Skip the Resort Restaurant

Resort dining in Orlando follows a predictable pattern. Long waits, inflated prices, menus designed more for volume than quality, and the same crowd you have been seeing all day at the pool. After paying resort prices for everything else, the last thing you need is a $40 chicken entree that tastes like it came from a commissary kitchen. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana gives resort guests something different: a family-owned Italian restaurant on International Drive where everything is made from scratch, the service is personal, and the food is genuinely worth the short drive off property.

Since 2014, Vincenzo has been the dinner destination for guests staying at resorts throughout Orlando. With 4,000+ reviews, handmade pasta, USDA Prime steaks, fresh seafood, craft cocktails, and complimentary valet parking, the restaurant delivers the kind of evening that resort dining rarely does.

Convenient to Orlando's Major Resort Areas

Vincenzo is located at 8025 International Drive, putting it within a short drive of the major resort clusters in Orlando. Guests staying near Universal, along the I-Drive corridor, in the SeaWorld district, or near the Convention Center can reach the restaurant in minutes. Resorts in the Disney area are approximately 15 to 20 minutes away via I-4 or International Drive. No matter where your resort is located, the drive is quick and the complimentary valet makes arrival stress-free.

The restaurant is open 7 days a week from 5 PM to 10 PM, fitting easily into any vacation evening. Come early and take advantage of happy hour, which runs Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM. Wine Down Wednesday features half off all wines by the glass.

Family Dinners Away from the Resort Crowd

Resorts in Orlando cater to families, and so does Vincenzo. The menu works for the whole table. Kids can enjoy handmade pasta while parents order steaks, fresh seafood, or a cocktail. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, not stuffy. After a full day at a theme park or lounging at the resort pool, Vincenzo is the kind of dinner that makes everyone at the table happy. No waiting in a resort lobby for a table. No competing with hundreds of other guests for the same overworked kitchen.

For family reunions, birthday celebrations, or group dinners during your resort stay, the Amalfi Room seats 15 to 50 guests with all-inclusive packages. Visit our Private Events page or call (407) 745-4030 to plan your group dinner.

A Real Italian Dinner in Orlando

Vincenzo is not a chain and it is not a theme park restaurant. It is a family-owned Italian restaurant that has earned its reputation one plate at a time. The pasta is rolled and cut by hand every day. The steaks are USDA Prime. The seafood is fresh, not frozen. The tiramisu is made in-house. The cocktails are crafted. This is what a real Italian dinner in Orlando looks like, and it is the reason resort guests keep coming back year after year.

"We were staying at a resort near Universal and drove over to Vincenzo for dinner. Best decision of the trip. The lobster ravioli was incredible, the wine list was great, and the valet made it so easy. We came back a second night."

"After three nights of resort restaurants, we needed something real. Vincenzo delivered. The pappardelle, the filet, and the tiramisu were all outstanding. It felt like eating at a genuine Italian restaurant, not a tourist trap."

"Family of six staying at a resort on I-Drive. Vincenzo handled our big table with no issues. Kids had pasta, adults had steaks and seafood. Everyone was happy. The free valet was a bonus we did not expect."
