Casual Italian Dining

Award-Winning Italian, Comfortable Vibe

Vincenzo is a casual Italian restaurant with an upbeat, welcoming atmosphere where you can hear your conversation and enjoy your evening without pretense. The dining room is warm and inviting, the outdoor patio overlooks International Drive, and the full bar serves craft cocktails, Italian wines, and everything in between. This is not a stuffy fine dining experience — it is a place where everyone from convention attendees to vacationing families feels comfortable.

The convention center hosts hundreds of events every year, and after a day of networking, presentations, and walking miles of exhibit halls, you deserve more than hotel room service. Vincenzo delivers handmade pappardelle with Angus beef ragu, lobster ravioli stuffed with Maine lobster, a 20-ounce bone-in ribeye, Chilean sea bass, and tiramisu made in-house. The Amalfi Room seats 15 to 50 guests for private group dinners, and full restaurant buyout is available for up to 150 or more.
