    We came to Prati Italia for brunch and it was absolutely perfect. The atmosphere was cozy, quiet, and relaxing—great for a weekend catch-up. I had the blueberry Bellini (so refreshing!) and the Fontina Meatballs as my entrée—rich marinara, creamy polenta, and that garlic crumble was everything. We also ordered the crispy Brussels sprouts and they were next level with the Gorgonzola, bacon, pepper jelly, and balsamic drizzle. Our waitress Hadley was wonderful—super attentive and friendly. Can’t wait to come back!

    Excellent service and wonderful gluten free pasta. Our server was so knowledgeable that she knew about off menu items requested by one in our party.

    Our server was outstanding, as usual! Unfortunately, we had a noisy group sitting at the table next to us which made it almost impossible for us to have our own conversation.

    The food is excellent; however, the service was very slow. I have eaten here 3-4 times and had not experienced an issue with slow service, both with the entrees and the drinks until this time.

    My wife and I showed up on time (5:30) for our reservation. A couple entered just ahead of us and it was clear they didn't have a reservation based on over hearing their conversation with the hostess. They were as to sit in the waiting area. My wife and I were also asked to wait while they cleared some tables. No issue so far, but it was clear the restaurant wasn't very busy. We did notice several staff members standing around in the bar area chatting with each other. No employees seemed to be in a rush to do anything. A few minutes later another party of 3 entered and also had to wait. Meanwhile, the first couple ahead of us with no reservation was seated at a table. We continued to wait. 20 minutes later the party of 3 who entered after us was also seated. We are now 25 minutes past our reservation time in a half empty restaurant. My wife and I decided this was not the restaurant of service we would like to spend our money on and got up to walk out. The hostess stared at us as we were leaving and never said a word. We promptly went to another restaurant and were seated immediately. While at the other restaurant, I sent Prati a message through the OpenTable app and it was never responded to. I would discourage people from patronizing this establishment until there is proper management in place and better communication/work ethic from the staff. We were unable to try the food so I can't comment in that area.
