About the Universal Orlando Dining Area

Universal Orlando Resort includes Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, Universal's Epic Universe, and the CityWalk entertainment district. The resort is one of the most visited in the world, drawing tens of millions of guests annually to its theme parks, hotels, and dining venues.

While CityWalk offers convenient dining between the parks, many guests head to International Drive for a wider selection of sit-down restaurants after the parks close. The I-Drive corridor runs south from the Universal area through ICON Park and beyond, with Italian, steaks, seafood, and more — all at off-site prices with full bars, happy hours, and private dining rooms.

Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is about 4 miles south of Universal Studios on International Drive at ICON Park — roughly 10 minutes by car or rideshare. Since 2014, the restaurant has served Universal guests with handmade pasta, USDA Prime steaks, fresh seafood, a full bar, and complimentary valet parking every evening.
