Keep reading to learn more about Vincenzo
Rosen Shingle Creek guests looking for takeout near their hotel will find something better at Vincenzo — a dine-in experience that takeout simply cannot replicate. The restaurant is just 2.6 miles north via Universal Blvd, directly across from the Orlando StarFlyer at ICON Park.
Every dish at Vincenzo is cooked to order from scratch. Risotto that arrives creamy and at temperature. Steaks seared and rested properly. Pasta tossed in the pan moments before it hits the plate. These are dishes built for the dining room, not a delivery bag.
The full bar pours cocktails that go beyond what most I-Drive restaurants offer. The Negroni is built with intent. The Espresso Martini delivers a jolt that turns tired convention-goers into engaged dinner companions. The wine list includes Italian and California selections that pair naturally with the scratch-made Italian menu.
Rosen Shingle Creek handles the logistics of your trip. Vincenzo handles the part you will actually talk about when you get home.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
The Navarra Group opened Vincenzo on International Drive in 2014 and has operated it with the same family-first philosophy for over a decade. Over 33 years of hospitality experience taught them that simple truth: treat every guest like they matter, because they do.
There is no dress code and no minimum. Come for a beer at the bar or stay for a four-course dinner with wine. The staff treats both visits equally. Upscale vibes, casual comfort.
Rosen Shingle Creek guests — whether in town for a conference at the OCCC or visiting the parks — find Vincenzo to be exactly the kind of restaurant they want: genuine Italian food, honest pricing, and a warm atmosphere that does not try too hard.
4,000+ reviews and a decade of nightly service on International Drive prove it.
Hands down the best Italian on I-Drive. The scallop risotto was restaurant-of-the-year quality.

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 Rosen Shingle Creek, it is 2.6 miles north via Universal Blvd — a 8-minute drive or a quick 8-minute drive.
The address is 8255 International Drive, Suite 112, Orlando, FL 32819. Complimentary valet is waiting at the door every evening.
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.
Skip the takeout. Walk over or drive two minutes. The experience is worth leaving the hotel room for.
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 — ideal for convention groups staying at the Rosen Shingle Creek.
From a solo Negroni at the bar to a 40-person conference 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. And at 2.6 miles from Rosen Shingle Creek, it is close enough that takeout does not make sense when the real thing is right there.
