Travelers exploring South International Drive often visit Orlando for SeaWorld, the Orange County Convention Center, and the many resorts along the southern tourism corridor. For guests who want to experience an independent Italian restaurant, Vincenzo Cucina Italiana offers a dining destination farther north on International Drive at ICON Park.
The family-owned restaurant serves traditional Italian specialties, seafood, USDA Prime beef, and cocktails in an atmosphere that feels welcoming rather than overly formal. A dinner visit provides an opportunity to explore another section of the International Drive district.
Begin with Meatballs Polenta. Chicken Piccata offers a savory chicken entrée with lemon butter, capers, and artichokes. Lobster Ravioli for seafood pasta. Limoncello Cake for dessert. Approximately 1.8 miles from the Orange County Convention Center.
Exploring the full International Drive corridor opens the door to independent restaurants that offer a different experience from the surrounding resort dining scene.

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.
