“We came straight from the parks with three kids still in park clothes. They didn’t bat an eye. The pasta was incredible and valet made it so easy. Best dinner of our trip.”

Keep reading to learn more about Vincenzo
Extended-stay guests at Element Orlando know that kitchenette cooking gets old fast. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is the kind of Italian restaurant that makes you forget about the grocery run and reminds you what a proper dinner tastes like.
The gnocchi is pillowy and house-made. The carbonara uses real guanciale. The butternut squash ravioli is finished in brown butter and sage. The salmon comes out perfectly every time. This is cooking that takes hours of prep, and it shows on every plate.
For guests staying a week or more, Vincenzo becomes the go-to spot. The menu is deep enough that you can visit three or four times and never repeat an order. Risotto one night, ribeye the next, veal marsala on Wednesday.
Dinner is served nightly from 5 to 10 PM. Every dish is made fresh, and the kitchen never cuts corners regardless of whether it is a Monday or a Saturday.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
The Navarra Group opened Vincenzo in 2014 and has been running it the same way ever since: family-owned, hands-on, and focused on making every guest feel welcome. Extended-stay guests become regulars here faster than anywhere else on I-Drive.
The bartender learns your name. The server remembers your usual. That kind of familiarity does not happen at chains, and it matters when you are away from home for weeks at a time.
With 4,000+ reviews, Vincenzo has built its reputation on consistency. The food is the same quality on a quiet Tuesday as it is on a packed Saturday. That reliability is exactly what long-term visitors need.
No dress code, no pretension. Come straight from the office, from the pool, from wherever your day took you. The restaurant adapts to you, not the other way around.
Hands down the best Italian spot in Orlando. The service was impeccable, the food was absolutely incredible. The lobster ravioli was out of this world.

Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Element Orlando is on International Drive, and Vincenzo is at ICON Park on International Drive. The commute to dinner is almost nonexistent. Complimentary valet parking makes it even simpler.
For extended-stay guests who spend all day in meetings, on job sites, or working remotely, Vincenzo offers a real break from the routine. The atmosphere is warm without being noisy, and the pace lets you unwind instead of rush.
It is casual enough for jeans and a polo but polished enough to bring a client. The dining room strikes that balance naturally, which is part of why business travelers gravitate here.
Walk in on your first week and you are a guest. Walk in on your fourth week and you are a regular. That is the Vincenzo experience for Element guests who discover it early in their stay.
We came after the parks and it was the perfect way to end the day. The gnocchi was unreal and the valet made everything so easy.

The Dishes People Come Back For
Chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. Fettuccine alfredo with jumbo shrimp. Made fresh, every night.
After a long workday, sometimes you just want a good drink and a quiet seat. Vincenzo's full bar pours Negronis, Aperol Spritzes, Espresso Martinis, Italian reds, California whites, and craft cocktails that change with the season.
Happy Hour is Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM. At $4 bottled beers, $7 wines by the glass, and $10 cocktails, it is a better deal than anything at the hotel bar. Wine Down Wednesday adds half-off wines by the glass all evening.
For work events or team dinners during your stay, the Amalfi Room seats 15 to 50 guests with custom Italian menus and AV equipment. Full restaurant buyouts handle groups up to 150.
Whether you are wrapping up a Tuesday with a glass of wine or hosting your department for a milestone dinner, Vincenzo handles both without missing a beat. Over 1,500 private events and counting.
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.

Made the Way It Should Be
Homemade lasagna. Meatballs with San Marzano sauce. The Italian food you remember, done right.
