Hilton Vacation Club Cypress Pointe sits right on International Drive, which means real Italian food is minutes from your room. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana at ICON Park delivers handmade pasta, USDA Prime steaks, and fresh seafood in a family-owned restaurant that has earned over 4,000 reviews since opening in 2014.
The gnocchi is made from potatoes in-house — light, pillowy, and served in pomodoro sauce with burrata and basil oil. The lobster ravioli is stuffed with Maine lobster and ricotta, swimming in a rich lobster cream sauce. The filet mignon is Prime Black Angus from Creekstone Farms, served with truffle butter and broccolini.
For a casual weeknight dinner, the chicken parmigiana or fettuccine alfredo hits the spot. For a special occasion, the Chilean sea bass with artichoke and prosecco butter or the linguine frutti di mare elevates the evening.
Dessert is always homemade — tiramisu, Nutella cheesecake, chocolate mousse, or limoncello cake. Nothing is sourced from a freezer.
A Scratch Kitchen on I-Drive
Every dish at Vincenzo is cooked to order. Fresh pasta, Prime steaks, seafood — no shortcuts.
The Navarra Group opened Vincenzo on International Drive in 2014, bringing over three decades of hospitality experience to one of Orlando's busiest corridors. What started as a neighborhood Italian spot has grown into a restaurant with 4,000+ reviews and a reputation that reaches well beyond the tourist strip.
The difference is in the details: bread baked fresh, sauces simmered for hours, risotto stirred to order, and a team that knows regulars by name. This is not a restaurant that relies on foot traffic. It earns its guests through quality.
The Amalfi Room handles private events for 15 to 50 guests, from rehearsal dinners to corporate receptions. Full restaurant buyouts accommodate up to 150. Custom Italian menus, AV support, and dedicated coordinators simplify the planning.
In a city dominated by corporate dining groups, Vincenzo proves that family-owned restaurants still do it best.
We do an annual Orlando trip and Vincenzo is now our first-night tradition. The lasagna is comfort food at its finest. No one does it better on I-Drive.

Black Angus from Creekstone Farms
Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Vincenzo sits at ICON Park on International Drive, about 5-8 Min from Hilton Vacation Club Cypress Pointe. The drive is straightforward — no highway merges, no confusing exits — just a quick trip along one of Orlando's most familiar roads.
Complimentary valet parking is available every evening. Pull up to the entrance, hand the keys to the valet, and walk straight to your table. No garages. No meters. No circling.
International Drive is more than just hotels and attractions. It is a dining corridor with dozens of options, and Vincenzo has established itself as the top independent Italian restaurant in the area through quality, consistency, and genuine hospitality.
The restaurant is also conveniently located near SeaWorld, Universal, the Convention Center, and the I-Drive entertainment district. Whether you are coming from Hilton Vacation Club Cypress Pointe or anywhere else in the area, the drive is easy and the valet makes arriving effortless.
We found Vincenzo on our last night and wished we had come the first night. The lobster ravioli is the best I have ever had. Period.

Beyond the kitchen, Vincenzo's bar program has become a destination in its own right. The bartenders craft classic Negronis, Aperol Spritzes, and Espresso Martinis with care, and the wine list features both Italian and California selections that complement the menu beautifully.
Happy hour is available Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM: $4 bottled beers, $7 house wines, $10 cocktails. Wine Down Wednesday takes it further with half-price wines by the glass all night. These specials draw locals and hotel guests alike.

Vincenzo has hosted more than 1,500 events. The team knows how to handle groups of every size without losing the personal touch that makes each evening feel special.
The arancini were crispy and loaded with truffle and mushrooms. Then the sea bass came out and I forgot about everything else. Phenomenal meal.
