Had a wonderful evening at Prati Italia. Was first visit and will be back. Staff was very attentive and genuinely seemed happy, which makes for a great experience! Restaurant was not too loud and could easily have a conversation. Staff brought us some bread and butter - Love homemade fresh bread! We ordered a homemade craft soda, it was orange flavor but reminded me of a creamsicle. Very good, but not overly sweet - which is perfect! Ordered the Godfather Pizza and it did not disappoint. Crispy edges with soft, fresh deep dish dough. It was so delicious! Best Pizza in Jax, hands down! To close the evening or we tried the Tiramisu for a shared dessert. It was absolutely divine, creamy and not too strong of a coffee flavor. This is definitely a place we'll visit again and try more delicious food. Give it a try - you'll be glad you did!! read more

Astonishingly bad. The Alfredo sauce I swear is from a jar, watery and just all around awful. The pasta stuck together and was chewy. I even tried my friend's Lugo and he said it tasted like hamburger helper! To top it off the meatballs are clearly frozen premade from a bag. The only redeemable dish is the pizza. The godfather pizza was great with crispy edges and full of flavor. Please just stick to pizza! Pleaaaaassssseeeee The food photographs well but oof I couldn't even eat my dish. read more

We had a little bit of a wait because our server didn't realize we were in his section aside from that and them being out of their seasonal homemade soda everything was perfect. Our server checked on us constantly throughout the night and was super attentive. We chose Prati because they are wonderful with dietary restrictions and always safe for my celiac friend to eat at! We sat facing the kitchen and it was great watching how efficiently it was run. read more

Came here for dinner on a Monday and was seated right away at a large booth. Ordered The Sugo and my friend ordered the three cheese ravioli. Wow, both dishes were so good! I ordered the half portion and I still had leftovers! Very good ingredients and pastas are deliciously made. Great service. Pretty quiet so you can talk comfortably. read more

I came here with some friends on a Saturday mid afternoon. It was clearly a slow period with not a lot of patrons so it took awhile for our waitress to come get our orders in. I got the mirrorball cocktail and the lunch special which consisted of spaghetti and meatballs with a Caesar salad. The mirrorball and Caesar salad were good. The spaghetti with meatballs was just okay, I ended up taking half in a box for leftovers. The menu seems limited, but it seems like they update it every so often with something different. This place was just okay, there are other Italian restaurants I prefer going to. read more

Food was so good here! All our meals were 5 stars. The Brussel sprouts were so good! We ordered great beer selection for $5 each at happy hour! Plus taking a lot of food home. We got a table right by the kitchen it was great! The place is real nice inside and outside. My only small complaint was at the end a bunch of small black bugs were flying around. This is one of the better places to eat Italian in Jacksonville! Waitress was very good! read more

Kayla took excellent care of us at the bar. We arrived early for happy hour and enjoyed a near empty bar! They don't open until 4:30pm and we were there before 5pm. I wanted to see if any of the happy hour bar bites peaked my interest- and yes they did, until I found out my cursed allergy prevented me from enjoying most of the options. We ordered cocktails and the cheesy garlic bread. I cannot have their marinara sauce- that takes out a lot at an Italian restaurant. I did have my eye on the short rib, it came highly recommended. 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. John got The Godfather pizza, I went for that short rib. John's take- best pizza he has ever eaten! Whoa- that's huge. He's currently eating his leftovers. 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! Ooohh- management, you need more bourbon cocktails on the seasonal menu! I just missed the bacon bourbon cocktail- but the new one had none. read more

The perfect birthday dinner spot! This is my favorite place to get crispy Brussels sprouts. Everything is always delicious, and the atmosphere is unbeatable. It can get a bit busy, but the amazing food and ambiance make it worth it. The staff is always incredibly sweet and truly makes you feel cared for. 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! read more

Never again for the breakfast lasagna. Never. All noodle and cheese. It was awful. I'll never be back. Such a waste of money. The service was fine. The ambiance was nice casual. There was even burnt lasagna noodles in it. Such a waste of money. I wouldn't waste my time. Nothing special at all. So disappointed in the lasagna. So disappointed. Soooo I spoke up and Kayla took care of the lasagna. I really didn't mean for the meal to be compted because I ate the noodles. Kayla was a very good server. And I really appreciated it. read more

