“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.”

Keep reading to learn more about Vincenzo
Fairfield Inn guests know the drill — the in-room coffee maker handles mornings, and the kitchenette covers snacks. But when the sun goes down, nobody wants to eat a microwave dinner in a hotel room. Vincenzo is where the evening meal becomes the highlight of the day.
The menu starts with antipasti like bruschetta topped with fresh tomatoes and basil, and sauteed calamari in a light garlic sauce. Main courses range from handmade lasagna layered with Bolognese, ricotta, and bechamel to the butternut squash ravioli in brown butter that regulars order every single visit. The salmon is pan-seared and seasoned simply because the fish is good enough to speak for itself.
Every pasta is made fresh. Every sauce is built from scratch. The tiramisu is homemade and has become one of the most talked-about desserts on International Drive — 4,000+ reviews confirm it.
Kitchenette breakfasts are fine for keeping the budget in check. Dinner deserves a real kitchen, a real chef, and a real dining room. Vincenzo delivers all three.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
Vincenzo is owned and operated by the Navarra Group, a family with over 33 years in the hospitality business. They opened on International Drive in 2014, and every decision since has been guided by one principle: treat every guest like they are eating at your house.
Fairfield Inn travelers tend to be practical. They picked a smart hotel at a fair price, and they want a restaurant that gives them the same kind of value — great food without the tourist trap surcharge. Vincenzo fits that mindset perfectly.
There is no dress code. Shorts and sneakers from a day at the parks sit next to business casual from a day at the convention center. Kids are welcome, and the staff makes families feel at ease rather than rushed through the meal.
That everyday comfort is what separates Vincenzo from the overwrought I-Drive restaurants that charge double for half the quality. It is a neighborhood Italian restaurant that happens to sit in the most visited neighborhood in Florida.
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.
Fairfield Inn on International Drive is already in the zone. Vincenzo sits at ICON Park on the same road, making the drive straightforward and short. No tolls, no highways, no navigation headaches after a tiring day.
Complimentary valet is waiting when you arrive. Pull up, step out, and walk into the restaurant while someone else parks the car. It is a small detail that Fairfield Inn guests appreciate after spending all day driving between attractions.
Dinner is served from 5 to 10 PM nightly. Whether you eat early before exploring ICON Park or show up late after a full evening out, the kitchen is running and the bar is open.
The return trip to Fairfield Inn is measured in minutes. In a city where everything feels spread out, having a great Italian restaurant this close to your hotel is the kind of convenience that changes how you plan your evenings.
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.
Fairfield Inn does not have a bar. Vincenzo does — a full one, stocked with Italian wines, California bottles, craft beers, and a cocktail menu that includes Negronis, Aperol Spritzes, Espresso Martinis, and classic martinis shaken properly.
Happy hour makes the first round easy: $4 bottled beers, $7 wines by the glass, and $10 cocktails. Those prices hold Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM. On Wednesdays, Wine Down Wednesday takes every wine by the glass down to half price for the entire evening.
The Amalfi Room is available for private parties of 15 to 50, and the restaurant handles full buyouts for groups of 150 or more. Over 1,500 events have been hosted here with custom Italian menus, AV support, and complimentary valet included.
Casual drinks before dinner or cocktails that turn into a full evening — Vincenzo's bar accommodates both without pretense or pressure.
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.
Fairfield Inn guests are smart travelers. They pick hotels that deliver value and restaurants that deliver flavor. Vincenzo has been the answer to both since 2014 — real Italian food, honest pricing, and a casual atmosphere that never makes guests feel like they wandered into the wrong place.
Walk in wearing whatever you wore to the parks. Order the tortellini or the ribeye or just a cocktail at the bar. The kitchen runs from 5 to 10 PM with complimentary valet and zero attitude at the door.
This is the restaurant that Fairfield Inn guests bookmark on night one and return to before checkout. Family-owned, 4,000+ reviews, and right on International Drive where you are already staying.
