    Pear ravioli with poach pear in wine
    Ashley H.

    This was my third time dining here, and I'm impressed every single time! Everything is so fresh, flavorful, and delicious, and the presentation is just as beautiful as the food itself. I took my sister here for Magical Dining and, of course, I got so caught up enjoying our meal that I forgot to take pictures of the menu. The inside has a good amount of seating, but it's smaller and cozy, so we decided to sit outside and really enjoyed it. I highly recommend making reservations because this place gets busy! The service was great very friendly and respectful. I'll definitely continue coming back for more delicious meals. Highly recommend.

    Good quality food and nice portions. We went for Magical Dining and the 3 courses was a nice touch. I started with the porchetta which was amazing. I had to let it come to temp since it was freezing cold. My husband's lasagna was probably my favorite. It was so yummy. I got the 3 cheese pasta which was good, but I added chicken for $6 and it was super small and very thin. Glad I added the sausage because those were so flavorful. They only had wine based cocktails and beer, but they were refreshing. The best part is that they make the canoli right at your table. The customer service was very welcoming. It is definitely worth a try if you love pasta.

    Porchetta carpaccio and bruschetta

    Haven't been here since before the renovation and name change. We did the magical dining menu. For our appetizers, we had the pork carpaccio and classic bruschetta. For mains we ordered the fettuccine and pear ravioli. Lastly for dessert we tried the cannoli and lemon cake. All of the dishes blew me away. I always look forward to the pear ravioli because it's so unique. The wine poached pear is really a game changer and cuts through all the cheesiness/creaminess. I thoroughly enjoyed the cannoli cart as well. Our server presented us an empty cannoli, and we had the option of our fillings and he prepared right in front of us. Great way to end the night. The new space looks great. It felt very romantic and was perfect for date night.

    Stopped in for magical dining and so glad we did. The pasta was so fresh, heck you could see them making it in real time. They do a table side stuffing of cannoli which is fun. The spicy sauce was very spicy and I loved that. The one downfall was that the service was so slow. It took over 2 hours to eat a meal and we watched other tables sit/eat/leave during that time. It kept feeling like we were being ignored. Not sure why but it did take away from the experience to be so very slow.

    Loved the fresh handmade pasta! A gem in College Park. The Magical Dining menu was amazing! It was full size portions of their popular dishes on their regular menu. Great service and cozy vibes.

    Pear ravioli with poached pear

    Did a group dinner here, and did make a reservation (gratuity added for 6+). Our server was so nice and patient with us. Some of us ordered appetizers and some didn't, but someone ordered bread for us and some people ordered different varieties of bruschetta. For entrees, they have a good assortment of pastas, from classics to their chefs specials, and you can't go wrong with any of them. They're all full of flavors and so fresh! For dessert, someone did magical dining and got a table side canoli which is where they make the canoli in front of you. Overall, such an amazing experience!

    My first time here, came for the Magical Dining but will come back for more because that was some savory and fresh Italian food! Service was great by the entire staff. We went because it was our anniversary so they had decorated the table a bit. Had the spicy pasta and my partner got the 3 cheese Alfredo (which I am still thinking about). Great atmosphere, cute place.

    Fantastic, intimate dinner experience. Everything about this dinner was magical. Our waitress was fantastic and so sweet! The venue is small so make sure you make a reservation! We also loved that we could see the chef making our pasta! She was also very sweet and waved at us for a photo! Everything we ate was delicious. Bread service to start was yummy, the Caesar salad was beautifully arranged and just as tasty. I got the bolognese and my partner got the lasagna both were 10/10! The tagliatelle was so fresh with the bolognese - it was honestly perfect. We got the lava cake for dessert and the waitress also brought us a cannoli for my partners birthday! It was honestly the best experience and I can't wait to go back.

    We visited Turci Pasta for the first time for Valentines Day. It has been one of the spots I have been waiting to go. Let's just say we loved it . It was a pre-paid pre-fixe meal and we were able to see the menu before paying. Dinner was paid by the time we came in. The restaurant was decorated for Valentine's Day and it was truly romantic. We were seated inside in a corner that's resembled Italy. Only issue we had the people behind us were so loud, we could hear there entire conversation. Bread and olive oil were delish! It was a five course meal and everything was absolutely delicious and so fresh. Hoping next Valentine's we come back!

    I've been two times and the first visit was great which made us return to try the 4 course dining. However, our waiter the second time made a lot of mistakes. 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. There was no offerings for the multiple errors either which was disappointing. After our last visit going so poorly I can't say we'll be back.

    Stopped with a buddy from out of town. He ordered the ravioli and loved it. I ordered lasagne to share and it was one of the best I have had. Sure it's $$ but good. Also got fettuccini with meatballs and a side sausage. Enjoy the pasta and meatball. The sausage was very good. Everything is homemade and very good. Service good and attentive. Will be back for sure.

