Prato Local Pick

The Write-Up

The full story

Prato does Italian the Park Avenue way: rustic yet upscale, exposed brick and warm light, with house-made pastas and wood-fired pizzas coming out of a lively room. The mustard spaghettini cacio e pepe is the dish guests single out, alongside pretzel-crusted calamari and the diavolo pizza. It is popular enough that walk-ins can wait, so the long bar earns its keep while your table opens.

District Story

The story of Winter Park
