The question is not whether to eat near Castle Hotel — it is where. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana at ICON Park on International Drive answers that question with handmade pasta, USDA Prime steaks, fresh seafood, a full bar, and 4,000+ reviews to back it up.
Start with burrata with prosciutto di Parma, beets, and heirloom tomatoes. Move to housemade gnocchi with pomodoro and burrata or the Florida grouper with crab risotto and citrus beurre blanc. The chicken parmigiana is breaded and fried fresh — served over spaghetti with San Marzano marinara and melted mozzarella. A 20oz bone-in ribeye — the biggest cut on the menu leads the steak program.
The experience extends beyond the plate: complimentary valet, happy hour, Wine Down Wednesday, the Amalfi Room for private gatherings, and a casual atmosphere where vacation clothes and business attire coexist comfortably.
Vincenzo. Italian from scratch. 5 to 10 PM. Reserve on OpenTable or walk in.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
Vincenzo is locally owned by the Navarra Group, a family with over 33 years of hospitality experience. Since 2014, the restaurant has served over a million guests — convention attendees, park visitors, and Orlando locals celebrating milestones.
That family foundation shapes everything. Servers greet guests warmly, the kitchen takes pride in every plate, and the atmosphere feels welcoming whether you arrive in a suit or shorts.
The Amalfi Room accommodates private gatherings of 15 to 50. Full restaurant buyouts handle 150 or more. Over 1,500 events hosted and counting.
In an area where chains dominate, Vincenzo stands apart as a restaurant built on family values and consistency.

Black Angus from Creekstone Farms
Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Step outside, head toward ICON Park, and you are at Vincenzo in minutes. No navigation app, no parking meter, no traffic.
Complimentary valet is available if you drive, but most nearby hotel guests walk. After a day at the parks, the short stroll to dinner feels like part of the vacation.
ICON Park comes alive in the evening — lights on The Wheel, music from the courtyard, families between attractions. Vincenzo sits right in that energy.
After dinner, walk back. No designated driver, no surge pricing. Just dinner and a short walk home.
Celebrated our 25th anniversary here. The veal ossobuco, the wine, the service — it was a night we will never forget.

The Dishes People Come Back For
Chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. Fettuccine alfredo with jumbo shrimp. Made fresh, every night.
Vincenzo's full bar anchors the evening. Aperol Spritzes, Espresso Martinis, Negronis, Italian reds and whites, California cabernets, draft beer, and a cocktail list that changes with the season.
Happy Hour runs Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM. That means $4 beers, $7 wines, and $10 cocktails — the best deal on I-Drive for a pre-dinner drink. Wine Down Wednesday adds half-off wines by the glass for the entire night.
Group dining is available in the Amalfi Room for 15 to 50 guests or via full restaurant buyout for 150 or more. Custom menus, AV capabilities, and coordinated service make every event seamless.
From a solo Negroni at the bar to a 40-person rehearsal dinner, Vincenzo handles both ends of the spectrum.
Best meal of our two-week Florida vacation. The short rib pappardelle was rich, complex, and beautifully plated.

Made the Way It Should Be
Homemade lasagna. Meatballs with San Marzano sauce. The Italian food you remember, done right.
Shorts welcome. Business casual welcome. Date night welcome. Kids in strollers welcome. Vincenzo has seen it all and seats everyone the same way — warmly.
The food is upscale. The atmosphere is comfortable. The parking is free. And the kitchen is open every night from 5 to 10 PM with a full menu, a full bar, and a $13 kids menu.
That combination — great food, zero pretense, genuine hospitality — is why guests from Castle Hotel Orlando keep Vincenzo on their dinner list.
