Handmade pasta, steaks, seafood on I-Drive — 15-20 minutes from Disney's Hollywood Studios. Full bar. Happy hour. Complimentary valet.
Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is an Italian restaurant on International Drive — about 15-20 minutes from Disney's Hollywood Studios — and it is the kind of place where the food speaks for itself.
The kitchen makes everything from scratch: handmade pasta, homemade potato gnocchi, fresh-rolled lasagna, slow-braised veal ossobuco, and homemade desserts including tiramisu that guests rave about in reviews. For steak lovers, USDA Black Angus Prime cuts from Creekstone Farms are served every night — filet mignon, NY strip, bone-in ribeye.
Seafood is treated with the same care: Chilean sea bass, Faroe Island salmon, fresh grouper, jumbo scallops, lobster ravioli, linguine frutti di mare. The menu is built for guests who want a real Italian meal — not a version of one.
This is what an Italian restaurant near Hollywood Studios looks like when it is done right.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
Vincenzo is owned and operated by the Navarra Group, a family with over 33 years of hospitality experience. This is not a corporate chain with a standardized menu. It is a restaurant with a real family behind it, real recipes, and real pride in what comes out of the kitchen every night.
Since opening on International Drive in 2014, Vincenzo has become the kind of Italian restaurant that guests seek out trip after trip. No dress code. No attitude. Shorts, sneakers, and families are all welcome. Upscale vibes, casual comfort. That is the Vincenzo standard.
Kids are welcome, date nights are at home here, and private dining is available for groups who want something special. Whatever the occasion, the experience stays the same: warm, personal, and built around great food.
The best Italian we've had in years. Handmade gnocchi, great cocktails, the staff made us feel like regulars even on our first visit. This is the Italian restaurant Orlando needs.

Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Disney's Hollywood Studios to Vincenzo: take I-4 East toward International Drive, then follow signs to ICON Park. Total drive time is about 15-20 minutes. Complimentary valet handles parking the moment you arrive.
Vincenzo sits at 8255 International Drive, Suite 112, in the heart of Orlando's most visited corridor — surrounded by hotels, major attractions, and the Orange County Convention Center. The location makes it ideal for park guests, convention attendees, hotel guests, and locals alike.
After Hollywood Studios, I-Drive is a natural landing spot. And when you are already on I-Drive, there is no reason to settle for a chain when Vincenzo is right there — a scratch kitchen, a full bar, complimentary valet, and a dining room that makes the evening feel complete.
We drove over from the Disney area and it was completely worth it. The valet took care of everything and the food was exceptional. The lobster ravioli is a must.

The Dishes People Come Back For
Chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. Fettuccine alfredo with jumbo shrimp. Made fresh, every night.
A real Italian restaurant needs a real bar. Vincenzo delivers: handcrafted cocktails, Italian wines, California wines, beer, Negronis, Aperol Spritzes, Espresso Martinis — the full range, every night from 5 PM.
Happy Hour is Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday 5 to 7 PM: $4 bottled beers, $7 wines by the glass, $10 cocktails. Wine Down Wednesday adds half-off wines all night. It is a great reason to arrive early and take the edge off the day before dinner.
Private dining is available in the Amalfi Room for 15 to 50 guests, semi-private dining for 15 to 28, outdoor seating for 14 to 20, and full restaurant buyouts for up to 140. Custom Italian menus, AV options, and event coordination make Vincenzo a natural choice for birthday parties, rehearsal dinners, corporate events, and group dinners near the parks.
Incredible happy hour, incredible food. This is what an Italian restaurant on I-Drive should look like. We had the gnocchi and the filet and both were unreal.
