We came here for our anniversary lunch date and this place did not disappointment! As vegetarians, there were decent amount of good options for us and our waitress did a great job explaining all the options to us and the flavors of each dish.

We absolutely loved the Mustard Spaghettini  - it was so different and unique and weren't sure what to expect but we were very happy with the dish and the flavors. The gnocchi was good, pretty standard dish. The Arincini balls were good but overpriced in my opinion. I wish they put more of the sweet potato ricotta.

One of the best Italian restaurants that offers fresh cooked food without breaking your budget. The customer service from the staff is top notched. I was able to make reservations for a party of five the day before. It was wonderful that management approved the reservations without requiring a credit card on file-like some places. We had the bubbliest server helping us with our meal selections.  The food was remarkable and I appreciate them bringing the birthday girl a glass of chocolate ice cream or pudding lol. Even though our meals seemed to take a little longer, the wait was worth it!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Prato in Orlando, Florida, to celebrate my graduation, and the experience was exceptional. We made a reservation over the phone for our party of seven, ensuring we had a spot at this popular Italian restaurant.

The menu was initially a bit daunting, as we weren't familiar with many of the items listed. However, our server was incredibly helpful, taking the time to explain each dish in detail. This personal touch made all the difference and set the tone for a fantastic dining experience.

The pizzas arrived first, and they were absolutely delicious. Each bite was bursting with flavor, and it was clear that Prato took great pride in their pizza offerings. For my main course, I ordered the veal, and it was so delectable that I devoured it completely. The rest of our group opted for various pasta dishes, and every single one of them was delighted with their choices.

Prato is definitely a place to splurge if you have the means. The quality of the food and the overall dining experience make it worth every penny. I highly recommend this restaurant and am already looking forward to returning next year.

This restaurant has exceptional food and fantastic ambiance. We made reservations on a Tuesday for a Thursday evening dinner. We arrived to a line out the door and a very vibrant packed full restaurant with people crowding the entrance. Reservations are strongly suggested!

We were greeted in close to 10 minutes after being seated. Started with the Pretzel Crusted Calamari and ordered our entrees. I chose the Potato Gnocchi (Truffle Butter, Parmesan)and my partner the Teres Major Steak (Cauliflower, Sunchoke, Fingerling Potato, Chantrelle Conserva 36) and the Mascarpone Polenta (Parmesan, Frantoia EVOO, Chives). As far as the meal goes, absolutely excellent. We were so pleased with our choices and can’t wait until we’re in the area to return for the exact same choices. It was perfection! I’ve only had Gnocchi this good with the firmness gnocchi should have when I made it myself! They nailed it.

Cons: Being so busy, the place was loud!!!! Just prepare for that during the busy holiday season especially. We realize the restaurant can’t control that. Only other con was (even though servers were running around everywhere)it still felt understaffed. We waited 14 minutes for our bill after requesting it and another 16 to have our server come back and grab our card.  After a long day, long drive, and 2 hours in the restaurant we were a bit antsy. Patience will definitely come in handy😊.

The quality of food definitely has us returning!

This is a fantastic choice for a great meal!

Prato is located in Winter Park, FL. It's a restaurant with a bar. We went for lunch right after opening and were seated quickly. The food was okay. The best was the Diavolo pizza, meatballs and the mustard spaghetti. The worst is the gnocchi. The experience was okay but we don't see ourselves going out of our way to return. Check it out for yourself and you decide.
