Visitors to Epic Universe often search for dining offers that help make their Orlando vacation budget stretch further. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana welcomes park guests with a dining special that provides 10% off food when an Epic Universe ticket is presented.
The offer applies at a family-owned Italian restaurant rather than another attraction or food location inside the Universal resort. Guests can enjoy a relaxed dinner, explore the ICON Park surroundings, and experience an independently operated restaurant established in 2014.
Pan-seared Chilean sea bass with artichoke and Prosecco butter offers an appealing seafood entrée for guests seeking delicate, distinctive flavors. Gnocchi provides a comforting Italian pasta alternative for those interested in a more traditional dish. Limoncello cake completes dinner with refreshing lemon notes and a creamy finish.
These selections highlight the variety of Italian food that Epic Universe guests can enjoy while taking advantage of their ticket-holder dining offer.

Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
Reaching Vincenzo from Epic Universe takes approximately 10 minutes by car across a distance of 2.5 miles. Follow navigation toward the International Drive entertainment corridor, using ICON Park and the Orlando Eye as general destination references.

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.
Located at ICON Park on International Drive, near Universal, Epic Universe, SeaWorld, the Orange County Convention Center, major hotels, and Orlando's top attractions, Vincenzo is one of the easiest dinner choices in the city.
After a long park day, a convention, a family outing, or a night exploring International Drive, guests can sit down, relax, and enjoy a real meal without leaving the area. Complimentary valet parking makes the evening simple from the moment you arrive.
Vincenzo is casual enough for vacation clothes, shorts, and families, but polished enough for date nights, business dinners, private events, and celebrations. The atmosphere is warm, upbeat, and welcoming: the kind of place where tourists feel comfortable and locals still recommend it.
In a city full of chains and crowded tourist restaurants, Vincenzo gives guests something better: authentic Italian food, real hospitality, and a comfortable restaurant experience right in the heart of I-Drive.
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.

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.
