One of the conveniences of staying at Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa is having the option to prepare meals in your accommodation. But after several days of planning groceries and cooking, an evening at a restaurant can be a welcome vacation treat.
Vincenzo Cucina Italiana offers a menu built around Italian cooking, with handmade pasta as an important part of its appeal. It’s a good option for travelers craving a hearty, freshly prepared restaurant dinner.
For guests who want something other than pasta, fresh seafood provides a different selection of entrées. This helps accommodate families and friends whose dining preferences vary from one person to another.
USDA Prime steaks add another option for adults looking for a substantial meal. The balance of pasta, seafood, and premium beef makes Vincenzo suitable for groups that want one destination without compromising on food choices.
Where Every Plate Tells a Story
Hand-rolled gnocchi, slow-simmered sauces, steaks cut fresh daily. Real Italian cooking.
Located approximately 3.5 miles from Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa, Vincenzo is accessible in an estimated 8–10 minutes by car. This makes the restaurant a practical dinner option after a long day exploring Orlando.
Guests traveling from the resort can follow Turkey Lake Road east toward International Drive. This connection leads toward the ICON Park dining and attraction district.
Vincenzo is located at 8255 International Drive, Suite 112, directly across from the Orlando StarFlyer. The distinctive attraction serves as a helpful landmark when finding the restaurant.
Complimentary evening valet allows guests to arrive without worrying about where to park. Vincenzo welcomes diners from 5 PM to 10 PM every day, giving families flexibility when deciding when to leave the resort.
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.

Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Choosing a restaurant with children can be challenging when everyone has different appetites. Vincenzo helps simplify the decision by offering a dedicated children’s menu alongside a varied adult menu.
For children ages 10 and under, the kids menu is $13 and includes a beverage. Parents can factor this into their dinner plans while choosing their own preferred Italian entrées.
Couples and adult groups can complement their meals with craft cocktails or wine. The restaurant also offers weekday Happy Hour specials, providing another consideration when deciding on an arrival time.
Since no formal dress code applies, guests can visit in comfortable vacation attire. Families who have spent the afternoon at the pool or sightseeing don’t need to make dinner preparations more complicated than necessary.
Came here after reading the reviews and they were all accurate. The chicken marsala was tender, the mushroom sauce was incredible. Very happy we found this place.

Dishes That Define Vincenzo
Ossobuco over saffron risotto. Lobster ravioli in cream sauce. The plates that built our reputation.
Vincenzo has operated as an independent, family-owned restaurant since 2014. Its connection to the Navarra Group and more than 30 years of hospitality experience provide a foundation beyond simply offering a convenient meal.
The restaurant’s broad Italian menu is useful when traveling with people who have different favorites. One guest can order a pasta entrée while another enjoys seafood or USDA Prime beef.
Its setting provides a comfortable balance: welcoming enough for a family dinner but polished enough for a birthday celebration or special vacation evening. This flexibility makes it a restaurant worth considering more than once during an extended stay.
For guests seeking food near Westgate Lakes Orlando, Vincenzo offers the pleasure of a restaurant-prepared Italian meal without a long drive. Leave the grocery shopping and dishes behind for the evening and enjoy dinner together.
We stayed nearby and walked over for dinner. Best decision of the trip. The scallop risotto was restaurant-of-the-year good.
