Looking for a real happy hour on International Drive? Welcome to Vincenzo Cucina Italiana, a family-owned Italian restaurant and bar in the heart of I-Drive, steps from ICON Park.
Enjoy $4 bottled beers, $7 wines by the glass, and $10 cocktails every Monday night from 5 to 10 PM, and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM.
Whether you are meeting friends after work, starting date night, relaxing after the parks, or looking for a better drink than the hotel lobby bar, Vincenzo is the kind of place where you can sit down, order something good, and actually enjoy the evening.
No dress code. No attitude. No chain restaurant feel. Just handcrafted drinks, Italian small bites, warm service, and a bar that makes you want to stay.
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.

Order a few plates to share, start the night with drinks and appetizers, or turn happy hour into dinner.
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.
