“Three conventions in Orlando and this is always where our group ends up. The private room is ideal for business and the food puts hotel restaurants to shame.”
Dr. Karen Mitchell, Chicago · Google
The Menu
Housemade pasta, steaks, seafood, chicken parmigiana, lasagna, cocktails, wine, desserts, and a kids menu — all served in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Convention days end between 5 and 6 PM. The hotel lobby bar fills instantly. The prices are hotel prices. The drinks are hotel drinks. Vincenzo offers a different ending to that same day.
Four minutes north on International Drive, Vincenzo's full bar serves happy hour Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday 5 to 7 PM. The pricing is straightforward: $4 domestic and craft beers, $7 wines by the glass, $10 cocktails. No hotel markup.
The Espresso Martini is the most popular post-convention cocktail. Made with freshly pulled espresso, it provides the caffeine boost for the evening ahead and the sophistication to match the atmosphere.
For groups buying rounds, the math is simple. A table of six gets a round of cocktails for $60. At the Hyatt bar, that same round costs twice as much.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
Convention schedules are predictable. Monday is arrival. Tuesday is the grind. Wednesday is when people start looking for something worth talking about. Wine Down Wednesday at Vincenzo gives them exactly that.
Half-off wines by the glass means convention groups can explore the Italian wine list without hesitation. Barolos from Piedmont, Brunellos from Montalcino, Chiantis from Tuscany, Pinot Grigios from Veneto. Each glass tells a story about where it came from.
The wine list also includes California selections for those who prefer domestic options. The bartender is happy to guide groups through the list based on preferences and food pairings.
Wine Down Wednesday pairs naturally with dinner. Groups that start with a glass of Chianti often end with a shared tiramisu and a bottle of Prosecco.
Our leadership dinner for 30 was handled beautifully. Three courses, wine pairings, and a presentation setup. The filet mignon was the best any of us had all year.

Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
An Aperol Spritz tastes different when it is made with care in a proper Italian restaurant. The prosecco is cold, the Aperol is measured precisely, the soda water has just the right amount of fizz. At Vincenzo, the bartenders understand that cocktails are not afterthoughts.
The Negroni is classic and properly bitter. The Limoncello Martini is a Florida crowd-pleaser. The Old Fashioned is bourbon-forward with a touch of Italian orange. Each cocktail reflects the restaurant's approach to everything: simple, done correctly, with quality ingredients.
Bar seating is available for solo travelers and pairs who want the casual energy of the bar area. Convention attendees eating alone find the bar comfortable and welcoming.
Groups of six or more can reserve space in advance. Call (407) 745-4030 to plan a post-convention happy hour for your team.
Found this gem during the IT convention. Four of us came for happy hour, stayed for dinner, and ended up closing out the bar. Best evening of the trip by far.

The Dishes People Come Back For
Chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. Fettuccine alfredo with jumbo shrimp. Made fresh, every night.
The transition from happy hour to dinner happens naturally at Vincenzo. The cocktail menu transitions to the wine list. The bar nibbles give way to lobster ravioli and filet mignon. The conversation deepens as the evening unfolds.
Many Hyatt Regency guests arrive planning to have one drink and end up staying for a three-course dinner. The menu is designed for exactly this kind of evening — shareable appetizers, hearty pastas, prime steaks, and desserts worth saving room for.
The kitchen opens at 5 PM and serves until 10 PM. There is no rush. Convention schedules are rigid; dinner at Vincenzo is not.
Happy hour pricing applies to drinks only. The full dinner menu is available throughout the evening at regular prices.
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.
Every convention has a night-one mistake. Someone suggests the hotel bar. The drinks are expensive. The atmosphere is sterile. The food is mediocre. By night two, the group is searching for alternatives.
Vincenzo is that alternative. Four minutes from the Hyatt Regency, a full bar with real pricing, a kitchen that makes everything from scratch, and an atmosphere that makes the evening feel like it matters.
Reserve on OpenTable. Call (407) 745-4030. Walk in and grab a seat at the bar. Happy hour starts at 5 PM.
