International Drive Has Hundreds of Restaurants — One Stands Out
International Drive is Orlando's busiest dining corridor. Stretching for miles through the tourist district, I-Drive is lined with every kind of restaurant imaginable — from fast food chains to themed eateries to hotel restaurants. But if you are looking for the best restaurant on I-Drive, the one that locals actually recommend, you will find it on International Drive.
Vincenzo Cucina Italiana has been voted Orlando's number one Italian restaurant every year since 2014. That kind of consistency does not happen by accident. It happens because every dish is made from scratch, every steak is hand-cut USDA Prime, and every guest is treated with genuine Italian hospitality.
What Sets Vincenzo Apart on I-Drive
Most restaurants on International Drive cater to volume. They serve hundreds of covers a night with standardized menus and frozen ingredients. Vincenzo takes the opposite approach. Our pasta is handmade fresh every day — gnocchi, pappardelle, lasagna, and seasonal specials that change with what is freshest. Our steaks are USDA Prime, the highest grade available, hand-selected and prepared with the care they deserve.
The seafood program is equally serious. Fresh Chilean Sea Bass, calamari, Linguine Shrimp & Crab Fra Diavolo, and seafood pasta feature ingredients that arrive daily, not from a freezer truck. Pair any dish with a selection from our curated Italian wine list or one of our signature craft cocktails, and you have a dining experience that no chain on I-Drive can match.

Prime Location on International Drive
Vincenzo is located on International Drive, one of International Drive's most recognizable addresses. We sit right next to ICON Park, making it easy to combine dinner with the observation wheel, the SEA LIFE Aquarium, or Madame Tussauds. The Orange County Convention Center is just minutes south on I-Drive, and Universal's new Epic Universe theme park is a short drive north.
For hotel guests staying anywhere on I-Drive, Vincenzo is centrally located and easy to reach. Our complimentary valet parking means you never have to deal with the notoriously tricky I-Drive parking situation.

Happy Hour on International Drive
Before dinner, take advantage of I-Drive's best happy hour. Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM, Vincenzo offers $4 beers, $7 wines, and $10 craft cocktails. Monday happy hour runs all night. And on Wednesdays, Wine Down night brings half off all wines by the glass — the perfect way to start your evening on International Drive.
Private Dining for I-Drive Groups
Whether you are on I-Drive for a convention, a family reunion, or a special celebration, our Amalfi Room offers private dining for 15 to 50 guests. All-inclusive packages start at $110 per person. It is the kind of private event space that I-Drive desperately needs more of — genuine fine dining in a dedicated room, not a partitioned section of a noisy restaurant.
