Restaurants Near Lake Buena Vista

Lake Buena Vista Visitors Deserve Better Than Hotel Food

Lake Buena Vista is where a huge portion of Orlando's visitors stay. The hotels are convenient to the theme parks, the location is central, and there are restaurants within walking distance of most resorts. But most of those restaurants are chains: the same Olive Garden, the same Chili's, the same menus you can get anywhere in the country. If you are in Orlando for a special trip, your dinner should reflect that.

Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is about 10-15 minutes from the Lake Buena Vista hotel corridor, located at Vue at 360 on International Drive. The short drive brings you to a family-owned Italian restaurant where the pasta is handmade every morning, the steaks are USDA Prime, and the seafood is delivered fresh daily. It is a different experience from anything you will find in the hotel district.

Worth the Short Drive

The area around Lake Buena Vista has a lot of convenient options, but convenience and quality are two different things. Vincenzo has been cooking Italian food from scratch since 1991. The Navarra family runs the kitchen personally. The Lobster Ravioli at $44 is handmade pasta filled with sweet lobster. The 20-ounce Bone-In Ribeye at $80 is USDA Prime, the same quality you would find at steakhouses charging significantly more. The Chilean Sea Bass and Florida Grouper are both delivered fresh, never frozen.

4,000+ reviews and a 4.7-star average tell the story. People drive from Lake Buena Vista, Kissimmee, Dr. Phillips, and all over Central Florida to eat here. The complimentary valet parking when you arrive means the drive is worth it, and the hassle factor is zero.
