The Local Pick

Where Orlando Actually Eats

Orlando locals rarely eat at Disney Springs. They head to International Drive, Sand Lake Road, and the Dr. Phillips area for better food, better prices, and a more relaxed experience. These corridors are where you find the city's real restaurant scene.

Vincenzo at ICON Park has been a local favorite since 2014. Handmade pasta, USDA Prime steaks, fresh seafood, craft cocktails, happy hour, and a kids menu. No theme park atmosphere — just a great Italian restaurant.
