“Hands down the best Italian on I-Drive. The scallop risotto was restaurant-of-the-year quality.”
Jennifer, Orlando — OpenTable
The Menu
Housemade pasta, steaks, seafood, chicken parmigiana, lasagna, cocktails, wine, desserts, and a kids menu — all served in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
Keep reading to learn more about Vincenzo
The steak program at Vincenzo is built on one supplier: Creekstone Farms. Every cut is USDA Prime 100% Black Angus — sourced from a ranch known for consistency and quality, then hand-cut and cooked to your specification in Vincenzo's kitchen.
Three cuts anchor the menu. The 10oz filet mignon, finished with roasted garlic truffle butter, is the most tender. The 14oz NY strip, served with garlic herb butter and mashed potatoes, balances flavor and size. The 20oz bone-in ribeye, the largest cut available, comes with truffle rosemary fries and Brussels sprouts.
Each steak can be upgraded with jumbo shrimp or jumbo scallops for a surf-and-turf approach. The wine list includes Italian reds and California cabernets built for pairing with beef.
What makes this different from a standalone steak restaurant? You can also start with meatballs polenta with San Marzano sauce and ricotta, follow the steak with spaghetti with homemade meatballs, and finish with Nutella cheesecake with hazelnuts and drizzled Nutella. Italian restaurant quality with Prime-grade beef.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
The Navarra Group did not learn hospitality from a training manual. Over 33 years in the business taught them that the best restaurants make people feel welcome — not impressed, not intimidated, just welcome.
At Vincenzo, that philosophy is everywhere. The host greets families and business groups with equal warmth. The server explains the menu without condescension. The kitchen handles dietary needs without fuss.
The Amalfi Room hosts private events for 15 to 50 guests. Full restaurant buyouts accommodate 150 or more. Birthday parties, rehearsal dinners, corporate groups, team celebrations — 1,500 events and counting.
4,000+ guest reviews reflect what a family-owned restaurant can achieve when the family actually cares about the result.

Black Angus from Creekstone Farms
Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Vincenzo sits at ICON Park on International Drive, directly across from the Orlando StarFlyer. From the Residence Inn by Marriott Orlando Convention Center, it is just 0.7 miles north via Universal Blvd — a 15-minute walk or a quick 2-minute drive.
The address is 8255 International Drive, Suite 112, Orlando, FL 32819. Complimentary valet is waiting at the door every evening. Pull up, hand over the keys, and walk straight in.
The area around ICON Park is alive after dark — The Wheel lit up in color, families walking between attractions, shops and restaurants open late. Dinner at Vincenzo is part of that scene, not separate from it.
For Residence Inn Convention Center guests attending events at the OCCC or visiting the parks, Vincenzo is the kind of restaurant you spot on the way somewhere else and wish you had booked sooner.
We came after the parks with three kids still in park clothes. They did not bat an eye. Best dinner of our trip.

The Dishes People Come Back For
Chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. Fettuccine alfredo with jumbo shrimp. Made fresh, every night.
Vincenzo's full bar anchors the evening. Aperol Spritzes, Espresso Martinis, Negronis, Italian reds and whites, California cabernets, draft beer, and a cocktail list that changes with the season.
Happy Hour runs Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM. That means $4 beers, $7 wines, and $10 cocktails — the best deal on I-Drive for a pre-dinner drink. Wine Down Wednesday adds half-off wines by the glass for the entire night.
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 solo Negroni at the bar to a 40-person rehearsal dinner, Vincenzo handles both ends of the spectrum.
Hidden gem on I-Drive. Not a chain, not overpriced tourist food. The tiramisu alone is worth the trip.

Made the Way It Should Be
Homemade lasagna. Meatballs with San Marzano sauce. The Italian food you remember, done right.
Vincenzo looks polished. But it feels casual. There is no dress code, no pretension, and no side-eye if you show up in park clothes and flip-flops. Upscale vibes, casual comfort.
Families bring kids. Couples dress up. Business groups bring laptops. Birthday parties bring balloons. The restaurant absorbs all of it without missing a beat.
That balance — upscale food, casual comfort — is what makes Vincenzo work for I-Drive. It is the restaurant that fits everyone, whether you are in town for a convention at the OCCC or visiting the parks.
