Made from Scratch

Handmade Italian Worth the Trip from Fairfield Inn I-Drive

Chain Italian is everywhere in Orlando. Real Italian — the scratch-kitchen kind, where pasta is made daily and nothing comes from a freezer — is harder to find. Vincenzo on International Drive is that restaurant.

The menu covers the Italian spectrum: butternut squash ravioli with porcini and truffle cream, tortellini with filet tips and prosciutto, linguine frutti di mare with shrimp and scallops. Chicken piccata with capers and lemon butter handles lighter appetites.

Steaks anchor the heavier side: a 14oz NY strip with garlic herb butter and mashed potatoes. Seafood lovers choose between linguine frutti di mare — shrimp, scallops, grouper, clams and the Florida grouper with crab risotto and citrus beurre blanc.

Everything — including every dessert — is made fresh. Homemade tiramisu — espresso-soaked lady fingers and mascarpone cream. No shortcuts.

Vincenzo is locally owned by the Navarra Group, a family with over 33 years of hospitality experience. Since 2014, the restaurant has served over a million guests — convention attendees, park visitors, and Orlando locals celebrating milestones.

That family foundation shapes everything. Servers greet guests warmly, the kitchen takes pride in every plate, and the atmosphere feels welcoming whether you arrive in a suit or shorts.

The Amalfi Room accommodates private gatherings of 15 to 50. Full restaurant buyouts handle 150 or more. Over 1,500 events hosted and counting.

In an area where chains dominate, Vincenzo stands apart as a restaurant built on family values and consistency.

On International Drive

ICON Park Location — Easy to Reach from Fairfield Inn I-Drive

Vincenzo is at 8255 International Drive at ICON Park, accessible from any hotel in the I-Drive area with a short drive. International Drive runs like a spine through Orlando's tourist corridor — most hotels are on it or one turn away.

Complimentary valet parking eliminates the hassle of finding a spot in a busy area. Drive up, hand off the keys, walk inside.

ICON Park is an evening destination on its own — The Wheel lights up after dark, StarFlyer spins overhead, and the walkways fill with families and couples. Dinner at Vincenzo fits naturally into that evening.

No GPS headaches, no highway maze. Just a straight shot on I-Drive to one of the best Italian restaurants in the area.

Celebrated our 25th anniversary here. The veal ossobuco, the wine, the service — it was a night we will never forget.

Happy Hour and Private Events Near Fairfield Inn I-Drive

Vincenzo's full bar anchors the evening. Aperol Spritzes, Espresso Martinis, Negronis, Italian reds and whites, California cabernets, draft beer, and a cocktail list that changes with the season.

Happy Hour runs Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM. That means $4 beers, $7 wines, and $10 cocktails — the best deal on I-Drive for a pre-dinner drink. Wine Down Wednesday adds half-off wines by the glass for the entire night.

Group dining is available in the Amalfi Room for 15 to 50 guests or via full restaurant buyout for 150 or more. Custom menus, AV capabilities, and coordinated service make every event seamless.

From a solo Negroni at the bar to a 40-person rehearsal dinner, Vincenzo handles both ends of the spectrum.

Best meal of our two-week Florida vacation. The short rib pappardelle was rich, complex, and beautifully plated.