    Wow! We've been wanting to go here for the longest time as we have always heard good things. I have to say it lived up to the hype. The food was authentic, fresh, and delicious. I would highly recommend it to anyone. The setting is intimate as the dining area is smaller, but it's perfect for a date night or double date.

    King Mushroom Pappardelle
    Jennifer S.

    You know that full feeling after Thanksgiving dinner. That's how I left feeling, but in a good way. The main seating area is small but pretty packed with tables so I'd suggest reservations just in case. Also parking is street parking, but lucked out with someone leaving - phew. We split the Caesar salad, because the portion is well enough for two, and dressing was so good! For my entree I ordered the King Mushroom Pappardelle. It may have been the best pasta dish I've ever had. If you like mushrooms you'll love that dish. The ambiance isn't a very rushed experience, which works out to digest all of those delicious carbs. Overall, a really great Italian spot- definitely will go back to try the truffle ravioli.

    Gluten free options?

    Not sure about gluten free. The food that has gluten is NOT WORTH YOUR EFFORT. So cannot imagine how the possible gluten free options would be. If it wasn't for a decent appetizer they would not have received a C minus grade from my recent visit… 

    Is there a dress code?

    No dress code, but I would say it's a nicer restaurant.

    Loving the food?

    Best meal I have had in a long time.

    Does Trevi have gluten free pasta?

    Yes, we have gluten free gnocchi, but it has to be ordered with minimum of two days in advance.

The wine cooler is no more (granted it hasn't cooled properly in quite awhile). One of the best parts of Antonio's downstairs was being able to grab a bottle of reasonably priced wine with the $5 cork fee but the Prosecco we've enjoyed for years has increased over $5 a bottle plus that cork fee... not the deal we've had in the past. They did add a happy hour downstairs... that ends at 5pm. Catering to retirees maybe? The restaurant space is more open due to the downsizing of the market. The service is not the same though most of the staff seems happy to be there. I know things can't stay the same forever but super bummed about this one. I guess I should just be grateful for the years we had with the original.

Today, though, I noticed them selling Japanese Wagyu as: Sake Infused Dry Aged A9 Kobe Strip. This is a very scammy way of selling a product. First, meat is graded broadly on three scales - USDA (choice, prime), BMS (beef marbling scale - common in Aus), and the Japanese grading scale. (A1-A5, with most high end steaks being A4 or the gold standard, A5). https://meatnbone.com/blogs/the-clever-cleaver/meat-beef-grading-system-understanding A9 doesn't exist. A BMS 9 could be an A5. But this is mislabeled. They have also used the term A11 in their instagram account. Maybe they are confusing BMS for A-scale, or maybe they are intentionally trying to make their product seem better than competitors. Furthermore, not all Japanese Wagyu is Kobe beef. Kobe beef refers to Tajima cattle raised in Hyogo Japan. The export of this beef is highly regulated to only certain restaurants and purveyors, who will display a seal and certificate certifying the origin of the beef. It is rare, expensive, and most importantly, Bush Brothers (Local Butcher's wholesale purveyor) is not certified to sell, nor do they use in any way, the term Kobe Beef. So it is incredibly likely that this product is mislabeled. This isn't illegal (Kobe beef doesn't have a TM in the US), but it is disingenuous. https://www.kobe-niku.jp/en/contents/certification/index.html https://instagram.com/bushbros Next, "sake infused"is incredibly confusing. Is it referring to the myth that Kobe cattle are massaged with sake? Is it referred to the use of koji (fermented cooked rice) which is often used as an aging accelerant? Or did they really take Japanese Wagyu and infuse (inject, soak?) with sake? And why on earth would you do that!? It would be like making sangria with a bottle of DRC. This product is likely a A5 strip loin (which Bush Bros. does carry) that has been aged. Market price would be somewhere around $175-185/lb. (An unaged cut would be around $150/lb.) When I asked for more information on the most expensive cut of meat in their shop, I was treated with disdain and a dismissive attitude. Neither member of the staff could answer my questions other than to say "It's the highest grade of Kobe beef." To charge $215 dollars for a grade that doesn't exist, for a steak that isn't from Kobe, with an aging method that seems dubious at best, is disingenuous and plays on a lack of consumer knowledge. If The Local Butcher themselves don't know the differences here, they shouldn't sell this product. If they do, they should be ashamed of themselves.

    Supporting local businesses should be a law, as this gourmet market chain known for meats, also…read moreoffering seafood, produce, groceries and prepared foods clearly has it all. While strolling the streets of Winter Park, we stopped in and looked at all the goods from meats to prepared foods. With a large selection of aged beef, it cannot be missed. There are two restaurants inside that are Swines and Sons as well as a poké bowl booth. There is also always an employee around to help. With that being said, customer service here is top notch, as they are super helpful with every question you could ever ask. Some renovation has been done, in other words, remodeling and having seating and more restaurant food brings everything together.
