Deciding where to eat during a stay at Embassy Suites Orlando International Drive ICON Park can be as simple as exploring the attractions and restaurants immediately outside the hotel. Visitors may want an evening meal that suits a group with different preferences.
Vincenzo Cucina Italiana provides a comfortable restaurant setting with a complete Italian menu rather than limited counter-service choices. Families also benefit from a $13 children’s menu with a beverage for ages 10 and under.
Scallop risotto combines jumbo sea scallops with creamy truffle Parmigiano risotto for a seafood-focused entrée. The 14-ounce New York strip gives guests a premium beef alternative. Nutella cheesecake brings rich chocolate-hazelnut flavors to dessert.
With options covering seafood, beef, and traditional Italian favorites, the restaurant accommodates different tastes within the same group.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.

Found this place on a random walk down I-Drive. Came back three nights in a row. The linguine clams were incredible.

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.
The Wine Down Wednesday deal is unbeatable. Half-off wines and the food is genuinely outstanding.

The Dishes People Come Back For
Chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. Fettuccine alfredo with jumbo shrimp. Made fresh, every night.

Happy Hour: Monday all night, Tuesday through Friday 5 to 7 PM. $4 bottled beers. $7 wines by the glass. $10 cocktails. Wine Down Wednesday drops wine-by-the-glass prices in half for the entire evening.

Start with a drink and see where the evening takes you. Most guests stay for dinner.
Our server recommended the ossobuco and it changed my life. Family-owned and you can tell.

Made the Way It Should Be
Homemade lasagna. Meatballs with San Marzano sauce. The Italian food you remember, done right.
Expect real Italian food — handmade pasta, Prime steaks, fresh seafood. Expect a full bar with craft cocktails and a wine list that spans Italy and California. Expect desserts made in-house every day.
Expect no dress code, no pretension, and no pressure. Shorts, sandals, and park lanyards are common. So are suits and dresses. Vincenzo welcomes both without distinction.
Expect complimentary valet, attentive service, and the kind of meal that makes you want to come back before you leave Orlando.
