“Three conventions in Orlando and this is always where our group ends up. The private room is ideal for business and the food puts hotel restaurants to shame.”

The Menu
Housemade pasta, steaks, seafood, chicken parmigiana, lasagna, cocktails, wine, desserts, and a kids menu — all served in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
Keep reading to learn more about Vincenzo
The difference between Vincenzo and most International Drive restaurants is visible before the first bite. The pasta has texture and color that dried pasta cannot match. The marinara has depth that comes from hours of simmering, not a jar. The meatballs are dense and flavorful because they are made by hand, not by machine.
This is scratch-made Italian food. The kitchen team arrives hours before service to roll pasta, prep sauces, butcher steaks, and prepare each component of the evening's menu. Nothing is pre-made. Nothing is microwaved. Nothing is phoned in.
For Hyatt Regency guests who have eaten convention catering for three days, the first bite of Vincenzo's lobster ravioli is a revelation. This is what food is supposed to taste like when someone actually cares about making it well.
The commitment to scratch cooking extends to every dish. The gnocchi are potato-based, not frozen. The risotto is stirred to order. The tiramisu is assembled fresh daily with mascarpone and espresso-soaked ladyfingers.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
First time? Start with the lobster ravioli ($44). It is the dish that made Vincenzo famous — Maine lobster and ricotta in handmade pasta with lobster cream sauce. Worth every dollar.
Budget-conscious? Chicken parmigiana ($26) is the most ordered dish. Fettuccine alfredo ($21) is the best value pasta. Both are enormous portions made from scratch.
Celebrating? Filet mignon (market price) with a bottle of Barolo. Chilean sea bass with prosecco butter. Scallop risotto with truffle parmigiano. These are the dishes that turn a dinner into an event.
Feeding the family? $13 kids menu includes beverage. Adults can share family-style platters of pasta and salad. No dress code means kids in vacation clothes are perfectly welcome.
Our leadership dinner for 30 was handled beautifully. Three courses, wine pairings, and a presentation setup. The filet mignon was the best any of us had all year.

Black Angus from Creekstone Farms
Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Vincenzo is not just pasta. The USDA Prime steaks from Creekstone Farms compete with any steakhouse in Orlando. The 10-ounce filet mignon with roasted garlic truffle butter is the convention guest's power-dinner choice.
The seafood program includes Chilean sea bass, scallop risotto, linguine frutti di mare, salmon, and shrimp scampi. Each dish is prepared with the same attention that goes into the pasta.
The full bar serves craft cocktails, Italian wines by the glass and bottle, and draft beers. Happy hour pricing applies Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday 5 to 7 PM.
Dietary accommodations are handled without drama. Gluten-free options exist. Vegetarian dishes are available. The kitchen adjusts for allergies. Tell your server and the kitchen responds.
Found this gem during the IT convention. Four of us came for happy hour, stayed for dinner, and ended up closing out the bar. Best evening of the trip by far.

The Dishes People Come Back For
Chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. Fettuccine alfredo with jumbo shrimp. Made fresh, every night.
When the convention planning committee asks "where should we eat?", the answer is Vincenzo. The Amalfi Room seats 15 to 50 guests in a private environment that feels like a dinner party, not a banquet.
Family-style service starts at $59 per person — platters of pasta, salad, bread, and proteins served to the center of the table. Buffet service at $69 per person offers more variety. Plated dinner at $85 per person provides the most refined experience.
Full restaurant buyouts for up to 150 guests transform the entire restaurant into your private event. AV capabilities, custom menus, dedicated servers, and complimentary valet for every guest.
Convention planners contact the Navarra family directly at (407) 745-4030. They have hosted over 1,500 events and understand the logistics that make group dining work.
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 Hyatt Regency Orlando is a remarkable hotel. But no convention hotel in the world can match a dedicated family-owned restaurant when it comes to food quality. That is not a limitation of the hotel — it is the advantage of a restaurant like Vincenzo.
1.3 miles north on International Drive. Four minutes. Complimentary valet. Open nightly 5 to 10 PM.
Reserve on OpenTable. Call (407) 745-4030. Walk-ins welcome.
