    Veal Marsala w/whipped potatoes
    Jackie W.

    This restaurant was formerly Armando's in College Park. We had great food and experience there. We thought we'd try Vesuvio's since it's still owned by Armando. A little different experience. We went on Valentine's Day and were shocked how empty the restaurant was. As Armando's, it was always packed. Food was very good except the Calamari appetizer we ordered took a long time and was lukewarm at best. My partner did not want to cause an issue and said it was "fine" The service is where we had the biggest issue. Our server came over very talkative and friendly and got us a sample of a wine they thought we'd like, which we did. Once the wine came we wondered where the bread was. Had to bother another server who got us the bread. Ours was hard to track down. We couldn't understand because it was so empty. Anyway, food came and it was very good. Hot and flavorful. But another 20 min until we got our server to come over and give us the bill. Kind of aggravating, but not horrible. Who knows what was going on in the kitchen. We probably won't go back but will definitely visit Armando's in Winter Park

    Food was great but they charge substitutes without telling you. Changing the side pasta to mashed potatoes was an additional charge of 7$

Still 5 stars since I can't bump it up another notch. They have their staples like Chicken Parm, Lasagna, Bolognese, Shrimp Fry Diavolo, Puttanesca , Piccata, Gnocchi, and a variety of delicious pizzas and appetizers. There are too many to name. This restaurant can stand on their own with their standards. Where they stand out is with their specials. The chef here is always innovating and trying some new dishes. I wish I could get a notification of what's on the menu each night. I've had some amazing surprises with the taste and presentation of these dishes. And when they have wedding soup (Christmas time), I definitely make sure I go. I feel like part of the family when I go here. They always recognize us and some of the staff even resembles member of my extended Italian family. They cook better than my Italian grandma (shhhh, don't tell her). They also just opened a sister restaurant (Amalfi) down the block so they're taking over Avalon Park! I've been here a lot and plan on going a lot more. Some of the best Italian food in Orlando! So glad it's close to my house!

And arguably, New York has some of the best Italian food in America, so we definitely weren't expecting to find anything in Florida that would really compare. But WOW. This place absolutely blew us away! Family-owned and operated by an Italian family, and honestly, from the moment we sat down, I had a feeling it was going to be good. The food was incredible, the service was easily 5 stars, and the ambiance in the outdoor dining area was second to none. It genuinely felt like we found a little taste of New York in Orlando. This will absolutely be our regular go-to for Italian whenever we're in town!

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.

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.

When asked for pizza recommendations, our phenomenal server recommended…read morethe Pesto & Mortadella (Basil pesto, mortadella, burrata cheese & pistachio) and the Rustichella (Ham, bacon, roasted tomatoes, arugula, mozzarella& pomodoro sauce). I selected the pesto and mortadella because I have never seen mortadella on a pizza outside of my Italy vacation so... lord help me it was delicious. This combo of ingredients was perfection. This was my first time at Tratto and I already have made plans to return. My plans include trying another new-to-me pizza combination but no promises. I might get the pesto and mortadella on repeat for the foreseeable future. The pizzas can be ordered in Thin crust or Detroit style. I ordered my pizza as thin crust which was exceptional and my dining partner ordered a Detroit style with pepperoni and thoroughly enjoyed it. We both had enough leftovers to take home for another meal. This restaurant accepts reservations. The service was attentive and efficient. The restaurant interior ambiance was elegant and modern - Dim and comfortable on a hot and way too sunny day. As for seating, There are 2 outside cafe-style tables but this establishment is mainly an interior dining restaurant. It is attached to the Walmart neighborhood market behind the McDonalds in avalon park so there is plenty of shared parking. Can't wait to return.

I'm usually not a ratatouille girl at all, but THIS one? Whew. The burrata on top took it to another level--creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced. I'd go back just for that alone. Now...the Detroit-style pizza?? Where has this been all my life? We got the Spicy Pepperoni and I'm still thinking about it. The combo of crispy edges, fluffy crust, hot honey, and goat cheese was unreal. At this point, I feel like I need to book a trip to Detroit just to compare lol. We also tried the cheese wheel pasta--flavor-wise it was just okay for me, but the tableside presentation was definitely the highlight. It's one of those dishes you order more for the experience than the taste. Paired everything with a bottle of prosecco, which made the whole night feel a little extra and very much needed. And shoutout to Zack--he was a great waiter. Attentive, friendly, and really helped make the experience smooth from start to finish. Overall, great vibes, solid food, and a fun dining experience. Definitely a spot I'd come back to--especially for that pizza and burrata situation.

From the moment the food hit the table, everything looked as good as it tasted. The Margherita pizza was outstanding--perfectly blistered wood-fired crust with a light, airy chew, fresh mozzarella, bright tomato sauce, and basil that let every ingredient shine. Simple, authentic, and executed flawlessly. The chicken sandwich was equally impressive. The chicken was crispy without being greasy, topped with fresh mozzarella and tomato on soft, fresh bread. Paired with perfectly seasoned crispy fries, it made for an excellent lunch. The espresso martini was the perfect finishing touch--smooth, rich, and beautifully balanced with a creamy foam that coffee lovers will appreciate. The outdoor patio on Park Avenue creates a relaxed atmosphere that's perfect for people-watching while enjoying an authentic Italian meal. Service was attentive without feeling rushed, and the quality of the ingredients was evident in every bite. If you're looking for some of the best wood-fired pizza in Central Florida, Prato is absolutely worth the visit. Whether you're stopping in for lunch, date night, or drinks with friends, it's easy to see why Prato has become a Winter Park favorite known for its modern Italian cuisine and lively atmosphere.

In Atlanta this was one of our go-to easy dates night spots if we had some shopping to do at Lenox. We had an unexpectedly boozy night the night before and wanted something easy and delicious and known instead of our initial plan to try a wine bar that was new to us. I skipped drinks altogether. Sean got a glass of Pinot Noir I got a favorite of mine- the Bolognese and my husband got the chicken parm. Both we were familiar with from previous experiences at the Atlanta location. Both solid choices. We also had a bread service and vining at served with that was different. Really good and a touch sweet. I asked the server to find out what the brand of vinegar used was and she did. She also offered to get me a little cup of it to take home with additional bread. What she actually brought out was a soup cup full of it. I looked up the brand and she basically gave me a full bottle of the vinegar free of charge as a take home garnish. What a sweet and and adorable gesture. Management; you are seeing this she was delightful and so sweet and I hope I did not get her in trouble. This was an incredibly kind gesture. She could not have been more adorable helpful or likable. We also got the butter cake. The seasonal version was a banana and oh my god was it good. We almost ordered a second helping.
