“The Chilean sea bass was perfectly cooked — crispy skin, tender inside, with an incredible prosecco butter sauce. One of the best seafood dishes we have had in Florida.”
James & Catherine, Boston — OpenTable

Convention hotel dining options lean heavily toward burgers and bar food. When you want seafood done right — not fried, not frozen, not from a chain kitchen — Vincenzo on International Drive delivers. Just 0.7 miles from the Residence Inn by Marriott Orlando Convention Center, a 15-minute walk via Universal Blvd.
The seafood menu reads like an Italian coastal kitchen: Chilean Sea Bass pan-seared with fried artichoke, broccolini, and prosecco butter sauce. Florida Black Grouper with crab risotto, jumbo shrimp, and citrus beurre blanc. Faroe Island Salmon honey-glazed with sauteed Brussels sprouts.
Seafood pasta dominates too. Linguine Frutti di Mare combines jumbo shrimp, scallops, grouper, and clams in cherry tomato sauce. Lobster Ravioli comes stuffed with Maine lobster and ricotta. Scallop Risotto layers jumbo sea scallops over truffle parmigiano risotto. Linguine and Clams with garlic, parsley, and white wine is a classic done perfectly.
Every dish is cooked to order. Nothing comes from a freezer. This is seafood the Italian way.
Seafood & Italian Classics
Chilean sea bass, scallop risotto, linguine frutti di mare — fresh seafood prepared Italian-style every night.
Vincenzo is locally owned by the Navarra Group, a family with over 33 years of hospitality experience. Since 2014, the restaurant has served over a million guests — convention attendees, park visitors, and Orlando locals celebrating milestones.
The kitchen sources carefully. Chilean sea bass, Florida grouper, Faroe Island salmon, Maine lobster, Middle Neck clams, and jumbo sea scallops — each selected for quality and prepared with Italian technique. No shortcuts, no frozen fillets.
The atmosphere is casual Italian. No dress code — shorts, vacation wear, business casual all welcome. Upscale vibes, casual comfort. That combination draws both convention-goers looking for a proper dinner and locals celebrating special occasions.
4,000+ guest reviews across Google, OpenTable, TripAdvisor, and Yelp. OpenTable Diners' Choice. Golden Fork Award.
The linguine frutti di mare was loaded with shrimp, scallops, grouper, and clams. Best seafood pasta we have had outside of Italy.

Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Vincenzo is at 8255 International Drive at ICON Park, across from Orlando StarFlyer. From the Residence Inn by Marriott Orlando Convention Center, walk north on Universal Blvd — 0.7 miles, about 15 minutes, flat sidewalks the entire way.
Complimentary valet parking eliminates the hassle of finding a spot. Drive up, hand off the keys, walk inside to your seafood dinner.
ICON Park is an evening destination on its own — The Wheel lights up after dark, StarFlyer spins overhead, and the walkways fill with families and couples. A seafood dinner at Vincenzo fits naturally into that evening.
No Uber needed, no highway navigation. Just a pleasant walk or a 2-minute drive to fresh seafood prepared Italian-style.
Celebrated our 25th anniversary here. The veal ossobuco, the wine, the service — it was a night we will never forget.

The Dishes People Come Back For
Chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. Fettuccine alfredo with jumbo shrimp. Made fresh, every night.
Great seafood deserves great wine. Vincenzo's wine list includes crisp Italian whites perfect for seafood — Pinot Grigio, Vermentino, Gavi — alongside fuller reds for steak and pasta. The full bar adds Aperol Spritzes, Espresso Martinis, Negronis, draft beer, and seasonal cocktails.
Happy Hour runs Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM. That means $4 beers, $7 wines, and $10 cocktails. Wine Down Wednesday adds half-off wines by the glass for the entire night — perfect for pairing with seafood.
Group dining is available in the Amalfi Room for 15 to 50 guests or via full restaurant buyout for 150 or more. Custom menus, AV capabilities, and coordinated service make every event seamless.
From a glass of Gavi with your sea bass to a full convention team dinner, Vincenzo handles it all.
Best meal of our two-week Florida vacation. The short rib pappardelle was rich, complex, and beautifully plated.

Made the Way It Should Be
Homemade lasagna. Meatballs with San Marzano sauce. The Italian food you remember, done right.
Shorts welcome. Business casual welcome. Date night welcome. Kids in strollers welcome. Vincenzo has seen it all and seats everyone the same way — warmly.
The seafood is fresh. The pasta is handmade. The atmosphere is comfortable. The parking is free. And the kitchen is open every night from 5 to 10 PM with the full menu, a full bar, and a $13 kids menu.
That combination — fresh seafood, scratch-made Italian, zero pretense, genuine hospitality — is why Residence Inn Convention Center guests keep coming back. A 15-minute walk or a 2-minute drive, and you are eating the best seafood Italian on I-Drive.
