Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort offers affordable accommodations with a fun retro atmosphere. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana extends that value-conscious approach with happy hour pricing on drinks at an Italian restaurant just 12 minutes away.
Monday happy hour runs all evening from 5–10 PM. Tuesday through Friday, happy hour is available from 5–7 PM. Pricing includes $4 bottled beer, $7 wine by the glass, and $10 craft cocktails.
Wine Down Wednesday adds another weekly special: half off all wines by the glass, all night long. This makes midweek dinners an especially good time to visit Vincenzo from Cabana Bay.
The full Italian dinner menu is available during happy hour, so guests can combine drink specials with handmade pasta, fresh seafood, USDA Prime steaks, and Italian favorites prepared from scratch.
Where Every Plate Tells a Story
Hand-rolled gnocchi, slow-simmered sauces, steaks cut fresh daily. Real Italian cooking.
Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort is located at 6550 Adventure Way, Orlando, FL 32819. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is approximately 3.0 miles away at 8255 International Drive, Suite 112, Orlando, FL 32819.
The drive generally takes around 12 minutes via International Drive, depending on traffic. Arriving by 5 PM on Tuesday through Friday ensures you catch the start of happy hour pricing.

Complimentary valet parking is offered every evening, and the restaurant is open seven days a week from 5–10 PM. Happy hour runs Monday all night, Tuesday through Friday 5–7 PM.
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.

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.

We stayed nearby and walked over for dinner. Best decision of the trip. The scallop risotto was restaurant-of-the-year good.
