Excellent find for our first time to Orlando. The service was outstanding.

I chose this restaurant for the simple fact that they offered a Yelp deal $15.00 off of $30.00 and 7% cash back on Yelp when you use your linked credit

We had several starters and main courses. We loved everything from authentic to regular Chinese dishes

A favorite for Chinese cuisine and the fine approach. Excellent service and the place makes a great cocktail.

Experience some of the best Chinese, Italian, and seafood cuisine in Orlando at this popular restaurant. From aromatic shrimp toast and spicy shrimp with peanuts to authentic Shrimp Alfredo and Lasagna with meat sauce, the menu offers a wide variety of delicious options. The service is top-notch, with friendly staff and quick preparation of dishes. While the outdoor dining space may be small and parking busy, the overall dining experience is worth it. Enjoy homemade Tiramisu and exquisite pear dessert to top off a wonderful meal. The variety of high-quality meats used in dishes like meatballs and perfectly spiced lamb entrees will have you coming back for more. In a sea of dining options on I-Drive, this restaurant stands out as a must-visit for those seeking authentic and delicious cuisine.

My friend and I visited this restaurant twice. I have to say the service was great. The staff is very friendly and the food is pretty fast prepared. We started with Calamari and garlic bread. I ordered Shrimp Alfredo while he got Lasagna with meat sauce. Both dishes were amazing. Beautiful portion size and food really tastefully authentic. A trip to I-Drive is definitely worth it.

We came with a reservation on an open table on a Saturday evening for five people at 6:00, the restaurant was about 1/2 full when we arrived and was full until the time we left. We sat right after we saw the hostess and we were? I brought drinks right away. My wife ordered the lambbone that was freshly cooked and came with three slices of lamb, potatoes and asparagus. The lamb was delicious and was perfectly spiced. My youngest daughter ordered the fetters Alfredo without protein, the sauce was very good and made at home. My other daughter ordered the linguini with the variety of seafood (shrimp, fish, mussels etc.) and she really enjoyed it. You can decide to get it with wine sauce or red sauce, they chose a red sauce. My son ordered the spaghetti with meatballs and meat sauce. It comes with two very large meatballs that are excellent, definitely made fresh with a variety of high quality meats. The meat sauce itself is amazing, not overwhelming, but very tasty, probably one of the best meat sauces I had. I ordered the linguini with mussel sauce, which came with about six very large shells in shells plus some others on the pasta with a white wine sauce. It has some red pepper flakes that may be a bit sharp for some people, but I loved it. The pasta was perfectly boiled al dente. The service was top notch and very friendly. One thing to note is that they automatically add gratitude to parties five or more. The parking lot is somewhat strange as it seems that you only valet, which is beautiful I guess, but we think it is to prevent people from parking and walking in the amusement park near the restaurants. I would recommend this restaurant and would definitely come back.

One of the best salads I've ever had. I had a shrimp salad and it was perfect. The greens, pears and cheese were good. I was sad that I couldn't try anything else since I was full. I will return to try the past, but I am sure it will be amazing how the party I loved her dishes.

Amazing service! All pasta orders were exquisite and well served. The chicken parmigiana was not, as I expected, chicken was too thin and overbreaded. Place view neat, clean and its location is perfect on international drive. Love the light temperature and atmosphere. Free parking.

I don?t give 5 stars lightly, and Vincenzo Cucina is no exception to the rule. I was incredibly impressed with our experience from start to finish. The staff is so very warm and welcoming, and I loved that each and every staff member who greeted or served us spoke Italian as well. It gave it that special touch , that little reassurance that yeah, this is going to be legit. We started off with house made garlic bread , and it was damn good. I chose the house special of the evening which was a seafood pasta that consisted of octopus , shrimp, scallops, clams and grouper in a vodka garlic sauce. There was no denying the pasta was made fresh to order . The flavors just burst of freshness and the dish was aromatic. As a Floridian , you could tell the seafood was fresh as well. My partner tried the lobster stuffed ravioli and LAWD HAVE MERCY. Hands down the best ravioli we have ever had. It was rich, decadent and savory in every bite. For dessert we had both the Affogato and Nutella cheesecake. Now, this isn?t your traditional cheesecake, but I promise you it will be better than anything you had in mind. The cheesecake is both fluffy and thick, possibly a ricotta. The ?crust? is a Nutella ganache that is so smooth and rich. Topped with fresh hazelnut shavings and a maraschino cherry. This place knows what they?re doing. There?s an Italian spot close to home I?ve been going to for many years , naming it the best Italian I?ve ever had. Never would I have guessed that in 2022 I would stumble across a perfect little Italian spot while staycationing in Orlando that would top Pias Trattoria. We will come here again. And again. And again. And again. And again. Vincenzo Cucina will not disappoint you.

Molto bene!!! Soooo good. Great service, great menu, delicious food. We usually go to Ciao Bella, their sister restaurant but so glad we came here too. Both places are THE BEST! No problem with the prices...totally worth it.

The night was very quiet, but unfortunately we were seated near the entrance next to a table with a baby and on the other side, there was a table with three kids. It was a disappointing experience. Additionally, the chicken was overcooked. We do not plan on returning to this restaurant.

The food and service at the restaurant were fantastic. Our waitress, Marina, was great and made our anniversary date night extra special. We will definitely be returning in the future.

The food at this restaurant is good, but not outstanding. The service was excellent, and the restaurant itself is nice, quiet, and clean. However, the prices are a bit high considering you can find similar dishes at cheaper restaurants.

Going into this place I saw lots of good reviews and I was hyped to try it out. Pulling into the lot we soon discovered it was impossible to park anywhere unless you do vallet. Handed keys to the valley driver and he ran over a traffic cone with our vehicle. Great way to start the night before even getting into the restaurant. The soup was excellent but was priced a bit much for some beans and broth. The chicken Alfredo was fantastic. Chicken was tender, not overcooked like some places. Fettuccine was amazing, the fresh pasta from scratch made a huge difference. The Alfredo sauce was thick in a good way as well as tasted great. My guest had the lasagna and it was lukewarm. That tasted like they pulled it out of the refrigerator and microwaved it for 1 minute before serving it. My guest was not happy at all about their experience. If I were to ever come back I would stick with a pasta dish because I believe that is what this place does right.

I have grown up in New York with the best Italian food to choose from. I came to Orlando for a brief vacation and chose this restaurant based on their menu and reviews and I was not disappointed! Some of the best Italian cuisine I have had in 20 years since leaving New York. The atmosphere is lovely the staff is wonderful and the food is out of this world! Absolutely would go back again and might even do that tomorrow!

Went here for the first time and both the food and service were amazing. I got salmon over penne pasta with vodka sauce and my mom got the spaghetti meatballs. Both dishes were so full of flavor, we can’t wait to come back and try something new! They also have a kids menu which worked perfectly for my baby brother. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys Italian!
