Walk across the street from Sonesta ES Suites and you are at ICON Park, standing by the Orlando StarFlyer, with Vincenzo Cucina Italiana right in front of you. Inside, the kitchen sources Chilean sea bass, Florida grouper, Faroe Island salmon, jumbo scallops, clams, shrimp, crab, and Maine lobster — all cooked to order in a scratch kitchen that has been earning five-star reviews since 2014.
The star of the seafood menu might be the scallop risotto — truffle parmigiano risotto topped with perfectly seared jumbo sea scallops and caramelized shallots. The lobster ravioli, filled with Maine lobster and ricotta in a creamy lobster sauce, is the other contender. The grouper with crab risotto and citrus beurre blanc rounds out the top three.
Lighter options include the honey-glazed Faroe salmon with Brussels sprouts and the linguine alle vongole — Middle Neck clams sauteed in garlic, parsley, and white wine. The lobster bisque with cognac makes an excellent starter before any seafood entree.
This is seafood inside an Italian restaurant, which means the pasta, the sauces, and the preparation elevate every fish dish beyond what a typical seafood spot delivers.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
Vincenzo opened at ICON Park in 2014 and has been the neighborhood Italian restaurant ever since. The Navarra Group, the family behind it, has 33 years of hospitality experience — and it shows in the warmth of the greeting, the pace of the service, and the consistency of every plate.
The dining room fills with a genuine mix: Sonesta Suites families on vacation, park visitors, Orlando locals, couples celebrating. No two tables look the same, and that is the point. Vincenzo is for everyone.
Kids are welcome — the $13 kids menu includes a beverage and options like spaghetti with meatballs, chicken tenders, and cheese ravioli. Parents relax, kids eat, everyone leaves happy.
This is the kind of Italian restaurant people wish existed across the street from every hotel — and for Sonesta Suites guests, it actually does.
