Magical Dining Orlando
Orlando's annual prix fixe restaurant event and Italian dining on International Drive at Vincenzo Cucina Italiana.
What Is Magical Dining?
Magical Dining is an annual restaurant event organized by Visit Orlando, typically running from late summer through early fall. During the event, participating Orlando restaurants offer prix fixe multi-course menus at a set price, with a portion of every meal going to support a designated local charity. It is one of Central Florida's most popular dining events and draws food lovers from across the region who want to experience the city's restaurants through specially curated tasting menus.
The event is often referred to as Orlando's restaurant week, though it typically runs longer than a single week. Visit Orlando announces the official dates, participating restaurants, and charity partner each year as the season approaches.

If Vincenzo is participating in Visit Orlando's Magical Dining during the current season, guests should check the current menu, dates, and availability before visiting.

How Magical Dining Works
During Magical Dining, participating restaurants offer a prix fixe multi-course menu that typically includes an appetizer, entree, and dessert at a set price. The event is designed to give diners an opportunity to experience restaurants they may not visit otherwise, at a price point that makes it accessible. A portion of every Magical Dining meal goes to support a local charity, which changes each year.
Reservations are strongly recommended during Magical Dining, as popular restaurants tend to book up quickly, especially on weekends. Specific menus, pricing, and dates change annually and are announced by Visit Orlando.
