“We are vegetarian and the kitchen was incredibly accommodating. The butternut squash ravioli and the gnocchi were outstanding.”

The Menu
Housemade pasta, steaks, seafood, chicken parmigiana, lasagna, cocktails, wine, desserts, and a kids menu — all served in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
Keep reading to learn more about Vincenzo
Disney Springs has its restaurants. International Drive has Vincenzo. The drive takes about 18 minutes, and guests who make it say the same thing: best Italian meal of the trip.
Vincenzo is a scratch kitchen. Pasta is rolled in-house daily. Sauces start with imported San Marzano tomatoes. Steaks are USDA Prime Black Angus from Creekstone Farms. Seafood arrives fresh.
Start with arancini — fried risotto balls with wild mushrooms, truffle, and fontina. Move to pappardelle ragu with braised Angus beef, the Faroe Island salmon, honey-glazed with Brussels sprouts, or go bold with the ossobuco braised until it falls off the bone over saffron risotto.
Desserts are all housemade: chocolate mousse with zabaione and chocolate curls. The kind of food that makes 18 minutes feel like nothing.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
The Navarra Group did not learn hospitality from a training manual. Three decades in the business taught them that the best restaurants make people feel welcome — not impressed, not intimidated, just welcome.
At Vincenzo, that philosophy is everywhere. The host greets families and business groups with equal warmth. The server explains the menu without condescension. The kitchen handles dietary needs without fuss.
The Amalfi Room hosts private events for 15 to 50 guests. Full restaurant buyouts accommodate 150 or more. Birthday parties, rehearsal dinners, corporate groups, team celebrations — 1,500 events and counting.
4,000+ guest reviews reflect what a family-owned restaurant can achieve when the family actually cares about the result.

Black Angus from Creekstone Farms
Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
The drive from the Lake Buena Vista area to Vincenzo on International Drive takes about 18 minutes. Take I-4 East to International Drive, head north toward ICON Park, and you are there.
Complimentary valet parking every evening means no hunting for spots near a busy entertainment district. Pull up, hand off the keys, and walk inside.
ICON Park itself offers an evening beyond dinner — The Wheel, StarFlyer, Madame Tussauds, shops, and street entertainment are all steps from the restaurant.
For guests willing to leave the resort bubble for one evening, the payoff is a meal that stands out from the rest of the trip.
Celebrated our 25th anniversary here. The veal ossobuco, the wine, the service — it was a night we will never forget.

The Dishes People Come Back For
Chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. Fettuccine alfredo with jumbo shrimp. Made fresh, every night.
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.

Made the Way It Should Be
Homemade lasagna. Meatballs with San Marzano sauce. The Italian food you remember, done right.
Vincenzo looks polished. But it feels casual. There is no dress code, no pretension, and no side-eye if you show up in park clothes and flip-flops.
Families bring kids. Couples dress up. Business groups bring laptops. Birthday parties bring balloons. The restaurant absorbs all of it without missing a beat.
That balance — upscale food, casual comfort — is what makes Vincenzo work for I-Drive. It is the restaurant that fits everyone.
