    Such a cute little cafe with 5 tables and Italian motif. Mainly designed for take out. The staff is so friendly. The smell is amazing! In a shopping plaza with Walmart at the other end. Plenty of free parking. Their cheese bread is soooo amazing. Mozzarella oozes out and the home made sauce is the best I ever tasted. Next comes our pizza. I prefer a puffy crust but I have to tell you I loved this thin crust. The flavors were so authentic. Served hot from the oven to our little table. The owner served us personal and it was like our own private restaurant!! Amazing and must try!!

    Cheese Ravioli
    Jessica P.

    Delicious little spot we found while visiting family! This spot seems more like a take out/delivery place. The food is delicious but comes in aluminum to go containers. They don't have water glasses, it's bottled Aquafina. I also didn't see any wine or beer in the menu. The chef is a very kind woman and her nephew Sebastian was very attentive to us. The pasta dishes come with garlic bread and a side salad or soup. I chose the salad with Italian dressing. It had tomatoes, onions and the homemade dressing was great. Better than anything store bought. I ordered the cheese ravioli with meat sauce. It comes with melted cheese on top. The flavor was wonderful! Next time we're in town, we'll definitely order take out or delivery from here!

    Penne Spicy Antonio Pasta with sausage
    Maya C.

    Some of the best Italian to go I've had! Rarely do I have a craving for Italian so when it hits me, I try to make sure that I'm satisfied. I searched thru my delivery app and I found this place. There weren't many reviews written about it here on Yelp or Google but the consensus was that they were amazing. I shrugged my shoulders and decided to give them a try. Looking over their menu, they some really good options, like Jumbo Shrimp Linguine Scampi pasta and even combos where you can get half ravioli, half lasagna. I haven't seen that before at a local Italian place. They also offer hot and cold subs, pizza, and calzones but I decided for this meal I wanted pasta. I ordered the Spaghetti Aribiatta Pasta (fresh basil, tomatoes, fresh garlic, olive oil, sautéed with mushrooms in a spicy tomato sauce) with added jumbo shrimp, garlic bread on the side and a choice of soup or salad to which I chose the antipasti salad. My man chose the Penne Spicy Antonio Pasta (Sautéed with fresh garlic and tomatoes in a spicy creamy Alfredo sauce) with garlic bread and a house salad. He also added a sausage to his pasta. When we got our food and unwrapped it, we were surprised by the portion size. This could easily be two meals. My antipasti salad looked and tasted amazing! Never have I had one with mortadella salami so this was a real treat. My pasta was superb! I'm glad I chose the shrimp as it paired well with the spicy sauce and they were not kidding when it said spicy. Maybe from a lot of red peppers? I'm not sure but I liked it. Will say though I ate a lot of the pasta the first night and it did leave my stomach a little upset but I still ate the rest of it and I was fine afterwards. That was probably too much spice at one time for me. It was worth it. My man absolutely loved his food. You must try them out!

    Baked Ziti With Marinara Sauce

    I just ordered takeout food from here for the first time and it was amazing and reasonably priced. I got the baked ziti dinner that came with a side salad and garlic bread. It was covered in cheese and super flavorful. I can't wait to try more items!

    Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo. The mushrooms and artichokes were a great touch.
    Natalie V.

    You have got to try it! We went for lunch. She is the sweetest women cooking great food for us locals. My husband couldn't decide between the baked ziti and spinach lasagna. He chose the lasagna and when it came out she was sweet enough to make it half and half. Super thoughtful without us ever asking. I ordered Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo. Y'all, this is my absolute favorite meal in the world and it was great, authentic, creamy, homemade Italian food. The salad was great and the homemade Italian dressing was way better than anything in a bottle. I will say, this will be more of a lunch and takeout place for me, as I like sitting down, having drinks and such for dinner. This is more of an eat and go place which is totally fine. I will visit times over

    Spaghetti with meat sauce.
    Gigi T.

