An Elevated Alternative to Yard House on I-Drive
Yard House on International Drive is a solid spot for beer and bar food, but sometimes you want something more. If you are searching for dinner near Yard House in Orlando, Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is the upgrade you did not know was right around the corner. Located at Vue at 360 on International Drive, we are just a short drive down the same stretch of I-Drive — and a world away from chain dining.
Where Yard House serves from a national menu, every dish at Vincenzo is made from scratch in our kitchen. Handmade pasta rolled daily. USDA Prime steaks hand-cut by our butcher. Seafood that arrived fresh that morning. This is the Italian restaurant Orlando keeps voting number one.
What Sets Vincenzo Apart
- ✭ Handmade pasta daily — gnocchi, lasagna, pappardelle, rigatoni
- ✭ USDA Prime steaks — filet mignon, Bone-In Ribeye, NY strip
- ✭ Fresh seafood — Chilean Sea Bass, Linguine Shrimp & Crab Fra Diavolo, seafood linguine
- ✭ Curated Italian wine list and craft cocktail program
- ✭ Complimentary valet parking every evening
- ✭ Intimate atmosphere — not a sports bar
Both on I-Drive, Different Experiences
International Drive is packed with restaurants, from fast food to fine dining. Yard House does what it does well — big TVs, long beer list, familiar appetizers. Vincenzo offers something different entirely. Our dining room is warm, intimate, and designed for conversation. There are no screens on the walls. The lighting is low. The wine list is curated, not just long.
If you are celebrating something — an anniversary, a birthday, a special night out during your Orlando vacation — Vincenzo is where you want to be. If you just want a beer and a burger, Yard House has you covered. But when you want to remember the meal, you come to us.
