What diners say — our read

One subject runs through these 19 reviews more than any other: the staff. Where front-of-house comes up, the rating that follows averages 4.7, so it reads as a strength.

Of the 19 rated reviews, 18 sit at four stars or better and 0 at two or below. The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (17 of 19). No one in this corpus comments on how much food arrives at all.

The inspection lands in between as well: DBPR graded this kitchen a B (82/100), citing 1 intermediate violations. The visit behind that grade was September 11, 2025. Its inspection trajectory is downward over the records we hold. That puts it ahead of 23% of graded kitchens in Orange County. For specifics, the last inspection cited food manager certification.

With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. The reviews themselves follow, unedited and newest first.

    Came in on a Saturday (with a reservation) and was seated right away. Service was quick, and we ordered the meatball appetizer. It came out quick and delicious. I ordered the Mustard Spaghettini, which was really good. My mom ordered the gnocchi, which was really good too. Everyone else ordered pizza and said they were good. Since we were visiting, it is definitely a place I would come back to again when in the area. I love the shopping area, so this was a nice lunch treat after walking around in the heat.

    We had the best server today. Not our first time visiting-probably our 5th or 6th time. Always great food and good service but today was exceptional service. We tried the octopus first time at this particular restaurant and it was well cooked and tasty. Always enjoy their salads and pizza. Solid choices.

    Emma was really kind, the restaurant is 10/10

    Very busy but great place for dinner and cocktails.

    Everything we ordered was superb!

    Muy buena comida la pasta sobretodo, excelente ambientación y muy buena atención. un detalle negativo fue que el día de los padres no hicieron ninguna atención. un simple cafe creo ubiera echo la diferencia .. The food was very good—especially the pasta—and the atmosphere and service were excellent. One downside was that they didn't offer any special gesture for Father's Day; I think even a simple coffee would have made a difference.

    Un lugar rico para comer con un ambiente muy cálido.

    A WP Staple for a while now, amazing. Although at one point, you had an off-menu Pastrami Sandwich that was Michelin 🌟 Gourmand good. Can you please bring it back? ❤️

    Great!

    Great experience! We had Alexandra as our waiter and service was impeccable! Great food, great vibes, and great staff! Love this place and definitely recommend.

    I had an amazing experience at Prato in Winter Park, and Alexandra made it even better. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out perfectly. Her service felt genuine and welcoming, which really added to the whole dining experience. The food and atmosphere were already great, but Alexandra’s kindness and professionalism stood out the most. Definitely recommend asking for her if you visit!

  • June 19, 2026

    Alexandra was absolutely amazing! She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our entire meal. Her positive attitude and attention to detail made our experience so enjoyable. She was knowledgeable about the menu, gave great recommendations, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. It’s rare to find service this good, and she truly went above and beyond. We will definitely be back because of her!

    Alexandra was my server at this beautiful restaurant. I really loved how she was so knowledgeable about the food we were eating and how such a light of energy she was. I loved this place and I definitely will be coming back!

    I had the pleasure of going to Prato for the first time since moving to Orlando from Miami a couple years ago. The atmosphere along with the 5 star service from Emma created the perfect vibe for the night. The food could have been better but thanks to the front of house, the night was saved with hospitality. I’ll be coming back for round 2 soon.

    Celebrated my birthday and anniversary here! Beautiful place. Rafael O was taking care of us and provided such a splendid service. Highly recommend clam pasta - absolutely delicious!!! Special shout out to drinks I loved the way they combine the ingredients together - Godfather and Espresso Martini were 11/10!!!!!

    Service was great , we sat at the bar. The ladies were all super attentive. Food was definitely disappointing. First the Caesar salad had to much Parmesan cheese , it over powered the salad and it hurt my stomach ( don’t have an intolerance to diary) but to much is just too much. The was decent , very thin but ok. The mustard Speghettii was again to overpowering for me. Calamari - great! Not enough vegetarian options. Drinks - were great! Margaritas! Yum! No tvs - very blah atmosphere. Would I return , maybe for the drinks.

    It had been a while since I went to Prato, and fortunately the food keeps being good. The mustard spaghettini matched with the prato meatballs is yummy.

    Without a doubt, my girlfriend and myself will definitely be returning here. If you’re in the Winter Park area and you’re looking for upscale/sexy Italian, this is it. It was really easy to make a reservation with Rossi, and it took no time at all to get seated. With both outdoor, high top, and table seating, there’s room for everything. The bar was absolutely packed, but Looked comfortable for Grabbing a drink. We sat at a nice high top table, and our server promptly came over to us. It wasn’t long before we had an appetizer and entrées, and everything was so, so good. By far, my absolute favorite in Orlando for Italian. Highly recommend the Burrata And mustard spaghetti. I can’t wait to go back and try more menu items. Such a nice place, amazing food and incredible wait staff.
