Prato is such a comfort meal for me. The staff is always kind, the vibe of the space is cozy, and…read moreit's always a meal to look forward to. My go to drink is usually a white linen. However, for the sake of happy hour, I ordered the Cetriolo and my husband ordered a negroni bianco. The cetriolo was light, refreshing, heavy on the cucumber, and overall the perfect summer cocktail. And the negroni was smooth and sophisticated. As a starter, we ordered the meatballs (because you didn't go to prato if you didn't order them) and the Piccante Dolce to balance. The meatballs are always such a classic 10/10 you have to get them. The Piccante Dolce was light and very balanced. As our mains, I ordered the Duck and Foie Gras Mezzaluna (mind you i'm typically a mustard spaghetti girl) and was VERY surprised! It was a great portion, not too heavy, and absolutely delicious! My husband got the Chicken Saltimbocca and demolished the entire thing. It's safe to say he was a fan. Because it was my birthday, I was offered a free dessert from their menu. The Cheesecake with peach compote was incred. She wasn't too sweet and a great sized portion for 2 people. Our server, Alexandra, was the SWEETEST. She was so attentive and had such a great attitude. She offered to take pictures of us, and really made our day. Next time we come, we will be requesting to sit in her section.

As you walk in there's a large bar with a decent amount of seating, and to the right a mix of tables. Take on the limited outdoor seating at your own risk during Florida's storm season. I started with the Sunshine State cocktail. The gin cocktail was a little more lime forward than I prefer, but I'm still a fan! To follow it, I tried the Negroni Bianco. It was on the sweeter side and had a lot of floral flavor. The Bruschette Caprese has so much flavor, I couldn't get place if the tomatoes were marinated, but I loved it! For dinner I couldn't resist the house special, mustard spaghettini. It was creamy, and mustard marinated noodles the perfect balance. As you'd expect with the setting and price point, the service was professional and attentive.

FANTASTIC PLACE- Turci Pasta is one of a kind…read more Cute ambience inside and friendly staff. Intimate setting and you get a show if you're there when they are making the pasta. ALL the pasta is made fresh and it shows!!!! Great selection of choices - our table ordered from the special menu that came with multiple courses. Starting out with the truffle honey bruschetta- let me say this is worth trying!!! So much flavor packed on a delicious piece of Italian bread. The purple sweet potato gnocchi is amazing! Just a burst of great flavors and creamy/cheese sauce. The green cappellacci pasta dish was delicious and a nice touch of arugula in the middle. The limoncello cake was decadent! This is a must try place in College park, support local businesses and enjoy.

She forgot the bread, forgot our water and we'd have to waive her down for refills, and mis ordered 2 items. We got entirely different items than we ordered.

We strolled in at 8:40pm, completely unaware that they closed in 20 minutes. Leia let us know that and we quickly apologized and asked to take the food to go, but she insisted it wasn't an issue as long as we ordered quickly. We both ordered immediately after, and the food came out very quickly after that! I chose the pollo al limone which was served over a bed of spinach. It was very citrusy and light and the perfect portion size. My friend ordered the ravioli, and she was satisfied with it! There were still some tables finishing up once we received our plates, and luckily we weren't the last ones in there as there were a few folks still sitting at the bar. We felt so bad for coming in right before closing, but Leia was fabulous and made our experience very lovely!

I book Valentine's Day reservations months in advance every year because it is nearly impossible to…read moresecure plans closer to the date. This year I chose Adriático. Only days before Valentine's Day, we were informed that the restaurant would be offering a prix-fixe menu of only four entree options and that the regular dinner menu would not be available at all. That was not communicated at the time of booking. The published prix-fixe menu did not include a vegetarian entrée option and did not contain any dishes that appealed to myself or my partner. With only days' notice, all comparable restaurants in the area were already fully booked. As a result, we were left without any alternatives, and our Valentine's Day dinner plans were effectively ruined. My partner called the restaurant to clarify options, and the response we received was dismissive and unhelpful, which only compounded the frustration. For a major holiday that requires advance planning, clearer communication would have made a significant difference

The items I order were all extremely tasty, and the adult beverages were refreshing as an accompaniment.

The other seated nearby at the bar seemed to be enjoying their dining experience as well (again, thanks to great service paired with tasty food). This is a location I continue to say is VERY easily recommended. Go! Enjoy!!

What an incredible dining experience at Delany's Tavern!…read more From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and professional, and the ambiance was the perfect blend of elegant and welcoming. We started with the She Crab Soup, which was rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious. I then ordered the Dirty Rice Entrée, and wow--what an explosion of flavors! It reminded me of a New Orleans-style paella, loaded with perfectly seasoned dirty rice, andouille sausage, shrimp, and an incredible depth of flavor in every bite. My husband began with the French Vegetable Soup, which he described as magnificent, followed by the Short Rib Sliders, which were tender, flavorful, and expertly prepared. For dessert, we indulged in the Peach Cobbler à la Mode, topped with vanilla bean ice cream. It was decadent, comforting, and the perfect ending to the meal. To top it all off, we enjoyed a frothy cappuccino served with a rock candy sugar stick--a beautiful finishing touch. The food, presentation, service, and atmosphere were all exceptional. We can't say enough good things about our experience and look forward to returning. Highly recommended!

Since it was super hot that day we ate inside. Again blown away but how pretty it was. Every table had a candle on it and every table was set up with a beautiful napkin and plates. Here's one of the best parts, they did not seat us on top of other guests. All patrons were spread out. I absolutely hate (and it happens all the time) when there's 40 tables open and they put all of the customers at 4 tables right next to each other. I know it seems minimal but to me it's not. Now to the food. Lordy, lordy it was top notch. We started off with their meatballs which were tender and light. Then I got cacio de peppe and we got shrimp scampi. Both were a top 10! We will definitely be back. It's a good 1 hour drive for us but we'll worth the ride.

We showed up around 4 PM hoping the World Cup game was on and sure enough, we were able to snag a seat at the bar and watch it. We were greeted by Ginger, a really welcoming and knowledgeable bartender. She poured us some drinks which consisted of beer and an espresso martini. Since we were new, she gave us some time to look over the menu and settle in. We started off with the mussels. Unbeknownst to us, they were probably the best mussels we had ever had. They came out on a cast-iron skillet sizzling with a butter sauce. For our main meal, we ordered the chicken piccata and the queen bee pizza. We absolutely loved both. We were stuffed to the brim, but kept packing more in! I ate my body weight in food. We are so excited to go back and bring our family and friends.

We got the Chipotle Cheesesteak and chose rosemary parmesan fries for our side. And we each got the Stubborn mule. Food and drinks came out super quick. Drinks within 5 minutes and food about another 5 minutes. The cheesesteak was cut in half for us and our server also brought an extra plate. The meat was very flavorful and tender. It was also nice and cheesy and had caramelized onions. The bread was fresh, slightly toasted on top, soft inside but strong enough to hold all the meat and cheesy goodness. The fries were very rosemary forward but that was fine since that was the description of the fries. Would 100% order that again but all for me next time haha.
