“We eat here every time we visit Orlando. The Aperol Spritz is perfect, the burrata is creamy and fresh, and the vibe is exactly right. Love this place.”

The drive from Hilton Vacation Club Mystic Dunes to Vincenzo Cucina Italiana takes about 20 to 25 minutes, and guests who make the trip consistently say the same thing: it was the best meal of their Orlando vacation. The restaurant sits at ICON Park on International Drive, surrounded by attractions, shopping, and nightlife.
The menu is serious Italian cooking: handmade pasta, USDA Prime steaks from Creekstone Farms, fresh seafood, and a full bar with craft cocktails. The lobster ravioli — stuffed with Maine lobster and ricotta in a rich cream sauce — is the most popular pasta on the menu. The ossobuco, braised for hours over saffron risotto, is the dish that gets photographed and shared.
Kids eat well for $13 with a drink: chicken tenders, pizza, cheese ravioli, spaghetti with meatballs, or filet tips. The atmosphere is relaxed, family-friendly, and welcoming — no dress code, shorts are fine, strollers fit between tables.
The drive from Kissimmee to I-Drive is easy, mostly highway, and complimentary valet makes arrival seamless.
Where Every Plate Tells a Story
Hand-rolled gnocchi, slow-simmered sauces, steaks cut fresh daily. Real Italian cooking.
The story of Vincenzo is the story of a family that chose to build something personal in one of the most commercial corridors in America. The Navarra Group opened this restaurant in 2014 with one kitchen, one dining room, and a commitment to serving food that their own family would be proud of.
Ten years later, the restaurant has accumulated over 4,000 reviews, earned OpenTable's Diners' Choice recognition, and hosted more than 1,500 private events. The kitchen still rolls pasta by hand. The sauces still simmer for hours. The bread is still baked fresh.
The Amalfi Room accommodates groups of 15 to 50 for rehearsal dinners, birthday celebrations, corporate gatherings, and milestone events. Full buyouts handle up to 150 guests. Every event includes custom Italian menus and complimentary valet parking.
In a city where restaurants come and go with the tourism cycle, Vincenzo has stayed because the Navarra family treats it not as a business to operate, but as a home to share.
We live in Orlando and this is our go-to for date night. The bar scene is great early, then the dining room fills up with happy families. Love the energy.

Black Angus from Creekstone Farms
Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
Hilton Vacation Club Mystic Dunes is in the Kissimmee area, about 20-25 Min from Vincenzo Cucina Italiana at ICON Park on International Drive. The drive is mostly highway — I-4 or 192 to International Drive — and guests consistently say the trip is worth it.
Complimentary valet parking is available every evening. Just pull up, hand off the keys, and walk in. No garage navigation. No parking fees. No stress.
International Drive offers a full evening beyond dinner: ICON Park has the Orlando Eye, attractions, shops, and entertainment. Pointe Orlando is nearby with additional dining and nightlife. The I-Drive corridor is a destination in itself.
The return drive to Hilton Vacation Club Mystic Dunes is easy — the same route in reverse, often with less traffic in the evening. Many guests plan their Vincenzo dinner as a midweek highlight of their Orlando vacation.
Romantic atmosphere without being stuffy. Great wine list. The sea bass was cooked perfectly. This is our new go-to Italian spot.

Dishes That Define Vincenzo
Ossobuco over saffron risotto. Lobster ravioli in cream sauce. The plates that built our reputation.
The full bar at Vincenzo goes well beyond wine and beer. Guests can enjoy handcrafted cocktails like the Espresso Martini, classic Negronis, Aperol Spritzes, and a curated list of Italian and California wines by the glass or bottle.
Happy hour runs Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM, with $4 bottled beers, $7 wines by the glass, $10 cocktails, and select small bites. On Wednesdays, Wine Down Wednesday drops all wines by the glass to half price for the entire evening.
For groups, Vincenzo offers the Amalfi Room for private events of 15 to 50 guests, semi-private dining arrangements, and full restaurant buyouts for parties of 150 or more. Custom Italian menus, AV equipment, and dedicated event coordinators make planning simple.
Whether it is drinks after a long day, a quiet dinner with the family, or a planned celebration for a group, Vincenzo handles it all with the kind of ease you would expect from a restaurant that has hosted over 1,500 private events.
We are locals who eat out weekly. Vincenzo is consistently our best meal. The salmon is hormone-free, the pasta is handmade, and the bar program is legit.
