Thanksgiving Dinner Near Universal Studios Orlando — $55 Holiday Special

Vincenzo Cucina Italiana offers a $55-per-person Thanksgiving Dinner Special featuring a traditional holiday meal, giving visitors an opportunity to celebrate without preparing dinner themselves.
Guests who prefer Italian food can also order from the restaurant’s regular menu rather than choosing the Thanksgiving special. The family-owned restaurant is open from 5 PM to 10 PM on Thanksgiving, and reservations are strongly recommended for families and groups.
The $55 Thanksgiving Dinner Special centers on roasted turkey served with creamy mashed potatoes and housemade stuffing. Cornbread and roasted Brussels sprouts add traditional seasonal sides to the meal. Pumpkin cheesecake provides a holiday-inspired dessert to complete the special menu.
Guests who would rather enjoy Italian food can choose from the regular dinner menu, including selections such as lobster ravioli, chicken Marsala, or any of Vincenzo’s other Italian specialties.
