Sonesta Suites on International Drive puts families in a spacious home base, but the suite kitchenette is no match for a proper restaurant kitchen. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana at ICON Park delivers Italian food the way it should taste — handmade, cooked to order, and served with care every evening from 5 to 10 PM.
Open with the stuffed artichoke hearts with herbed breadcrumbs and lemon, the prosciutto and fresh mozzarella wrap with basil and olive oil, or the sauteed calamari with cherry peppers and garlic. Mains include the rigatoni alla Norma with eggplant and ricotta salata, the grilled lamb chops with mint pesto and roasted potatoes, and the shrimp fra diavolo over linguine in a spicy tomato sauce.
The steak selection is exclusively Creekstone Farms USDA Prime Black Angus. The filet is paired with truffle butter and broccolini. The fourteen-ounce NY strip gets a garlic herb sear. The bone-in ribeye at twenty ounces is built for appetite, not decoration.
From the hand-shaped gnocchi to the slow-simmered ragu to the bread that bakes through service, every component at Vincenzo comes from the restaurant's own kitchen — no outside suppliers, no frozen shortcuts.
Where Every Plate Tells a Story
Hand-rolled gnocchi, slow-simmered sauces, steaks cut fresh daily. Real Italian cooking.
Since 2014, the Navarra Group has operated Vincenzo with a focus on genuine hospitality. Over thirty years of experience in the restaurant industry shaped a business that prioritizes guest comfort as much as food quality.
That balance shows in 4,000+ reviews across Google, OpenTable, and TripAdvisor. Families staying at Sonesta Suites particularly appreciate the relaxed atmosphere, the kids' menu starting at $13, and servers who handle strollers and high chairs without missing a beat.
Private events run through the Amalfi Room (15 to 50 guests) with AV and custom menus. Full buyouts accommodate up to 150. Over 1,500 events have been hosted with the same warmth that defines a regular dinner.
Vincenzo is the family restaurant that other I-Drive restaurants aspire to be — built on real cooking, personal service, and a family that is present every night.
The butternut squash ravioli with truffle cream sauce might be the best dish I have eaten this year. Rich without being heavy. Beautiful flavors.

My kids begged to come back the next night. The pizza was perfect for them and I got to enjoy the best Negroni I have had outside of Italy.
