Dining with Dietary Needs at Vincenzo
Finding an Italian restaurant that works when you have dietary restrictions can feel limiting. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana on International Drive welcomes guests with dietary needs and encourages them to reach out before their visit. The kitchen team is happy to discuss available options, and your server can help navigate the menu when you arrive.
Guests with dietary needs should call ahead at (407) 745-4030 or speak with the restaurant team before ordering. This gives the kitchen a chance to prepare and ensures your evening goes smoothly.
What to Expect
Vincenzo is an Italian restaurant with a menu that spans handmade pasta, USDA Prime steaks, fresh seafood, appetizers, salads, and desserts. While the kitchen is not a dedicated gluten-free facility — handmade pasta is prepared daily in the same kitchen — there are proteins, seafood, and vegetable dishes that may work depending on your needs. Some dishes may be adaptable. Please ask your server.
The key is communication. When you call ahead or speak with your server at the table, the team can walk you through what is available, how dishes are prepared, and what adjustments might be possible. Guests who take that step consistently have a great experience.

A Note on Expectations
Vincenzo is an Italian restaurant, and pasta is central to the menu. The kitchen is not a dedicated gluten-free environment, and cross-contact is possible. Guests with celiac disease or severe gluten allergies should speak directly with the restaurant team to understand what can and cannot be accommodated. The team will be honest about what works and will never guess when it comes to your health.
For guests with milder sensitivities or preferences, there is more flexibility. Steaks, seafood, salads, and many appetizers offer a full dining experience without relying on pasta or bread. Your server will guide you.
