Westgate Lakes guests know the value of a good treat night. After a few days of grilling by the pool and cooking in the villa kitchen, a proper sit-down Italian dinner hits differently. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana prepares every pasta, sauce, and dessert from scratch — the lasagna, the spaghetti carbonara, the homemade potato gnocchi — all made fresh nightly.
Families love the chicken parmigiana, kids go straight for the kids menu, and the adults finally get to order something for themselves — like the ribeye or a plate of shrimp scampi with a glass of wine. The portions are generous and the prices are fair for what you get.
The tiramisu alone has been called out in hundreds of reviews. It is made in-house every day and it is the kind of dessert that makes you glad you saved room.
For a timeshare night out, Vincenzo delivers. It is casual, welcoming, and the food is leagues ahead of anything you will find at a chain.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
The Navarra Group has been in the hospitality business for over 33 years. They opened Vincenzo on International Drive in 2014 because they believed Orlando families deserved an Italian restaurant that felt personal — not mass-produced, not corporate, not forgettable.
Westgate Lakes families appreciate that. When you walk in with three kids and a stroller, the staff does not flinch. When you show up in shorts and sandals after a pool day, nobody raises an eyebrow. Vincenzo treats everyone the same: like a guest in someone's home.
That consistency is why the restaurant has earned over 4,000 reviews and why families staying at Westgate Lakes come back year after year. It is the restaurant they remember between visits.
In a city full of tourist-targeted dining, Vincenzo stands out because it is still independently owned, still family-run, and still cooking from scratch every single night.
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.
Westgate Lakes sits off Turkey Lake Road, and Vincenzo is at ICON Park on International Drive — about 8 to 10 minutes east. It is an easy route with no highway needed, and the complimentary valet at Vincenzo means parking is one less thing to worry about.
ICON Park at night feels festive. The wheel is glowing, families are walking around, and the energy is a nice change from the resort grounds. Vincenzo sits right in the middle of the action but feels calm inside — a proper restaurant with warm lighting and a comfortable dining room.
Come as you are. Vacation clothes, flip-flops, a sundress — whatever you are wearing works. Vincenzo keeps the atmosphere relaxed on purpose. Upscale vibes, casual comfort.
For Westgate Lakes families looking for a treat night that does not require a 30-minute drive or a dress code, Vincenzo is exactly the right distance and exactly the right vibe.
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.
After the kids are settled and the dinner plates are cleared, the bar at Vincenzo is where the grownups get their moment. An Espresso Martini, a Chianti, or a cold beer — the full bar has options for every taste and every budget.
Happy Hour pricing is available Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM: $4 bottled beers, $7 wines, $10 cocktails. Wine Down Wednesday cuts wine-by-the-glass prices in half for the whole evening.
Westgate Lakes groups celebrating a family reunion, birthday, or milestone during their timeshare week can book the Amalfi Room — it seats 15 to 50 guests with a custom Italian menu, AV equipment, and complimentary valet. Larger groups over 150 can arrange a full restaurant buyout.
Vincenzo turns a simple dinner out into an experience worth remembering. That is exactly what Westgate Lakes families are looking for when they finally leave the resort for the night.
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.
