“Three conventions in Orlando and this is always where our group ends up. The private room is ideal for business and the food puts hotel restaurants to shame.”
Dr. Karen Mitchell, Chicago · Google
The Menu
Housemade pasta, steaks, seafood, chicken parmigiana, lasagna, cocktails, wine, desserts, and a kids menu — all served in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

The Hyatt Regency Orlando is built for scale. 1,641 rooms, 315,000 square feet of meeting space, and a direct connection to the Orange County Convention Center. During major conventions, every one of those rooms is full. The hotel restaurants cannot absorb that demand and maintain quality.
That is not a criticism — it is physics. When a kitchen has to serve hundreds of covers during a convention dinner rush, shortcuts are inevitable. The pasta comes from a box. The sauces come from a container. The steaks are cooked in batches.
Vincenzo operates at a different scale. A single family-owned restaurant at ICON Park, 1.3 miles north on I-Drive, making everything from scratch for a manageable number of guests. The quality difference is immediately obvious.
Convention attendees who make the four-minute drive on night one come back on night two with colleagues. By night three, they are booking the Amalfi Room for the team dinner.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
First-time visitors to Vincenzo usually ask the server what to order. The answer depends on what kind of evening you want. A casual dinner for two might start with burrata and prosciutto, move to chicken parmigiana and gnocchi, and finish with tiramisu.
A business dinner calls for the filet mignon or Chilean sea bass, a bottle of Barolo, and the lobster ravioli as a shared appetizer. The Amalfi Room provides privacy for sensitive conversations.
A family dinner means chicken parm for the parents, $13 kids meals for the children, and a shared dessert that everyone fights over. The atmosphere is casual — no dress code, no pretense.
Convention groups ordering family-style can feed a table of ten with platters of pasta, salad, bread, and proteins starting at $59 per person. It is more food than anyone expects and better than anyone hoped.
Our leadership dinner for 30 was handled beautifully. Three courses, wine pairings, and a presentation setup. The filet mignon was the best any of us had all year.

Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Exit the Hyatt Regency Orlando. Turn right on International Drive heading north. Pass Pointe Orlando. Arrive at ICON Park. Pull up to the valet. That is the entire trip. 1.3 miles, four minutes, zero complexity.
The valet is complimentary every evening. No tipping required, no parking lot navigation, no circling for spaces. Your car is waiting when dinner ends.
After dinner, ICON Park offers entertainment: The Wheel at ICON Park for views of Orlando, the StarFlyer for adrenaline, or a simple walk around the complex to settle a full stomach.
The return to the Hyatt Regency is the same four minutes in reverse. Convention attendees can have a full Italian dinner and be back at the hotel before the late-night networking event starts.
Found this gem during the IT convention. Four of us came for happy hour, stayed for dinner, and ended up closing out the bar. Best evening of the trip by far.

The Dishes People Come Back For
Chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. Fettuccine alfredo with jumbo shrimp. Made fresh, every night.
Vincenzo has earned over 4,000 reviews across Google, OpenTable, Yelp, and TripAdvisor. The aggregate rating tells the story: Google 4.5, OpenTable 4.7, TripAdvisor 4.3. This is not a restaurant that relies on location to fill seats.
The reviews from Hyatt Regency guests follow a pattern. Surprise at the quality. Gratitude for the recommendation. Regret that they did not come sooner. The phrase "best meal of our trip" appears in hundreds of reviews.
Convention-specific reviews mention the Amalfi Room, the attentive service, the willingness to accommodate dietary restrictions, and the fact that the restaurant feels personal despite being on International Drive.
OpenTable Diners' Choice. Golden Fork Award. These are earned through consistency over years, not a single good night.
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.

Homemade lasagna. Meatballs with San Marzano sauce. The Italian food you remember, done right.
