“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.”

Keep reading to learn more about Vincenzo
Wyndham Garden guests are in the Universal orbit — close to the parks, surrounded by I-Drive energy, and looking for a dinner that matches the excitement of the day. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana delivers with fresh handmade pasta, seared seafood, and Italian dishes that are built from scratch every evening at ICON Park.
The most popular orders from park-goers include the chicken parmigiana, the potato gnocchi with burrata, and the fettuccine alfredo. For guests who want something more refined, the seared sea bass, the ossobuco, and the NY strip are always on point.
Save room for the homemade tiramisu. It has earned a spot in over 4,000 guest reviews and remains the dish people mention first when they talk about Vincenzo.
This is the Italian dinner that Wyndham Garden guests wish their hotel restaurant served — made fresh, served with care, and priced fairly for what lands on the plate.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
Behind Vincenzo is the Navarra Group — a family with over 33 years of hospitality experience who opened this restaurant on International Drive in 2014. They run it personally, they know the menu cold, and they treat every guest the way they would treat family at their own table.
For Wyndham Garden guests, that personal feel matters. After a day of navigating Universal crowds, a restaurant where the staff remembers your name and the server suggests dishes based on what you actually like is a welcome change.
There is no dress code. Show up however the parks left you — tired, sunburned, in flip-flops. Vincenzo was built for exactly that. The food is elevated but the atmosphere stays relaxed.
That balance between quality food and casual comfort is what keeps Wyndham Garden guests coming back each time they visit Orlando.
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.
Wyndham Garden Universal is located along International Drive, and Vincenzo is at ICON Park — a quick drive down the same road. Depending on traffic, you are looking at 5 to 10 minutes. Complimentary valet parking at the restaurant means you skip the lot entirely.
The I-Drive corridor after dark is one of the best parts of Orlando. The lights are on, ICON Park is buzzing, and the whole stretch feels alive. Vincenzo sits right in the center of it, making dinner feel like part of the evening rather than a detour from it.
Wear whatever you wore to the park. Wyndham Garden guests come in Universal shirts, sandals, and shorts — and they are met with the same service as everyone else. Vincenzo is casual Italian with upscale food, and that combination is exactly what most visitors want.
For Universal-area guests looking for a dinner they will actually remember, Vincenzo on I-Drive is one of the simplest and best decisions you can make.
We came after Epic Universe 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.
The bar at Vincenzo is the kind of place where park-goers decompress. A cold Aperol Spritz, a craft cocktail, or a glass of Italian wine after spending eight hours on your feet — it is the reset button your evening needs.
Happy Hour pricing applies Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM: $4 bottled beers, $7 wines, $10 cocktails. Wine Down Wednesday means half-price wines by the glass all night. Arrive early from Wyndham Garden and you catch it right at the start.
If your group at Wyndham Garden is big enough for a private dinner, the Amalfi Room seats 15 to 50 with custom menus, AV setup, and valet. Full restaurant buyouts accommodate 150+ guests. Over 1,500 events have been hosted at Vincenzo, from birthdays to corporate gatherings.
Happy hour for two, dinner for ten, or a private event for fifty — Vincenzo scales to fit whatever your Wyndham Garden group needs.
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.

Homemade lasagna. Meatballs with San Marzano sauce. The Italian food you remember, done right.

No dress code. Kids are welcome. Park clothes are welcome. Date nights, birthdays, casual dinners, group celebrations — all of it works here.
