“We walked from the Castle Hotel and found what might be the best Italian restaurant in Orlando. The lobster bisque to start, then the lobster ravioli — both were flawless.”

Keep reading to learn more about Vincenzo
Vincenzo is built for dining in — the kind of restaurant where the atmosphere, the service, and the food work together to create something better than any to-go box could deliver. Handmade pasta, USDA Prime steaks, fresh seafood, and craft cocktails at ICON Park on International Drive, just 0.5 miles from Castle Hotel.
Consider the linguine shrimp and crab fra diavolo: it arrives at the table cooked to order, plated by the chef, and accompanied by a wine recommendation from your server. The 10oz filet mignon finished with roasted garlic truffle butter is seared to your specification and served with sides prepared moments before.
Add complimentary valet parking, a full bar, happy hour specials, and an atmosphere that works for families, couples, and groups — and the case for dining in is complete.
Call (407) 745-4030 for reservations, dietary accommodations, or special requests. Walk 12 minutes from Castle Hotel and enjoy the full experience.
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: hotel guests from the Castle and nearby properties, park visitors, Orlando locals, families 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.
Castle Hotel guests who value distinctive character will appreciate that Vincenzo is not a formula restaurant. It is a family restaurant with real recipes and real hospitality.
The server knew every wine on the list and recommended a Chianti Classico that paired perfectly with our ossobuco. This is hospitality done right.

Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Vincenzo sits at ICON Park on International Drive, across from the Orlando StarFlyer. Castle Hotel, Autograph Collection is 0.5 miles north on the same road — a pleasant 12-minute walk with no turns, no confusion, and no need for a car.
The address is 8255 International Drive, Suite 112, Orlando, FL 32819. Complimentary valet is available every evening if you prefer to drive, but the walkability from Castle Hotel is one of the best features of both locations.
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 Castle Hotel guests, Vincenzo is the kind of restaurant you discover on the first evening and return to on the last.
Monday all-night happy hour changed our Orlando trips. $10 Espresso Martini, the carpaccio, and the penne vodka salmon. Walking distance from the Castle and absurdly good.

This place is a hidden gem on I-Drive. Not a chain, not overpriced tourist food. Real Italian with real heart. The tiramisu alone is worth the trip.
