Unbelievably amazing experience!! From the food to the service, unreal! The Truffle Chicken Marsala is GOATED! The calamari is lightly fried and melts in your mouth and so does the Beef Carpaccio…the Bolognese is also top notch and don’t get me started about the drinks(espresso martini or dirty martinis w house stuffed BC olives to the homemade Limoncello)…just a fabulous experience! Highly recommend!

Went for a nice pasta. Waiter suggested brochetta and cheese balls for starters which arrives with complimentary bread. That’s was our mistake. Food was good and very filling. Then came my seafood pasta which was good but extremely rich. We both had trouble eating the main meals. I wish we had the main meal only and the desserts if needed. Wine is as expensive as you want to make it. Glad I had a bottle at $65 because it reiterated that fact to me that I’m happy with a £10 bottle of plonk lol meal for two $180. Inc the wine. We would go again with the knowledge. Waiter nice fella but he should of advised us on quantity I think.

Tip: Don't take I-Drive; take the service road behind the commercial buildings (University Blvd). Then use valet parking and avoid the surface parking. The free parking ramp very nearby is nearly always empty if you don't want to tip the valet.
Went on Valentine's Day dinner and it was easy to get in. Open Table indicated it was full, but call in since they must save some tables for walk-ins if Open Table is full. Many open tables at dinner.
They list bread for $6.00 on their menu but it comes with dinner. Excellent ciabatta, fresh, hot, with an olive oil, rosemary, balsamic vinegar (or red wine vinegar) with a bit of lemon. Definitely NOT steamed to make it seem fresh because it stayed fresh even after it cooled down. Totally appreciate that!
We had their excellent Carpaccio (recommended) appetizer served on a huge sharing plate, with arugula, capers, lemon sauce, huge shaving of parmesan. Very nice and fun to share.
We had a special evening dish: Lobster pasta. Very tasty sauce that you wanted to slurp up with the excellent bread. Only meat from a half a lobster (we told in advance), but the presentation included the whole lobster shell.
Concluded with a special dessert: Chocolate Mousse. Awesome! It had a center of what I'm guessing was amaretto white cream and sliced strawberries on top. They need to trim all the green leaf from the strawberries, although it is prettier served that way.
Our bill was high since we opted for the specials (it was Valentine's) but there are plenty of choices with reasonable prices

I cannot find enough words to warn people how bad this restaurant is. Terrible food, terrible owners and the rudest restaurant I have ever been to
Waiting 40 minutes to get a menu, whilst you watch other tables being told off and threatened for complaining. Go here at your peril

Hello Steve. You guys weren't lying when you told us you were going to write 16 bad reviews. Unfortunately, we can't do anything about how you and your group behaved that night. We tried to work with you, but you all were too intoxicated to communicate with you. The police were called once we were threatened and the older Gentlemen entered are kitchen yelling at the owner. After all this, your group left the restaurant without paying the bill and tried to flee the police chasing you. As I've said in my other replies to you... The police gave you a choice to pay your bill or face charges.

First, the hostess was very nice to us in getting us a table without a reservation. We may have been better off if they hadn't found us a table though. As a party of three we ultimately ordered three pasta dishes and waited on them for over an hour. It was clearly not just us the kitchen was way behind. Our waiter was minimally apologetic muttering "finally" as he dropped off the food. The food was okay and probably would have received a 4 star rating on its own under reasonable circumstances.

My husband and I were in Orlando for a conference, and we both love high quality Italian food. We loved it here so much we dined here a second time after our initial experience. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana has delicious Italian food, and the staff are all very friendly. We had the pleasure of meeting Vincenzo, the chef, as well as Victor and Davidad, who made us feel so welcomed. The salads are delicious. I had the eggplant appetizer as my entree and my husband the lasagna, both excellent and very generous portions. They have an extensive wine list. We were able to get a bottle of Rosso for a very reasonable price. Wonderful ambience. We highly recommend! If you want authentic Italian food, come here. We’ve been to Italy and Vincenzo Cucina Italiana offers the same high quality!

