Private Dining Near the Convention Center

Private Dining That Outshines Hotel Restaurants

If you are attending a conference at the Orange County Convention Center and looking for private dining that goes beyond the hotel lobby restaurant, Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is the answer. Located on International Drive at Vue at 360, our restaurant offers something no hotel within walking distance of the OCCC can match: a family-owned Italian kitchen that has been making everything from scratch for over 33 years, combined with a dedicated private dining room that feels nothing like a banquet hall.

The Amalfi Room is Vincenzo's private dining space, seating 15 to 50 guests in a fully enclosed room with its own ambiance, dedicated servers, and a custom menu designed around your group's preferences. Whether you are hosting a client dinner during a trade show, treating your team after a long day on the convention floor, or gathering speakers and VIPs for an exclusive pre-event meal, the Amalfi Room delivers an experience that elevates the entire conference trip.

The Convention Dining Problem — Solved

Convention attendees know the routine: the conference hotel restaurant is crowded, the food is average, and getting a private table for your group requires advance planning that rarely pays off. Restaurants near the OCCC are mostly chains designed for volume, not quality. Vincenzo breaks that pattern entirely.

• ✦ Minutes from the OCCC on International Drive — easy for convention groups
• ✦ Fully enclosed private dining room — real privacy, not a partition
• ✦ From-scratch Italian cuisine — handmade pasta, Prime steaks, fresh seafood
• ✦ 4,000+ reviews — consistently rated Orlando's #1 Italian since 2014
• ✦ Complimentary valet parking — no hunting for spots on I-Drive
• ✦ Wine list with 100+ selections and sommelier-curated pairings
• ✦ AV equipment available for presentations during dinner

A Dining Experience Worth the Short Drive

The difference between private dining at Vincenzo and a hotel restaurant dinner is evident from the moment you arrive. The complimentary valet takes your car at the entrance to Vue at 360. You walk into a warm, elegant restaurant where the host knows your name and guides your group to the Amalfi Room. The door closes, and for the next two to three hours, the space belongs entirely to you.

The food arrives in courses, each one prepared from scratch by our kitchen team. Start with appetizers — perhaps burrata with San Marzano tomatoes, crispy calamari, or our lobster bisque. The pasta course features handmade gnocchi, tortellini, or pappardelle with braised short rib. For the main course, USDA Prime steaks — the 10-ounce filet, 14-ounce New York strip, or 20-ounce ribeye — share the menu with fresh seafood preparations. Dessert includes our signature chocolate torte, tiramisu, and gelato.

Private Dining Packages

All-inclusive packages start at $110 per person, covering a multi-course dinner, beverages, dedicated servers, and room setup. Bar packages begin at $35 per person for 2.5 hours. Our events coordinator handles every detail — dietary accommodations, timing around your conference schedule, custom menus, and any special requests. For groups larger than 50, full restaurant buyouts accommodate 150+ guests.

Perfect for Every Convention Need

Private dining near the convention center serves many purposes beyond the group dinner. Executives use the Amalfi Room for client appreciation dinners that close deals. Sales teams book it for post-conference celebrations after hitting targets. Association boards hold intimate dinners to discuss strategy away from the convention floor noise. Whatever your reason, the combination of genuine privacy, exceptional food, and professional service makes Vincenzo the clear choice over every hotel restaurant and chain steakhouse near the OCCC.
