“The food, all homemade, all delicious. We enjoyed the tri-colored cheese tortellini with steak tips and prosciutto. The wine selection is very large.”

Craving seafood in Orlando doesn’t mean your choices are limited to dedicated fish houses or waterfront restaurants. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana offers several seafood specialties alongside its traditional Italian menu, giving guests the opportunity to enjoy fish, shellfish, and pasta prepared with Mediterranean-inspired flavors.
From pan-seared fish to seafood risotto and fresh calamari, the restaurant provides different options for diners who appreciate variety. Family-owned since 2014, Vincenzo combines these selections with a relaxed dining atmosphere at ICON Park on International Drive.
The Sea Bass in Champagne Butter features a delicate fish preparation with elegant flavors. Florida Grouper with Crab Risotto pairs fresh grouper with creamy Italian rice and crab for a rich seafood entrée. Linguine Frutti Di Mare brings together shrimp, scallops, grouper, and clams in a cherry tomato sauce for a complete seafood pasta experience.
These selections allow guests to enjoy several seafood preparations within a casual Italian restaurant rather than visiting a separate seafood-focused establishment.

We came after the parks and it was the perfect way to end the day. The gnocchi was unreal and the valet made everything so easy.
