“We came straight from the parks with three kids still in park clothes. They didn’t bat an eye. The pasta was incredible and valet made it so easy. Best dinner of our trip.”

Villatel Orlando guests have full kitchens in their vacation homes, so when they go out to dinner, it has to be worth it. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana earns that spot. The chicken marsala is pan-seared and finished with a Marsala wine reduction. The Chilean sea bass arrives flaky and perfectly cooked. The handmade pasta is rolled fresh in-house every day.
Families who have been cooking their own breakfasts and lunches all week deserve a night where someone else does the work — and does it well. Vincenzo's menu runs deep: fettuccine alfredo with jumbo shrimp, filet mignon from Creekstone Farms, spaghetti carbonara, and homemade lasagna are just the start.
For dessert, the tiramisu is made in-house daily, and it is consistently the most mentioned item across Vincenzo's 4,000+ guest reviews. One bite and you will understand why people come back.
This is not a chain. It is not fast-casual. It is an Italian restaurant that takes its kitchen seriously — and Villatel guests who value quality at home recognize quality at the table.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
The Navarra Group built Vincenzo on International Drive in 2014 with the idea that Orlando needed a locally owned Italian restaurant where families could celebrate, relax, and eat well without feeling like they were at a theme park. Over a decade and 4,000+ reviews later, they have proven the concept.
Villatel guests understand the value of a personal touch. At Vincenzo, that starts with the greeting and carries through every course. The servers know the menu inside and out, there is never a hard sell on wine, and kids are treated like guests — not inconveniences.
Whether you are celebrating a special occasion during your Villatel stay or just want one proper sit-down dinner during the trip, Vincenzo makes you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in.
No dress code, no attitude, no reservations required most evenings. It is the kind of restaurant where flip-flops and cocktail dresses sit at neighboring tables and nobody notices.
Hands down the best Italian spot in Orlando. The service was impeccable, the food was absolutely incredible. The lobster ravioli was out of this world.

Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Villatel Orlando is located in the Kissimmee corridor, and Vincenzo sits at ICON Park on International Drive. The drive takes about 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic, and complimentary valet parking at the restaurant means you pull up, hand off the keys, and walk right in.
For Villatel families used to having everything they need inside their vacation home, the trip to I-Drive for dinner at Vincenzo becomes one of the highlights of the week. ICON Park is vibrant in the evening, and the whole area feels like an event.
Come in whatever you are wearing. Pool clothes, resort wear, a nice shirt if you feel like it — Vincenzo is completely casual. The vibe is upscale Italian food in a comfortable, no-pressure setting.
Think of it as the one night during your Villatel stay where you trade the home kitchen for a professional one — and leave the dishes to someone else.
We came after the parks and it was the perfect way to end the day. The gnocchi was unreal and the valet made everything so easy.

The Dishes People Come Back For
Chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. Fettuccine alfredo with jumbo shrimp. Made fresh, every night.
Once the family is fed and the kids are distracted by tiramisu, the bar at Vincenzo is where the night gets interesting. The Espresso Martini is a guest favorite, and the Italian wine list features bottles from Tuscany, Piedmont, and Sicily alongside California selections.
Happy Hour is Monday all night, Tuesday through Friday 5 to 7 PM. Pricing is sharp: $4 bottled beers, $7 wines by the glass, $10 cocktails. On Wednesdays, Wine Down Wednesday drops all glasses to half price for the full evening.
Villatel groups often travel together — extended families, friend groups, reunion trips. The Amalfi Room at Vincenzo accommodates 15 to 50 guests for private dining with custom Italian menus, AV support, and dedicated event coordination. Buyouts for up to 150 are also available.
A night at Vincenzo gives Villatel guests the full Italian experience: great food, a real bar, good company, and a meal that does not end until you are ready.
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.
Villatel guests recommend Vincenzo because it checks every box: real food, reasonable prices, family-friendly atmosphere, and a location that is easy to get to from the resort. It is the dinner everyone agrees on.
No reservations needed most nights. No dress code. Kids menu available. Date nights, birthdays, and casual weeknight dinners all work here equally well.
When you have a full kitchen at your Villatel vacation home but still want one night that feels like a real going-out experience, Vincenzo on International Drive is the answer.
