Planning a family day on International Drive gives visitors plenty of ways to combine entertainment, sightseeing, and dining without traveling across Orlando. ICON Park makes a convenient starting point, with the Orlando Eye, SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium, Madame Tussauds Orlando, and the Orlando StarFlyer offering activities for different interests and ages.
After enjoying the attractions, Vincenzo Cucina Italiana provides a welcoming place to sit down together and enjoy a complete Italian dinner. The family-owned restaurant has been part of the I-Drive dining scene since 2014.
A full day of sightseeing can end with Lasagna. Parents may prefer Chilean Sea Bass or Prime 10oz Filet Mignon. Children ages 10 and under can enjoy Cheese or Beef Ravioli from the $13 kids menu. Finish with Nutella Cheesecake.
A great family day on International Drive combines the excitement of discovering Orlando with the simple pleasure of sitting down together for dinner.

Vincenzo is owned and operated by the Navarra Group, a family with over 33 years of hospitality experience. It has been on International Drive since 2014 and has grown into one of the most-reviewed Italian restaurants in Orlando — with 4,000+ guest reviews across Google, OpenTable, TripAdvisor, and Yelp.
That family ownership shows in how the restaurant runs. No attitude. No pressure. No dress code. Families come in after a day at the parks and are made to feel welcome immediately. There is room for strollers, the staff is patient with kids, and the menu has something for every age.
End the day with gelato or tiramisu for dessert. The kids can add vanilla or chocolate gelato to their meal for $5. Or share a round of Bomba Gelati — passion fruit, mango, and raspberry sorbet in a white chocolate shell. A perfect way to finish a family day on International Drive.
Best family dinner we had in Orlando. The kids menu is actually good — not just chicken nuggets. My kids ate their whole plates. Service was warm, no rush. We came in straight from the park and felt completely comfortable.
