Stella Nova Resort to Vincenzo — Handmade Italian on I-Drive

Stella Nova Resort is Universal's brand-new property near Epic Universe, and guests discovering Orlando's dining scene will find Vincenzo Cucina Italiana waiting at ICON Park on International Drive — a family-owned Italian restaurant that has spent over a decade perfecting its craft.

The menu opens with starters like the prosciutto-wrapped grilled peaches with burrata and arugula, the mussels in Calabrian chili broth with garlic toast, and the thinly sliced beef bresaola with lemon, capers, and shaved Parmigiano. Entrees feature the rigatoni all'arrabbiata with a spicy San Marzano kick, the pan-seared red snapper with olives, tomatoes, and herbs, and the bone-in veal chop Valdostana stuffed with prosciutto and fontina.

Every steak is Creekstone Farms USDA Prime Black Angus. The filet pairs with truffle butter and broccolini. The fourteen-ounce NY strip delivers flavor with an herb butter finish. The twenty-ounce bone-in ribeye is for the guest who considers steak the evening's main event.

From the hand-cut tagliatelle to the slow-simmered Bolognese to the cannoli filled to order, everything at Vincenzo is made in-house. That commitment to craft is what separates this kitchen from the hundreds of restaurants along I-Drive.

Why Stella Nova Resort Guests Feel at Home at Vincenzo

Stella Nova is brand new. Vincenzo has been earning trust on International Drive since 2014. The Navarra Group brought over three decades of hospitality experience to build a restaurant that would stand the test of time — and over 4,000 reviews confirm it has.

The family is present in the restaurant nightly. The service team is trained to anticipate needs without hovering. The kitchen operates with precision and pride. These are not buzzwords — they are the daily reality that guests experience and review.

The Amalfi Room offers private dining for 15 to 50 with AV and custom Italian menus. Full buyouts extend to 150 guests. More than 1,500 events have been managed with the same personal touch.

For Stella Nova guests exploring Orlando for the first time, Vincenzo provides the kind of established quality that new resort dining has not yet had the chance to build.
