Handmade Italian Food, A Comfortable Dinner After the Parks

Handmade Pasta, Prime Steaks & Fresh Seafood

Everything at Vincenzo is made from scratch. Our pasta is rolled and cut by hand daily. The lasagna is layered with slow-cooked bolognese and creamy bechamel. Potato gnocchi are light and pillowy. The scallop risotto is finished with saffron and butter. This is real Italian cooking, not reheated theme park food.

Our USDA Prime steaks come from Creekstone Farms and are cooked to order. The Chilean sea bass is pan-seared in champagne butter. The ossobuco is braised for hours until it falls off the bone. With 4,000+ reviews and the Navarra Group's 30+ years of experience, this is the meal your Epic Universe trip deserves.

Appetizers, Entrees, Desserts & Cocktails

Start with sauteed calamari or burrata with roasted tomatoes. Move to lobster ravioli, braised short ribs, or a 14-oz New York strip. Finish with housemade tiramisu — espresso-soaked ladyfingers layered with mascarpone. Every course is made to be savored, not rushed.

Kids 10 and under have their own menu starting. Adults can enjoy craft cocktails, an Italian wine list, and happy hour specials. Whether you are feeding a family of six or celebrating a date night after the park, the menu covers everyone at the table.

Dining Near Epic Universe

Dining Near Epic Universe on International Drive

Universal's Epic Universe opened in May 2025 as the largest and most ambitious theme park built in Orlando in over two decades. Located at 1001 Epic Blvd in southwest Orlando, the park features five themed worlds — Celestial Park, Super Nintendo World, How to Train Your Dragon Isle of Berk, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Ministry of Magic, and Dark Universe — with over 50 rides, attractions, and experiences drawing millions of visitors each year.

Inside the park, dining options include The Atlantic (fine dining in Celestial Park), Mead Hall (Viking banquet hall in Isle of Berk), The Blue Dragon (Pan-Asian in Celestial Park), and Toadstool Cafe (themed dining in Super Nintendo World). These are excellent but they operate at theme park prices, with long waits during peak hours and limited reservation availability.

Outside the park, the International Drive corridor stretching north from Epic Universe is one of the most concentrated restaurant districts in Orlando. Within a 3–5 mile drive, guests can find Italian, steaks, seafood, Mexican, Japanese, and more — all at off-site prices with full bars, happy hours, and a more relaxed pace. ICON Park, about 3 miles north, is a popular post-park dinner destination with several sit-down restaurants, entertainment, and easy rideshare access from Epic Universe.

Vincenzo Cucina Italiana has been on International Drive at ICON Park since 2014 and serves guests coming from Epic Universe, Universal Studios, the Convention Center, SeaWorld, and the surrounding resort hotels nightly. The restaurant offers a 10% dinner discount for anyone with an Epic Universe ticket or annual pass.

How to Get to Vincenzo from Epic Universe

By rideshare: Request an Uber or Lyft from the Epic Universe entrance. Tell the driver ICON Park on International Drive. The ride is about 3 miles and takes less than 10 minutes. Drop-off is right at the restaurant.

By car: Head north on International Drive from Epic Universe for about 3 miles. Vincenzo is at ICON Park, 8255 International Drive. Complimentary valet parking every evening — pull up and hand over the keys.

Timing: Most guests leave Epic Universe between 5 and 6 PM. For a 6:00 or 6:30 dinner reservation, leave the park by 5:30. Vincenzo opens at 5 PM nightly, 7 days a week.
