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. read more

We had a good overall experience. We started with the meatballs as an appetizer. The meatballs themselves were just okay nothing particularly memorable but the sauce they were served in was excellent and definitely the highlight of the dish. For our entrées, we ordered the smoked duck breast and the beef Wellington. The smoked duck breast was really good and cooked well. The pasta that came with it had a unique sauce that just wasn't to our taste, but the duck itself was excellent. The beef Wellington was also very good and lived up to expectations. To finish, we split the cannoli for dessert, and it was outstanding. It was the perfect way to end the meal. Overall, a solid meal with a few standout dishes. We'd definitely order the duck, beef Wellington, and cannoli again. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

With family, went for a try. Designed to be excellent and food was fantastic. A very small place, but it is a worthwhile visit. It was good enough in order to go back the following week to show and share with friends to celebrate our 46 years of our wedding anniversary. read more

FANTASTIC PLACE- Turci Pasta is one of a kind. 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. read more

Fabulous and Authentic Italian Restaurant, really recommend this local spot for a date and/or any other romantic festivity, love love the food and the wine list, Service could improve a notch but fairly great.

Turci Pasta - Sensational Sea Bass... - Italian Near Me - Orlando, Florida

My friend and I went to turci pasta for her birthday and we had a great experience. The place was super cute and had a great atmosphere. Our waiter was incredible and attentive. The best bite was the black truffle ravioli. It was fresh and the flavor was great. Everything else I was not impressed with. There was a lot of hype around the dishes here and I just wasn't a fan. The green cappalleci pasta was good but the sauce missed the mark. The sweet potato gnocchi was also underwhelming. I would come back because of the atmosphere, service, and plethora of good reviews. read more

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. read more

I'd give 3.5 if I could. I've now visited twice, so I wanted to combine both experiences into one review. First Visit: Overall, a great experience. They were running a special that allowed us to try several menu items, and most of them were fantastic. The burrata and pasta dishes were standouts. I especially loved the truffle ravioli, purple gnocchi, and lasagna. The mushroom pasta was just okay for me--the pasta itself was thicker than I prefer and a bit too al dente. The desserts were incredible. We tried both the tiramisu and the limoncello cake, and they were easily some of the highlights of the meal. My only complaint from that visit was the coffee service. I was charged extra to make my coffee decaf, which surprised me, and when I asked for cream, I was told they only had steamed milk--which was also an upcharge. It felt like a lot of added cost and complication just to get a simple decaf coffee with cream and sugar, something that's typically included at most restaurants. Second Visit: After a hot day by the pool, I ordered their lemon drink, and it was absolutely delicious--refreshing enough that I'm already trying to figure out how to recreate it for an upcoming bachelorette weekend. I ordered the purple gnocchi again, and it was just as excellent as I remembered. My husband had the lamb, and I ordered the Beef Wellington. The lamb was delicious, though some of the pasta served alongside it was undercooked in a few bites. The Beef Wellington was the biggest disappointment of the evening. The filet itself was cooked perfectly, but the pastry lacked the rich flavor and depth that make a classic Wellington so memorable. We were seated in the back hallway section of the restaurant, which could use a little attention aesthetically. Some updated decor, wallpaper, artwork, or softer window treatments would go a long way. The rest of the restaurant has a lovely ambiance, but this area felt overlooked. Combined with a server who wasn't particularly attentive and the physical distance from the main dining area, it made the experience feel less special than you'd hope for during an expensive date night. We also ordered the same dessert we'd had on our first visit and noticed the portion size was significantly smaller. Lastly, I ordered a Caesar salad and was surprised to find what tasted like bottled dressing and boxed croutons. At a restaurant that clearly puts care into making its own pasta, those details stood out in a disappointing way. Orlando has no shortage of excellent Italian restaurants, and it's often the small touches that separate a good meal from a truly memorable one. Overall, there is a lot to like here. Some dishes are genuinely outstanding, and there are menu items I'd happily return for. But when you're spending hundreds of dollars on a meal, consistency matters--from the ingredients and preparation to the atmosphere and service. Luxury is often found in the details, and tightening up those details would elevate the experience considerably. read more

