Make Dinner Part of Your Orlando Vacation

Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa offers families the freedom to enjoy Orlando on their own schedule. Between pool time, resort activities, and visits to nearby attractions, deciding where to eat can be one of the day’s final choices.

Vincenzo Cucina Italiana offers a way to turn dinner into an outing without creating a complicated itinerary. The restaurant’s International Drive location places guests at ICON Park, where dining and nearby entertainment can be enjoyed during the same evening.

Rather than grabbing a quick meal on the way back to the resort, families can settle in for handmade pasta, fresh seafood, or USDA Prime steaks. The menu works well for those who want to make dinner a memorable part of their vacation.

Vincenzo maintains a welcoming atmosphere where casual clothing is perfectly acceptable. Whether you’ve spent the day at the pool or exploring Orlando, dinner can be enjoyable without becoming another activity that requires extensive preparation.

Getting Here

From Westgate Lakes to International Drive

Vincenzo is approximately 3.5 miles from Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa, at 10000 Turkey Lake Road. The estimated journey takes 8–10 minutes, providing a convenient way to venture beyond the resort property.

Follow Turkey Lake Road east toward International Drive, continuing into the area surrounding ICON Park. The drive brings guests into one of Orlando’s best-known visitor districts.

The Orlando StarFlyer is a useful landmark for finding the restaurant. Vincenzo sits directly across from it at 8255 International Drive, Suite 112, allowing guests to locate the destination using either the address or surrounding attraction.

Every evening, complimentary valet parking is offered at the restaurant. Vincenzo is open seven days a week from 5 PM until 10 PM, making it easy to fit a meal into your vacation schedule.

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.

Dinner Before Exploring ICON Park

For families traveling with children, choosing a restaurant near other attractions can make an evening more enjoyable. Vincenzo’s ICON Park location allows visitors to combine an Italian meal with time experiencing the surrounding area.

Parents will appreciate the children’s menu, priced at $13 with a beverage included for ages 10 and under. It’s a practical option when several family members are dining together and everyone has a different appetite.

Adults can enjoy a more leisurely dinner with Italian entrées and craft cocktails while younger guests have their own menu choices. The setting welcomes families without requiring the formalities of a special-occasion restaurant.

Afterward, guests can explore the area around the Orlando StarFlyer and ICON Park before returning to Westgate Lakes. This makes dinner feel like part of the day’s entertainment rather than simply a stop for food.

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.

We stayed nearby and walked over for dinner. Best decision of the trip. The scallop risotto was restaurant-of-the-year good.
