Your Vacation Deserves a Real Dinner
Westgate Lakes Resort is one of the most popular family resorts on International Drive. Thousands of families check in every week for Orlando vacations built around theme parks, water slides, and lazy days by the pool. The resort has everything you need during the day. But when evening comes and everyone is cleaned up and starving, the on-site options start to feel limited. You did not fly to Orlando to eat reheated hotel food every night.
Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is located right on International Drive at Vue at 360, just a short drive north of Westgate Lakes. No highways, no complicated directions. You pull out of the resort, head up I-Drive, and within minutes you are handing your keys to our complimentary valet and walking into one of Orlando's most respected Italian restaurants. Over 33 years, more than 4,000 guests have left reviews. Our rating sits at 4.7 out of 5. This is where locals celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and business milestones. And it is right in your backyard while you are staying at Westgate.
Real Italian vs. Resort Dining
There is a difference between eating and dining. Resort restaurants exist to be convenient. They are fine when you are in a rush between parks. But at least one night on your vacation should feel special. Vincenzo gives you that night. Our kitchen makes everything from scratch daily. The pasta is hand-rolled. The steaks are USDA Prime, cut and grilled to order. The seafood is fresh. Our bartenders build craft cocktails while you browse a curated Italian wine list that has been refined over three decades.
The atmosphere is warm, elegant, and unhurried. You sit down. Someone brings fresh bread. You order a cocktail or a glass of wine. The kids find something they love on the menu. And for the first time all day, nobody is standing in line, nobody is rushing, and nobody is eating out of a paper wrapper. That is the difference between a resort meal and a dinner at Vincenzo.

Perfect for Families and Large Groups
Westgate Lakes draws big families. Grandparents, cousins, multiple generations sharing a vacation. Getting a group of 15 or 20 people into a restaurant on International Drive without a two-hour wait can feel impossible. Our private Amalfi Room was built for exactly this. It seats 15 to 50 guests in a dedicated space with a curated menu and attentive service. All-inclusive packages start at $110 per person, covering food, drinks, and everything else. One reservation, one space, and everyone eats together instead of being scattered across different tables at a chain restaurant.
Even if you are a smaller group or just a couple looking for a night away from the resort, Vincenzo fits. The menu has something for everyone, from classic lasagna Bolognese and hand-rolled gnocchi to pan-seared branzino and a 22-ounce bone-in ribeye. Kids eat well here. Adults eat even better.
