Orlando's Italian Wine Bar at Vincenzo Cucina Italiana
Orlando has plenty of places to order a glass of wine. What it does not have enough of is places where the wine list was built with care, where the staff can actually talk about the difference between a Barolo and a Brunello, and where the atmosphere invites you to slow down and enjoy what is in your glass. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is that place.
Located at Vue at 360 on International Drive, Vincenzo has been family-owned since 1991 and has built a wine program that rivals restaurants twice its size. The list is curated with an Italian focus, drawing from the greatest wine regions in the country. Tuscany, Piedmont, the Veneto, Sicily, Campania. These are wines selected to pair with the restaurant's handmade Italian cuisine, and every one of them tells a story.
The Wine List
Vincenzo's wine program spans the breadth of Italian winemaking with thoughtful selections from international regions as well. You will find:
- ✦ Prosecco: Light and effervescent, perfect for starting the evening
- ✦ Pinot Grigio: Crisp and clean from the Veneto and Alto Adige
- ✦ Chianti: The backbone of Tuscan winemaking, from Classico to Riserva
- ✦ Barolo: The king of Italian reds from Piedmont, bold and complex
- ✦ Brunello di Montalcino: Elegant and powerful, pure Sangiovese from Tuscany
- ✦ Montepulciano d'Abruzzo: Rich and approachable everyday Italian red
- ✦ California & International: Select wines from Napa, Sonoma, and beyond
Wine Down Wednesday
Wednesday night at Vincenzo is sacred for wine lovers. Every bottle on the curated wine list is half price for the entire evening. This is not a limited selection of house wines pushed to clear inventory. The full list is included. That Barolo you have been eyeing? Half price. The Brunello you have always wanted to try? Half price. A bottle of Prosecco to celebrate a Wednesday? Half price.
Wine Down Wednesday has become one of the most popular nights at the restaurant. Couples come for date night. Groups of friends make it a weekly tradition. Even solo wine enthusiasts sit at the bar and work through the list one glass at a time. The staff is trained to guide you through the options, suggest pairings with food, and help you discover Italian wines you may not have tried before.
Sunday Wine Night
Sundays bring another opportunity to enjoy Vincenzo's wine program with special Sunday Wine Night offerings. It is the perfect way to close out the weekend before the work week begins. A quiet glass of wine, a plate of pasta, and the warm glow of candlelight in one of Orlando's most elegant dining rooms.
Wine and Food Pairing
What makes Vincenzo's wine bar experience stand apart from standalone wine bars in Orlando is the food. This is a full-service Italian restaurant with a kitchen producing handmade pasta, fresh seafood, USDA Prime steaks, and appetizers that are designed to pair with wine. A glass of Chianti with the meatball appetizer. A bottle of Barolo with the osso buco. Prosecco with bruschetta and burrata. The combinations are endless, and the staff can help you find the perfect match.
Unlike a typical wine bar where the food menu is an afterthought of charcuterie boards and flatbreads, Vincenzo gives you a complete dining experience alongside your wine. Start with a glass at the bar, then move to a table for a full Italian dinner. The evening can be as casual or as elaborate as you want it to be.
The Bar at Vincenzo
The bar area is intimate and inviting. Dark wood, soft lighting, and a bartender who knows the wine list inside and out. Whether you are on a date, meeting friends, or simply enjoying an evening alone with a good bottle, the atmosphere at Vincenzo's bar is designed to make you feel at home. It is one of the few places on International Drive where you can actually have a conversation over wine without shouting over music or sports commentary.
