Being next door to Charley's means guests on International Drive have two quality dining options within steps of each other. Vincenzo brings a different flavor to the neighborhood with handmade Italian cuisine prepared from scratch every evening. The pasta is rolled and shaped fresh daily. The seafood comes in fresh. The cocktails are crafted by hand.
What Vincenzo Offers
Vincenzo is a family-owned Italian restaurant that has been serving International Drive since 2014. The menu covers a full range of Italian classics. Pappardelle Bolognese, lobster ravioli, osso buco, fresh branzino, burrata, and a tiramisu that finishes the evening right. The bar serves craft cocktails, Italian wines by the glass and bottle, and a happy hour that runs Monday all night and Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM.
While Vincenzo does serve USDA Prime steaks including filet mignon, New York strip, and bone-in ribeye, the heart of the menu is handmade Italian food. Fresh pasta, Italian seafood preparations, traditional appetizers, and housemade desserts. It is a different kind of dining experience than a traditional steakhouse, and that variety is what makes this stretch of I-Drive a great dinner destination.
Two Great Options on the Same Block
International Drive is full of restaurants, but having two quality independent restaurants next door to each other gives diners real choices. Whether your group is deciding between Italian and a classic steakhouse, or whether you had Charley's last night and want something different tonight, having Vincenzo right next door means you do not have to drive anywhere. Walk out of one and into the other.
Happy Hour and Wine Specials
Wine Down Wednesday features half off all wines by the glass, all evening. Martini Tuesday offers martini specials throughout the night. Monday happy hour runs all night long. Tuesday through Friday, happy hour prices run from 5 to 7 PM. For guests dining on this part of I-Drive, Vincenzo's bar is a great place to start the evening.
