Handmade Italian at ICON Park — right on I-Drive. No car needed. Open nightly 5 to 10 PM.
When you are staying on International Drive, dinner does not have to mean getting in the car. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana sits right inside ICON Park at 8255 International Drive — one of the most walkable dining destinations on the strip.
From handmade potato gnocchi and slow-braised ossobuco to USDA Black Angus Prime steaks from Creekstone Farms, fresh Florida seafood, and homemade tiramisu, the kitchen delivers the kind of Italian meal that people remember long after they leave Orlando.
No dress code. Shorts welcome. Families, couples, solo travelers, convention groups — everyone fits here. And with complimentary valet every evening, even guests who do drive have nothing to worry about.
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 33 years of hospitality experience. Since 2014, they have made this restaurant one of the most trusted Italian dining destinations on International Drive.
What that history means for guests: no attitude, no dress code, no pressure. Just real Italian food, warm hospitality, and a restaurant that takes pride in every plate. Whether you are celebrating a birthday, out with the family after the parks, or meeting colleagues for a business dinner, Vincenzo feels personal — not corporate, not chain.
It is the kind of restaurant you recommend to people you care about. And the kind of place locals come back to long after their first visit.
We walked over from our hotel and it was hands down the best dinner of our trip. The pasta is incredible — nothing like the chains on I-Drive.

Black Angus from Creekstone Farms
Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Vincenzo is right at ICON Park, surrounded by some of the most popular hotels on International Drive. The Wyndham Orlando Resort, Fairfield Inn & Suites Marriott I-Drive, Courtyard by Marriott I-Drive, Embassy Suites I-Drive, Sonesta ES Suites, Holiday Inn ICON Park, and Element by Marriott Universal Blvd are all within a 2–5 minute walk.
No car needed. No Uber. No parking fee. Walk out of your hotel lobby, head toward ICON Park, and you are at the door. It is one of the most genuinely walkable dinner options on the entire International Drive corridor.
After a day at the parks, a morning at the convention center, or an afternoon exploring the area, being able to walk to a real Italian dinner makes everything easier. Just walk over.
We were staying at the Wyndham and literally walked across to Vincenzo. Perfect location, outstanding food. The lobster ravioli is a must.

Hidden gem on I-Drive. Not a chain. Real Italian with real heart. We walked from our hotel and plan to do it every time we visit Orlando.
