“Aventura is our go-to resort but Vincenzo is our go-to dinner. The veal marsala and a glass of Montepulciano is the perfect end to a park day.”

Aventura Hotel Universal is a sleek, modern resort that attracts tech-savvy travelers and value-conscious families. The hotel's dining options are serviceable but limited. For a dinner worth remembering, the answer is Vincenzo.
Five to eight minutes south on International Drive, Vincenzo serves the kind of Italian food that hotel restaurants simply cannot match. The veal marsala — hormone-free chicken scaloppine with portobello mushrooms in a marsala truffle sauce — is a dish that requires patience and technique.
The lobster ravioli is handmade with Maine lobster and ricotta, served in a creamy lobster sauce that has earned it the title of most-ordered pasta on the menu. At $44, it is a splurge that guests unanimously call worth it.

Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
Aventura Hotel opened as part of Universal's modern resort portfolio. Vincenzo has been part of Orlando's dining landscape since 2014. That seniority means the kitchen has been refined through a decade of guest feedback, menu evolution, and nightly service.
The Navarra family's 30+ years of hospitality experience predates both Aventura and Vincenzo. That deep knowledge shows in every part of the restaurant — from the wine list to the dessert menu to the way the servers anticipate your needs.
Aventura guests who make the short drive discover a restaurant with the kind of depth that only time and family commitment can build.
Over 4,000 reviews confirm what every visit proves: Vincenzo is the real thing.
Modern hotel, classic restaurant. The contrast works perfectly. Vincenzo feels like a neighborhood gem, not a tourist trap.
