An Off-Property Restaurant That Matches the Occasion
Rosen Shingle Creek is a large convention resort with its own dining options. But when you want something different from hotel restaurants, something independent and personal, Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is on International Drive and ready to deliver. The pasta is handmade fresh every day by our kitchen team. The steaks are USDA Prime, the highest grade available. The seafood arrives fresh and is prepared the same day. This is a restaurant where every dish is made with intention, not assembled from a corporate playbook.
Whether you are in Orlando for a convention at the Orange County Convention Center, a corporate retreat, or a family vacation, Vincenzo offers the kind of dining that turns an ordinary evening into the highlight of the trip. Over 4,000 guests have left reviews, and the consistent message is the same: real Italian food, generous portions, and service that pays attention to every table.

Private Dining for Client Dinners and Corporate Groups
If you are hosting a client dinner during a convention or organizing a team event for colleagues, the private dining room at Vincenzo seats 15 to 50 guests with dedicated service and a curated menu. All-inclusive Italian dinner packages are available, which means no splitting checks and no awkward billing at the end of the night. The atmosphere is polished enough for a business dinner and relaxed enough that people actually enjoy themselves. Many groups attending events at the Orange County Convention Center book Vincenzo specifically because it gives them a space away from the hotel where they can have a real conversation over a real meal.
The Menu: Built for People Who Care About Food
Vincenzo is not a chain. The menu reflects decades of Italian cooking tradition adapted for Orlando's guests. Start with the burrata or the calamari. Move to handmade rigatoni with braised short rib ragu, or a USDA Prime bone-in ribeye that arrives seared and rested to perfection. The seafood changes based on what is fresh, but the Chilean sea bass and lobster ravioli are consistent favorites. The wine list leans Italian, with selections from Tuscany, Piedmont, and Sicily, plus a full craft cocktail program at the bar.
Happy Hour and Weekly Specials
Monday happy hour runs all night at Vincenzo. Tuesday through Friday, happy hour is 5 to 7 PM with reduced prices on cocktails, wines by the glass, and beer. Martini Tuesday features martini specials, and Wine Down Wednesday means half-price wines by the glass all evening. If your convention schedule has you free in the early evening, these are solid reasons to leave the resort and have a proper drink with a proper meal on International Drive.
What Guests Say
"We had a team dinner here during a trade show and it was exactly what we needed. The private room was perfect, the steak was incredible, and the staff handled our group of 22 without missing a beat."
"Took clients here after three days of convention food and they could not stop thanking me. The pasta is handmade and you can taste the difference. Valet parking made it easy."
"We were staying near the convention center and wanted a real dinner out. Vincenzo delivered. The wine list is impressive and the lobster ravioli was the best I have had in years."
More Than a Convention Dinner
Vincenzo is open every night of the week, not just during convention season. If you are visiting Orlando with family, celebrating a birthday, hosting an anniversary dinner, or simply want a great Italian meal on International Drive, this is the restaurant. Group dining is available for parties of any size, and full restaurant buyout options exist for larger private events. The kitchen treats every table with the same level of care whether you are a party of two or a corporate group of forty.
