If you’re craving Italian food while staying at Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa, Vincenzo Cucina Italiana offers a convenient escape from the villa kitchen. Located on International Drive, the restaurant brings together handmade pasta, quality ingredients, and an inviting dining experience.
Italian cuisine is an especially appealing choice for families and groups because it offers dishes that feel both comforting and celebratory. A pasta dinner can be a welcome reward after a day spent swimming, sightseeing, or exploring Orlando.
Vincenzo’s menu includes handmade pasta alongside fresh seafood and USDA Prime steaks. This selection gives guests the freedom to enjoy their favorite Italian flavors while accommodating diners who prefer a different main course.
Unlike a formal restaurant requiring guests to dress for the occasion, Vincenzo maintains an approachable atmosphere. The experience feels polished enough for an enjoyable vacation dinner yet relaxed enough for families arriving from a busy day.
Where Every Plate Tells a Story
Hand-rolled gnocchi, slow-simmered sauces, steaks cut fresh daily. Real Italian cooking.
Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa is located at 10000 Turkey Lake Road, while Vincenzo is approximately 3.5 miles away at ICON Park. The estimated travel time is just 8–10 minutes under typical driving conditions.
To reach the restaurant, take Turkey Lake Road east toward International Drive. This connects the resort area with one of Orlando’s most recognizable dining corridors.
Vincenzo occupies a location directly across from the Orlando StarFlyer at 8255 International Drive, Suite 112. Once you reach ICON Park, the nearby attraction makes the restaurant relatively easy to identify.
Complimentary valet service is provided nightly, helping guests arrive without parking concerns. Vincenzo serves dinner every day from 5 PM until 10 PM, allowing families to plan their Italian meal around their vacation activities.
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.

Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Vincenzo reflects the hospitality traditions of the Navarra Group, which has more than 30 years of experience welcoming guests. The restaurant has operated as a family-owned Orlando establishment since 2014.
For many families, sharing an Italian dinner is about more than satisfying an appetite. It’s an opportunity to gather around the table, talk about the day’s adventures, and enjoy a meal without anyone having to cook or clean the villa kitchen.
Parents can enjoy a selection of pasta, seafood, and beef dishes while younger diners explore the children’s menu. The $13 kids menu includes a beverage for guests ages 10 and under.
The welcoming atmosphere makes it easy for families to spend time together without worrying about formal dining expectations. Vincenzo combines an upscale visual setting with the comfortable spirit of an Italian gathering.
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 focuses on Italian cuisine rather than offering a generic selection of unrelated foods. Handmade pasta is central to the menu, supported by additional entrées that give groups plenty of flexibility.
Its independent ownership also provides an alternative to chain restaurants that travelers may already have near home. Dining at Vincenzo allows visitors to experience a restaurant with a specific connection to Orlando.
Over 4,000 combined online reviews provide vacationers with useful perspectives from past diners. Those reviews can help guests evaluate the restaurant before deciding where to spend their evening.
When a homemade villa dinner doesn’t sound appealing, take the short drive to International Drive. Vincenzo makes it easy to turn an ordinary evening at Westgate Lakes into a shared Italian dining experience.
We stayed nearby and walked over for dinner. Best decision of the trip. The scallop risotto was restaurant-of-the-year good.