The restaurant was very beautiful. I love the lighting and the ambience. I love the open kitchen where you can see the chef's preparing the food. The server was very nice and knowledgeable. I ordered a peach martini which came very quickly and it was pretty good. I will say it was nice and stiff. Lol I also ordered the short rib dish and a side of brussels sprouts. Now as far as the food I was a little bit surprised being that it was such a nice place and it was so beautiful but honestly the flavor was a little bit bland on the short rib dish. The brussels sprouts were great. I will say that I got there at 8:30 not realizing they close at nine so it could be that I got there kind of late so I may give them another chance if I have a friend that wants to go there. I will say it's worth trying because it is a very nice restaurant it could be just my taste buds for this dish. read more

It had been awhile since I had been to Prati Italia but I am glad we came back. We started off that the bar for Happy Hour which they do daily from 4:30PM to 6:30PM which is great since more places on do during the week. They have a number of drink specials from wine to beer as well as cocktails. I went with the Margarita for $8 which isn't bad. I also liked that it was nice an tart. For Happy Hour food we got a medium cheese pizza ($10) and added sausage for $3. The pizza was very good and great to sharing. It is similar to a Detroit Style Pizza and had crispy cheese on the corners which we loved. Could have maybe used a little more sauce but we still very much enjoyed it. Would for sure get another pizza again and there are my options to try. We then went to the dining room for our main course. Having already studied the menu I knew what I was going to get for my entree. I went with the Chicken Parmesan which comes with Fettuccine Alfredo. Once ordered our food came out pretty quickly. I love had they pair the Chicken Parmesan with the Fettuccine Alfredo because the Marinara and the Alfredo pair perfectly together. For sure prefer it over a Marinara based pasta sauce. The Fettuccine was fresh and cooked perfectly and the Alfredo was very flavorful. The Chicken Parmesan was a nice large piece with plenty of sauce and the 3 cheese blend was very good too. The chicken was maybe just a bit overcooked but still very good. Not super dry like some I have had before. Was very happy we came back to Prati to give them another try. Will for sure be back again. read more

I've always loved coming here and would recommend it to others for the great service and atmosphere! However, this visit was a bit different. Other tables seemed to get more attention, and our service wasn't as attentive as I've experienced before. Our server briefly checked in after we got our food, but the last time I didn't really hear her, so I wasn't able to respond before she walked away rather quickly. We asked for more sauce for the fries but never got it and didn't get a chance to ask again. We also waited a bit for our check. The food was mostly good! The tomato basil soup was disappointing, it tasted like tomato sauce you get from a can, 2/10. The truffle fries are my absolute favorite, 10/10! The chicken parm was also delicious, 10/10! I expected the soda drink to be sweet since it was vanilla and berry, but it wasn't, it was rather sour and not fruity, 4/10. Overall, it was an okay visit, especially compared to the other times I have been, but I'll still likely return for the fries and chicken parm. read more

This is hands down my favorite restaurant in Jacksonville. The food is absolutely to die for, and they make the best espresso martini I've had anywhere in Jacksonville. Pro tip: order it with Baileys! The staff is always incredibly friendly and welcoming, which is one of the many reasons I find myself here at least once a week. I usually sit at the bar but also have had great experience with the waitresses/waiters. My go-to appetizers are the cheese curds and garlic bread, both are amazing. My husband's favorite is the pizza (also to die for), and I can't recommend the chicken parmesan enough. I've also had the mac and cheese side, which is a 10/10, and the short rib is another standout dish that's absolutely worth ordering. I've honestly never had a bad meal here. My only request would be to bring the cheese curds back to the regular menu because it is my #1 favorite food of all time. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food, amazing drinks, and friendly service. read more

This was our second visit to Prati Italia, and I have mixed feelings. Our first experience was excellent. We went for brunch and had the sugo pasta and steak & eggs. Both dishes were flavorful, well prepared, and generously portioned. However, our most recent visit on Father's Day wasn't quite as impressive. My husband ordered the pork chop special and said it was good, though he wasn't a fan of the sweet sauce that accompanied it. I had the shrimp and grits, which tasted fine, but the portion was surprisingly small. I easily could've eaten a second plate. Even my friend, who usually doesn't eat much, commented on how small the serving was. Overall, Prati Italia still offers great food, quick service, and a beautiful setting both inside and out. I just wish the portion size of my dish had matched the quality. read more

