“We literally walked from our hotel. Best decision of the trip. The gnocchi was pillowy and perfect.”

You could eat at the hotel restaurant. You could try the nearest chain. Or you could drive to Vincenzo Cucina Italiana at ICON Park and eat linguine with Middle Neck clams in white wine, a 20oz bone-in ribeye — the biggest cut on the menu, and finish with limoncello cake with mascarpone cream. The choice, frankly, is not close.
Vincenzo is family-owned by the Navarra Group — 33 years in hospitality, one restaurant, and a kitchen that cooks everything from scratch. The 4,000+ reviews across Google, OpenTable, and TripAdvisor are earned nightly.
Happy Hour runs Monday all night and Tuesday-Friday 5-7 PM. Wine Down Wednesday means half-off wines by the glass. The Amalfi Room seats 15-50 for private events. Complimentary valet. No dress code. Kids menu $13.
Near Terra Luna Resort, the best dinner is at Vincenzo. Open nightly 5-10 PM.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
The Navarra Group opened Vincenzo in 2014 with a simple goal: give Orlando a family-owned Italian restaurant that serves real food. More than a decade and 4,000+ reviews later, that goal holds.
The dining room seats tourists, locals, convention groups, and families in equal measure. Business dinners happen alongside birthday celebrations. The atmosphere makes room for all of them.
Private events are a strength. The Amalfi Room handles 15 to 50 guests — rehearsal dinners, corporate outings, milestone birthdays. Full restaurant buyouts accommodate 150 or more with custom menus.
Being family-owned means decisions happen at the table, not in a corporate office. That responsiveness is what chains cannot replicate.

Black Angus from Creekstone Farms
Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Vincenzo is a straight shot down International Drive from the Universal area — about 7 minutes with normal traffic. No highway merges, no toll booths, no GPS required.
Free valet parking at ICON Park means you do not waste time looking for a spot. Drive up, hand over the keys, and dinner is already waiting.
ICON Park is an entertainment district in its own right. The Wheel, StarFlyer, shops, and street performers create an atmosphere that extends your evening well beyond the restaurant.
For Universal guests looking for something better than CityWalk, the drive south on I-Drive leads to Vincenzo.
Started at happy hour and stayed for dinner. The Espresso Martini and lobster ravioli were both incredible.

The Dishes People Come Back For
Chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. Fettuccine alfredo with jumbo shrimp. Made fresh, every night.
The bar at Vincenzo is not an afterthought — it is a destination. Italian and California wines by the glass and bottle. Craft cocktails including Espresso Martinis, Negronis, and Aperol Spritzes. Draft and bottled beer. After-dinner digestifs.
Happy Hour makes the early evening affordable: $4 beers, $7 wines, $10 cocktails, Monday all night and Tuesday-Friday 5-7 PM. Wine Down Wednesday adds half-off wines by the glass all evening.
Private dining options include the Amalfi Room (15-50 guests) and full restaurant buyouts (150+). Corporate dinners, rehearsal dinners, birthday parties, and team celebrations are handled by a dedicated events team with over 1,500 events under their belt.
Whether you are hosting 5 or 50, Vincenzo has the space, the food, and the experience to make it work.
This restaurant is the reason to stay near ICON Park. Real Italian food steps from the hotel.

Made the Way It Should Be
Homemade lasagna. Meatballs with San Marzano sauce. The Italian food you remember, done right.
Vincenzo does not cater to one type of guest. It serves all of them. Families with toddlers sit near couples on anniversary dates. Convention groups fill the Amalfi Room while walk-ins take the last open two-top.
A $13 kids menu with a beverage. Complimentary valet. OpenTable reservations and walk-ins welcome. Gluten-free and vegetarian options available. No dress code. Open 7 days, 5 to 10 PM.
That is the Vincenzo proposition: a restaurant good enough for a special occasion and comfortable enough for a Tuesday night.
