“We found what might be the best Italian restaurant in Orlando. The lobster bisque to start, then the lobster ravioli — both were flawless.”

Tru by Hilton Orlando guests searching for dinner have two choices: the hotel restaurant or the real thing. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is 2.6 miles north on International Drive at ICON Park, and it is the kind of restaurant that changes what you expect from an Orlando dinner.
The kitchen is a scratch kitchen. Every pasta is made in-house — lobster ravioli with Maine lobster in a creamy lobster sauce, house-made potato gnocchi with pomodoro and burrata, short rib pappardelle with wild mushrooms and Marsala truffle cream. The menu is not a list of options. It is a reason to come back.
USDA Prime steaks are cut from Creekstone Farms Black Angus — filet mignon with truffle butter, 14-ounce NY strip, 20-ounce bone-in ribeye. Chilean sea bass with prosecco butter. Florida black grouper with crab risotto. This is not hotel food. This is a real restaurant.
Dessert is made in-house too. The tiramisu, limoncello cake, and Nutella cheesecake are not afterthoughts — they are reasons people tell their friends about this place.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
Vincenzo is locally owned and operated by the Navarra Group, a family with over 33 years of hospitality experience. Since opening on International Drive in 2014, Vincenzo has served locals, visitors, families, convention guests, and travelers from around the world.
Over 4,000 reviews across Google, OpenTable, Yelp, and TripAdvisor. Not because of marketing — because the food is real, the service is warm, and people remember the meal.
No dress code. No attitude. Kids are welcome. Vacation clothes are welcome. Business dinners happen here every week. Date nights, birthdays, happy hour, private events — it all fits.
That is what separates Vincenzo from the chains on I-Drive. It is not a franchise. It is a family restaurant with history, pride, and people behind it.
The server knew every wine on the list and recommended a Chianti Classico that paired perfectly with our ossobuco. This is hospitality done right.

Black Angus from Creekstone Farms
Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Vincenzo is located at ICON Park on International Drive — 8255 International Dr, Orlando, FL 32819. From Tru by Hilton Orlando, it is 2.6 miles / 7-minute drive north on I-Drive. One road, no tolls, no highway.
Complimentary valet parking is available every evening. Pull up, hand over the keys, and walk in. After dinner, ICON Park is right outside — the Orlando Eye, SEA LIFE Aquarium, Madame Tussauds, bars, and shops.
The restaurant opens at 5 PM and serves until 10 PM, seven days a week. Early arrivals catch happy hour. Later arrivals get an unhurried dinner experience.
For park visitors and value travelers looking for a real restaurant near SeaWorld, Aquatica, and the Convention Center, Vincenzo is the easiest, best choice on International Drive.
Monday all-night happy hour changed our Orlando trips. $10 Espresso Martini, the carpaccio, and the penne vodka salmon.

The Dishes People Come Back For
Chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. Fettuccine alfredo with jumbo shrimp. Made fresh, every night.
Vincenzo is more than dinner. The full bar features handcrafted cocktails, Italian and California wines, Negronis, Aperol Spritzes, Espresso Martinis, and seasonal specials.
Happy Hour runs Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday 5 to 7 PM — $4 bottled beers, $7 wines by the glass, $10 cocktails, and select small bites. Wine Down Wednesday brings half-off wines by the glass all evening.
For private events, the Amalfi Room seats 15 to 50 guests with custom Italian menus, AV options, and complimentary valet. Semi-private dining and full restaurant buyouts for up to 150 guests are also available.
Whether you are planning a convention dinner, a team outing, a birthday, or simply want a great meal near Tru by Hilton, Vincenzo handles it.
This place is a hidden gem on I-Drive. Not a chain, not overpriced tourist food. Real Italian with real heart. The tiramisu alone is worth the trip.

Made the Way It Should Be
Homemade lasagna. Meatballs with San Marzano sauce. The Italian food you remember, done right.
Ask the front desk at Tru by Hilton. Ask an Uber driver. Ask anyone who has eaten here. Vincenzo is the recommendation that keeps coming up because guests come back satisfied and talk about it.
That organic word-of-mouth is earned nightly. The lobster ravioli, the filet, the gnocchi, the tiramisu — these are the dishes that turn first-time visitors into regulars.
Reserve on OpenTable or call (407) 745-4030. Walk-ins welcome. Open tonight, 5 to 10 PM.
