Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is a casual Italian restaurant with an upbeat atmosphere on International Drive - handmade pasta, USDA Prime steaks, fresh seafood, craft cocktails, a full bar, a kids menu, outdoor patio, and complimentary valet. Just 3 miles from Epic Universe - less than 10 minutes by car.
Everything at Vincenzo is made from scratch. Our pasta is rolled and cut by hand daily. The lasagna is layered with slow-cooked bolognese and creamy bechamel. Potato gnocchi are light and pillowy. The scallop risotto is finished with saffron and butter. This is real Italian cooking, not reheated theme park food.
Our USDA Prime steaks come from Creekstone Farms and are cooked to order. The Chilean sea bass is pan-seared in champagne butter. The ossobuco is braised for hours until it falls off the bone. With 4,000+ reviews and the Navarra Group's 30+ years of experience, this is the meal your Epic Universe trip deserves.
Start with sauteed calamari or burrata with roasted tomatoes. Move to lobster ravioli, braised short ribs, or a 14-oz New York strip. Finish with housemade tiramisu - espresso-soaked ladyfingers layered with mascarpone. Every course is made to be savored, not rushed.
Kids 10 and under have their own menu starting. Adults can enjoy craft cocktails, an Italian wine list, and happy hour specials. Whether you are feeding a family of six or celebrating a date night after the park, the menu covers everyone at the table.
Vincenzo is located at ICON Park on International Drive, across from the StarFlyer and close to all major hotels, the Orange County Convention Center, Universal Orlando, Epic Universe, and SeaWorld. Whether you are staying nearby or driving in from across Orlando, we are just 3 miles away - less than 10 minutes by car.
Complimentary valet parking every evening. Easy Uber and Lyft pick-up and drop-off. Outdoor patio seating available. Dine in the heart and action of International Drive.
Enjoy a full bar, handcrafted cocktails, and a wide selection of Italian and California wines in a relaxed, upbeat atmosphere. From classic Negronis and refreshing Aperol Spritz to your favorite glass of wine or cocktail, there is something for everyone to sip, relax, and enjoy.
