“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.”

Element Hotel guests know the extended-stay routine: breakfast at the hotel, maybe lunch from a nearby spot, and dinner that usually involves a microwave and a kitchenette. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is the night you break that cycle. Handmade pasta, seared seafood, USDA Prime steaks, and Italian dishes prepared from scratch at ICON Park on International Drive — a short trip from your hotel.
The menu rewards guests who are tired of cooking for themselves. The lobster ravioli is rich and satisfying. The pappardelle ragu is slow-braised and hearty. The chicken parmigiana is crispy, cheesy, and served with spaghetti. This is the meal your kitchenette cannot replicate.
The homemade tiramisu has earned a permanent spot in Vincenzo's 4,000+ guest reviews. It is made fresh daily and it is the kind of dessert that reminds you why you left the hotel in the first place.
Vincenzo is not a chain and it does not feel like one. It is a family-owned Italian restaurant that serves dinner the way it should taste: real ingredients, real cooking, no compromises.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
The Navarra Group opened Vincenzo on International Drive in 2014 after more than 33 years in the hospitality business. They built a restaurant for Orlando guests who wanted something personal — a place where the owners are present, the staff knows the menu, and nobody treats dinner like a transaction.
Element Hotel guests on extended stays especially appreciate that consistency. When you eat out every few nights during a week-long or month-long stay, you want a restaurant you can rely on. Vincenzo delivers the same quality on Tuesday night as it does on Saturday.
There is no dress code and no formality. Come from the hotel in whatever you are wearing. The servers are relaxed, the atmosphere is comfortable, and the pace is yours to set.
For Element guests who have been eating out of containers and grocery bags, Vincenzo feels like a proper night out — because it is. Family-owned, locally operated, and still cooking from scratch after a decade on I-Drive.
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.

Element Hotel is on International Drive, and Vincenzo is at ICON Park — also on I-Drive. The distance is short, the drive takes only a few minutes, and complimentary valet at the restaurant means you pull up and walk in. No circling, no parking garage, no hassle.
For extended-stay guests who know the I-Drive corridor by heart, Vincenzo at ICON Park is one of those spots that keeps earning repeat visits. The setting is vibrant at night, the observation wheel is lit, and the whole area has a comfortable energy that makes dinner feel like an event.
No dress code. No need to change out of your daytime clothes. Vincenzo keeps it casual — the kind of place where you feel equally comfortable in a polo shirt or a hoodie. Upscale vibes, casual comfort.
Element guests who discover Vincenzo early in their stay almost always come back before checkout. It is that close, and that good.
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.
The full bar at Vincenzo is where Element Hotel guests reward themselves for another day of work or travel. The Espresso Martini is the top seller. The Italian wine list goes deep. The classic Negroni and Aperol Spritz are always available, along with beer, bourbon, and a rotating cocktail list.
Happy Hour is Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM: $4 beers, $7 wines by the glass, $10 cocktails. Wine Down Wednesday means half-price glasses all night — an easy excuse to walk over from the Element for a midweek Italian dinner.
For Element guests hosting colleagues or organizing a group dinner, the Amalfi Room accommodates 15 to 50 guests with custom menus, AV equipment, and complimentary valet. Full buyouts for 150+ are available for larger events.
Whether it is a solo glass of wine at the bar after a long workday or a full dinner with friends visiting for the weekend, Vincenzo gives Element Hotel guests a reliable, high-quality option just minutes from their door.
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
