Full bar, craft cocktails, Italian small bites, and complimentary valet on International Drive.
If your convention sessions finish before dinner, Happy Hour at Vincenzo Cucina Italiana gives you a convenient place to meet colleagues and enjoy drinks nearby.

Timing matters when planning Happy Hour after a convention, especially on Tuesday through Friday when the specials run from 5–7 PM. Monday offers a longer opportunity, with Happy Hour available all evening from 5–10 PM. Guests can enjoy $4 bottled beer, $7 wine, $10 cocktails, and 30% off select appetizers during the advertised hours. On Wednesday, Wine Down Wednesday provides half off wines by the glass all night, even after the regular Happy Hour period ends.
Vincenzo is a locally owned Italian restaurant that has operated since 2014, serving homemade pasta, fresh seafood, USDA Prime steaks, and traditional Italian dishes. Guests who arrive for Happy Hour can remain for dinner without changing locations or finding another restaurant. Complimentary valet parking is available at ICON Park, directly across from the Orlando StarFlyer. Whether you're meeting one coworker or several convention colleagues, Vincenzo offers a full-service place to enjoy the evening along International Drive.
Handcrafted at the Bar
Negronis, Aperol Spritzes, Espresso Martinis, and more. Made by hand, every evening.
Vincenzo is not a hotel lobby bar. It is not a chain restaurant bar. It is a real Italian bar on International Drive with craft cocktails, Italian and California wines, cold beer, homemade limoncello, and bartenders who know how to make a proper drink.
Come in for an Aperol Spritz before dinner. Order an Espresso Martini after work. Grab a Negroni, Old Fashioned, or Dirty Martini and share a few appetizers at the bar.
You can keep it casual with a beer and truffle fries, or make it a full night with cocktails, wine, handmade pasta, handmade pasta, seafood, and dessert.
Come for happy hour. Stay for dinner. Or just come for the drinks.
Came for happy hour and stayed for dinner. The cocktails were strong, the appetizers were fresh, and the chicken parm was better than my nonna's.

Best happy hour on I-Drive. The Aperol Spritz was perfect, the bruschetta was fresh, and the vibe was exactly what we needed after a long day at the parks.
