Over the years, I have frequented Prato and have yet to have a bad meal. If I ever want to sit down for a leisurely meal in Park Ave, I almost always gravitate to Prato. Last time I was here, I had ordered the Diavolo pizza, but saw my neighboring guest order the funghi and instantly knew I had to go back for it. If you love mushrooms and want a bright tasting pizza, the funghi is it. It is almost always a full house in the restaurant, but service is always prompt. read more

Prato was great! We got there just after it opened and it was already packed, told us it'd be UP TO a 45 min wait. We ended up waiting over an hour, but it was for sure worth it! We started with the Arancini, it was great! Crispy, warm, great sauce too. Then we all split a diavola pizza, the pesto tortellini, Cancio y Pepe, and a Branzino. Everything was phenomenal. Everything was cooked perfectly. The pasta was perfectly al dente. The sauce on the pastas was enough to taste but not so much that the pasta got all soggy. The Branzino was cooked perfectly, the skin was crispy, the meat was mild and flaky, the sauce was great but not overpowering. All in all, Prato was great. Great food, in a great area, nice service, cute vibe as well. I'd highly recommend and I'm looking forward to my next trip to Orlando to come again! read more

Prado will always be a place that I recommend to people. Especially locals or people visiting. It's right in Winter Park and it's absolutely stunning to be able to walk around and also eat good food. Spaghetti is a must and everybody raves about it. It's really good and they do not skimp on the meat. Meatballs are also a MUST. Any pizza is great. The portions are perfect and it's perfect to order multiple things and share. You can't go wrong. The ambiance is cozy but modern. read more

Giving a 3 star rating was actually hard because there are a lot of amazing things about this place and I certainly believe everyone should give it a shot. The ambiance is incredibly vibrant. Great atmosphere! It was Packed and you certainly will need a reservation, unless you're hitting the bar scene. Our waiter was smooth! Loved him! The food- well this is where the experience goes down for us. The calamari was the most tender I have ever tasted but honestly not a fan of the pretzel crusted breading. Our dishes were cacio e pepe and the black pepper campanelle were just ok. It wasn't awful- it just wasn't a hit for us. We thought we would have experience a more familiar and authentic Italian flavor food. Just not for us. This last point is highly subjective - they need to offer some bread as an Italian style restaurant, lol. read more

Best italian in winter Park! From the appetizers to the desserts this place was fabolous, if I can give more than 5 starts I will. Great atmosphere and great customer service. We were not able to make reservation in advance because it was full but we did a walk in. Our service was so friendly and knowledgeable of the menu did a great explanation of their menu and drinks. For our appetizers we did order the meatballs, which I really recommend they come in a tomate souce with onions. We also order the pretzel crusted calamari that comes with salsa rossa and Grain Mustard Aioli and Apricot crustini. For our entrees we did order The sweet potto ravioly, Marcona Almond Tortellini and Mustard Spaghettinni. You can either order half plrtion or full portion. They also have protein available if you want to added. Everything was so delicious. For desserts we order gelato whic they have vanilla with honey, chocolate expresso, tiramissu and Cioccolata. They were all good, i did nnot like much the Cioccolata. Tbey also have a great variety of wines, cocktails and seasonal cocktails as well. I try the Lavander haze and cetriolo and end up with a expresso martini. For parking you can either park along Park Ave or they is a public parking behind train station, which is almost across Prato. They have inside and outside sitting. They also have a bar area. Definitely i would be back i would like to try their pizza which look delicious. read more

Prato - Happy hour - Pizza Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

I love an evening at Prato! Tucked into cozy and upscale Park Ave, Prato has the perfect ambiance for an intimate date night or a fun celebration. I personally like to come for their happy hour specials! They have some great happy hour wine selections for $7, which was a perfect way to start! We also started with the meatballs, which were not a special but were a hit nonetheless! They pack both flavor and a slight kick, and we were able to add an extra for our group of four. We moved along to pizzas - we ordered 2 Diavolos to split among the 4 of us, which was the perfect amount. I do miss the days when the pizza special was $10 or $11 instead of $16, but prices are up everywhere, and it's still a HH special. This pizza is one of my favorites - the combo of meats and spice is great, and the crust is always the perfect texture! Definitely a must-try. We also added on a pasta dish - the black pepper campanelle was tasty and a good shareable as well! I will say, the portion wasn't as large as I was expecting for the price, but the entire meal was plenty of food for us. Definitely a fun spot with high quality food! Service is always attentive and accommodating, and for how busy the place always is, I've never felt rushed. It's a bit of a splurge for Italian for me, but I'll always return! read more

