The Closest Italian Restaurant to Universal

Your wedding guests are staying at Universal resort hotels. They do not want to eat at the hotel restaurant every night. Vincenzo is on International Drive, approximately 10 minutes from Universal Orlando Resort. Royal Pacific, Portofino Bay, Hard Rock Hotel, and Cabana Bay are all a short ride away.

Our wedding party stayed at the Royal Pacific and Vincenzo was a short ride away. The Italian food was so much better than anything at the resort.

Off-Property

Off-Property Wedding Dining

Hotel ballrooms serve hotel food. Vincenzo serves handmade pasta, fresh seafood, USDA Prime steaks, and homemade desserts in a real Italian restaurant. Your rehearsal dinner, welcome dinner, or reception feels personal because it is personal. Our events team works directly with you on menu, bar, timeline, and every detail.

Dining off-property gives your wedding guests something to look forward to beyond the parks. A real restaurant with real food, warm hospitality, and the kind of evening that feels like a celebration instead of a hotel event.
