The Italian Restaurant SeaWorld Visitors Need to Know

SeaWorld Orlando sits right on International Drive, and when the park closes, visitors face a familiar dilemma — where to eat for a real dinner. The restaurants immediately surrounding SeaWorld are mostly chains and fast-casual spots that do not do justice to a special evening out. But head a few minutes north on I-Drive and you will find Vincenzo Cucina Italiana at Vue at 360. Vincenzo is not affiliated with SeaWorld or any theme park.

Handmade pasta near SeaWorld at Vincenzo Cucina Italiana Orlando

Vincenzo has been a favorite Italian restaurant in Orlando since 2014. Our kitchen makes everything from scratch — handmade pasta daily, USDA Prime steaks cut in-house, and seafood that arrives fresh. It is the kind of Italian food you would find in the best neighborhoods of Rome or Naples, served right here on International Drive.

From Theme Park to Italian Dining

We get it — after hours at SeaWorld, you are tired, hungry, and probably a little sunburned. The idea of searching for a good restaurant on I-Drive can feel overwhelming when all you see are neon signs and tourist traps. That is exactly why Vincenzo stands out. Our atmosphere is comfortable and inviting. The air conditioning feels amazing. The valet takes your car so you do not deal with parking. And the food makes the whole day worth it.

Many of our guests tell us that dinner at Vincenzo was the highlight of their Orlando vacation — not because SeaWorld was not fun, but because a truly great meal at the end of an active day creates its own kind of magic.

Menu Highlights

Quick Drive on International Drive

SeaWorld sits on the southern end of International Drive, and Vincenzo is located further north at Vue at 360, near ICON Park. The drive takes just a few minutes along I-Drive itself — no highways, no complicated navigation. We are also convenient to the Orange County Convention Center and Universal's Epic Universe, so regardless of what else your Orlando itinerary includes, Vincenzo is always nearby.

Great for Families

SeaWorld is a family destination, and so is Vincenzo. While our atmosphere is upscale, we welcome families with open arms. Kids can enjoy pasta dishes and simpler preparations while parents indulge in a proper Italian dinner with wine and cocktails. The vibe is comfortable but never stuffy — the kind of place where a family of four feels just as at home as a couple celebrating an anniversary.

For larger family groups visiting Orlando together, our Amalfi Room seats 15 to 50 guests privately. All-inclusive packages start at $110 per person, and we can customize the menu to include kid-friendly options alongside our signature dishes.

Happy Hour Before Dinner

If you leave SeaWorld right at park close, you might catch the tail end of our happy hour. Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM, enjoy $4 beers, $7 wines, and $10 cocktails. Monday happy hour runs all night. Wednesday is Wine Down night with half-price wines by the glass. It is the perfect way to transition from a theme park day to a relaxed Italian evening.
