SpringHill Suites SeaWorld guests looking for dinner after SeaWorld have plenty of options along International Drive. But Vincenzo Cucina Italiana at ICON Park is the one that keeps earning repeat visits — because the food is genuinely handmade and the hospitality is genuinely warm.
Begin with the antipasto board or the arancini with truffle and fontina, then choose from pasta dishes like the linguine frutti di mare (shrimp, scallops, grouper, clams), the short rib pappardelle with marsala cream, or the classic spaghetti and meatballs. For steak lovers, the NY strip with garlic herb butter and truffle rosemary fries is a crowd-pleaser.
The chicken parmigiana — breaded, not pre-formed — comes with spaghetti marinara and melted mozzarella. It is the dish that families return for, and for good reason.
Every night at Vincenzo feels like the kitchen is cooking for guests they know personally. That energy is rare on International Drive.
Handmade Pasta & Italian Classics
Every dish is made from scratch, every night. This is what dinner at Vincenzo looks like.
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.
The chocolate mousse dessert was so good my daughter cried when it was gone. I am not joking. We ordered a second one. This place is special.

Hand-cut, cooked to order, served with truffle butter and fresh sides every evening.
The route from SpringHill Suites SeaWorld to Vincenzo is simple: International Drive to ICON Park. Most guests arrive in 8-10 Min by car or rideshare. The restaurant is at 8255 International Dr, Orlando, FL 32819.
Complimentary valet parking is available every evening. This is not a parking garage restaurant — pull up, step out, and walk in. The valet team handles the rest.
International Drive is Orlando's most visited dining and entertainment corridor, and Vincenzo is positioned at its center. The restaurant is convenient to Universal, SeaWorld, the Convention Center, ICON Park attractions, and dozens of major hotels.
What sets Vincenzo apart from the I-Drive crowd is the experience: the warm atmosphere, the handmade food, the family-owned feel, and the sense that you are dining at a restaurant that cares about getting it right — not just getting you in and out.
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.

The Dishes People Come Back For
Chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. Fettuccine alfredo with jumbo shrimp. Made fresh, every night.

The wine list covers Italian and California selections, with options by the glass and bottle.
Happy hour makes the early evening affordable: Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM, with $4 beers, $7 wines, and $10 cocktails. Wine Down Wednesday extends the deal — half-off wines by the glass all evening.
For private dining, the Amalfi Room accommodates 15 to 50 guests. Full restaurant buyouts handle groups up to 150. Custom Italian menus, AV support, and event coordination are included. Over 1,500 events have been hosted here.
