Italian Restaurant for Universal Resort Guests
Royal Pacific Resort is one of Universal Orlando's premier hotels, and guests who stay there tend to appreciate quality dining. When you want something beyond CityWalk restaurants and hotel room service, Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is located on International Drive, convenient for Universal Orlando resort guests. Guests should check current travel time. The restaurant has been serving handmade Italian cuisine since 2014.
Open 7 days a week from 5 PM to 10 PM, with complimentary valet parking every evening.
The Meal You Will Remember
Universal vacations are packed with memories. But the food at most theme park restaurants blurs together after a few days. Vincenzo is the exception. The pasta is handmade every day, not pulled from a freezer. The steaks are USDA Prime. The Chilean sea bass is fresh. The tiramisu is baked in-house. This is the dinner guests remember weeks and months after their Orlando trip ends, and it is why more than 4,000 people have left reviews.