You can only book through OpenTable, and the team was very quick to respond to all of our requests there. They didn't have the highchair at the table when we arrived, but they brought one out immediately, so it wasn't an issue. Our server was friendly, kind, and very knowledgeable. The food was fresh with deep, delicious flavor, and the pasta is made in-house. The creative menu at Turci features delicious, fresh pasta alongside a variety of European dishes you don't often come across in Winter Park. Finding this place was a real treat. The restaurant itself is quiet, discreet, and elegantly designed, offering a romantic atmosphere. You can also tell they're in a period of growth, and it seems the panini shop next door has now become an additional indoor seating area, which is a nice touch. We would definitely eat here again and recommend this place to anyone plus looking forward to bringing friends if they come to visit . read more

Great experience overall. Had a date here and it's the perfect spot for it. Quiet but very cute. Bread was a bit hard but good. I got the duck breast and it was the perfect amount of crispy. Our server was great too very knowledgeable about the menu. Will come back read more

This place was definitely worth 5 stars for their delicious food! Is it a little pricey, yes, but luckily we went during Magical Dining. Some of their items are worth the price, like the Black Truffle Ravioli Side. The bruschetta is very good, but feel like that is a little overpriced. My fellow Yelp Elite friend and I decided to get different items to try out. The Purple Sweet Potato Stuffed Gnocchi was at the top of our list after seeing pictures of these beautiful & delicious bites filled with mozzarella cheese and that 3 cheese sauce! Yum! The fresh fettuccine was probably one of the best I had! I just wish they offered grilled chicken on it. I ordered the breaded chicken on the side for some protein. The Nutella Cheesecake and Crunch Praline Vanilla Gelato were sooooo amazingly good! Don't skip dessert! The service was top notch and the place is beautiful. Perfect for a small family gathering, group of friends, date night, celebration, or just because! Just go! read more

I came here for magical dining because I've been hearing rave reviews from so many people so I decided to try it. The hype was so deserving. Having lived in Italy, I'm always looking for good pasta, but usually end up disappointed. This place did not disappoint. Their pasta, you can tell, is made fresh everyday. If the window into their kitchen where you can literally see them making pasta didn't convince you, you can taste the difference yourself. L I got the truffle ravioli, the Pappardelle Arrabbiata, and the Limoncello cake. All we're absolutely delicious. I will say, the Arrabbiata is spicy, and I love spicy, but this was even spicy for me, so beware. The Limoncello cake was so light and fluffy. I did expect it to be a little more tart, but I understand that tart isn't for everyone. The service was great as well, they were very knowledgeable and attentive. The ambiance was ok but the pasta is amazing, you won't really care about the decor. The only thing that I wish they had on their menu (because I can't find a good one in Florida) is Carbonara. Overall very delicious meal, highly recommend, and will go back. read more

Pretty disappointing Went there on a Friday evening. I couldnt find a place to park so I parked in the Good Pour parking lot, bought a bottle of wine and took to the restaurant. They wanted to charge me a $30 corkage fee. Apparently I wasn't the first one that did this. Prices for wine was very overpriced. In fact, prices for much was very high. One compliment. Home made pasta and very good bread Asked for marinara to dip the bread in, received a tomato sauce w some other stuff in it. How does an Italian restaurant not have Marinara sauce As an Italian there are 3 things I typically try at an Italian restaurant to test authenticity 1. Chicken/Veal Francese (or Picatta}... They didn't have 2. Pasta w Marinara... They didn't have 3. Pasta Ai Oglio. .. my order and it wasn't very good. How do you literally get Pasta with Oil and Garlic wrong? Definitely a pass read more

The best Italian food in Orlando, hands down. I remember when they were a low-key spot named Trevi Pasta and have been able to see them grow into the icon they are today. All their pastas are made fresh and you can each them being made in the pasta window. It was hypnotic watching the chef work. I've tried so many things here that it's hard to highlight what I've loved the most! They have a 3-Course Pre-Fixe Menu where you can choose an appetizer, entree, and dessert that's a really great deal! We love getting it on date nights; but for night where we don't have a large appetite, I love getting the Squid Ink Shrimp and my husband swears by the Spaghetti with Arrabbiatta and Meatballs (a classic combo) because of how amazing they spicy sauce is. We also never skip on the Tiramisu. It's consistently the best tiramisu in Orlando and I love that it's served with a shot of espresso for you to pour over the dessert. Bravo to the chef. Service here was also amazing. From the hostess I called to adjust my reservation to the servers taking care of us, everyone is so friendly and helpful. They were very good at replacing our water bottles and keeping everyone happy. If you're in College Park, I cannot recommend this place enough. Pro-Tip: If you want to book for a large party, make the max reservation allowed online and then call in to adjust the headcount. Make sure all your guests arrive because they charge a fee per missing person. read more

