Made from Scratch

Handmade Italian Worth the Trip from Sonesta Suites I-Drive

Sonesta Suites on International Drive gives families room to spread out — and Vincenzo Cucina Italiana at ICON Park gives them a reason to leave the suite. This family-owned Italian restaurant cooks everything from scratch, from the pasta to the bread to the desserts, seven nights a week.

Begin with the pepperoncini-stuffed cherry peppers with sausage and provolone, the chilled seafood tower with shrimp, crab, and oysters, or the warm fig and prosciutto flatbread with gorgonzola. Move into entrees like the bucatini cacio e pepe with freshly cracked black pepper, the roasted half chicken with rosemary pan jus and fingerling potatoes, or the penne with shrimp in a creamy pesto sauce.

Steaks are USDA Prime Black Angus from Creekstone Farms — the filet with truffle butter, the fourteen-ounce NY strip with herb butter, and the twenty-ounce bone-in ribeye. Every cut is grilled to order, never rushed.

This is a kitchen that treats cooking as craft. The marinara simmers for hours. The risotto is stirred to order. The tiramisu is assembled fresh daily. No corners are cut.

Family-Owned Italian Near Sonesta Suites I-Drive — Not a Corporate Restaurant

The Navarra Group opened Vincenzo on International Drive in 2014, bringing three decades of restaurant experience to one of Orlando's busiest corridors. The family's mission was to create a place where suite-hotel families, business travelers, and Orlando locals could all share the same outstanding dining experience.

Over 4,000 reviews on Google, OpenTable, and TripAdvisor confirm the mission is being fulfilled nightly. Guests with suite kitchens especially appreciate the contrast — the difference between functional cooking and inspired Italian cuisine.

Private dining in the Amalfi Room serves 15 to 50 with AV and custom menus. Full buyouts extend to 150. More than 1,500 events have been hosted with the family's signature attention to detail.

Vincenzo is the restaurant that suite-hotel guests wish they had known about on day one — and the one they return to on day three, five, and seven.

The ossobuco was fall-off-the-bone tender and the tiramisu was the best I have ever had.
