Royal Pacific Resort attracts corporate travelers, family reunions, and groups visiting Universal Orlando. When your group needs a private dining experience beyond the hotel, Vincenzo offers an independent Italian alternative just 10 minutes away.
The Amalfi Room accommodates 15 to 50 guests for fully private events, complete with dedicated service, customizable Italian menus, and AV support for presentations or slideshows.
The menu brings together handmade pasta, fresh seafood, USDA Prime steaks, and thoughtfully prepared Italian favorites. Rather than focusing on just one type of entrée, Vincenzo offers a varied selection suited to guests with different appetites.
Whether you’re planning dinner after a day at the resort or gathering friends for an evening on International Drive, Vincenzo provides a memorable alternative to remaining on hotel property.
Where Every Plate Tells a Story
Hand-rolled gnocchi, slow-simmered sauces, steaks cut fresh daily. Real Italian cooking.
Royal Pacific Resort is at 6300 Hollywood Way within the Universal Orlando complex. Vincenzo is just 2.5 miles south on International Drive — about 10 minutes by car, making it convenient for group transportation.
Leaving Grande Lakes, guests can follow Universal Boulevard toward the International Drive entertainment corridor. This convenient route connects the resort area with one of Orlando’s most recognizable dining and attraction districts.
You’ll find Vincenzo at 8255 International Drive, Suite 112, Orlando, FL 32819, at ICON Park. The restaurant sits directly across from the Orlando StarFlyer, making it easy to identify when arriving.
Complimentary valet parking accommodates groups arriving by car, eliminating the challenge of coordinating parking for multiple vehicles. The restaurant is open seven days a week from 5 PM to 10 PM.
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.

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.

Dishes That Define Vincenzo
Ossobuco over saffron risotto. Lobster ravioli in cream sauce. The plates that built our reputation.
Vincenzo isn’t another large national restaurant chain. It’s a family-owned Orlando business operated by the Navarra Group, bringing more than 30 years of hospitality experience to its guests.
With over 4,000 combined reviews across Google, OpenTable, Yelp, and TripAdvisor, event planners can trust the quality and consistency of the experience. Many reviews specifically mention private events and group dinners.
There’s no dress code, and shorts are welcome. The philosophy is simple: great Italian food should be enjoyed in a comfortable environment, whether guests are celebrating something special or simply hungry for dinner.
The Amalfi Room for intimate groups, semi-private space for mid-size gatherings, or full restaurant buyout for up to 150 — Vincenzo has the flexibility to match your event’s size and style.
We stayed nearby and walked over for dinner. Best decision of the trip. The scallop risotto was restaurant-of-the-year good.
