Dinner After WonderWorks

WonderWorks Orlando is one of I-Drive's most recognizable attractions — the upside-down building packed with over 100 interactive exhibits, a ropes course, laser tag, and a 4D motion ride. Families spend hours exploring, climbing, and competing, and by the time everyone walks out, the question is always the same: where do we eat? The food options around WonderWorks tend to be fast-casual chains and tourist-oriented spots. Vincenzo offers something different — a real Italian dinner with handmade pasta, USDA Prime steaks, fresh seafood, and attentive service in a warm dining room.

The Navarra family has been serving Italian food in Orlando since 1991. At 8255 International Drive, inside the International Drive building, Vincenzo brings that family tradition to I-Drive every evening. This is not a chain restaurant. The kitchen makes pasta by hand daily, the steaks are USDA Prime, the seafood arrives fresh, and the service treats every family like they belong.
