"We stayed at Embassy Suites on I-Drive with the kids and wanted a real sit-down dinner. Found Vincenzo and it was perfect. The kids had pasta, we had the seafood linguine and a bottle of wine. The restaurant felt warm and personal, like a family place. Valet parking was a lifesaver after driving around Orlando all day."

"In town for a convention at the OCCC and staying at Embassy Suites. A colleague recommended Vincenzo for dinner. The gnocchi was clearly handmade, the ribeye was cooked exactly right, and the cocktails were well-crafted. After three days of convention food, this meal felt like a reset. Will be back next year."

"Family reunion, twelve of us staying at Embassy Suites. We took the whole group to Vincenzo and they handled us beautifully. The bruschetta appetizer was fresh, the lobster ravioli was the table favorite, and the tiramisu was the real thing. Everyone from the grandparents to the kids had a great time. This is what Italian food should taste like."
