Recognized by real diners. Handmade Italian on International Drive since 2014.
The OpenTable Diners' Choice award is not handed out. It is earned, dish by dish, night by night, through the consistent experience real diners choose to share when they leave a review. At Vincenzo Cucina Italiana on International Drive, that experience starts in the kitchen.
Housemade pasta rolled and cut fresh every evening. Homemade potato gnocchi served with pomodoro, burrata, and basil oil. Lobster ravioli stuffed with Maine lobster and ricotta, finished in a creamy lobster sauce. These are the dishes that OpenTable diners write about, return for, and recommend to anyone visiting Orlando.
Beyond pasta, Vincenzo serves USDA Prime Black Angus steaks from Creekstone Farms, fresh Florida seafood, chicken parmigiana, veal ossobuco, and a full bar with handcrafted cocktails. Every course is made from scratch in a scratch kitchen that takes Italian cooking seriously.
This is the food that earned the award. And it is waiting for you tonight on International Drive.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at an award-winning Italian looks like.
Vincenzo is locally owned and operated by the Navarra Group, a family with over 33 years of hospitality experience. Since opening on International Drive in 2014, Vincenzo has welcomed locals, visitors, families, convention guests, and travelers from all over the world.
That family history is felt in the way guests are treated. No attitude. No dress code. No pressure. Just great food, warm service, and a restaurant that makes people feel comfortable the moment they walk in.
When OpenTable diners leave reviews mentioning service, they consistently note the attentiveness, the warmth, and the way Vincenzo staff treat every table like it matters. That is not an accident. It is the result of over three decades of hospitality and a team that cares about every guest experience.
The Diners' Choice award is a reflection of that consistency — and a reminder that the best restaurants are built not just on great food, but on people who care.
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.
Located at ICON Park on International Drive, Vincenzo sits in the heart of Orlando's most visited corridor. Whether you are coming from a nearby hotel, Epic Universe, Universal, SeaWorld, or the Orange County Convention Center, Vincenzo is minutes away and easy to reach.
Complimentary valet parking is available every evening, making arrival effortless. From the moment guests step inside, the warm lighting, open kitchen energy, and the aroma of housemade pasta and fresh ingredients set the tone for everything that follows.
Vincenzo is casual enough for vacation clothes and families, but polished enough for date nights, business dinners, and celebrations. There is no dress code and no attitude — just great Italian food and genuine hospitality on one of the most famous restaurant streets in Florida.
In a city full of chains and tourist traps, Vincenzo gives diners something real. That is why OpenTable guests keep choosing it, reviewing it, and recommending it to everyone they know.
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.

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.

The OpenTable Diners' Choice award is determined entirely by guests — people who booked, dined, and chose to share their experience. At Vincenzo, those guests come from all over: locals who make it a regular, tourists who found it on OpenTable, convention attendees looking for real food after a long conference day, and families who wanted something better than a chain.
What they all have in common is the decision to come back. And when they come back, they bring someone new. That cycle of recommendation is how a restaurant earns and keeps an award like Diners' Choice.
Vincenzo has been building that reputation since 2014 — one handmade pasta, one warm welcome, and one unforgettable meal at a time. The award reflects what the kitchen already knew: that doing things right, night after night, is what makes a restaurant worth choosing.
The OpenTable Diners' Choice award is given to restaurants that consistently earn outstanding reviews from verified OpenTable diners. It recognizes exceptional food, service, and overall dining experience based entirely on real guest feedback.
