Prato Restaurant — Restaurant in Zona Metropolitană Brașov

We visited the restaurant with certain expectations — the interior and pricing suggested an author’s approach and bold gastronomic impressions. However, the reality leaned more toward classic simplicity than culinary experimentation.

The soup was a pleasant surprise — tasty, with an interesting depth of flavor thanks to the truffle paste. The pizza was edible, but it clearly isn’t the restaurant’s strong point.

The duck foie gras was fine — delicate and as it should be, but without a “wow” effect. The Bolognese pasta was done in a traditional homemade style: ground meat, tomato sauce, and penne. Tasty, but without surprises or any chef’s twist.

The duck breast with celery puree and beetroot, unfortunately, was disappointing. Some pieces of meat were overcooked, while others were pleasantly pink and flavorful. The celery puree lacked the bright, distinctive flavor of celery — it likely contained too much potato. The promised combination of duck and celery wasn’t fully realized. The beetroot also didn’t impress — simply roasted, without smoky notes or cherry marinade as one might expect for a more refined taste.

Overall, the restaurant seems to gravitate toward classical dishes without bold or unique chef-inspired touches. For the prices, one would expect a more creative approach and surprising flavor...

Never walked out of a restaurant due to poor service until today.

Started on the wrong foot when I asked for a Campari spritz. “No” said our server, Gabriel. They have all the ingredients, but won’t make anything not listed specifically on the menu. Strange, fine.

Next, my wife who can’t eat dairy but loves fish asked if olive oil could be substituted. “No” said our server, Gabriel. Asked if the butter sauce could be on the side. “No” said our server, Gabriel. For multiple dishes, same questions with the same answer.

Realizing we couldn’t be accommodated and needed to find a better option I asked that my appetizer order be canceled. This was literally 2 minutes after placing the order. “No” said our server, Gabriel.

We get it that some dishes are pre-made without substitutes possible. We get that sometimes requests are either impossible or just not worthwhile. But Gabriel’s attitude bordered on anger from the start. We rolled with it initially, but with so many other option with surprisingly better price points in the end we bailed saying, “No Prato”

because of Gabriel’s service food never made it to our table and google needs me to put a mark so 3-stars meaning neither nor bad definitely not Italian in sentiment, welcoming...

We were near Brașov and looking for a gluten-free restaurant for our daughter. A celiac friend recommended Prato Restaurant, located in Brașov. My wife called ahead, and when we arrived, the waiter, Cornel, was already expecting us. We reminded him about our daughter's dietary requirements, and he reassured us by explaining the measures they would take to ensure her food was prepared with utmost care. He had already informed the kitchen staff, ensured new dishes would be used, and assisted us in choosing suitable options for our daughter.

Since our daughter was undecided about what to eat, he even customized the menu for her. We ordered two different pasta dishes, a duck dish for my wife, and, in the end, a gluten-free dessert made with homemade sorbet. Everything was absolutely delicious, and we cannot thank Cornel enough for his dedication. He is one of the best waiters we’ve ever encountered.

Many thanks as well to the Prato manager and the rest of the staff, who were remarkably...
