At Vincenzo Cucina Italiana, dinner is handmade and made from scratch every night. Guests come for the handmade pasta, homemade potato gnocchi, tender chicken parmigiana, fresh seafood, and slow-braised veal ossobuco. Steak lovers can enjoy USDA Black Angus Prime steaks from Creekstone Farms. A full kids menu makes dinner easy for families.
Our homemade tiramisu has been voted a guest favorite and remains one of the dishes people remember long after the night is over. This is not chain restaurant Italian. This is fresh pasta, rich sauces, prime steaks, and homemade desserts served the way Italian food should be.

Vincenzo is casual Italian — no dress code, shorts welcome, families welcome. Come as you are, whether in costume or business casual. The food is the same either way: handmade, fresh, and worth the short trip up the Drive.
Came here after MegaCon and it was exactly what we needed. Great pasta, great service, and the badge discount was a nice bonus. Will be back next year.

Black Angus from Creekstone Farms
Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Located at ICON Park on International Drive at 8255 International Drive Suite 112, Vincenzo is 5 minutes north of the Orange County Convention Center. Easy to reach by car, rideshare, or the I-Ride Trolley Red Line (Stop 14 at ICON Park, every 20 min, $2/ride).
Complimentary valet parking makes the evening simple from the moment you arrive. After a long convention day, the last thing you want is a parking headache — Vincenzo handles that for you.
Casual Italian: no dress code. Shorts welcome. Come straight from the convention floor. The atmosphere is warm, the kitchen is live, and dinner is made from scratch every night open from 5 to 10 PM, seven nights a week.
This is my go-to after the convention every year. The gnocchi is unforgettable and the staff always treats us right. The valet is a lifesaver after a long day.

We booked the private room for our convention group dinner and it was perfect. Staff was attentive, the food was incredible, and everyone left happy. This is the spot.
