“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.”

Convention days at the Hyatt Regency are long — back-to-back sessions, networking lunches, exhibit hall walks that never seem to end. By evening, you need a real dinner. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is the Italian restaurant near the Convention Center where the pasta is handmade, the sauces are built from scratch, and every dish arrives at the table the way it should: fresh, hot, and worth the wait.
Business travelers order the spaghetti carbonara, the filet mignon, and the risotto because these are dishes that match the weight of the day. Families staying at the Hyatt go for the chicken parmigiana, the lasagna, and the fettuccine alfredo. The kids menu makes group dining simple.
Finish with the homemade tiramisu. It has shown up in more of Vincenzo's 4,000+ reviews than any other dessert, and it pairs perfectly with an after-dinner espresso or a nightcap at the bar.
Vincenzo is not a convention center restaurant. It is a family-owned Italian kitchen that happens to be five minutes away — and that proximity changes everything about your evening.
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 a specific vision: an Italian restaurant that could serve a convention executive and a family of five at neighboring tables without either one feeling out of place. Over 33 years of hospitality experience went into making that balance work.
Hyatt Regency Convention Center guests appreciate that Vincenzo does not play favorites. A group of ten splitting bottles of wine after a trade show gets the same warm service as a couple on date night or a mom with two tired kids in tow.
No dress code means you can come straight from the convention floor — badge still on, blazer optional. The servers are used to business groups, late arrivals, and tables that need to split checks eight ways. Nothing phases them.
For a convention hotel guest who wants to eat off-property at a real restaurant, Vincenzo makes the transition seamless. Walk in, sit down, and let the family behind the restaurant take care of the rest.
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.
The Hyatt Regency Orlando is right at the Orange County Convention Center, and Vincenzo is at ICON Park on International Drive — about a 5 minute drive north. The route is simple, traffic is manageable in the evening, and complimentary valet at the restaurant means you are out of the car and seated in minutes.
ICON Park gives convention guests a change of pace from the OCCC corridor. The area is lively, the atmosphere is relaxed, and Vincenzo sits in the heart of it. It is the kind of environment where you forget you have been in a conference room for nine hours.
Come in business attire or business casual or shorts — nobody at Vincenzo cares. The restaurant works for everything from a team dinner after the last session to a quiet solo meal at the bar with a glass of wine.
For Hyatt Regency Convention Center guests who have been eating catered box lunches and hotel banquet food all week, Vincenzo feels like a genuine escape — and it is barely five minutes away.
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.
Convention evenings at Vincenzo start at the bar. After a day of handshakes and presentations, a proper cocktail goes a long way. The Negroni is classic, the Espresso Martini keeps you going, and the Italian wine list has depth that surprises people who expect I-Drive to be all frozen drinks and beer buckets.
Happy Hour is Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM: $4 beers, $7 wines, $10 cocktails. Wine Down Wednesday offers half-price wine by the glass all evening — ideal for mid-convention decompression with colleagues.
The Amalfi Room at Vincenzo is built for convention groups. It seats 15 to 50 guests with custom Italian menus, a projection screen for presentations, AV equipment, and complimentary valet for every guest. Full restaurant buyouts handle groups over 150. Over 1,500 events have been executed here.
Whether you are hosting a client dinner, taking your team out, or meeting a colleague for drinks, Vincenzo near the Convention Center handles business entertaining with professionalism and real food — not banquet trays.
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.
Hyatt Regency Convention Center guests choose Vincenzo because it solves the nightly dinner problem that every convention attendee faces. Real food. Real service. No planning required. Just a short drive and a restaurant that is ready for you every night from 5 to 10 PM.
Business groups, solo travelers, families tagging along for the trip — everyone fits here. The dress code is come as you are, and the kitchen delivers consistently whether you are ordering for one or for twenty.
Vincenzo is the off-site dinner that Hyatt convention guests mention in their expense reports and recommend to colleagues attending next year's conference. It is that reliable.
