The Best Dinner After Islands of Adventure
You spent all day riding the Velocicoaster, exploring Hogwarts, and conquering the Hulk coaster. The theme park food kept you going, but now the park is closing and your family deserves a real sit-down dinner. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana on International Drive is exactly where you want to end the night.
Located at Vue at 360 on I-Drive, Vincenzo is about a 5 to 15 minute drive from Universal Orlando Resort. While CityWalk has its own dining options, they tend to be crowded, loud, and touristy. Vincenzo offers something entirely different — an intimate, Italian restaurant where the pasta is made by hand, the steaks are USDA Prime, and the seafood is fresh daily.
A Short Drive from Universal to I-Drive
Islands of Adventure sits at the north end of International Drive's entertainment corridor. Vincenzo is located along the heart of I-Drive at Vue at 360, next to ICON Park. The drive takes about 5 to 15 minutes depending on traffic, and when you arrive, complimentary valet parking means you do not have to circle a parking garage after a long day on your feet.
Hand the keys to our valet, walk through the door, and let someone else take care of you for the rest of the evening.

Voted Orlando's Best Italian Since 2014
Vincenzo is not just another I-Drive restaurant. We have earned the OpenTable Diners Choice Award every year since 2014, been named Best Italian by the Orlando Sentinel three times, earned a spot on USA Today's 10 Best list, and received the Golden Fork Award. With 4,000+ reviews across OpenTable (4.7 stars) and Google (4.4 stars), Vincenzo is the Italian restaurant Orlando trusts most.

Close to Universal and Everything Else
Vincenzo's location on International Drive puts you right in the middle of Orlando's best entertainment. After dinner, you are ICON Park, about a 5 to 15 minute drive from the Convention Center, and close to your hotel. Whether you are staying on Universal property or at one of the dozens of I-Drive hotels, Vincenzo is a convenient and memorable way to end your theme park day.
