The Best Dinner Near the OCCC
If you are attending a conference, trade show, or expo at the Orange County Convention Center, you already know the dining situation. Hotel restaurants are predictable. Convention center food courts are forgettable. And the chain restaurants lining International Drive are exactly what you would expect. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana offers something completely different — an award-winning Italian restaurant just minutes up International Drive from the OCCC, serving handmade pasta, USDA Prime steaks, and fresh seafood in an elegant, intimate setting.
Located at Vue at 360, right next to ICON Park, Vincenzo has been voted Orlando's #1 Italian restaurant every year since 2014. For convention attendees tired of mediocre dinners, this is the restaurant that changes your evening.

Group Dinners and Corporate Events
The Amalfi Room is Vincenzo's dedicated private dining space, and it has become one of the most popular choices for Convention Center group dinners. The room seats 15 to 50 guests in an enclosed, private setting — completely separate from the main dining room. All-inclusive packages start at $110 per person and include multi-course Italian menus with options for dietary restrictions, wine pairings, and custom timing.
We have hosted dinners for pharmaceutical conferences, tech summits, medical conventions, and corporate retreats. Our events team handles everything from menu planning to table arrangements, leaving you free to focus on your guests. AV equipment is available for presentations, and the space works equally well for seated dinners and cocktail-style receptions.
After a Long Day of Sessions
Even if you are not planning a group dinner, Vincenzo is worth the short drive from the Convention Center for a solo meal or dinner with colleagues. After a full day of exhibitions, keynotes, and networking, you deserve more than room service or a quick bite at a fast-casual chain. Settle into our bar for happy hour — Tuesday through Friday, 5 to 7 PM — and let the day's stress melt away with a craft Negroni and fresh bruschetta.
Monday happy hour runs all night, and Wednesday brings Wine Down night with half off wines by the glass. These are the kinds of evenings that make a business trip feel less like work.
