“We celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary here and it was fabulous. Jay was a wonderful waiter. The lobster bisque, the chicken marsala, the pappardelle, and the cloud-soft tiramisu.”

Looking for things to do on International Drive tonight? Start with the entertainment surrounding ICON Park, where the Orlando Eye, Orlando StarFlyer, SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium, and Madame Tussauds Orlando offer different ways to experience the district. After checking attraction hours and choosing your activities, make dinner part of the evening at Vincenzo Cucina Italiana.
Family-owned since 2014, the restaurant serves Italian food, craft cocktails, and premium entrées. The combination of sightseeing, attractions, Italian food, and cocktails creates an evening plan that doesn’t require traveling across Orlando.
Begin your evening with Chicken Piccata. Lobster Ravioli adds an indulgent pasta option, while Honey Glazed Salmon provides a seafood alternative. Finish with Cannoli before continuing your evening around International Drive.
For guests planning around drink specials, Happy Hour features $4 bottled beer, $7 wine, and $10 cocktails all Monday evening from 5–10 PM and Tuesday through Friday from 5–7 PM. Wednesday also brings half off wines by the glass throughout dinner service.
Vincenzo is located at ICON Park directly on International Drive, across from the Orlando StarFlyer at 8255 International Drive, Suite 112. The restaurant welcomes dinner guests nightly from 5–10 PM, with complimentary valet parking available.
Its position in the entertainment district makes it practical to enjoy dinner as part of a larger I-Drive outing.
Family-owned since 2014 by the Navarra Group. Over 33 years of hospitality experience and more than 4,000 guest reviews.
No dress code. Happy hour Mon all night, Tue–Fri 5–7 PM. Wine Down Wednesday. Open nightly 5–10 PM.
We did happy hour, rode The Wheel, and came back for dinner. The short rib pappardelle was unreal. Then we walked over to Tin Roof for live music. Best night on I-Drive we have had.

Vincenzo is a scratch kitchen. Everything is made fresh every evening — handmade pasta, homemade potato gnocchi, braised short rib, USDA Black Angus Prime steaks, and fresh Florida seafood. This is not hotel restaurant Italian. This is the real thing.
Signature dishes include the Short Rib Pappardelle with wild mushrooms and Marsala truffle cream, the Lobster Ravioli stuffed with Maine lobster and ricotta, and the Scallop Risotto with truffle Parmigiano and jumbo sea scallops. Steak lovers can order a 10oz Filet Mignon or the 20oz Bone-In Ribeye from Creekstone Farms.
No dress code. Come in exactly what you are wearing. Vacation clothes, shorts, business casual — all welcome. Complimentary valet takes care of the car the moment you arrive.
Handmade Italian, Made Fresh Nightly
Lobster Ravioli. Short Rib Pappardelle. USDA Prime steaks. Homemade Tiramisu. All cooked to order.
After dinner at Vincenzo, you are already in the best spot on I-Drive to keep the night going. Tin Roof — a live music bar and restaurant inside ICON Park — is steps away. They typically have live bands most evenings, and the atmosphere is easy and fun. Walk over, grab a drink, and catch the set.
If you have not ridden The Wheel yet, it runs until late and is worth doing after dark. The Orlando lights from 400 feet up are a completely different view than during the day — the theme park fireworks in the distance, the glow of I-Drive below, the city spread out in every direction.
Pirate's Cove mini golf is across the street from ICON Park — a fun, low-key option if the group wants to keep moving. And the I-Ride Trolley runs until 10:30 PM on Red Line Stop 14 right at ICON Park, so getting back to your hotel is easy and cheap.
Loved how everything was in one place. Dinner at Vincenzo was incredible — the lobster ravioli is something else. Then we walked to Tin Roof for live music. No Uber, no hassle. Perfect night on I-Drive.

The reason ICON Park works for an evening on I-Drive is the same reason it works for families during the day: everything is together. The Wheel, StarFlyer, Madame Tussauds, SEA LIFE Aquarium, Museum of Illusions, Tin Roof, and Vincenzo — all within the same walkable plaza.
You can customize the night to fit the group. Two people on a date might do happy hour, The Wheel, and a long dinner. A group of friends might go straight to dinner, linger over cocktails, and end the night at Tin Roof. Families with kids can do the aquarium and museum in the afternoon and walk to Vincenzo at 5 for dinner before anyone gets too tired.
Vincenzo is at the center of it. Family-owned by the Navarra Group since 2014, with 4,000+ reviews and a kitchen that makes dinner the anchor of any night on International Drive.
