From Dolphins to Italian Dining
Discovery Cove is one of Orlando's most memorable experiences — swimming with dolphins, snorkeling tropical reefs, hand-feeding exotic birds, and floating down a lazy river through a tropical paradise. It is an all-inclusive day resort, which means food and drinks are covered while you are there. But when the gates close and the sun starts to set, the included meals are over. That is when you head to International Drive for dinner at Vincenzo Cucina Italiana.
Vincenzo is located at 8255 International Drive, Orlando, FL 32819. Handmade pasta, USDA Prime steaks, and fresh seafood — the perfect evening complement to your day in the water. Open 7 days a week from 5 to 10 PM with complimentary valet parking.
A Dinner Worthy of the Day
Discovery Cove is a premium experience, and your dinner should match. At Vincenzo, every dish reflects that same attention to detail. The kitchen team makes pasta from scratch daily — gnocchi, pappardelle, lasagna, rigatoni. USDA Prime steaks are hand-cut. Seafood arrives fresh each morning. Nothing is frozen, nothing is microwaved.
- ✺ Fresh Chilean Sea Bass — the perfect seafood after a day in the water
- ✺ Handmade gnocchi in truffle cream — rich, comforting, unforgettable
- ✺ USDA Prime filet mignon — for the appetite a full day outdoors builds
- ✺ Italian wine list — curated selections from Tuscany, Piedmont, and beyond
- ✺ Homemade cannoli and tiramisu — the only way to close the evening
Ideal for Couples and Celebrations
Many Discovery Cove visitors are celebrating something — a honeymoon, an anniversary, a milestone birthday. The dolphin swim is the daytime memory. Vincenzo is the evening one. The intimate dining room, warm lighting, and attentive service create the kind of atmosphere that turns a great day into a perfect one.
If you are visiting with a larger group, the Amalfi Room offers private dining for 15 to 50 guests with all-inclusive packages.
Happy Hour and Wine Down
Discovery Cove typically closes in the late afternoon, which means you arrive at Vincenzo right in time for happy hour. Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM, enjoy craft cocktails, wine, and beer at happy hour prices. Monday happy hour runs all night. Wednesday is Wine Down night with half off wines by the glass.
