$4 beer, $7 wine, $10 cocktails. Mon all night, Tue-Fri 5-7. Wine Down Wednesday half-off wines. Walking Distance from Element Hotel.
Element Hotel is built for extended stays, which means your usual dining routine gets old fast. Vincenzo becomes the regular happy hour spot that extended-stay guests return to week after week — a place where the bartender starts to remember your name and your drink.
The full bar pours properly made cocktails that taste nothing like the grab-and-go options near the hotel. The Negroni is measured and stirred. The Espresso Martini is shaken with real espresso and served cold. The wine list spans Italian and California regions with enough variety to try something new every visit.
Extended-stay guests also eat here regularly, and the menu keeps them coming back. The carbonara, the chicken parm, the risotto — each visit can be a different dish without repeating for weeks.
Element Hotel gives you a home base. Vincenzo gives you a neighborhood Italian restaurant worth having in your rotation.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
The Navarra Group has operated Vincenzo on International Drive since 2014, bringing 33 years of hospitality experience to a stretch of road where most restaurants come and go. Element Hotel guests staying for weeks or months need a restaurant they can count on — and Vincenzo has been countable for over a decade.
The atmosphere is casual Italian at its best. No dress code, no reservations needed for small parties, no pressure to order more than you want. Sit at the bar with a glass of wine and a plate of bruschetta on a Tuesday. Come back Friday with a date and order the lobster ravioli and a bottle of Chianti. Both visits feel equally right.
Extended-stay travelers value consistency above all else. They want the same quality every visit, the same warmth from the staff, and the same feeling when they walk through the door. Vincenzo has built its reputation on exactly that.
4,000+ reviews and a family-owned kitchen that treats regulars like family. For Element Hotel guests, that makes Vincenzo the closest thing to a neighborhood spot in a city where they are technically just visiting.
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.
Element Hotel is on International Drive, and Vincenzo sits at ICON Park on the same road. For extended-stay guests who know the area by now, the drive is practically autopilot — straight shot, no turns to remember, no navigation required.
Complimentary valet parks the car every visit. When you are coming to a restaurant multiple times during your stay, that complimentary valet adds up to real convenience over time.
Happy hour starts at 5 PM and runs until 7 PM Tuesday through Friday, all night on Monday. Extended-stay guests learn the schedule quickly and plan their evenings around it.
The routine becomes natural: leave the hotel, drive to ICON Park, hand the keys to valet, sit at the bar, and unwind. Vincenzo becomes part of the extended-stay rhythm in a way most I-Drive restaurants never could.
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.
Element Hotel has a small lounge area. Vincenzo has a full bar with Negronis, Aperol Spritzes, Espresso Martinis, Italian wines, California wines, and craft beers — the kind of bar program that extended-stay guests build their week around.
Happy hour pricing is $4 bottled beers, $7 wines by the glass, and $10 cocktails. Monday all night, Tuesday through Friday 5 to 7 PM. Wine Down Wednesday cuts every glass of wine to half price all evening. When you are staying for weeks, those Wednesday savings become a weekly tradition.
The Amalfi Room accommodates private groups of 15 to 50, and full restaurant buyouts handle 150 or more. Extended-stay guests who need to host a client dinner, a team gathering, or a visiting-family celebration find the private dining option particularly useful.
A regular happy hour spot with real cocktails, real Italian food, and a staff that gets to know you. That is what Vincenzo offers Element Hotel guests who are in Orlando long enough to need one.
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.
Extended-stay guests eat out more than anyone else in Orlando. They need restaurants they can trust, return to, and rely on. Vincenzo has been that restaurant for Element Hotel guests since the day it opened on International Drive in 2014.
Come once for happy hour, come back for dinner the next week, and keep coming until your stay ends. The kitchen opens at 5 PM nightly with complimentary valet, no dress code, and a menu deep enough to explore for months.
Family-owned, locally operated, and backed by 4,000+ reviews. For Element Hotel guests, Vincenzo is not just a restaurant recommendation — it is a weekly habit.