I stopped in tonight for a quick bite and drink. I've visited for Happy Hour decal times but I don't always update review after each visit at restaurants I frequent. I arrived about 30 minutes before happy hour ended and sat at the bar. Tonight was pretty slow overall but service was still on point. I started with a dark n stormy, ordered a cheese pizza add meatballs and ordered a beer when the pizza came out. I didn't enjoy this beer as I did at the recent Elite event but I still drank it. I try beers from time to time just to see if my palate has changed. It hasn't. I'll give it a rest now the atmosphere is always laid back and relaxing with dim lights and minimal noise. read more

Love the godfathers pizza my favorite and the ceaser salad is so fresh and good as well

Stopped in for girls night and had such a great time, I only got a pic of the truffle fries (which were delicious btw). We got a range of different dishes ranging from pizza to a grilled chicken Caesar salad and pasta. Everything was delicious! I wish I remembered our servers name bc he was so sweet and helpful. Beautiful restaurant and perfect spot for a night out with friends. Full bar and great drink options. Fun to have a view into the kitchen too. read more

Was staying at a nearby hotel and needed to get dinner. Someone had recommended this spot so we dined without a reservation. Upon arrival, I appreciated the aesthetic on the inside. For starters we ordered the Brussels sprouts--in my opinion, could've been sweeter and maybe with some other type of cheese except blue. I didn't have a huge appetite so I ended up eating the chef's soup of the day which was Zuppa Toscana. It was way too salty for my liking, couldn't even finish the whole portion. My partner ordered a pizza and was quite disappointed as well. Due to the disappointments, we opted with not order dessert. The food didn't meet my expectations and I don't think I'd return. read more

Reviewing the menu and noticed they had handmade sodas! I tried the seasonal soda that had peach, lemon and black tea and the flavor combo was great. I also tried the Wendy Peffercorn soda that has strawberry, peppercorn, and basil! This was took me by surprise because the flavors combined were soooo good! For my dinner I ordered the small portion of the three-cheese ravioli and crispy Brussels sprouts. Both were flavorful but the ravioli was more cooked than I liked, I love an al dente pasta! The Brussels were perfect! The flavor was there and they were cooked perfectly. We were seated in there upstairs patio area and our waiter Dom was great for the party size! read more

I went there for a work rated dinner for a party of about 15 people. We had a private room for the function and my colleagues allowed me to photograph their dishes in addition to what I ordered Everyone seemed pleased with their orders. My only issue was my scalloped seemed a bit firmer/ overcooked compared to what I usually eat. The main courses took some time to come out but I'm not sure if it was because of the size of our party. There is also a full bar with a wide selection of drinks. The desserts were rich and shareable. They unfortunately ran out of tiramisu by 7:30pm Parking is easy and free plaza self parking in a huge lot in front of the restaurant. read more

Went to the grinch Sunday brunch. Menu inventive food looked great and such a cute concept. Mr and Mrs grinch were top quality too. Like they had planned stuff had gift and cute things like maxs poop bags for the kids with tootsie rolls in them. Love it!! The food seemed luckewarm at best but most was tasty even though lacking in temp. Cookies really were underbaked raw in center but food was good and inventive for the theme. read more

Absolutely delicious! Don't believe the negative reviews - we had an excellent experience! We are staying at a nearby hotel and wanted a delicious gluten free Italian dinner and Prati Italia did not disappoint! Everything we ordered was amazing - the power bowl salad, garlic bread, chicken parm, pasta & meatballs, mac and cheese. Everything was perfection! And we are super picky! My husband is Italian too so our taste buds are certainly aware of what good Italian is. This was it! If we loved local we would come back again and again! read more

Review is for their event space. I recently held my rehearsal dinner at Prati. We rented out the space on the second floor- it's a covered patio. Space is considered outdoors but well protected from sunshine and rain. We were actually concerned about it being too cold and they were able to provide heaters which kept us toasty. We had 25+ people attend. I worked with Caitlyn to get all the details sorted out. She was responsive and left no questions unanswered. Night of we had Toli and Heather serving us. Kudos to them as they were on top of their game. Drinks were always filled, questions were answered and service was top notch! I pre-selected the food through a catering menu. OMG everything was so delicious. All of our guests raved about the food and we had so much left over. It was wild. Highly recommend their raviolis, side of spinach, chicken Parmesan, all of their pizzas, and their salted caramel popcorn ice cream. Yes popcorn on ice cream! We couldn't be happier after choosing Prati for our special night. I highly recommend this to future couples. I am hoping to host another event there in the future! No pictures because we just enjoyed the night! read more

