Thanksgiving Restaurant Near Epic Universe Orlando — Open for the Holiday

Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is open Thanksgiving evening from 5 PM to 10 PM, offering a $55 per person Thanksgiving Dinner Special: Roasted Turkey, Creamy Mashed Potatoes, Housemade Stuffing, Cornbread, Roasted Brussels Sprouts, and Pumpkin Cheesecake. The restaurant’s complete regular Italian dinner menu is also available.
For guests who prefer Italian over traditional Thanksgiving fare, the Chilean sea bass with artichoke and Prosecco butter offers a seafood-centered entrée.
