Dinner Off-Property for Lake Buena Vista Hotel Guests

Lake Buena Vista is the gateway to Walt Disney World, with hundreds of hotels ranging from value to luxury. While the area has chain restaurants and Disney Springs, many guests want something different for dinner — a real Italian restaurant with handmade pasta, a full bar, and a relaxed atmosphere away from the parks.

Vincenzo is about 15–20 minutes east on I-4. Family-friendly, casual, kids welcome.
