Eat Before the Parks, Not Inside Them
Many of Orlando's theme parks have evening hours, especially during peak season when parks stay open until 9 PM, 10 PM, or later. That creates an opportunity most visitors miss: have a real dinner before heading to the park for the evening, instead of eating overpriced park food after you arrive. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana opens at 5 PM every evening and is convenient to Orlando's major theme parks on International Drive.
An early dinner at Vincenzo means you arrive at the park fed, satisfied, and ready to enjoy the evening rides and attractions without hunting for food inside the park. It is a smarter way to do a park night.
Happy Hour Before the Parks
Happy hour at Vincenzo starts the moment the doors open at 5 PM. Tuesday through Friday, happy hour runs from 5 to 7 PM. Monday happy hour runs all night until close. Wine Down Wednesday offers wine specials all evening. Martini Tuesday features martinis during happy hour. A quick dinner with cocktails during happy hour, and you are headed to the park with a full stomach and a head start on the evening.

Save Money, Eat Better
Theme park food is expensive and limited. A burger and fries inside a park can cost as much as a plate of handmade pasta at a real Italian restaurant. By eating at Vincenzo before the park, you get a better meal at a better value, with real service and complimentary valet. You also avoid the long food lines inside the park, which means more time on rides and less time waiting for overpriced concessions.

"We ate here before heading to the park for the evening. So much better than eating inside the park. The pasta was fresh and the service was quick. Perfect timing."
"Great idea to eat here first. We had happy hour drinks and appetizers, then pasta for the kids. Will do this every trip."
