“We tried Vincenzo on our last night in Orlando and immediately wished we had gone sooner. The chicken marsala was the best I have ever had. Next trip, this is night one.”

The Menu
These are the dishes that made Vincenzo famous. Every one handmade, every night. If you only eat here once, make it count.
The dishes you have to try at Vincenzo
Orlando is full of restaurants. Hundreds of them. You could eat somewhere different every night for a year and never repeat. But most of those meals would be forgettable. Chains you can find back home. Tourist traps with big signs and small flavor.
Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is the exception. A family-owned scratch kitchen at ICON Park on International Drive that has been making everything from scratch since 2014. Over 4,000 reviews. A 4.7 rating. The kind of restaurant that turns a regular dinner into the highlight of your trip.
The difference is in the kitchen. Handmade pasta, hand-rolled meatballs, fresh sauces, homemade desserts. Nothing pre-made. Nothing frozen. Nothing from a corporate recipe book. Just real Italian food cooked with care by a family with over 30 years of experience.
If you are in Orlando for a week, eat here at least once. If you are here for a weekend, make it your one nice dinner. If you live here, you probably already know.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night.
Number one: the lobster ravioli. Handmade ravioli stuffed with lobster and ricotta, topped with Maine lobster meat in a creamy lobster sauce. This is the dish that people build their entire dinner around. $44 and worth every cent.
Number two: the chicken marsala. Hormone-free chicken scaloppine, portobello mushrooms, marsala truffle sauce, mashed potatoes, and sauteed broccolini. This is the comfort dish. The one locals order every time. $27.
Number three: the lasagna. Beef bolognese, mozzarella, parmigiano, ricotta, bechamel, and pomodoro. Classic comfort. $24. Number four: the homemade gnocchi with pomodoro, burrata, and basil oil. Pillowy, light, and addictive. $30.
Number five: the homemade tiramisu. Lady fingers dipped in espresso, mascarpone cream. This is the dessert people talk about in reviews, post on social media, and come back for. $13. Do not skip it.

Black Angus from Creekstone Farms
Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides.
The food alone puts Vincenzo on the must-try list. But the full experience is what makes it unforgettable. Located at ICON Park on International Drive, the restaurant has a warm, inviting atmosphere with dark tones and candlelight.
Complimentary valet parking means you skip the stress of finding a spot. Walk in, sit down, start with a cocktail. The bar serves handcrafted espresso martinis, Aperol Spritzes, Negronis, Italian wines, and more.
No dress code. Shorts welcome. Park clothes welcome. Kids welcome — $13 kids menu with beverage included. This is casual Italian with upscale vibes.
Happy hour runs Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday 5 to 7 PM. $4 beer, $7 wine, $10 cocktails, and 30% off select appetizers. Wine Down Wednesday is half off wines by the glass all night.
The lobster ravioli is a must. I have been to Orlando five times and this is the only restaurant I go back to every single trip.

The Dishes People Come Back For
Chicken parmigiana, fettuccine alfredo, and more. Made fresh, every night.
Tourists put Vincenzo on their itinerary because the reviews are impossible to ignore. Locals keep it as their go-to Italian spot because the quality never drops. Convention guests book it for business dinners because the Amalfi Room delivers.
The Amalfi Room seats 15 to 50 guests with custom event menus from $59 per person and bar packages from $28 per person. Over 1,500 events hosted since 2014. Semi-private dining for up to 25. Full restaurant buyout for up to 150.
Catering is available too — half trays serving 8-10 and full trays serving 16-20, with a $200 minimum. The same scratch kitchen quality, packaged for your event.
And if you have an Epic Universe ticket, show it for 10% off your meal. One more reason to make Vincenzo your must-try restaurant in Orlando.
If you skip this restaurant, you are making a mistake. The tiramisu alone justifies the visit. The fact that everything else is incredible is just a bonus.
