Restaurants Near Aquatica Orlando

From Water Park to Real Dinner

Aquatica is one of Orlando's best water parks. You spend the day racing down slides, floating the lazy river, and soaking up the Florida sun. By late afternoon, you are sunburned, starving, and in need of an actual meal. The food inside the park is fine for lunch, but it is not dinner. For dinner, you need to get to International Drive.

Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is a short drive from Aquatica, right on I-Drive at Vue at 360. The Navarra family has been running this restaurant since 1991, and they have built a reputation on handmade pasta, USDA Prime steaks, and fresh-delivered seafood. It is the kind of restaurant where the food is made from scratch and the staff makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in.

Refuel with Something Real

After burning calories all day on water slides, your body is telling you to eat something substantial. Vincenzo delivers. The Lasagna at $24 is comfort food done right. The Short Rib Pappardelle at $34 is rich and satisfying. If you want to go big, the 20-ounce Bone-In Ribeye at $80 is USDA Prime and worth every penny. And for something lighter, the Faroe Island Salmon at $39 or the Scallop Risotto at $41 hit the spot without weighing you down.

The restaurant also has a full bar with craft cocktails and an Italian wine list that has been curated over decades. After a day in the sun, a glass of Chianti or a well-made cocktail is exactly what the moment calls for.
