“We found what might be the best Italian restaurant in Orlando. The lobster bisque to start, then the lobster ravioli — both were flawless.”
Katherine & Paul, Napa Valley · OpenTable

You are at Hilton Orlando. You are hungry. The hotel restaurant is fine, but you want something real. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is 2.1 miles north on International Drive at ICON Park, and it is the answer to that question.
Handmade pasta. USDA Prime steaks from Creekstone Farms. Fresh seafood. A full bar with craft cocktails. Desserts made in-house daily. A family-owned restaurant with 4,000+ reviews and a Golden Fork Award.
This is where locals eat on International Drive. This is where convention guests end up after they try the chains once and decide they want better. This is where date nights happen and birthdays are celebrated.
The lobster ravioli, the filet mignon, the gnocchi, the tiramisu — these are the dishes that make people say 'this is the best Italian restaurant in Orlando.'
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
You pull up. The valet takes your car — complimentary. You walk in to a warm, comfortable dining room with a full bar, ambient lighting, and a staff that has been doing this since 2014.
You order drinks — maybe an Espresso Martini or a glass of Chianti. The bread arrives. You look at a menu of handmade pastas, prime steaks, fresh seafood, and Italian classics that do not need reinventing.
The food arrives and it is obvious: this is not chain restaurant Italian. The portions are generous, the flavors are real, and the quality is consistent — 4,000+ reviews cannot all be wrong.
You leave satisfied. You tip the valet. You walk past the Orlando Eye at ICON Park. And you tell everyone at the convention the next day where they should eat tonight.
The server knew every wine on the list and recommended a Chianti Classico that paired perfectly with our ossobuco. This is hospitality done right.

This place is a hidden gem on I-Drive. Not a chain, not overpriced tourist food. Real Italian with real heart. The tiramisu alone is worth the trip.

Made the Way It Should Be
Homemade lasagna. Meatballs with San Marzano sauce. The Italian food you remember, done right.
Because it is 2.1 miles away and it is better than anything closer. Because the pasta is handmade. Because the steaks are Prime. Because the valet is free and the dress code does not exist.
Because 4,000+ people left reviews saying the same thing: this is real Italian food in Orlando.
Open tonight. Reserve on OpenTable or call (407) 745-4030.