    Off the beaten path! This little restaurant packs some really good flavor. Popped in while we were in town and wish they were closer to home! The meat sauce is delicious with authentic Italian flavors. The garlic bread and pesto bread are amazingly fresh. I also got their minestrone soup as a side and it tastes just like my Italian mama's soup. This place really made me feel like I was eating a Sunday dinner at mama's house.

Cocktails were ok, my salt & vinegar martini was not salty or vinegary enough for my liking. Service: friendly waiter. I think it was a busy Saturday night because there were long wait times for apps and then again for our entrees; our dirty plates took a while to clear off the table. Ambiance: sat outside on the sidewalk which was perfect for the weather and less noisy than inside

Well, I have to say that this restaurant can compete with the best in NYC, New Haven, and Providence or Boston! First and foremost, the service was top notch. The attentiveness and efficiency of our waiter was the best, but to top it off, 2 of the owners each came to the table to check on things. This is something that stands out today. I love it. The atmosphere was comfortable yet refined and the place is very clean. The dim lighting is a point that my wife appreciates in a restaurant setting, but our seats were probably the least lit, (our backs to the front window) and our old eyes needed our phone lights to read the menu, haha. The Arancini was perfect and we loved the marinara. My veal dish was magnificent with it's perfectly cooked, large and very tender cutlet.

Wasn't sure if I'd like the mix of Gorgonzola and goat cheese but it really is one of the most delicious Alfredo type sauces I've had. And I really loved that it was not over sauced. The crispy bits of Prosciutto di Parma were the best topping! My hubby and I sat at the bar. He had the clams and being a bit of a clam snob, he really enjoyed his dish! This is a busy little place but worth the wait. It's not crazy loud even though it's a small, intimate, busy restaurant. Mark and Ryan were so attentive and friendly. If you haven't been, you really should go. Sit at the bar! Make new friends!

Cocktails- I had the happy hour Prati Mule with bourbon and then an old fashioned after- both were delicious, that old fashioned was made right. John ordered a beer and was very happy.

I was so excited for the short rib I missed that it was over polenta. I would have preferred mashed potatoes- but that just meant I ate every single carrot- omg, so yummy and almost all of the beef- again, perfectly cooked, great flavor and fork soft- hmmmm. I love a tender, forkful of cow. Next time, get a table and I'm going to try the scallops! Or maybe something alfredo. We'll see, but I will be back!

One time, my family came here with our cousin, who is autistic. We were seated in the back room, where the sound echoed and was a little loud. The manager approached us and offered to move us to a quieter area of the restaurant, and even offered to provide headphones for my cousin. It was one of the best experiences we've ever had at a restaurant, especially considering that dining out can be challenging if the environment is too overstimulating. I love seeing inclusivity in restaurants, and this encounter will forever be one of my sweetest core memories. Thank you, Prati!

I had the very simple rigatoni bolognese. Pasta was cooked to a perfect al dente and the sauce was really good. It was a little on the sweet side for me, but tasted pretty fresh! They also brought us out an "on the house" mushroom appetizer that was delicious. If you like mushrooms, get it! I also sampled the lobster ravioli (on special) and enjoyed it. I am not a huge lobster anything fan, but even I thought it was pretty good! I also had a glass of the house red wine blend they have and that was one of the best house wines I've had in a long time! Super smooth. Teeniest bit sweet. No aftertaste at all. The service was wonderful. Our waitress was attentive and very knowledgeable and just generally great. I had only sat in the bar area previously and thought it could get a little loud but I felt less so about the restaurant itself. The tables are nicely spaced from each other so you have your privacy. My only complaint (and not really a complaint a just a warning so no one is surprised if it comes up... ) is that they charge a $30 cake fee if you bring your own cake. It's just a little bit of a bummer, but I totally understand why. They were super polite about it when I called. Anyhow... food and service was great. Would go again!
