"Staying at Cabana Bay with three kids under ten. We needed a real dinner after a week of quick-service meals. Vincenzo was perfect. The kids ate pasta off the kids menu and were happy. My husband had the ribeye and I had the seafood linguine. Both incredible. The restaurant is family-friendly without being a chain restaurant. We will absolutely come back."

"We go to Cabana Bay every summer. This year we found Vincenzo and it changed our vacation dinner game. The gnocchi was the best I have ever had. The valet parking was so easy after a long day at the parks. The kids actually talked about the restaurant the next morning. That never happens."

"Birthday dinner for our daughter during our Universal trip. We are staying at Cabana Bay and drove over to Vincenzo on I-Drive. The staff brought out a dessert with a candle and the whole table sang. The meatball appetizer was delicious, the lasagna was layered and rich, and the tiramisu was the real deal. A restaurant that treats your family like family."
