Authentic Italian on International Drive

When you search for Italian near you in Orlando, you are going to see a lot of chain restaurants. Olive Garden, Carrabba's, Maggiano's. They all have their place, but if you want real Italian food made by a real Italian family, Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is where you need to be. The Navarra family has been running this restaurant since 1991, and they make the pasta fresh in-house every single day.

That is not a marketing line. The kitchen crew starts early each afternoon rolling, cutting, and shaping fettuccine, pappardelle, ravioli, and gnocchi by hand. When your plate arrives at the table, you can taste the difference. There is a texture and freshness to handmade pasta that no dried box from a distributor can match.

Italian dining at Vincenzo Cucina Italiana Orlando

Located at Vue at 360 on International Drive near ICON Park, Vincenzo is one of Orlando's favorite Italian restaurants with over 4,000 reviews and a 4.7-star average. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming. You will see families, couples, tourists, and locals all dining together in a space that feels alive without being loud.

Beyond the pasta, the menu includes USDA Prime steaks, fresh seafood like Chilean sea bass and lobster ravioli, Italian appetizers like burrata and carpaccio, and house-made desserts including tiramisu. A full bar and Italian wine list round out the experience. We are open seven days a week for dinner, 5 PM to 10 PM.

What Makes Vincenzo Different from the Chains

More Than Just Pasta

Vincenzo is a complete Italian restaurant. Start with burrata drizzled in olive oil, or try the beef carpaccio. Move into a handmade pasta course or go straight to a USDA Prime filet mignon or bone-in ribeye. If you prefer seafood, the Chilean sea bass and lobster ravioli are guest favorites. Our full bar serves craft cocktails, Negronis, and Italian wines by the glass or bottle.

Happy hour runs Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM with $10 cocktails. On Mondays, happy hour runs all night. It is one of the best deals on International Drive, and it turns an already great dinner into a full evening out.
