“We took our parents here for their anniversary. They grew up eating Italian in Newark. They said this was the closest they have felt to home in years.”

After a full day at Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa, sometimes a change of scenery is exactly what you need. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana offers Happy Hour specials in an inviting Italian restaurant setting, making it easy to plan an evening away from the resort.
Monday is a particularly convenient day to visit because Happy Hour runs from 5 PM until 10 PM. Guests can enjoy the specials throughout the restaurant’s regular Monday dinner service rather than rushing to arrive during a short window.
From Tuesday through Friday, Happy Hour runs between 5 PM and 7 PM. The specials include $4 bottled beer, $7 wine, and $10 cocktails, offering several choices for adults looking to start their evening with a drink.
Vincenzo also serves a full Italian dinner menu during its evening hours. Guests can begin with Happy Hour and continue into dinner, choosing from handmade pasta, fresh seafood, or USDA Prime steaks.
Where Every Plate Tells a Story
Hand-rolled gnocchi, slow-simmered sauces, steaks cut fresh daily. Real Italian cooking.
Vincenzo is about 3.5 miles from Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa, with an estimated driving time of 8–10 minutes. That proximity is helpful for guests planning to arrive before the weekday Happy Hour period ends at 7 PM.
The route follows Turkey Lake Road east toward International Drive. Travelers can leave the Westgate Lakes property and head toward ICON Park for a different dining atmosphere.
Look for the Orlando StarFlyer when approaching the restaurant’s location. Vincenzo is directly across from this attraction at ICON Park, with its entrance at 8255 International Drive, Suite 112.
Complimentary valet parking is available every evening, adding convenience for the designated driver. The restaurant opens daily from 5 PM to 10 PM, including Saturday and Sunday, although the advertised Happy Hour specials are scheduled for Monday through Friday.
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.
Guests who enjoy wine have another reason to visit on Wednesday. Wine Down Wednesday offers half off wines by the glass throughout the evening, from 5 PM until 10 PM.
For couples staying in a Westgate Lakes villa, a visit to Vincenzo can provide a welcome alternative to another evening spent indoors. A cocktail and a restaurant-prepared dinner offer a simple way to enjoy time together away from the resort.
Friends traveling together can gather over drinks while exploring the menu for dinner. The restaurant’s upscale yet casual atmosphere works well for both a spontaneous evening and a planned get-together.
There’s no need to change into formal clothing before visiting. Vincenzo welcomes guests in shorts and other casual attire, making the transition from a day of vacation activities to dinner particularly easy.
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 has been family-owned since 2014 and is operated by the Navarra Group, which brings over 30 years of hospitality experience to the restaurant. That local history adds character to an evening on International Drive.
Unlike a destination focused exclusively on drinks, Vincenzo allows visitors to enjoy Happy Hour as part of an Italian dinner. Guests can relax over a beverage before exploring the restaurant’s full food menu.
The ICON Park location also gives the evening a sense of place. Instead of staying within the same resort surroundings, guests can experience another recognizable part of Orlando.
If you’re planning a Happy Hour outing from Westgate Lakes, Vincenzo offers transparent specials, complimentary evening valet, and a comfortable Italian dining environment only a short drive from the resort.
We stayed nearby and walked over for dinner. Best decision of the trip. The scallop risotto was restaurant-of-the-year good.
