Handmade Italian dinner near AAU Volleyball Orlando
The Short Answer

Vincenzo on International Drive

Over 300,000 people come to Orlando for the AAU Girls Junior National Volleyball Championships every summer. Most of them end up eating at chain restaurants or grabbing concession food at the convention center. You do not have to do that.

Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is a family-owned Italian restaurant on International Drive, near the Orange County Convention Center. Handmade pasta, fresh seafood, a kids menu your athletes will actually want to eat, and complimentary valet parking so you skip the parking lot entirely. Walk in wearing team gear — nobody cares. It is a real dinner without the pretense.

Happy Hour for the Parents

Kids Eat, Parents Decompress

After a full day of volleyball, the kids need food and the parents need a drink. Vincenzo has both covered. The kids menu is $13 with a beverage included — spaghetti and meatballs, chicken tenders, pizza, fettuccine alfredo. The kind of food your athletes will clean off the plate.

For the parents: full bar with craft cocktails, Italian wine, and happy hour. Monday is happy hour all night. Tuesday through Friday, 5 to 7 PM. Wine Down Wednesday is half off all wines by the glass. Martini Tuesday has martini specials all evening. You earned it.

What Volleyball Families Say About Vincenzo

★★★★★

"We Googled 'where to eat near AAU Volleyball' and found Vincenzo. Best decision of the trip. The lobster ravioli was unreal, the kids demolished their chicken tenders, and the valet meant we did not have to deal with convention center parking twice in one day."

★★★★★

"Three families from our volleyball club came here together. They seated all of us, the waitstaff was patient with our crew of hungry teenagers, and the happy hour saved us after watching matches all day. We came back twice during the tournament."

Jennifer
Atlanta, GA — OpenTable
★★★★★

"Finally a real restaurant near the convention center that actually welcomes families in team gear. My daughter ordered the cheese pizza, I had the Chilean Sea Bass. Both of us cleaned our plates. Free valet is a huge bonus when you are exhausted from a tournament."
