One of I-Drive's Best Food Places

International Drive is packed with food options, from fast food chains to tourist traps to themed restaurants. Finding somewhere that actually serves great food can be a challenge. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana has been here since 1991, run by the Navarra family, and it is one of Orlando's favorite Italian restaurants for a reason. The pasta is handmade fresh every single day. The steaks are USDA Prime. The seafood is real, not frozen from a truck.

We are located on International Drive, right next to ICON Park on International Drive. If you are on I-Drive and looking for a food place that is worth your time and money, Vincenzo is it. This is not a chain. There is no corporate recipe book. Everything is made from scratch by people who have been doing this for decades.

Dining experience at Vincenzo Cucina Italiana on International Drive Orlando

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. You will see families with kids sitting next to couples on date night, tourists discovering the place for the first time sitting next to locals who come every week. That is the kind of restaurant Vincenzo is. Everyone is welcome, nobody is rushed, and the food is consistently great.

With over 4,000 reviews and a 4.7-star average, guests keep coming back because the quality never drops. Whether you are visiting Orlando on vacation or you live here and want a dependable dinner spot, this is a food place you can count on.

Near Everything on International Drive

Vincenzo is centrally located on I-Drive, making it easy to get to from anywhere in the tourist corridor.