Prati is one of our favorite local spots in the Town Center area. We used to go frequently when we lived next door, but still find ourselves back on the patio often. The menu is great, I always love what I order. Drinks are excellent - they have a great happy hour! read more

This restaurant gets an automatic three stars alone for having Monkey 47 Gin at the bar! They provided the best Negronis I've ever had at a restaurant. The service both at the bar and in the dining room was good. The best part of the food was the side of brussels sprouts. The rest of the food was very unmemorable and overpriced. If I could give this place 3.5 stars I would. Overall, I would return for the bar and maybe some appetizers/sides. read more

First time going to Prati and we decided to try their happy hour which M-F, 4:30-6:30pm. The service was fast even though they were busy. The food was so good. We ordered different kinds of drinks and their bar bites menu. It's hard to pick a favorite because everything was delicious. The pizza was huge and I like the dough even though it was thick crust. The Crispy Brussel Sprouts were really yummy too. My husband liked the Cheese Pimiento and the Suppli. For the drinks my favorite was the Gimlet. The location at the Town Center area is nice and the restaurant was very spacious with a nice outdoor seating. I will come back for sure and excited to try their lunch/dinner menu. read more

I would've never came to this place if it wasn't for word of mouth because it's tucked away in the corner of the town center. We came here right at 1 o'clock on a Saturday and it was surprisingly not very busy! Only a few tables were full. The decor is very modern and nice inside. Would be great for both a nice casual meal or a date night. We ordered the caprese pizza and truffle fries to split. The pizza was absolutely outstanding. Super fresh tasting and the crust was amazing. Think the fanciest Detroit style pizza you could have. The truffle fries were okay. They had a good amount of Parmesan and truffle oil, but they were very over salted and I believe they were previously from a bag and frozen. If I'm paying $12 for a plate of fries, I expect them to be homemade at a place like this. Overall, I'll definitely be back for their pizza but will likely skip the fries next time and try something else instead. read more

I wrapped up 2024 with a wonderful family meal at a local favorite, @pratiitaliajax. They consistently excel in food, service, and drinks--I've never had a bad experience there. We always start with the Truffle-Parmesan Fries and the Crispy Cheese Curds. The fries are perfectly seasoned and come out crispy every time. And who can resist perfectly delicious fried cheese? Despite dining there many times, I had never tried their signature pizzas until now. I opted for "The Quinn," which is topped with locally roasted mushrooms, garlic cream, mozzarella, Fontina, truffle oil, and chives. The whole combination of all the different flavors worked so damn well. The mushrooms are the star of this pizza! Finally, it was dessert time. We tried the Tiramisu and the Nutella Brownie à la Mode. The brownie was served with crunchy caramel corn, a salted caramel drizzle, and a scoop of caramel gelato. It was my favorite. The tiramisu was delicious and very light, with a great espresso flavor. Thanks to the staff at @pratiitaliajax for helping us end the year with full & happy stomachs. On to 2025! read more

My wife and I enjoyed our first visit to this place. We ordered the gnocchi to share, since we weren't too hungry and noticed that many of the plates going around were quite large. Surprisingly, the dish we got wasn't very big at all. They actually offer a smaller size (half portion), but even the regular one seemed more like a single-person serving--not really enough if you were hoping for leftovers. We paid $28 for the gnocchi and, to be honest, didn't feel it was worth it. The taste was good, but not amazing. It had a lot of pancetta, which made it a bit too salty and overpowered the gnocchi itself. We'll probably come back to give their pizza a try, since it looked like a good size for sharing if you don't feel like ordering a full entrée. Let's see how it goes next time. read more

Came here for my daughter's birthday dinner and the vibes were on point. Our party had about 22 people but they accommodated us well. My daughter surprisingly chose Italian and Prati delivered in every aspect. We started out with several appetizers and everything was made well. The star of the show were the cheese curds and brussel sprouts. My father raved about his Filet Mignon and my mother could barely save any of her lasagna to take home lol. The salmon also made an appearance on the top of the list. This party was for a 17 year old and they literally ordered about 14 pizzas and a side of fries as you would expect kids to do. They all said the pizzas were huge and tasted so good. The waitress did well making sure all orders were accurately made, fresh and that our large party was taken care of. Overall, this was a great experience and we're so happy we chose to have the dinner here. I would go back with no hesitation. I needed a mai tai after all the chaos but we came, we saw, we conquered. read more

