Craft cocktails at Vincenzo Cucina Italiana on International Drive Orlando

The cocktail program at Vincenzo is built around Italian tradition and quality ingredients. The Negroni is made the way it should be — balanced, bitter, and stirred properly. The Aperol Spritz is light and refreshing, ideal for starting the evening. The espresso martini combines fresh-pulled espresso with vodka and coffee liqueur for a drink that has become a signature of the Vincenzo bar. Seasonal cocktails rotate throughout the year, using fresh fruits, house-made syrups, and premium spirits. This is not a chain bar or a sports bar. This is a real cocktail program inside a family-owned Italian restaurant.

Martini Tuesday

Every Tuesday evening, Vincenzo features Martini Tuesday with martini specials at the bar. Whether you prefer a classic dry martini, an espresso martini, or a seasonal variation, Tuesday is the night to enjoy martinis at Vincenzo on International Drive. It is a great excuse to start the week with a cocktail and stay for dinner.

Wine Down Wednesday

Wednesday nights at Vincenzo mean Wine Down Wednesday — half off all wines by the glass, all night. The wine list features Italian and domestic selections curated to pair with the dinner menu. Whether you are meeting friends after work, enjoying a midweek date night, or simply unwinding with a glass of wine before dinner, Wednesday at Vincenzo is one of the easiest evenings on International Drive. Wine Down Wednesday has become a weekly tradition for many of our regular guests.

Happy Hour Schedule

Vincenzo's happy hour is one of the most welcoming on International Drive. Monday features all-night happy hour from 5 PM to close. Tuesday through Friday, happy hour runs from 5 to 7 PM. Craft cocktails, wine, and beer are all available at happy hour pricing. It is a great way to begin the evening before staying for dinner — many guests start at the bar with cocktails and then move to the dining room for handmade pasta, steaks, or seafood.

Italian Wine List

Beyond cocktails, Vincenzo offers a curated wine list with Italian and domestic selections. Reds, whites, and sparkling wines are available by the glass and by the bottle. The wine list is designed to complement the Italian menu — from a crisp Pinot Grigio with seafood to a bold Chianti with steak. The staff is happy to recommend pairings, whether you are a wine enthusiast or just looking for something good to drink with dinner.

Stay for Dinner

Cocktails at Vincenzo are only part of the experience. The full Italian dinner menu is available every evening, and many guests who come for drinks end up staying for a meal. Handmade pasta is rolled and cut fresh every morning. USDA Prime steaks include filet mignon, New York strip, and bone-in ribeye. Fresh seafood features Chilean sea bass, Florida grouper, Faroe Island salmon, lobster ravioli, and scallop risotto. Start with cocktails at the bar. Stay for dinner in the dining room. That is how an evening at Vincenzo works.

Date Night Cocktails

Cocktails and Italian dinner make a natural date night on International Drive. The atmosphere at Vincenzo is warm and inviting — not loud, not rushed, not a scene.

With complimentary valet parking, the entire evening feels effortless. Whether you are celebrating an anniversary, a birthday, or just a Tuesday, cocktails at Vincenzo set the tone for a great evening together.

Cocktails for Convention and Hotel Guests

International Drive is home to the Orange County Convention Center and dozens of hotels. After a full day of meetings, conferences, or trade shows, Vincenzo is a welcome change from hotel lobbies and chain restaurants. The bar is open every evening from 5 PM, and happy hour pricing is available to start the night. Convention groups and hotel guests regularly choose Vincenzo for after-work cocktails, team dinners, and client entertainment. Complimentary valet parking makes arriving easy after a long day.

Complimentary Valet Parking

Vincenzo offers complimentary valet parking every evening at the front entrance of International Drive. Pull up, hand over the keys, and walk straight into the restaurant. When the evening is over, your car is waiting at the door. No parking garages, no parking fees, no searching for a spot. On International Drive, that matters.

Private Dining Available

For private events, birthdays, or celebrations, the Amalfi Room at Vincenzo seats 15 to 50 guests with all-inclusive packages available. Contact the events team at (407) 745-4030 or visit the private events page for details.
