If you’re searching for Happy Hour near The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes, Vincenzo Cucina Italiana offers an inviting alternative to spending the entire evening at the resort. Located on International Drive, the restaurant combines drink specials with the comfort of an independent Italian dining destination.
Monday is an especially attractive option because Happy Hour runs throughout dinner service, from 5 PM until 10 PM. Whether you arrive early or prefer a later dinner reservation, the Monday specials remain available during those hours.
From Tuesday through Friday, Happy Hour is offered between 5 PM and 7 PM. Specials include $4 bottled beer, $7 wine, and $10 cocktails, giving guests several ways to start their evening.
Vincenzo’s Happy Hour is also an opportunity to explore the restaurant’s Italian menu. Handmade pasta, fresh seafood, and USDA Prime steaks are available for guests who want to continue into a full dinner experience.
Where Every Plate Tells a Story
Hand-rolled gnocchi, slow-simmered sauces, steaks cut fresh daily. Real Italian cooking.
The drive from The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes to Vincenzo is approximately 5.7 miles, with an estimated travel time of 17 minutes via Universal Boulevard. Plan around the earlier arrival window if you’re visiting for weekday Happy Hour.
Universal Boulevard connects the Grande Lakes area with International Drive, making Vincenzo accessible without traveling across the entire Orlando metropolitan area. Traffic may affect the exact arrival time.
At ICON Park, the Orlando StarFlyer serves as the easiest landmark to recognize. Vincenzo is positioned directly across from it at 8255 International Drive, Suite 112.
Complimentary evening valet parking means your visit can begin without a lengthy search for parking. Once inside, settle in for Happy Hour or stay for dinner during Vincenzo’s regular 5 PM to 10 PM service.
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.

Black Angus from Creekstone Farms
Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Wednesday brings a separate reason to visit: Wine Down Wednesday. Guests can enjoy half off wines by the glass throughout the evening, from 5 PM to 10 PM.
For those who prefer cocktails, Vincenzo offers a craft cocktail program alongside its Italian cuisine. The $10 Happy Hour cocktail specials create an appealing option during qualifying Happy Hour periods.
Groups of friends can enjoy conversation over drinks before deciding whether to order dinner. Vincenzo’s relaxed atmosphere makes it comfortable to transition from the bar experience to a seated Italian meal.
Travelers who don’t want to dress up after a full day of activities will appreciate the no-dress-code policy. The surroundings maintain an upscale feel while letting guests arrive in casual clothing.
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.
Vincenzo brings together two experiences that often require separate destinations: appealing drink specials and a substantial Italian dinner menu. Guests don’t need to leave for another restaurant once Happy Hour ends.
The family-owned business has operated since 2014 and benefits from the Navarra Group’s more than 30 years of hospitality experience. Its independence adds character to an evening out on International Drive.
Unlike a Happy Hour stop chosen only for price, Vincenzo gives visitors a recognizable ICON Park location, comfortable dining atmosphere, and complimentary valet service. Those conveniences matter when planning an evening away from Grande Lakes.
For Ritz-Carlton guests wanting to explore Orlando’s Happy Hour options, Monday’s extended schedule and the weekday 5 PM to 7 PM specials make Vincenzo particularly worth considering.
We stayed nearby and walked over for dinner. Best decision of the trip. The scallop risotto was restaurant-of-the-year good.
