“We came straight from the parks with three kids still in park clothes. They didn’t bat an eye. The pasta was incredible and valet made it so easy. Best dinner of our trip.”

Keep reading to learn more about Vincenzo
Vista Cay guests are a mix of convention attendees, timeshare owners, and families on extended stays — all of whom eventually need a dinner that goes beyond takeout and delivery apps. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is that dinner. Handmade tortellini, fresh risotto, seared salmon, and NY strip steaks are prepared from scratch every night at ICON Park on I-Drive.
The menu covers serious Italian ground: lobster ravioli in cream sauce, pappardelle with slow-braised meat ragu, chicken parmigiana with spaghetti, and a kids menu that makes family dinners easy. Every pasta is rolled in-house.
Do not skip the tiramisu. It is made fresh daily and appears in more guest reviews than almost any other item on the menu. Pair it with an Espresso Martini and the evening is complete.
This is not tourist Italian. This is a locally owned restaurant with 4,000+ reviews, a full bar, and a kitchen that treats every night like opening night.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
Vincenzo is owned and operated by the Navarra Group, a family with over three decades of hospitality experience. They opened on International Drive in 2014 and have spent every year since building the kind of Italian restaurant that earns repeat visits — not just one-night tourist stops.
Vista Cay guests often stay for a week or longer, which means they see through gimmicks quickly. Vincenzo earns their trust with consistency: the same quality food, the same warm service, the same comfortable atmosphere every night of the week.
Convention travelers coming from events at the Orange County Convention Center especially appreciate that Vincenzo is a place where a business dinner feels appropriate but a family dinner feels natural too. There is no dress code and no stiff formality — just great food served by people who care.
Locals still eat here regularly, which tells you everything you need to know. When Orlando residents choose to dine at a restaurant on International Drive, it means the food is worth the drive.
Hands down the best Italian spot in Orlando. The service was impeccable, the food was absolutely incredible. The lobster ravioli was out of this world.

Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Vista Cay is right near the Orange County Convention Center, and Vincenzo is at ICON Park on International Drive — just a few minutes north. The drive is simple, the route is familiar to anyone who has been on I-Drive before, and complimentary valet eliminates the parking hassle when you arrive.
The ICON Park setting adds to the evening. The area is walkable, the wheel is lit, and the atmosphere makes dinner feel like an event rather than just a meal. For Vista Cay guests who have been in conference rooms or condo living rooms all day, the change of scenery is welcome.
Wear whatever you are wearing. Convention badge still around your neck? Nobody cares. Shorts and sandals from the pool? Also fine. Vincenzo keeps it casual enough for vacation but polished enough for a client dinner.
It is the rare I-Drive restaurant that works equally well for a solo convention attendee, a family of six, and a group of colleagues splitting a bottle of wine.
We came after the parks and it was the perfect way to end the day. The gnocchi was unreal and the valet made everything so easy.

The Dishes People Come Back For
Chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. Fettuccine alfredo with jumbo shrimp. Made fresh, every night.
After a long day at the Convention Center or a morning of pool time at Vista Cay, Vincenzo's bar is a welcome sight. Classic Negronis, Aperol Spritzes, a deep Italian and California wine list, and craft cocktails built by experienced bartenders — there is something for every mood.
Happy Hour is available Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM: $4 beers, $7 wines, $10 cocktails. Wednesday is Wine Down Wednesday with half-price wines by the glass the entire evening — perfect for mid-week convention decompression.
Vista Cay groups planning team dinners or client entertaining can book the Amalfi Room for 15 to 50 guests. Custom Italian menus, AV capabilities for presentations, complimentary valet, and experienced event coordinators make business dinners seamless. Full buyouts for 150+ are also available.
Whether you are winding down alone with a bourbon or hosting 40 colleagues for a seated dinner, Vincenzo handles both with the same level of care.
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.

Made the Way It Should Be
Homemade lasagna. Meatballs with San Marzano sauce. The Italian food you remember, done right.
