Cross the street from your hotel lobby to authentic Italian. It really is that close.

“Our kids begged to come back the second night. The pizza was amazing for them and we had the sea bass and lobster ravioli. Everyone left happy.”

Embassy Suites at ICON Park gives families the space they need — suite-style rooms, a pool, and a location surrounded by entertainment. What it cannot give you is a handmade Italian dinner prepared by a family that has been perfecting their craft for over a decade.
Vincenzo is across the street. Not down the road. Not a rideshare away. Across the street. Walk out the front door of the Embassy Suites and you can see the restaurant.
Inside, the kitchen is producing dishes that have earned over 4,000 reviews. The butternut squash ravioli — homemade ravioli filled with butternut squash, finished in a porcini and sage truffle cream sauce — is the kind of seasonal dish that makes you forget you are on International Drive.
The lasagna layers beef bolognese, mozzarella, parmigiano, ricotta, and bechamel in a way that takes time and care to assemble. Each serving is substantial enough to satisfy the hungriest park-goer.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
The Navarra family did not open Vincenzo on a whim. Three decades of hospitality experience — managing restaurants, understanding kitchens, training staff, reading guests — went into every decision.
The result is a restaurant where nothing feels accidental. The wine list pairs perfectly with the menu because someone actually tested the pairings. The service pace is calibrated so you never feel rushed but never feel forgotten. The music, the lighting, the temperature — all designed to make dinner feel like an event.
Embassy Suites families experience this the moment they walk through the door. Children are welcomed with the same warmth as adults. Servers know the kids menu by heart and can recommend dishes based on how adventurous the child is feeling.
That kind of attentiveness is not taught in a corporate training manual. It is learned over decades of caring about the people who sit at your tables.
My daughter who eats nothing tried the gnocchi and cleaned her plate. My son had the filet tips from the kids menu and asked for seconds. This restaurant understands families.

Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
The beauty of staying at the Embassy Suites at ICON Park and dining at Vincenzo is the complete absence of logistics. No map. No GPS. No parking app. No rideshare surge pricing. Just walk out and walk in.
Complimentary valet is available if you prefer, but Embassy Suites guests rarely need it. The proximity makes dinner a spontaneous decision rather than a planned excursion.
After dinner, ICON Park offers evening entertainment. The Orlando Eye is particularly stunning after dark. Or simply walk back to the hotel with full stomachs and the satisfaction of having found a genuinely good restaurant.
Vincenzo opens at 5 PM and serves until 10 PM every night. The flexibility means Embassy Suites guests can time dinner around their schedules, not the other way around.
Wine Down Wednesday has become our vacation tradition. Half-price Chianti, the carpaccio to start, then the linguine and clams. We come back every year.

The Dishes People Come Back For
Chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. Fettuccine alfredo with jumbo shrimp. Made fresh, every night.
Wine Down Wednesday at Vincenzo is a ritual for Embassy Suites guests who stay multiple nights. Half-off every wine by the glass means you can explore the Italian and California selections without hesitation.
The rest of the week offers its own incentives. Happy hour Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM brings $4 beers, $7 wines, and $10 cocktails. The Negroni, Aperol Spritz, and Espresso Martini are the three most popular cocktails.
The bar also serves as a meeting point for families traveling together. Parents can gather for drinks while kids explore ICON Park with older siblings, then reconvene for dinner in the main dining room.
Private dining in the Amalfi Room seats 15 to 50. Embassy Suites families celebrating birthdays, reunions, or anniversaries find it perfect for a dedicated dinner event.
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.
The proximity creates a pattern: Embassy Suites guests try Vincenzo once, then come back every night of their stay. Monday for happy hour. Tuesday for the steaks. Wednesday for wine specials. Thursday for one more plate of gnocchi before checking out.
That kind of repeat business speaks louder than any review. Vincenzo earns it with consistency — every night, every dish, every guest receives the same care and quality.
