Italian Dinner After SeaWorld
The DoubleTree by Hilton near SeaWorld is one of the most popular family hotels in the area. Guests stay there for easy access to SeaWorld, Aquatica, and Discovery Cove. But when the park gates close and the sun goes down, the I-Drive corridor is lined with chains that all taste the same. Vincenzo is different. It is independently owned, family-operated Italian with handmade pasta, USDA Prime steaks, and fresh seafood that has earned 4,000+ reviews since 2014.
Open 7 days a week from 5 PM to 10 PM, with complimentary valet parking every evening.
A Real Dinner for DoubleTree Families
A day at SeaWorld means hot dogs, pretzels, and overpriced drinks. By evening, everyone at the DoubleTree is ready for something real. At Vincenzo, the pasta is made by hand every morning. The steaks are USDA Prime, cut in-house. The seafood is fresh, and the kitchen cares about every plate that goes out. It is the dinner that turns a good vacation day into a great one.
The menu works for everyone. Kids love the gnocchi, rigatoni, and meatballs. Adults gravitate to the lobster ravioli, Chilean sea bass, and bone-in ribeye. Couples use it as a date night away from the parks. The portions are generous, and the kitchen accommodates requests without hesitation.
