Prato - Winter Park

I had a fantastic experience and the food was unbelievably delicious! The gnocchi special was outstanding!

I am writing this review with mixed feelings. My wife and I had a reservation and were initially placed at a high table, which was uncomfortable for my wife due to her recent knee replacement. I requested to be moved to a regular table, but after a wait, we were offered a table near the curb. We declined and stayed put. I inquired about the empty booths, only to be told they were not available. It seemed they were being saved for a larger party, despite one couple already seated in one. We brought this to the manager's attention, who apologized but did not make any effort to relocate us. Despite this seating issue, the dinner was enjoyable. We started with tasty meatballs for an appetizer, followed by three half-sized pasta dishes. The gnocchi was a standout, but the other two dishes were also delicious. We paired our meal with a glass of Pinot Grigio and two glasses of Barolo, which were all enjoyable. Our server was excellent and recommended the perfect pasta dishes. The food and service were top-notch, and our overall experience would have been five stars if not for the seating mishap. The management could benefit from prioritizing customer satisfaction over saving empty tables. I recommend being very specific about your seating preferences when making a reservation.

Brilliant menu, attentive wait staff. Our short legs meant we weren’t comfortable on the front tables and were gladly moved to somewhere more suitable. Meatballs are terrific, waiter explained the whole menu, excellent pizza. The butternut squash ravioli was a little short on butternut flavor and if I must be picky then if you’re going to write your menu in Italian then make sure the staff know how they are meant to be pronounced, else just write it in English. I’d welcome a chance to go back next time we’re in Orlando.

The food was delicious. The menu has seasonal changes, but quality and service is consistently excellent. They make the best branzino I’ve had outside of Italy!

I love Prato! On this visit, the service wa a bit less perfect than usual, with my cocktail being prepared incorrectly. And, the Pasta didn’t seem as creative as what I’m used to from Prato. However, it was still wonderful and I’ll definitely be back
