Vincenzo’s happy hour runs every Monday all evening from 5 PM to 10 PM, giving Royal Pacific guests a full night of discounted drinks to start the week. Tuesday through Friday, happy hour is available from 5 PM to 7 PM, perfectly timed for an early dinner outing.
Pricing is straightforward and welcoming: $4 bottled beer, $7 wine by the glass, and $10 craft cocktails. These specials apply at the bar and at every table, so you can settle in for a full Italian dinner while enjoying happy hour pricing.
The menu brings together handmade pasta, fresh seafood, USDA Prime steaks, and thoughtfully prepared Italian favorites. Rather than focusing on just one type of entrée, Vincenzo offers a varied selection suited to guests with different appetites.
Whether you’re planning dinner after a day at the resort or gathering friends for an evening on International Drive, Vincenzo provides a memorable alternative to remaining on hotel property.
Where Every Plate Tells a Story
Hand-rolled gnocchi, slow-simmered sauces, steaks cut fresh daily. Real Italian cooking.
Loews Royal Pacific Resort sits at 6300 Hollywood Way, surrounded by lush tropical landscaping and the feel of a South Pacific escape. When you’re ready for happy hour beyond Universal property, Vincenzo is just 2.5 miles south on International Drive.
Leaving Grande Lakes, guests can follow Universal Boulevard toward the International Drive entertainment corridor. This convenient route connects the resort area with one of Orlando’s most recognizable dining and attraction districts.
You’ll find Vincenzo at 8255 International Drive, Suite 112, Orlando, FL 32819, at ICON Park. The restaurant sits directly across from the Orlando StarFlyer, making it easy to identify when arriving.
Complimentary valet parking is available every evening, so there’s no circling for a spot. The restaurant opens seven days a week from 5 PM to 10 PM, making it easy to time happy hour with your evening plans.
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.

Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Couples can enjoy handmade pasta and craft cocktails without feeling obligated to dress formally. Vincenzo’s relaxed yet upscale atmosphere makes it a natural choice for vacation dinners.
After the South Pacific atmosphere of Royal Pacific Resort, Vincenzo offers a different kind of escape: warm Italian hospitality, ambient lighting, and a menu built around scratch-made dishes. It’s a welcome change of pace for an evening out.
Families are welcome during happy hour as well. Kids 10 and under have their own $13 menu with a beverage included, so parents can enjoy discounted drinks while everyone eats together comfortably.
The beverage program adds another dimension to the experience, with craft cocktails and wines that complement an Italian dinner. It’s a place where guests can enjoy an entire evening around the table.
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 isn’t another large national restaurant chain. It’s a family-owned Orlando business operated by the Navarra Group, bringing more than 30 years of hospitality experience to its guests.
Vincenzo has been family-owned since 2014, operated by the Navarra Group with more than 30 years of hospitality experience. That heritage shows in the way guests are welcomed and cared for throughout the evening.
There’s no dress code, and shorts are welcome. The philosophy is simple: great Italian food should be enjoyed in a comfortable environment, whether guests are celebrating something special or simply hungry for dinner.
For Royal Pacific guests, it’s a short 10-minute drive to a genuinely different dining experience. Skip the resort restaurants for an evening and discover what independent Italian dining on International Drive has to offer.
We stayed nearby and walked over for dinner. Best decision of the trip. The scallop risotto was restaurant-of-the-year good.
