A scratch kitchen inside ICON Park. Private Amalfi Room. View of the Wheel. Nothing else like it on I-Drive.

“I have eaten at a lot of restaurants in Orlando and this one is genuinely different. Not gimmicky — just really, really good Italian food in a beautiful setting. The gnocchi changed my life.”

The Menu
No chain recipes. No corporate playbook. Every dish is created and made from scratch by our kitchen team, every single night.
What makes Vincenzo unlike any restaurant in Orlando
Orlando has no shortage of restaurants. But walk into most of them on International Drive and you get the same thing: reheated food, corporate menus, and a dining experience designed by committee. Vincenzo is different. Fundamentally different.
This is a scratch kitchen. Every dish is made from scratch, every night. The pasta is handmade. The meatballs are hand-rolled. The sauces are cooked fresh. The tiramisu is homemade. There is no freezer full of pre-made entrees waiting to be microwaved.
That commitment to cooking from scratch is what sets Vincenzo apart from every other restaurant on International Drive. It is what earned 4,000+ reviews and a 4.7 rating. It is what brings locals back weekly and turns first-time visitors into regulars.
The Navarra Group has been running Vincenzo since 2014 with over 30 years of hospitality experience. This is not a concept restaurant or a themed attraction. It is a family-owned kitchen that takes Italian food seriously while keeping everything relaxed and welcoming.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night.
Most restaurants in Orlando offer a roped-off corner and call it private dining. The Amalfi Room at Vincenzo is a real private space. Its own room. Its own atmosphere. Seating for 15 to 50 guests. AV equipment for presentations or slideshows. A dedicated event coordinator.
Custom Italian menus start at $59 per person. Bar packages from $28 per person. The event team has hosted over 1,500 celebrations, business dinners, rehearsal dinners, and corporate events since 2014.
For smaller groups, the semi-private area accommodates up to 25. For milestone events, full restaurant buyouts handle up to 150 guests. That flexibility is rare on I-Drive.
The combination of private space, scratch kitchen food, and experienced event support makes the Amalfi Room one of the most unique private dining experiences in Orlando.

Black Angus from Creekstone Farms
Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides.
Vincenzo sits inside ICON Park on International Drive — one of Orlando's most recognizable landmarks. The Wheel glows outside the windows. The energy of I-Drive surrounds the building. But inside, the atmosphere is warm, intimate, and completely its own.
That contrast is what makes the location unique. You are in the middle of Orlando's busiest entertainment district, but the restaurant feels like a neighborhood Italian spot. Dark tones, candlelight, a full bar with real cocktails.
Complimentary valet parking adds to the experience. Pull up, hand over the keys, walk in. No parking garages. No meters. Just dinner at one of the most unique spots on I-Drive.
After dinner, you are steps from the Wheel, StarFlyer, and the rest of ICON Park. Near Universal, Epic Universe, SeaWorld, and the Convention Center.
The Amalfi Room is one of the coolest private dining spaces I have seen. We hosted our rehearsal dinner here and it was flawless.

The Dishes People Come Back For
Chicken parmigiana, fettuccine alfredo, and more. Made fresh, every night.
Most unique restaurants lean hard into either fine dining or themed gimmicks. Vincenzo does neither. It is a casual Italian restaurant that happens to look and feel elevated. No dress code. Shorts and park clothes welcome. Date nights and business dinners welcome too.
That range is unique. You can bring three kids after a day at the parks, and the restaurant feels comfortable. You can bring a client for a business dinner, and the atmosphere impresses. Same room. Same food. Different occasions, same quality.
Happy hour runs Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM. $4 beer, $7 wine, $10 cocktails, and 30% off select appetizers. Wine Down Wednesday is half off all wines by the glass. That kind of value at this kind of restaurant is rare.
From the scratch kitchen to the Amalfi Room to the ICON Park location to the no-dress-code policy — everything about Vincenzo is designed to be real, relaxed, and unlike anything else on International Drive.
Love that you can come in shorts from the parks and still feel like you are somewhere special. The tiramisu and lobster ravioli were outstanding.