I've been to Turci pasta a couple times and it's always an excellent meal. From the fresh bread to the homemade pasta and sauces, I have enjoyed coming back and bringing first timers to experience it. This was the first time I was seated in the Turci Panino location, attached to Turci Pasta. You get to enjoy the same menu but the ambiance isn't quite the same. Due to the location, parking can also be tricky. I would definitely return again and recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great Italian restaurant. read more

Turci Pasta - Lasagna - Italian Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Came for Christmas dinner, left with a belly full of delicious food and such a great experience. Everything is made fresh. The best part about Turci Pasta is that you don't end up leaving feeling exhausted from processed ingredients. I ordered the Tagliatelle Bolognese and it was so delicious and light if you can believe pasta can be "light." Was not doused in salt but fresh tomatoes and meat and I enjoyed it immensely. Also ordered the Burrata and Caprese Salad...twice haha! My husband ordered the fettuccine Alfredo and said it had tons of flavors and my 6 year old devoured his portion! My mother in law order the squid ink shrimp and it was amazing as well. Favorite part though was my AFFOGATO! Was to die for incredible. Overall, fantastic service and great experience. Will be back. read more

Turci Pasta - Italian Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Arrived and it was fairly busy with only one server at the time so we were patient with slow service throughout our experience. Started with the salad which was fantastic, then moved to the truffle ravioli which had good flavor but were soaked in too much oil. The pesto was a bit disappointing on the gnocchi, it didn't have much flavor to it. Ended with the lemon cake which was yummy but the gelato is basically just vanilla icecream with caramel so I would pass on it next time. All in all positive experience, I just expected a bit more for the price point. read more

My friends and I had a great time visiting Turci Pasta. We celebrated one of my friends birthday and we were seated in the private area next to the restaurant. It was very quiet and very private. Everyone enjoy their meals and the dessert. The limoncello cake was so soft and the lemon flavor was very delicate and very delicious. They bring you a shot of espresso to pour over the tiramisu and it was just delightful! Since we were celebrating a birthday, they brought us a happy birthday plate with a cannoli and it was very good too! Our server was very nice. I would definitely come back! read more

I've been to Turci many times and it's usually one of my favorite spots, but tonight the food wasn't quite up to their normal standards. My daughter's pasta came out cold, and the gnocchi I ordered was a little too gummy. The service, however, was excellent as always. Something I really appreciate about Turci is how well-trained the staff is regarding service animals. My daughter brought her service animal, and we were treated with complete respect and normalcy. At many restaurants, we've been asked to sit outside despite requesting indoor seating, which shows a lack of education about service animal laws. Turci handled everything perfectly, which was refreshing and much appreciated. Another detail I love is the glass wall where you can watch the chefs making fresh pasta, it's such a nice personal touch that sets the atmosphere apart. The only reason for my four-star rating is that the food was slightly off tonight. Otherwise, Turci remains a restaurant I truly enjoy and recommend. read more

Turci Pasta - Sweet Potato Gnocchi - Italian Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I was so hype to try this place but idk it didn't live up to the hype. My gnocchi were a bit dense the appetizers were good but not LIKE WOW INSANE. Maybe the toast was the best thing but it's not the type of place I would go out of my way for. I also mentioned to them it was a congratulatory dinner and to bring a candle and nothing was done despite me asking when you spend close to $300 a little more care would be nice. The wine selection was nice and the cute photo they take is nice but not impressed. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but when you put down money there should always be a level of almost perfection. The appetizers were worth just for the record the entrees I could live without. The service was attentive with bringing water I will say that. read more

