Seafood Near Me in Orlando

Fresh Seafood, Italian Style

Finding great seafood near you in Orlando can be tricky. A lot of restaurants along International Drive rely on frozen fish and pre-made sauces. At Vincenzo Cucina Italiana, the seafood is fresh, prepared with Italian techniques, and served as part of a menu that has been refined by the Navarra family over three decades. This is not a fish fry or a seafood shack. It is Italian seafood done properly — clean flavors, quality ingredients, and real cooking.

Located at Vue at 360 on International Drive near ICON Park, Vincenzo has been one of Orlando's favorite Italian restaurants since the family opened in 1991. The seafood selection is a major reason people keep coming back — especially the Chilean sea bass, which is one of the most ordered dishes on the menu.

Seafood Highlights

• ✦ Chilean Sea Bass — flaky, buttery, and perfectly seared, one of the restaurant's signature dishes
• ✦ Fresh Grouper — a Florida classic, prepared with Mediterranean flavors
• ✦ Atlantic Salmon — grilled or pan-seared, served with seasonal accompaniments
• ✦ Lobster Ravioli — handmade ravioli filled with fresh lobster in a creamy pink sauce
• ✦ Calamari — lightly fried and served as a starter, a crowd favorite every night
• ✦ Shrimp Scampi — sauteed in garlic, white wine, and butter over linguine

Italian Seafood Is Different

Italian seafood cooking is about letting the fish speak for itself. At Vincenzo, the kitchen does not bury the seafood under heavy breading or thick sauces. The Chilean sea bass gets a simple, clean preparation that highlights its natural buttery flavor. The grouper is treated with olive oil, herbs, and citrus. The lobster ravioli is handmade fresh every day, filled with real lobster, and finished with a sauce that complements rather than overwhelms.

This approach comes from the family's Southern Italian roots, where coastal cooking relies on freshness above everything else. Even though Orlando is inland, Vincenzo sources seafood carefully to make sure what arrives on your plate is worth ordering.

More Than Just Seafood

If you are dining with a group and not everyone wants fish, Vincenzo has you covered. The menu includes handmade pasta, USDA Prime steaks, classic Italian appetizers, and house-made desserts. The wine list features Italian whites — Pinot Grigio, Vermentino, Gavi — that pair naturally with seafood. Happy hour runs Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM, and Monday happy hour runs all evening.
