Stella Nova Resort is brand new, and so is the sense of discovery that comes with an Epic Universe trip. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana adds to that experience with handmade Italian food served nightly from 5 to 10 PM at ICON Park on International Drive.
The pappardelle ragu is slow-braised and served over wide ribbons of fresh pasta. The grouper is pan-roasted with cherry tomatoes, capers, and white wine. The butternut squash ravioli is finished in brown butter and sage. Every dish is built from scratch by a kitchen that has been perfecting these recipes since 2014.
For guests coming off a day of new rides and new worlds, the menu at Vincenzo feels like a reward. USDA Prime steaks, fresh seafood, homemade desserts, and a full bar make it the kind of dinner that turns a good vacation day into a great one.
Stella Nova is about exploring something new. Vincenzo is about finding something you will want to come back to.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
The Navarra family opened Vincenzo over a decade ago with the belief that great Italian food should feel accessible, not exclusive. Over 33 years of hospitality shaped that approach, and today, with more than 4,000 reviews, the formula has proven itself.
Stella Nova guests are here to explore. Vincenzo welcomes that energy with open arms and zero pretension. There is no dress code. Kids have their own menu. The staff treats first-time visitors with the same warmth as regulars.
The owner is often in the building. The kitchen is visible. The bread is fresh. These small details add up to a dining experience that feels personal in a way that hotel restaurants and chains cannot replicate.
Everything at Epic Universe is new. Vincenzo is the restaurant nearby that already has history, heart, and a track record that speaks for itself.
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.
Stella Nova Resort is part of the new Epic Universe campus, and Vincenzo is located at ICON Park on International Drive, a quick drive through the I-Drive corridor. Complimentary valet parking means you do not waste a minute of your evening searching for a spot.
The ICON Park location puts Vincenzo near Universal, SeaWorld, the Convention Center, and all the major hotels along International Drive. After a day exploring Epic Universe, the drive to dinner is short and the destination is worth it.
The dining room works for every guest: families in park clothes, couples on date night, groups celebrating milestones. Vincenzo is polished without being stuffy, casual without cutting corners.
Stella Nova guests who venture out for dinner at Vincenzo consistently say it was one of the best decisions of the trip. The food, the location, and the ease of the experience make it a natural fit for Epic Universe visitors.
We came after Epic Universe and it was the perfect way to end the day. The gnocchi was unreal and the valet made everything so easy.

The Dishes People Come Back For
Chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. Fettuccine alfredo with jumbo shrimp. Made fresh, every night.
After a day of discovering new worlds, the bar at Vincenzo brings you back to reality with a Negroni, an Espresso Martini, or a glass of Italian wine. The full bar also pours Aperol Spritzes, craft cocktails, beer, and a California wine list worth exploring.
Happy Hour welcomes the post-park crowd: Monday all night, Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM. Prices are $4 bottled beers, $7 wines by the glass, and $10 cocktails. Wine Down Wednesday brings half-off wines by the glass all evening.
Traveling with a larger group? The Amalfi Room accommodates 15 to 50 guests for private celebrations, family gatherings, and group dinners. Full restaurant buyouts handle 150 or more. Custom menus, AV options, and complimentary valet come standard.
Your first Epic Universe trip deserves a dinner to match. Whether it is cocktails at the bar or a private event in the Amalfi Room, Vincenzo handles the evening while you handle the memories.
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.