It had to go wrong with a place making pasta behind the window to bring to your table. Here it is done well with great presentation and taste -- not too spicy and certainly not bland. The Trio (Mix of the 3 Turci Bruschettas) Prosciutto & Burrata, Classic, and Truffle Honey is a great place to start. The Caesar Salad - Crisp Romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons and a rich Caesar dressing, topped with grated to a fine, cloud-like Parmesan Cheese was very good, but not the best I have ever had. The Fresh Fettuccine 3 cheese - Long, thin pasta ribbons coated in our homemade creamy white sauce, made with Parmesan, Mozzarella and Asiago cheese, was amazing. Pro tip - save some bread to use for dipping. There is enough cheese here to make almost a fondue as part of your meal. Service was great, the place itself is roomy and comfortable. Parking is on the street, but at least when I was there it wasn't too bad to find something. Portion sizes are large enough to be taking something home with you too. read more

Quiet, casual atmosphere on a Saturday for lunch with some upscale features including white tablecloths. Service was fair, kept our waters filled and checked on us frequently. Our courses were paced well with some time in between. The prosciutto and burrata bruschetta was great with the creamy cheese and crusty bread being the perfect pair. All of the pasta is made fresh and the difference is quite clear! The bolognese was hearty, three cheese indulgent, but my favorite was the (somewhat) spicy arrabbiata. Limoncello delizia was a light and delicious dessert to finish off a decadent meal. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys pasta for a lunch with friends or even a date night out! read more

So this is going to be a rare review, but I have to be completely honest. So this is the second time that I visited here, but I wanted to make sure that I had a different experience the second time before I wrote my review. The first experience was not very good at all, I will spare the details because the chef asked me to give another try after I gave feedback. The service was better this time, 100%! The second time, the manager and staff, I think her name was Michelli, was wonderful. Our server, Allen, was great as well! The food is absolutely beautiful, hands-down, one of the best pastas that I've had in Orlando. I think for the portion size, some of the dishes are a little overpriced, but it is a definite must try. The pear ravioli is still my absolute favorite, even my children, love it. It is quite a small restaurant, so reservations are absolutely recommended. Even if you get there right before 5 o'clock, do not expect to get seated because the restaurant could be fully booked. I learned that the hard way. The dishes are tasty and the pasta is nice and fresh. I just wish that the sweet potato gnocchi and the pear ravioli had different sauces in them. Anyhow, this is a definite must try I think if you live or our visiting in Orlando. The pasta is phenomenal. It is very clean inside, they are very accommodating and they are even great with the littles! read more

The Valentine's Day Menu at Turci Pasta needs its on little moment! My husband took me here for dinner after I raved about how great it was last year when we tried it for the first time. Last time we had to sit in the Turci Panino restaurant next door because of how packed it was, but this time we got to dine in the Turci Pasta side! It was so quiet and elegant on the inside, which you would never guess looking from the outside. The server was super friendly and helped us out with covering what to get items we were waffling on. My favorite item had to be the truffle ravioli aglio & olio! The flavors were all well balanced and there was the slightest crunch to it! The most surprising item though was the pear ravioli! I ordered it to be adventurous but I honestly was a little bit scared hahaha! The light flavor of the pear worked well with the creamy sauce! So well that I devoured it quickly! The caesar salad was served wedge style which made it easy to chr apart and eat....and the tiramisu with the coffee to pour over it was chefs kiss! This really was the perfect date night spot and I am already planning my next trip! read more

I was so excited to give this place a try after hearing nothing but great things, but I gotta say it didn't hit home. We had reservations even though it was a slower night and we were sat right at the front door even though the dining room was empty. This wouldn't have been that bad but it was a cold night and anytime the door opened my partner was caught in the draft. Just not an ideal spot to sit anyone! Our server was kind but not very on top of things, with almost 20 minutes going by and them not checking in each time. My partner enjoyed the squid ink pasta and said it all tasted very fresh. I got the smoked duck and was fairly disappointed as it was pretty overdone and chewy. The flavor was nice and the pasta with citrus zest was a good balance. The bread and oil were a nice inclusion but both lacked any real flavor. It was cool to watch them making fresh pasta in front of diners! Overall this restaurant has the air (and cost) of a fancier restaurant yet they miss the mark on justifying it. Folks were there in tshirts while others were dressed up, servers are in essentially suits and aren't well trained in service, the food is fresh but overcooked. read more