My husband and I came here for our wedding anniversary on a rainy Saturday afternoon. We were on time for our reservation and the restaurant wasn't busy, but they were not ready to sit us yet. We had to wait 15 minutes in the rain for our table to be ready. After spending hours on my hair/makeup as we had a whole day planned for our anniversary, it put a sour taste in my mouth. Started with the pretzel crusted calamari. It was good, but greasy. If you're sensitive to overly-greasy foods I would avoid it. Yes, it's fried so you can expect it to have some oil but every bite tasted like oil to me. My husband ordered the spaghettini and I ordered the gnocchi. Once again, greasy. The pasta itself was delicious but there is a lot of oils used in every dish. The server was fantastic and the Chardonnay I had was very good and complemented my meal well. This place isn't fancy by any means but it's nice for a casual meal. I would not return based on our experience but I will say the house-made pasta was very good. It might have just been a bad day. Oh, and the coffee they serve is disgusting. Don't bother. read more

Prato - Mustard Spaghettini Cacio E Pepe - Pizza Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

Prato was phenomenal. We ordered the Fennel Arancini for appetizer, it was very crispy without being greasy and the fill was soft and very flavorful For entrees we got 2 small plates from the pasta menu, my favorite was the Mustard Spaghettini Cacio E Pepe the pork was perfectly seasoned and cooked and the pasta was al dente. Lastly we had the steak and it was the cherry on top for the night, usually I dont order steaks because most of the time you can only taste the meat and they barely season it, this was not the case. It was cooked to the desired temperature as well We will definitely come back soon read more

Prato is a staple in Park Ave and it lived up to the hype! We came for lunch on a Saturday and it was very busy. We started with the homemade meatballs were which served over a creamy tomato sauce with polenta. The polenta was so good!! Make sure you get bread to scoop up the remaining sauce. The truffle fries were thin, crispy, and very tasty! After some heavy apps, I decided to order the lunch chicken salad. It was so huge and had many different vegetables in it. The best part was the pancetta vinaigrette dressing, so good! My husband ordered the truffle gnocchi. A definite winner! The rich truffle goodness with those soft gnocchi pillows was a delight. I would highly recommend!! Prato always has a good vibe and great service. From the mouthwatering meatballs to the giant chicken salad, truffle fries, and truffle gnocchi - it's all good stuff! Make sure to make a reservation at least a month in advance as this hot spot books up quickly! read more

I went to Prato for the first time in a long time with some friends this past week. It did not disappoint! Although a little loud, we all had a great time and delicious meal. We started off with some great cocktails. I got an Old Fashion and it was just how I like it, my wife raved about Cetriolo, a cucumber vodka drink. We split the cacio e pepe pasta and it was as good as I remembered. And then shared the whole bramzino, it was cooked to perfection with a crisp, flavorful exterior and tender, flaky fish inside. We can't wait to go back! read more

5 Stars for meatballs you'll be craving for days and pasta you won't soon forget. It's been 8 years since my last review of Prato, so it was time for an update. Prato gets booked up early, especially for the weekend. I suggest bypassing the line for a table and going straight to the bar. It's open seating at the bar and you can order food from the menu. Best of all, the bar staff is tremendous! Leticia was our server from the bar last time I was there and she was incredibly attentive and friendly (something you don't always find with bartenders). My food recs: - Meatballs: Order one for each of the people in your party for the perfect starter to your meal. It's hearty and sitting on a bed of polenta that will have you scraping your plate. I know I did! - Cacio e pepe pasta: wow. I tend to prefer the half portion, since this is a rich pasta dish. Got extra speck at the end? Save it for your next scrambled eggs! This dish is exceptional. - Cauliflower and celery root soup: This soup is new to the menu and can't be missed. The golden raisins on top add the perfect sweet surprise in this savory supper. - Any salad on the menu. Truly. Thank me later. Overall, this spot continues to impress years later. Thankful they have a wide bar! read more

