Restaurants in Orlando

Orlando's Dining Scene Is Bigger Than You Think

Most people think of Orlando as a theme park town. And it is. But what many visitors do not realize is that Orlando also has one of the most diverse restaurant scenes in the Southeast. Beyond the fast-casual spots inside the parks, there are hundreds of locally owned restaurants serving everything from authentic Italian to fresh Gulf seafood, wood-fired steaks, and creative cocktails.

International Drive alone is home to dozens of dining options. Some are chains you already know. Others are family-run restaurants that have been serving the community for decades. If you are visiting Orlando for a convention, a family vacation, or a weekend getaway, the food can be just as memorable as the rides.

What Sets Vincenzo Apart

In a city with this many restaurants, standing out takes more than a good location. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana has been at Vue at 360 on International Drive since the Navarra family opened it in 1991. That is over three decades of making pasta by hand every single day, sourcing USDA Prime steaks, and bringing in fresh seafood from trusted suppliers. While chains rotate menus based on corporate decisions, Vincenzo's kitchen answers to a family that eats there too.

The result is 4,000+ reviews and a 4.7-star rating from guests who come back year after year. Convention attendees put it on their calendar before they book their hotel. Locals celebrate anniversaries and birthdays here because the food and service are consistent, never a gamble.
