Your staff was very accommodating. We were initially seated in the glass room adjacent to the booths. It was very crowded and noisy and I asked to be moved. The hostess quickly moved us to the booth facing the kitchen and we had a lovely dinner. Elle was our waitress and she was exceptionally helpful and kind, as we were dining with our elderly parents, and it was a bit challenging. Thank you for great food, helpful staff, and a lovely dining experience!

Late to seat our reservation, server took 10 minutes to get to us and take a drink order. We were there celebrating 3 events and neither server, or management acknowledged it. Very disappointing experience

We took my mother to Prati Italia for Mother's Day. It was our first experience with the restaurant and I would definitely recommend it. For Mother's Day, you paid a flat rate per person and had special, family-style meals that everyone shared. So we enjoyed at least 10 different foods together over four courses. There wasn't a single bad plate out of the entire meal - each was as good as the last, with only one being not a favorite pick out of the bunch. They all came out fresh, as well, each and every time. If you're on the fence, definitely give them a chance. You won't regret it!

We made a reservation for the special Mother’s Day Brunch that was marketed as a buffet specifically for the buffet. Our reservation was towards the end of the brunch time frame, which I called the day before to verify that wouldn’t be too late and there would still be food, and they assured me it would be fine. Upon arrival of our reservation time we waited for about 15-20 minutes to be seated. It was very overcast and looked to be raining soon, and instead of being seated in one of the many open available tables under covering, we were seated at a table exposed to the elements if it rained. Which it did at one point, nobody checked on us. We just moved our table and the umbrellas our self. Once seated it was about another 10 min. until a waiter came and talked to us. Then it was about another 10 min. until we were brought water. We discovered the buffet was really just family style brunch. We were told that they were completely out of fruit and waffles, and instead of waffles would have biscuits. It took about 20 min. for us to receive our first plate and then 20 min. for each plate after. By the time it had been an hour of us being there, we had only been brought 2 things. The second item was the French toast and pancakes-for kids this was the main thing they were excited to eat. We were given 2 small pancakes and 2 French toast pieces. Mind you, this brunch cost $48 and $24 for kids. While this was a more expensive experience, we thought it was a buffet which our daughter wanted for her birthday so we decided to splurge. It was not worth the experience we had. No discounts were offered despite the service or things missing. When I finally said something about the pancakes/french toast they did give us more. It was just overall an incredibly poor experience. The food did taste good, but we never would have paid this amount for this experience. Not worth it all. Drinks weren’t included in the price. Service was inattentive despite it not being very busy.

Their regular menu fantastic.. Brunch menu and service poor. Very poor. Items available did not match what was advertised as Mother’s Day menu.. for instance, we were told there would be chicken and waffles.. nope.. got chicken and some lousy canned biscuits.. They never brought out enough for the table, could not get syrup or butter for pancakes. $500 meal and honestly Waffle House would have been better. Disappointing Mother’s Day. Update… received a notification from OpenTable, manager responded. Wants to make it right! Asked me to reach out. I did multiple times, yet no one has ever contacted me back. My conclusion is to assume it was simply an empty gesture by the restaurant meant only to look good to others who see my review. Making it appear they are responding and gonna make things right. When in reality they do nothing at all.

We were there for Mother day brunch so served a fixed family style meal and it was every bit of delicious. OK forst I started with a Sangria that was one of the best! Then we're served miluffins, scones and fresh fruit ( some i added to my sangria) then course after course of gourmet melt in your mouth food. My husband and I say our favorite was the berry French toast, the salmon and truffle toast and the breakfast lasagna.

Long piece of bendable metal found in my food. Mother’s Day food was great. Service was very slow (about 2 hours for lunch).
