Loews Sapphire Falls Resort brings a tropical, island-inspired feeling to a Universal Orlando vacation. Guests who enjoy its laid-back environment may also appreciate discovering a different location for an evening drink and Italian dinner outside the hotel.
Vincenzo Cucina Italiana offers Happy Hour specials in the setting of a family-owned Italian restaurant at ICON Park. Rather than focusing solely on beverages, Vincenzo allows guests to pair their favorite drinks with a complete Italian dinner.
Monday Happy Hour runs all evening from 5–10 PM. On Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, Happy Hour takes place from 5–7 PM, with specials including $4 bottled beer, $7 wine, and $10 cocktails.
Wednesday also features Wine Down Wednesday, with half off wines by the glass all evening from 5–10 PM. This provides a separate opportunity for guests who enjoy wine and want to plan an Italian dinner around a weekday special.
Where Every Plate Tells a Story
Hand-rolled gnocchi, slow-simmered sauces, steaks cut fresh daily. Real Italian cooking.
Loews Sapphire Falls Resort is at 6601 Adventure Way, Orlando, FL 32819. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is situated approximately 2.9 miles away at 8255 International Drive, Suite 112, Orlando, FL 32819.
The estimated drive is around 11 minutes using International Drive. This convenient connection makes it easy for resort guests to venture out for Happy Hour without committing to an extended trip across Orlando.
The restaurant is at ICON Park, directly across from the Orlando StarFlyer. Visitors can also recognize the Orlando Eye, which serves as another landmark in the surrounding International Drive entertainment district.
Complimentary valet parking is provided every evening. Vincenzo operates from 5–10 PM seven days a week, although Happy Hour pricing is available only during the specified weekday periods.
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.
An enjoyable Happy Hour can become the beginning of an entire evening. At Vincenzo, guests can relax with wine, beer, or a craft cocktail before exploring handmade pasta, fresh seafood, or USDA Prime steaks.
Couples staying at Sapphire Falls may choose the restaurant for a comfortable evening away from the tropical resort setting. The Italian atmosphere creates a contrast to the hotel’s Caribbean-inspired surroundings while still offering the welcoming, relaxed feeling vacationers appreciate.
Families can also join the dinner experience. Vincenzo is family-friendly and offers a $13 kids menu with a beverage for children ages 10 and under, so parents can enjoy an evening meal without choosing a separate restaurant for younger guests.
Guests holding eligible theme park admission can inquire about 10% off with a Universal Studios or Epic Universe ticket or valid annual pass. Show your qualifying ticket or annual pass when dining, and confirm applicable terms with the restaurant.
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.

We stayed nearby and walked over for dinner. Best decision of the trip. The scallop risotto was restaurant-of-the-year good.