Forgot to check-in on Yelp, but had an amazing meal again at Prato! They really just do everything right! Our server Emily M was fantastic. She timed everything perfectly, answered all our questions, and gave our party the time we wanted to enjoy our conversation and food. I highly suggest a booth near the back across from the cooking line. It's not exactly an open kitchen, but you do get to see all the action. The arancini and calamari were both great starters. We then shared a Black Diamond pizza, which was amazing!! This truffle pizza was delicious! Not overpowering truffle, but full flavor. It's also the first $50 pizza I've ever had, but was worth it. The spaghettini is still a bowl of creamy cheesy perfect noodle deliciousness. read more

Came here on a date night and decided to check it out after looking for some Italian places in the city. Prices were pretty decent here I can't lie. Meatballs were absolutely delicious as well, after hearing, and seeing so much reviews about it, I decided to try them myself and wow they're delicious, flavored and season beautifully along with the fact that they were tender to cut. It had no part of it that was uncooked. Service was great also. I believe both bartenders checked in on me and my partner and asked after the first bite of everything was okay, and truly it was. Drinks were just as good also. I don't have any complaints to be honest. I'm not so big on the calendar, but if I were to be looking around for any Italian food, that would be the place for me. read more

Sometimes, you just find one of those places. My name is Peter Periwinkle, and I'm here to confess: I'm now a Prato-holic. Some of the most perfectly cooked calamari I've ever had (and I'm an Italian-American flower, so I've had a lot). Meatball served over polenta that made me want to start saying the word "Polenta!" like people say "Bravo!" or "Mazel Tov!" Ricotta pancakes with some sort of caramel apple mess piled on top. What the hell is a ricotta pancake? I don't know, shut up, stop asking questions and go eat one you curious little twerp. What's missing here? Nothing. That's the trick. It was ALL superb, all the way down. Peter P. can almost never guarantee a return visit. Prato is a happy exception. Sometimes, somebody just serves you a killer meal. Thanks, guys. read more

Our server was amazing, we absolutely loved her We heard so much about Prato and have been to other places like bar, Italia, Armando's and Ravello, so the bar is set pretty high for me I ordered two orders of meatballs, the ravioli and the Cacio e Pepe. The meatballs were pretty good, but after seeing them be made 2 inches from the trashcan was pretty gross. The ravioli and the Cacho e Pepe were extremely average. Which I would've been totally fine with if the expectations weren't so high online Like if this was an Italian joint, I have never heard of, and I came in and tried this. I would not have been disappointed. But influencers online saying that they would put this on their last meal list is absolutely ridiculous This is not a top five Italian restaurant in the Orlando area. The hype is not real read more

I had a lovely Girls night at Prato, casual yet upscale ambience. We were recommended to get small plates to share with the table which is exactly what we wanted. These plates are made fresh to order. We started off with a glass of Asti, which was like a sweet white wine. Then, started off with their meatballs which was so flavorful and was accompanied by what tasted like a creamy mashed potato. The 2 pastas we split were the Cacio e pepe & the potato gnocchi which was by far my favorite! The Diavolo pizza was a pepperoni pizza with a nice kick, not too spicy. Thank you to our lovely server Beatrice who took care of us for the night. Very patient & had great recommendations! read more

I'm sure the food is delicious however, I didn't even get to try it because the hostesses were unkind. My friends and I decided on Prato for lunch and wanted to try this place for the first time. We walked in with smiles on a pretty busy day and went straight to the hostess stand. We were not greeted upon entry and stood waiting for the 3 hostesses to speak to us for maybe 5 minutes. We weren't acknowledged at all until one of my friends asked to look at a menu. The menu was shoved in her hand by a hostess who walked away without saying anything after that. The other women at the stand even giggled a bit after that and STILL nobody spoke to us. After this I was so shocked by the way we were treated that I didn't even want to eat there anymore and we left and found somewhere else. I wonder if this was just because the restaurant was busy however, there were three women at the stand who could've at least uttered a hello and none of them did. I'm sure the food is great and I've seen many reviews about how nice the hostesses are but we were new customers who were treated immediately disregarded! I will most likely not come back to this restaurant despite wanting to previously. read more

