Travelers comparing restaurants near Element by Marriott Orlando Universal Blvd have a particularly convenient option before they even leave the hotel plaza. Element’s extended-stay accommodations are useful for guests who enjoy preparing their own meals, but Orlando vacations also create opportunities to explore local restaurants.
Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is situated immediately next door in the same ICON Park plaza, offering a complete Italian dinner without the need for transportation. With more than 4,000 online reviews and an OpenTable Diners’ Choice award, Vincenzo gives Element guests a well-established dining choice within easy walking distance.
Pan-seared Chilean sea bass provides a distinctive seafood entrée finished with artichoke and Prosecco butter. Tortellini with prosciutto and filet tips offers a heartier choice, combining tri-color filled pasta, tender beef, and garlic cream sauce. Tiramisu adds the traditional combination of espresso and mascarpone for guests interested in a classic Italian dessert.
This menu variety makes Vincenzo a convenient restaurant to revisit during an extended stay, allowing visitors to explore different dishes without leaving the hotel area. Guests presenting a qualifying Universal Studios or Epic Universe ticket receive 10% off food.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
Rather than arranging a ride or navigating Orlando traffic, Element guests can walk to Vincenzo Cucina Italiana in approximately 2 minutes using the shared plaza walkways. The restaurant is located at 8255 International Drive, Suite 112, across from the Orlando StarFlyer at ICON Park, with the Orlando Eye nearby.
Because both businesses occupy the same plaza, there is no reason to drive or arrange valet parking for this short visit.
Locally owned since 2014 by the Navarra Group. Over 33 years of hospitality experience and more than 4,000 guest reviews.
No dress code. Universal Studios ticket OR Epic Universe ticket = 10% off food, dine-in only.
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.
Element by Marriott sits on Universal Boulevard, and Vincenzo is at ICON Park on International Drive, practically next door. The drive is measured in minutes, and complimentary valet means you are seated almost immediately.
The I-Drive location is central to Universal, Epic Universe, SeaWorld, the Convention Center, and the entire entertainment corridor. Extended-stay guests already know the area well, and Vincenzo becomes a regular stop once they discover it.
The restaurant is polished but completely relaxed. Business travelers in work clothes share the dining room with families in vacation gear. Nobody checks what you are wearing because nobody cares. The food is the focus.
Element guests who find Vincenzo early in their stay end up returning multiple times. The walking-distance location, the no car needed, and the scratch kitchen make it the obvious choice for a real dinner without the hassle.
We came after Universal Studios 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.
Kitchenette fatigue hits hardest at cocktail hour. Vincenzo's full bar cures it with Negronis, Espresso Martinis, Aperol Spritzes, Italian wines, California wines, craft cocktails, and cold beer that you did not have to buy at the grocery store.
Happy Hour runs Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM. That is $4 bottled beers, $7 wines by the glass, and $10 cocktails. Wine Down Wednesday means half-off wines by the glass all evening. For extended-stay guests, that mid-week outing becomes a ritual.
Need to host a dinner for colleagues or celebrate with friends in town? The Amalfi Room seats 15 to 50 guests for private events, and full restaurant buyouts handle 150 or more. Custom Italian menus, AV equipment, and complimentary valet are included.
Your hotel room has a mini fridge. Vincenzo has a full bar, a scratch kitchen, and a private dining room. Some evenings call for the upgrade, and this is it.
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.

Made the Way It Should Be
Homemade lasagna. Meatballs with San Marzano sauce. The Italian food you remember, done right.
Element guests pick Vincenzo for the carbonara made with guanciale and pecorino, the calamari sauteed in garlic and olive oil, and the homemade tiramisu that makes dessert non-negotiable. The menu changes enough to keep weekly visitors interested.
Walk over or drive over. Wear whatever you have on. Order something you cannot make in a kitchenette. Dinner is 5 to 10 PM every night with no car needed and a family that has run this kitchen since 2014.
Your extended stay has a kitchen. Vincenzo has a dining room. Tonight, choose the dining room. ICON Park on International Drive, family-owned and ready.