Wonder happy hour! We stop by to meet some friends last night for dinner and drinks. I've been to this restaurant before several years ago when it first switched names and menu. That time I thought the food was okay, but there's so much Italian food in my area that I never felt the need to go back. My friends and I were looking for a spot to meet that was convenient for all of us and had a good happy hour menu so this is where we landed. I was so glad I gave this place another chance because I definitely liked it more this time. They have a list of $5 happy hour snacks and $10 happy hour snacks. Most of the snacks are very big and easily shareable making them a great deal for a group to share. To share for happy hour we ordered a bottle of wine and a pizza. Then for dinner, I ordered a small Caesar salad and the small serving of the ravioli. I could not finish my ravioli because the "small" serving was still huge. But both were very good and I would definitely order it them again. read more

Prati Italia is one of those places that immediately feels welcoming and stylish. The house‑made pastas are consistently excellent, especially the rich short rib lasagna. Their wood‑fired pizzas have that perfect balance of chew and crisp. Cocktails are thoughtful and pair well with the menu. Service is warm, attentive, and never rushed. Prices feel fair for the quality and portions. Overall, it's an easy choice when you want a reliably great Italian meal in Jacksonville. read more

The service was good overall. We had reservations and were seated right away, which was great. We were served gluten-free bread--yum! For an appetizer, we ordered the meat and cheese platter, which I highly recommend. It's a delicious treat you don't want to miss! Why only 3 stars???..... However, things went downhill with my main course. The gluten-eater in our group ordered the filet, and it looked fantastic. I ordered gluten-free shrimp scampi- but when my dish arrived, it clearly wasn't gluten free. Thankfully, I caught the issue, asked my questions, and sent it back. The waitress apologized, and I don't believe it was her fault as she had clearly repeated my gluten-free order. They remade my dish, but unfortunately, the wait felt like forever. By the time my meal arrived, my friend had already finished theirs. Was my food good? Yes, it was hot, and thankfully, gluten-free the second time around. However, the experience would have been much better if the manager had come over to apologize. Mistakes happen--I understand that--but when one person's meal is served long after everyone else is finished, it's disappointing and takes away from the overall enjoyment. I wasn't looking for anything free, but I did expect our meals to arrive at the same time. While we're likely to return, it will probably be after a long break. Our last visit was a year and a half ago due to similar issues with service and food quality. Here's hoping for better consistency next time! read more

This was by far one of THE BEST restaurant experiences I've had in Jacksonville. This restaurant just feels different from the moment you enter. They have an open kitchen concept & the seating allows for more privacy during dining which I LOVE. The service we received while dining was unlike no other. Our waiter took very good care of us and made all of the right suggestions when it came to ordering! The food was some of the most delicious Italian food I've ever tried in my life. I felt wrong not ordering pasta as a main dish, but I was absolutely blown away by the short rib! A MUST TRY! They also had affogato as a dessert option so we obviously had to try that alongside the tiramisu - make sure you save room for dessert!!!! read more

Me and family went to Prato Italia with a large group to celebrate a birthday and honestly, it was a rough experience. Our waitress said she could handle our table, but clearly couldn't, and it felt like she wasn't really trying, especially since she mentioned she had already put in her two weeks. The restaurant seemed more focused on a party upstairs and pretty much ignored everyone downstairs. We waited almost two hours for food, and some people in our group left before their meals even came out. When the food finally arrived, it was hit or miss. The pizza was good, but everything else was just okay. They also charged us for extra bread while we were waiting, gave some guests plastic utensils, and wouldn't split the checks at the end, which made things even more frustrating. Overall, just really slow service and not a great experience. Definitely not a place I'd recommend or go back to. read more

Great Happy Hour spot! We will come back to review the menu but we thoroughly enjoyed the Happy Hour menu on a Friday! They offer it from 4:30 to 6:30 pm and offer good options from drinks to happy hour bites. Our favorites included the Aperol Spritz and the Ginlet. As far as their bites, we enjoyed the crispy brussell sprouts, pizza and pimiento cheese. The bar area was spacious and the servers were great! Overall, a nice experience! read more
