$4 beer, $7 wine, $10 cocktails. Mon all night, Tue-Fri 5-7. Wine Down Wednesday half-off wines. Walking Distance from Castle Hotel.
Castle Hotel guests have refined taste — a boutique property demands a matching bar experience. Vincenzo's full bar delivers cocktails with the sophistication the Castle crowd expects, without the attitude that usually comes with it.
The Negroni is built with quality gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth, stirred and served exactly the way it was meant to be. The Espresso Martini uses fresh-pulled espresso and has become one of the most photographed drinks on International Drive. The Aperol Spritz is light, fizzy, and perfect for unwinding after a walk from the Castle to ICON Park.
The food backs up the bar. Handmade pasta, risotto stirred to order, USDA Prime steaks, and homemade tiramisu round out a menu that turns a quick drink into a full evening.
Castle Hotel is walking distance from Vincenzo. The cocktails are worth every step.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
The Navarra Group has run Vincenzo on International Drive since 2014, bringing over 33 years of hospitality experience to every detail — from the cocktail program to the way guests are greeted at the door. Castle Hotel guests notice those details because they are the kind of travelers who pay attention.
There is no dress code, but the atmosphere has a warmth and polish that boutique hotel guests appreciate. The lighting is right. The music is right. The bartender remembers what you ordered and asks if you want the same thing when you come back the next night.
Whether you are a couple looking for pre-dinner cocktails, a solo traveler who wants a seat at the bar and a glass of Barolo, or a group celebrating something special in the Amalfi Room, Vincenzo treats every guest like they chose the right place.
Castle Hotel guests expect quality. Vincenzo has been delivering it consistently for over a decade, and 4,000+ reviews confirm that the expectations are met every night.
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.
Castle Hotel is on International Drive, and Vincenzo is at ICON Park on the same road. The walk takes minutes — a pleasant evening stroll past the ICON Park entertainment district that doubles as a pre-dinner warm-up.
If you prefer to drive, complimentary valet handles everything when you arrive. Either way, getting to Vincenzo from the Castle is effortless, which is exactly what boutique hotel guests want from their evening plans.
The bar opens with dinner service at 5 PM and happy hour runs until 7 PM Tuesday through Friday, all night on Monday. Arrive early for the best seats and the full happy hour pricing before it ends.
The walk back to the Castle after dinner is just as easy — a short stroll along International Drive under the ICON Park lights, perfectly timed with a post-tiramisu espresso.
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.
Castle Hotel does not have a bar that pours handcrafted Negronis, Espresso Martinis, and Aperol Spritzes the way Vincenzo does. The cocktail program here is built for guests who know the difference between a well-made drink and a poured-from-a-gun version.
Happy hour is Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM: $4 bottled beers, $7 wines by the glass, and $10 cocktails. Wine Down Wednesday cuts every glass of wine to half price for the entire evening — Italian, Californian, and everything in between.
The Amalfi Room seats 15 to 50 for private gatherings with custom Italian menus. Full restaurant buyouts accommodate 150 or more. Over 1,500 events have been hosted here, and Castle Hotel guests planning celebrations or group dinners find the process seamless.
Start at the bar with an Aperol Spritz. Stay for bruschetta and lobster ravioli. End with tiramisu and an espresso. That is how Castle Hotel guests do Tuesday nights on International Drive.
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.
