Loews Royal Pacific Resort at Universal Orlando creates a relaxing South Pacific getaway with tropical landscaping, a lagoon-style swimming pool, and convenient access to the excitement of the theme parks. When guests want to explore restaurants beyond the resort, Vincenzo Cucina Italiana offers a distinctly different dinner experience.
Located at ICON Park on International Drive, Vincenzo is an independently owned Italian restaurant serving Orlando visitors and residents since 2014. The Navarra Group brings more than 30 years of hospitality experience to a setting that feels sophisticated without becoming overly formal.
The menu brings together handmade pasta, fresh seafood, USDA Prime steaks, and thoughtfully prepared Italian favorites. Rather than focusing on just one type of entrée, Vincenzo offers a varied selection suited to guests with different appetites.
Families are always welcome. Vincenzo offers a $13 kids menu that includes a beverage for children ages 10 and under, allowing parents to explore our full Italian menu while younger diners enjoy selections designed for them. Shorts are welcome, and no dress code is required.
Where Every Plate Tells a Story
Hand-rolled gnocchi, slow-simmered sauces, steaks cut fresh daily. Real Italian cooking.
Loews Royal Pacific Resort is located at 6300 Hollywood Way, Orlando, FL 32819. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is approximately 2.5 miles away at 8255 International Drive, Suite 112, Orlando, FL 32819.
The drive typically takes around 10 minutes via Universal Boulevard and International Drive, depending on traffic. This convenient connection makes it easy to visit a restaurant outside Universal Orlando without traveling far from your accommodations.
Vincenzo is situated at ICON Park, directly across from the Orlando StarFlyer. Visitors approaching the entertainment district can also recognize the nearby Orlando Eye, one of International Drive’s best-known landmarks.
Complimentary valet parking is available every evening, creating a straightforward arrival experience for guests traveling from the hotel. Vincenzo serves dinner seven days a week from 5–10 PM, making it convenient to plan a meal after exploring the parks or enjoying the resort.
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.

Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Royal Pacific guests enjoy the combination of resort relaxation and convenient theme park access. Vincenzo provides an opportunity to spend part of the evening experiencing Orlando outside the resort while still staying close to Universal’s attractions.
Our Italian menu accommodates different appetites and occasions. Couples may appreciate a leisurely pasta dinner with wine, while families can enjoy a selection of seafood, steak, and children’s meals around the same table.
Visitors holding eligible Universal admission can receive 10% off with a Universal Studios or Epic Universe ticket or valid annual pass. Simply present your qualifying park ticket or annual pass when dining at Vincenzo to enjoy the special dinner offer.
The relaxed dining atmosphere also makes Vincenzo appealing to travelers who don’t want to change into formal clothes. After a day of walking through theme parks, comfortable vacation attire is welcome in a restaurant that combines upscale vibes with casual comfort.
Came here after reading the reviews and they were all accurate. The chicken marsala was tender, the mushroom sauce was incredible. Very happy we found this place.

Dishes That Define Vincenzo
Ossobuco over saffron risotto. Lobster ravioli in cream sauce. The plates that built our reputation.
Vincenzo is owned by the Navarra Group, which has established a reputation for hospitality through more than three decades of industry experience. Since opening in 2014, the restaurant has welcomed both Orlando locals and travelers seeking a quality Italian dinner.
With more than 4,000 combined online reviews across Google, OpenTable, Yelp, and TripAdvisor, prospective guests have a substantial collection of dining experiences to explore when comparing local restaurants.
The restaurant’s independent character offers a contrast to themed hotel dining. Rather than recreating an attraction or resort environment, Vincenzo places Italian food, welcoming service, and the enjoyment of sharing a meal at the center of the experience.
Staying at Loews Royal Pacific Resort? Make the 10-minute drive to Vincenzo Cucina Italiana at ICON Park and discover a family-owned Italian restaurant where delicious food, convenient parking, and a welcoming atmosphere make dinner an enjoyable part of your Orlando vacation.
We stayed nearby and walked over for dinner. Best decision of the trip. The scallop risotto was restaurant-of-the-year good.
