFE Aquarium Orlando

From the Aquarium to the Best Seafood on I-Drive

SEA LIFE Aquarium at ICON Park is one of Orlando's most popular family attractions. You spend an hour or two walking through underwater tunnels, watching jellyfish drift, and letting the kids press their faces against the glass to see sharks and sea turtles up close. When you walk out, everyone is hungry and still thinking about the ocean. That is exactly when you should head to Vincenzo Cucina Italiana for dinner.

Vincenzo is located at Vue at 360 on International Drive, steps from ICON Park where SEA LIFE Aquarium sits. The connection between the aquarium and our kitchen is a natural one. You just watched incredible marine life, and now you can enjoy some of the freshest seafood in Orlando. Whole Mediterranean branzino, lobster tail, crispy calamari, and shrimp scampi are all on our menu, prepared with traditional Italian techniques perfected over 33 years.
