Dinner Beyond the Universal Gates
Universal Studios has great on-site dining at CityWalk and inside the parks, but a growing number of visitors are heading off-property for dinner. Lower prices, a wider selection, and a break from the crowds.
International Drive is about 15 minutes south of Universal. Vincenzo at ICON Park serves handmade pasta, USDA Prime steaks, fresh seafood, craft cocktails, and wine.