Came here last night with a group friends to celebrate our 25th year friendship and we couldn’t of picked a better place. From the hospitality to the service they did a phenomenal job. The food was really fresh and flavorful. Our server was attentive and made us feel special. I’m not one to write reviews but I just had to after our amazing experience at this establishment. Definitely the perfect place to celebrate any occasion

Is it good Italian? Yes. Nice place with a nice ambiance and the waiters were good. My mother ordered the veal parmesan and it was just way too salty for me. Didn't love the meatballs either. That said, my father ordered pasta bolognese and it was delicious. My pasta was good as well. The bread at the table was fantastic. Don't get me wrong, it's very good. I think our trips to Italy and Little Italy in NYC have made us Italian food snobs.

Came in for dinner tonight when it opened at 5pm. We asked to sit at the bar which was open and first come, first served. Francesco was our bartender and server. He helped us with the menu and everything selected was amazing. He was a master of making incredible drinks. I had cosmos and my husband had limoncello martinis. For starters I had the burrata and my husband the caprese. Both were fantastic and the olive oil on both was exceptional. For dinner I had the salmon penne entree in vodka sauce, my husband the gnocchi. But we also shared the short rib bucatini special. Everything was so delicious. We finished the bucatini and brought the remaining meals home for our son as leftovers. For dessert we shared the tiramisu and brought home the Nutella cheesecake for our son. This entire meal was an experience. Francesco was such a gracious host telling us about where he was from in Sicily, his journey to America, the history of the family restaurant, the homemade recipes, their other location and the effect on the restaurants from the pandemic. Overall this was a fantastic dining experience and we will be back again next time we are in town. Absolute perfection.

During quarantine due to COVID-19 we had decided to send a meal to our daughter and her family for an interesting and special dinner.
We ordered fettuccine alfredo for the grandchildren, lasagne and pollo marsala, and topped the dinner off with a fabulous desert of limoncello cake.
They absolutely loved the dinner. They felt that the portions were a very good size and they even included servings of bread with an herb oil.
When we travel to Orlando, our family is going to have to go to this restaurant.

Our first “ dining in” experience in many months and I am happy to report it was fabulous. Restaurant is attractive, tables are distanced plus you have the option of dining outside. Outside dining is on an elevated porch along the parking lot but they have put up screens that look like greenery to make it more attractive and private.
The food was delicious. The calamari was a little chewy but delicious nonetheless. We thoroughly enjoyed the veal parmigiana and chicken Marsala and their Nutella cheesecake was outstanding. Wine by the glass is reasonably priced starting at $10 . Service was great. You won’t be disappointed.

We are locals here in Orlando and have been wanting to try Vincenzos out for quite some time. Took my wife and friend here on a Thursday night. Food was really food. We had the Arancini, octopus special, Filet mignon, Tortellini and Grouper. Plates were presented nicely and tasted delicious. We went to bar after dinner and chatted with bartender and he was really nice and informative on Italian after dinner drinks. This is a great Italian restaurant and we will definitely be back again. Thank you Vincenzos

Picked this place as the restaurant we wanted to eat at was closed and the hotel recommend it. Reserved a table and we were seated promptly. Waiter arrived and explained the specials for the evening. We ordered the calamari which was very good. I decided on the lobster ravioli, my husband had a seafood and pasta dish which he enjoyed. The red sauce on mine overwhelmed the lobster and we both agreed that both the sauces on our dishes was very salty. The waiter who had been so efficient, suddenly disappeared... someone else appeared to offer dessert and coffee, another took the check. Then the original waiter reappeared and asked about dessert and check, rather strange as we had paid and were ready to leave. Can't say that we were impressed with this place.

We love supporting Local and Family owned when we travel. Our party of 9 selected to be seated outside. Our server was attentive, he was also the bar tender. He was knowledgeable about the plates and made sure we had what we needed, especially having three young children. The food was fantastic! Our group LOVED the meatballs, as they were homemade, you could tell by the texture and flavor. The Pesto was another favorite. Alfredo sauce was not the best we have had, but still good. Tiramisu was authentic! Prices were reasonable and amount of food was plenty.

It was a random pick while down in this part of town for the weekend. Truly great service, authentic Italian cuisine in a relatively casual setting The place is pretty basic, the acoustics are not good, the room is loud, and it's everything an Italian family would expect from their favorite restaurant. Such a nice treat. We had wine, apps, entrees and desserts. MOST of it was fantastic, the rest of it was only awesome! Oh... and make a reservation, ciao. Tip your servers well, this is what a professional team looks like!
