The Closest Great Restaurant to the Convention Center
If you are looking for group dining near the Convention Center in Orlando, you have probably scrolled through a lot of chain restaurants and hotel dining rooms. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is neither. We are a family-owned Italian restaurant that has been one of Orlando's favorites since 2014, with over 4,000 reviews. We sit right on International Drive, just minutes from the Orange County Convention Center, and we actually know how to host groups.
From small teams of 15 to full company buyouts of 150 or more, we have a setup that works. And the food is the kind of thing people take pictures of and share back at the office. Handmade pasta, Creekstone Farms Black Angus steaks, fresh seafood, craft cocktails, and a wine list that goes deep. This is group dining that does not feel like group dining.
Your Group, Your Way
The Amalfi Room is our private dining space for 15 to 50 guests. It has its own entrance, a dedicated service team, and AV technology for presentations or slideshows. If your group is smaller, we can arrange semi-private seating in the main dining room. For groups over 50, full restaurant buyouts are available for 150 or more guests. We flex to fit your group, not the other way around.
Happy Hour and Casual Vibes
Not every group dinner needs to be a formal affair. Some of the best convention meals happen when people can just hang out, grab a cocktail, and enjoy the atmosphere. Our happy hour runs Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM. Wine Down Wednesday features special wine pricing, and Tuesday Martini Night is always a hit. We also have outdoor dining if your group wants to enjoy the Florida evening air.

A Location That Makes Logistics Easy
Convention planning is stressful enough without adding a complicated commute to dinner. Vincenzo is on International Drive, inside International Drive, steps from ICON Park. Most I-Drive hotels are within walking distance or a 5-minute rideshare. After dinner, the entertainment district is right outside our door. Your group can explore ICON Park, grab drinks, or just enjoy the I-Drive scene. It is also just minutes from the new Epic Universe, Universal Studios, and SeaWorld.
The Navarra family opened Vincenzo in 2014, bringing over 33 years of restaurant experience to International Drive. We have hosted everything from 15-person team dinners to 150-person corporate events. Every group gets the same level of care, whether you are planning a casual happy hour meetup or a formal seated dinner with presentations.
