Staying at Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa gives families the flexibility to enjoy meals in their villas, relax by the pool, and plan their vacation at their own pace. But sometimes the best part of a trip is leaving the cooking behind and treating everyone to a memorable dinner. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana offers that opportunity just a short drive away.
Since 2014, Vincenzo has welcomed Orlando vacationers and local families looking for quality Italian cuisine in a comfortable setting. The restaurant combines the warmth of a family-owned business with a polished atmosphere that makes an ordinary dinner feel a little more special.
The menu offers handmade pasta, fresh seafood, USDA Prime steaks, and Italian favorites suited to different tastes. Whether you’re craving a hearty pasta dish or looking for a premium entrée after a relaxing day at the resort, there are plenty of ways to enjoy your meal.
Unlike restaurants that require formal attire, Vincenzo welcomes guests in casual vacation clothing. Shorts are perfectly fine, making it easy to transition from a full day of Orlando activities into an enjoyable dinner without changing your entire schedule.
Where Every Plate Tells a Story
Hand-rolled gnocchi, slow-simmered sauces, steaks cut fresh daily. Real Italian cooking.
Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is approximately 3.5 miles from Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa at 10000 Turkey Lake Road. The drive generally takes 8–10 minutes, depending on traffic, making it an accessible restaurant choice for resort guests.
From Westgate Lakes, travel east along Turkey Lake Road toward International Drive. This route connects the resort area with the popular dining and entertainment district surrounding ICON Park.
You’ll find Vincenzo at 8255 International Drive, Suite 112, Orlando, FL 32819. The restaurant sits at ICON Park, directly across from the Orlando StarFlyer, providing an easily recognizable landmark for visitors.
Complimentary valet parking is available every evening, so there’s no need to spend your vacation searching for a parking space. Vincenzo opens seven nights a week from 5 PM to 10 PM.
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.
After spending the afternoon swimming or enjoying the amenities at Westgate Lakes, many families want a comfortable place to sit down together. Vincenzo provides an inviting alternative to preparing another meal in the villa.
Children ages 10 and under can enjoy a $13 kids menu that includes a beverage. This makes planning a family dinner easier, especially when parents want a restaurant offering something for younger travelers.
Adults can choose handmade pasta, fresh seafood, or USDA Prime steaks while enjoying a glass of wine or craft cocktail. The varied menu means families don’t have to agree on a single type of entrée.
For those who enjoy exploring after dinner, the restaurant’s ICON Park location adds another dimension to the evening. Guests can take in the surrounding sights and attractions before returning to their resort.
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.

We stayed nearby and walked over for dinner. Best decision of the trip. The scallop risotto was restaurant-of-the-year good.
