Italian Restaurant on International Drive for Hotel Guests
Staying at Hilton Garden Inn on the north end of International Drive puts you right in the middle of Orlando's busiest dining and entertainment corridor. Instead of settling for hotel breakfast or another chain restaurant, Vincenzo Cucina Italiana gives you a proper Italian dinner with handmade pasta, USDA Prime steaks, and fresh seafood. Open 7 days a week from 5 PM to 10 PM with complimentary valet parking every evening.
Vincenzo has been serving guests on International Drive since 2014, and more than 4,000 reviews tell the story. This is where I-Drive hotel guests come when they want a real meal.

A Better Dinner Than the Chain Restaurants
International Drive has plenty of chain restaurants. Vincenzo is independently owned and family-operated, and you can taste the difference. The pasta is made by hand every day. The steaks are USDA Prime, not Select. The desserts are baked in-house. The wine list is curated, not pulled from a distributor catalog. That care shows up in every dish and every review.
This is the kind of restaurant that locals recommend to their visiting friends and family. It is not a theme, not a franchise, and not a food court. It is a real Italian kitchen run by people who care about what they serve.
Happy Hour and Wine Specials
Vincenzo offers happy hour Monday all night, and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM. Wine Down Wednesday features discounted wines by the glass. Martini Tuesday brings cocktail specials. After a day of exploring I-Drive attractions, a proper drink and a plate of handmade pasta is exactly what the evening calls for.
Group Dining and Private Events
Traveling with family or a larger group? Vincenzo offers private dining rooms for celebrations, reunions, and group events. Custom menus and dedicated service staff make planning easy. Call ahead and the team will handle everything so you can focus on enjoying the evening.
