“Romantic atmosphere without being stuffy. Great wine list. The sea bass was cooked perfectly. This is our new go-to Italian spot.”

Homewood Suites I-Drive 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.
Freshness You Can Taste
Our kitchen preps everything daily — pasta, sauces, bread. Nothing comes from a can or a freezer.
When the Navarra family opened Vincenzo in 2014, they had a simple goal: build a restaurant they would want to eat at. Over 4,000 reviews later, that goal has become Orlando's gain.
The family brings over thirty years of hospitality experience to every evening service. The kitchen is staffed by cooks who know the recipes by heart, and the dining room is managed by a team that makes every guest — from convention-goers in business casual to families in flip-flops — feel equally valued.
Private dining in the Amalfi Room accommodates 15 to 50 guests. Full buyouts handle up to 150. The family has coordinated more than 1,500 events with custom menus, AV equipment, and personal attention that event planners appreciate.
Vincenzo is not part of a restaurant group. It is not a franchise. It is a single restaurant owned by one family who chose International Drive as their home and have invested everything in making it the best Italian restaurant in the corridor.
Hands down the best Italian spot in Orlando. The service was impeccable, the food was absolutely incredible. The lobster ravioli was out of this world.

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 Short Drive from Homewood Suites I-Drive. 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 Homewood Suites I-Drive or anywhere else in the area, the drive is easy and the valet makes arriving effortless.
Third year in a row eating here during our Orlando trip. The menu keeps getting better. Added the short rib pappardelle this time. Incredible.

The Menu Favorites
Scallop risotto with truffle. NY strip with herb butter. Linguine with clams. Guest favorites, every one.
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.
Happy hour on a Tuesday — $4 beers, $7 wines, great bruschetta. Then we stayed for dinner. The shrimp scampi was loaded with garlic and butter. Perfection.
