A Family-Owned Original on I-Drive

International Drive is dominated by national chains. The same brands you find in every city line the corridor. But if you want something real — a restaurant owned by a family, cooking food made by hand from family recipes — then you want Vincenzo Cucina Italiana at Vue at 360.

The Navarra family has been on International Drive for over 33 years. They were here before most of the chains arrived. Every pasta is made by hand, every day. The steaks are USDA Prime. The sauces are simmered from scratch. And the owner is in the restaurant personally ensuring every guest's experience reflects 33 years of standards.

With a 4.7-star OpenTable rating and over 4,000 reviews, Vincenzo proves that a family-owned restaurant can outperform every chain on I-Drive. Happy hour Tuesday through Friday, all night on Mondays. Wine Down Wednesday. Complimentary valet parking. Private dining for 15 to 50 guests.

Our Story

A Family Tradition, Three Decades Strong

When the Navarra family opened their doors over 33 years ago, they had one simple mission — serve the kind of Italian food that makes people feel something. Not just full, but moved.

The recipes have not been handed to a corporate kitchen. The owner is still here, every night, making sure every plate meets the standard the family set three decades ago.

This is not a franchise. This is a family's life work.
