Guest Reviews
"We are staying on I-Drive and tried Vincenzo on our first night. It became our go-to for the rest of the trip. The handmade pasta is unreal and the cocktails are fantastic. Cannot say enough good things."
"After a full day at ICON Park with the kids, we needed a real dinner. Vincenzo was perfect. Everyone ate well, the service was great, and the valet was free. This is how you end a day in Orlando."
"Came for Wine Down Wednesday and stayed for a full dinner. The burrata appetizer and the New York Strip were both incredible. This place is a real find on International Drive."
