Visitors staying at SpringHill Suites Convention Center can enjoy dinner at Vincenzo Cucina Italiana, located 1.1 miles from the hotel on International Drive. The restaurant sits at ICON Park, directly across from the Orlando StarFlyer and close to The Wheel. Family-owned since 2014, Vincenzo gives hotel guests an opportunity to enjoy locally prepared Italian food outside the usual chain restaurant setting. Its comfortable atmosphere works equally well for vacationing families and convention attendees.
Dinner choices include homemade pasta, fresh seafood, USDA Prime steaks, and classic Italian dishes prepared by the restaurant's scratch kitchen. Guests looking for something familiar can order chicken parmigiana or lasagna, while others may prefer lobster ravioli or a seafood specialty. A full bar serves cocktails, beer, and wine, and children ages 10 and under have a dedicated $13 menu that includes a beverage. Although the restaurant looks upscale, casual attire and shorts are always welcome.
Vincenzo is open nightly from 5–10 PM, making it convenient for SpringHill Suites guests returning from theme parks, business meetings, or the Orange County Convention Center. Complimentary valet parking makes driving over straightforward without the worry of finding parking near ICON Park. Travelers arriving during weekday Happy Hour can enjoy specials on drinks and select appetizers before dinner. Groups staying at the hotel can also arrange private dining in the Amalfi Room for gatherings of 15–50 people.
Freshness You Can Taste
Our kitchen preps everything daily — pasta, sauces, bread. Nothing comes from a can or a freezer.
Since 2014, the Navarra Group has operated Vincenzo with the conviction that International Drive deserves a serious Italian restaurant. More than thirty years of hospitality experience shaped every aspect of the operation, from hiring to menu development to the nightly greeting at the front door.
The proof lives in 4,000+ reviews across Google, OpenTable, and TripAdvisor. Guests praise the food, the ambiance, and above all, the service — which feels attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without being scripted.
The Amalfi Room offers private dining for 15 to 50 guests with AV equipment and tailored Italian menus. Full restaurant buyouts accommodate up to 150. A dedicated events coordinator manages logistics so the host simply shows up and enjoys.
In a dining landscape dominated by corporate groups, Vincenzo stands out by being exactly what it claims: a real family restaurant that cooks real food.
Came for Wine Down Wednesday. Half off glasses of Italian wine all night. Had three different varietals with dinner. The sommelier knew her stuff.

Came here after reading the reviews and they were all accurate. The chicken marsala was tender, the mushroom sauce was incredible. Very happy we found this place.

The Menu Favorites
Scallop risotto with truffle. NY strip with herb butter. Linguine with clams. Guest favorites, every one.
The bar at Vincenzo serves handcrafted cocktails alongside a thoughtful wine program. Popular pours include the classic Negroni built with quality gin and Campari, the Espresso Martini shaken with house-pulled espresso, and the Aperol Spritz served with the right balance of prosecco.
Happy hour runs Monday all night, Tuesday through Friday 5 to 7 PM — bottled beers at $4, wines at $7, cocktails at $10. Wine Down Wednesday drops every glass pour to half price from open to close.
Private events happen in the Amalfi Room, which seats 15 to 50 with full AV and custom menu planning. Full buyouts scale up to 150 guests. Complimentary valet, dedicated coordination, and tailored Italian menus come standard.
Having hosted over 1,500 events, Vincenzo's team manages group dining with the kind of expertise that only comes from years of practice.
The grouper special was outstanding. Fresh Florida fish, beautiful presentation, and the crab risotto underneath was creamy perfection. A must-visit on I-Drive.

The Italian Classics Done Right
Meatballs polenta. Lasagna bolognese. Fettuccine alfredo. Like dinner at your Italian grandma's house.
Convention Center guests from SpringHill Suites who find Vincenzo discover a dining experience that outshines every chain on the corridor. Handmade pasta, Prime steaks, a full cocktail bar, and a family that pours thirty years of expertise into every evening.
Kids eat well at $13 with a beverage included. Adults enjoy the full Italian menu and bar without any dress code. Come in conference attire, park clothes, or anything in between — everyone is welcome.
Vincenzo is the restaurant that convention travelers recommend to each other. Not the flashiest. Not the most advertised. Just the best Italian food on International Drive, served by people who care.
