The complimentary valet parking at the restaurant makes arrival easy once you get there.
If you are exploring Orlando beyond downtown and plan to visit I-Drive attractions, theme parks, or the convention center area, Vincenzo fits naturally into an evening on International Drive. The restaurant is open 7 days a week from 5 PM to 10 PM.
Handmade Italian Food, Made from Scratch
Vincenzo is not a chain restaurant. Every pasta is handmade in-house daily. Steaks are USDA Prime, hand-selected and hand-cut. Sauces are prepared from scratch. The lobster ravioli, fresh gnocchi, pappardelle with short rib ragu, and seafood linguine are all made the day they are served. For guests who appreciate real Italian cooking, the food at Vincenzo speaks for itself.