Prato is good, but some dishes could use improvement. The ambiance is really nice and the service was good. I did really like the meatballs, but we had the duck breast at our table and it was not good. It had a taste that was almost as if it was reaching its expiration... had a funky taste and we have had plenty of duck breast in the past. Maybe it was a bad order or it was old, but overall. Blah. The meatballs were delicious and the pasta was yummy. I am not a fan of their mustard cacio e Pepe, but I am a lover of the regular cacio e Pepe. Unfortunately they cannot make it the regular way. Overall Prato is a good experience, most dishes are really great, and the drinks are good. I would come back, but I do think there are some better Italian in Orlando! read more

The food itself was really enjoyable -- everything we ordered came out tasting fresh and well‑prepared. Unfortunately, the long wait for service took away from the experience. It took quite a while to get seated , and even after we placed our order, the wait for our meals was noticeably longer than expected. If the service were a bit more efficient, this place would be an easy recommendation read more

Really overrated and overpriced place in my personal opinion. We've got there on Saturday at around 2pm and it was very crowded. Thankfully our table was at the very back so we were comfortable and able to hear each other. The restaurant is more like a bar than an eating spot. Definitely not family friendly. Ordered few different pizzas to try, potato gnocchi, salad and crostinis. Few margaritas and mojitos, as well as mocktails for kids. The food was alright, nothing special at all. We eat Italian at least once a week because we really love the cuisine and who doesn't! We definitely ate better pizzas at other places. Gnocchi was the one dish that everyone really liked. After about 20 minutes in our server started to reappear every other 7-10 minutes and asking if we need anything else and on the third time he told us the kitchen is closing which was around 3:30pm. After few more times he came over we've realized he really needs the table and we took the bill. We still had most of the food on the table as no one really wanted it. My mom wanted coffee and the only coffee they had was basic americano no creamer as well. Maybe it was just us, just that particular time of the day and that specific server was not having it. Who knows)))) but definitely not coming back and not recommending. The interior though is definitely awesome and the kids loved the open pizza making area. The hosts were also very nice. read more

Food: 4 Decor: 4 Service: 3 Came here for a late weekend dinner around 8pm as a walk-in without any reservations, but was able to grab one seat at the bar without any wait. Widowmaker $19.50 Hazelnut Romesco, Cavolo Nero, Fennel Sausage, Farm Egg 3/5. Good. Sausage and farm egg balanced nicely with the cavolo nero, although overall it wasn't one of the best pizzas I've had. Portion size was very generous - I could only finish about half. Mustard Spaghettini "Cacio E Pepe" $12 Radicchio, Speck, Balsamico 4/5. Great. Pasta was cooked perfectly and came out piping hot, and the sauce and accompaniments balanced each other very nicely. Overall a great cacio e pepe and better than the pizza. Service was okay. My water never ran empty, although it took a while to flag someone for the check. read more

I just want to say my experience here was not quite as good as the rest of the people who were dining with me. The wait staff were very polite and helpful. The kitchen dropped the duck breast so I had to wait for a new one to come out which does not bother me. By the time I got my duck breast everyone else I was with had finished their food. The reason for the 3 stars is because the duck breast had a very off taste and I've had quite a few duck breasts. It was likely on the edge of going bad if not slightly bad already. Since everyone else had eaten, I ate most of the duck breast because I did not want to send it back and make everyone wait longer. I wouldn't suggest the duck breast here. On a lighter note I did try everyone else's meals including the gnocchi, cacio e pepe, ravioli, and the focaccia bread. All of which were amazing! I would definitely go back for the pasta. The restaurant itself was very modern and I loved that the bar took up the center of the restaurant so there was a lot of room at the bar to get a drink. The wine selection was also very good. read more

I loooove Prato, the food, the vibe, the drinks. It is all amazing. There was a few months in 2021 where we came 7 weeks in a row, we bring all of our friends and family that are visiting here and they always request it again in the future. The handmade pizzas and pastas are so fresh and delicious, and I love that the menu changes frequently so there is always something new and exciting to try. The mustard spaghettini is the stand out pasta that never disappoints, so creamy and salty. Their raviolis and tortellinis are also delicious, the short rib being my favorite. The diavolo and widowmaker pizzas are my favorite, the crust is cooked to chewy/crispy perfection. Their meatballs with polenta and onions are sooo good, as well as the crostinis. You can never go wrong with Prato, even if you have to wait two hours for a table! read more
