Vito’s Chop House Orlando

Vito’s Chop House sits on International Drive, steps from The Wheel at ICON Park. It specializes in Italian-inflected grills and seafood.

The room runs smart and elegant, but the real reason to choose Vito’s over the neon-lit chains flanking the Sea Life Orlando Aquarium is the focus. While the rest of the strip prioritizes quick turnover for the tourist crowds, this kitchen keeps a more traditional pace. It is a heavier, more serious dining experience than its neighbors, providing a necessary alternative for anyone weary of the surrounding carnival. If you want a reprieve from the constant movement of the park, this is where you go.
