Steaks and Italian Food Under One Roof
Looking for a steak and Italian restaurant in Orlando? Vincenzo Cucina Italiana offers USDA Prime Creekstone Farms steaks alongside handmade pasta, fresh seafood, craft cocktails, wine, and complimentary valet parking on International Drive near ICON Park. Whether you are searching for steak and Italian near me, a restaurant with steaks and pasta near I-Drive Orlando, or dinner near Orlando attractions, Vincenzo gives guests the combination that most restaurants cannot pull off — serious steaks and handmade Italian food in the same kitchen. With 4,000+ guest reviews.
Most restaurants choose one lane. They are either a steakhouse or an Italian restaurant. Vincenzo refuses to compromise on either side. The steak program uses USDA Prime beef from Creekstone Farms, a nationally recognized Black Angus program. The Italian program features pasta made by hand every day, sauces built from scratch, and fresh seafood. The result is a restaurant where one guest can order a 20-ounce bone-in ribeye while the person across the table has lobster ravioli, and both dishes are executed at the same level.
The Steak Program
Every steak at Vincenzo is USDA Prime from Creekstone Farms, Black Angus beef. USDA Prime represents the top 2% of beef graded in the United States, selected for superior marbling that produces tenderness and rich flavor. The menu includes filet mignon, a 14-ounce New York strip ($65), and a 20-ounce bone-in ribeye ($80). Each cut is prepared to your preferred temperature by a kitchen team that understands how to handle Prime beef.
The Italian Program
The Italian side of the menu is not an afterthought. Pasta is made by hand every day — gnocchi, pappardelle, tortellini, lasagna, and spaghetti. The lobster ravioli ($44) uses Maine lobster and ricotta in a creamy lobster sauce. The chicken marsala ($27) features hormone-free chicken with portobello mushrooms in marsala truffle. Fresh seafood includes Chilean sea bass. Every sauce is built from scratch. Every dish has been refined over more than thirty years of family ownership.
Braised Short Rib Pappardelle
The braised short rib pappardelle is the dish that best represents what Vincenzo does. Beef short rib is braised slowly until the meat falls apart, and the braising liquid becomes a rich, concentrated sauce. It is served over handmade pappardelle pasta — wide, flat ribbons that catch every drop of that sauce. This is where the steak program and the Italian program meet on a single plate. It is one of the most popular dishes on the menu, and it is a combination you will not find at a steakhouse or a typical Italian restaurant.
Wine Pairings
Vincenzo's curated Italian wine list was built to pair with both steak and Italian food. Bold reds like Barolo and Brunello di Montalcino stand up to the richness of USDA Prime beef. Lighter reds like Chianti Classico complement pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces. White wines pair with the seafood program. The staff can help you find the right bottle or glass to match your meal, whether you are ordering steak, pasta, or both.
Happy Hour at Vincenzo
Happy hour runs Monday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM with $4 drafts, $7 wines by the glass, and $10 cocktails including the Negroni, Old Fashioned, Espresso Martini, and Aperol Spritz. Monday is all-night happy hour. Wine Down Wednesday features half off all wines by the glass.
