Steps from ICON Park, Worlds Apart from Tourist Food
ICON Park is one of International Drive's most popular entertainment complexes, drawing visitors with the Orlando Eye observation wheel, Madame Tussauds, SEA LIFE Aquarium, and dozens of shops and attractions. The dining options inside ICON Park are built for volume, serving standard tourist fare designed to turn tables quickly. If you want a dinner that matches the excitement of your ICON Park visit, you need to walk just a few steps to Vincenzo Cucina Italiana on International Drive.
We are one of the closest sit-down restaurants to ICON Park, and the quality gap between our kitchen and the food courts inside the complex is enormous. At Vincenzo, every pasta is handmade, every steak is USDA Prime, and the seafood arrives fresh daily. This is the dinner you actually want after spending the afternoon at ICON Park, and it has been voted Orlando's best Italian restaurant every year since 2014.
The Perfect ICON Park Evening
- ✦ Ride the Orlando Eye at sunset for stunning views of I-Drive
- ✦ Walk to Vincenzo on International Drive for a 6 or 7 PM reservation
- ✦ Start with happy hour cocktails or Wine Down Wednesday half-price wines
- ✦ Enjoy handmade pasta, USDA Prime steaks, or fresh seafood
- ✦ Finish with housemade tiramisu and espresso
- ✦ Walk back to ICON Park for evening entertainment, or valet home
What Makes Vincenzo Different
The International Drive corridor around ICON Park has no shortage of restaurants. You will find chain Italian, chain steakhouses, fast casual spots, and buffets. What you will not find easily is a restaurant where the chef makes pasta by hand every morning, where the steaks are the same USDA Prime grade served at the best steakhouses in New York, and where the service feels personal rather than transactional.
Vincenzo fills that gap. We are a family-owned Italian restaurant that has earned its reputation the old-fashioned way: by serving exceptional food to every single guest, every single night, for over a decade. Locals know us as their special occasion restaurant. Visitors discover us and make it an annual tradition. Everyone agrees on one thing: this is not typical I-Drive food.
