Thanksgiving Dinner in Orlando

An Italian Thanksgiving in Orlando

Thanksgiving is about gratitude, family, and a table full of incredible food. This year, let someone else handle the cooking. At Vincenzo Cucina Italiana, we offer a Thanksgiving dining experience that trades the stress of the kitchen for handmade pasta, USDA Prime steaks, fresh seafood, and an Italian wine list that pairs perfectly with the holiday. Our location at Vue at 360 on International Drive makes us one of the most convenient Thanksgiving restaurant options in Orlando for both locals and visitors.

Whether your family lives in Orlando or you're visiting for the holiday week, Vincenzo gives you a reason to put down the apron. No grocery store lines. No dishes. Just a beautiful meal in a warm, elegant setting with the people who matter most. That's what Thanksgiving dining in Orlando should feel like.

Why Italian for Thanksgiving?

Turkey is great, but so is lobster ravioli. An Italian Thanksgiving at Vincenzo means you still get the warmth and richness of a holiday meal — just with a different menu. Think handmade gnocchi in a creamy truffle sauce, pappardelle with braised short rib, burrata with truffle honey, and a bone-in ribeye that rivals anything coming out of a home oven. Our kitchen prepares everything fresh, from the pasta dough to the desserts, so every course feels like a celebration.

For seafood lovers, Thanksgiving dinner at Vincenzo offers whole branzino, lobster tail, shrimp scampi, and tuna tartare. Pair it all with a bottle from our curated Italian wine list — Barolo, Brunello, Amarone — and you've got a Thanksgiving dinner in Orlando that nobody at the table will forget. Finish with tiramisu or panna cotta instead of pumpkin pie. You won't miss it.

Private Thanksgiving in the Amalfi Room

Hosting a larger family gathering? Our private Amalfi Room is the perfect setting for a Thanksgiving dinner with your entire family. A dedicated space, your own server, and a custom menu built around what your group wants to eat. No shared dining room, no noise from other tables — just your family, great food, and a holiday you'll actually enjoy from start to finish. The Amalfi Room accommodates groups of all sizes and books quickly during the holiday season.
