Grato Of Winter Park

Before you read anymore, 06/28/22, came to this location to find out that they had closed down!!! Ive been coming to Gratos with my wife since we moved to Florida in 2019 back in the Lake Mary location and now the Winter Park location. We were sad to find out that they're no longer around but we'll still hold them close and dear to our heart. Fortunas Bakery is moving in soon and the French Bakery next door is also gone now as well!

My son raves about this place....and now I know why. The lasagna was very good. The lunch special is a deal and the pizza, to hear my son say it, is the best on Park Ave....and I think he has tried every place within walking distance from Rollins. Affordable and fast....we sat outside because the temperatures were good. Some good people watching.... Fast good italian....Check it out.....

I feel compelled to write a review due to my experience last night and how I feel after eating at this establishment , first of all we were charged $26 dollars for literally a plate of broccoli and off tasting chicken supposedly ‘chicken Marsala’. I asked to add a vegetable (broccoli) and I was served a bowl of broccoli with a piece of flavorless chicken in a little sauce that did not taste very good at all. The menu sated the dish is served with “roasted potatoes and vegetables” My girlfriend got Stromboli which she could barley eat, the meat inside was not appetizing, and the dough tasted off as well. We both feel sick this morning as does another member of our party who ate there as well. The complimentary bread that they served us, after sitting for like 20 minutes, was burnt and hardly edible. Very disappointing experience.

The pizza was not great. The crust was overly baked and its flavor missed something, especially salt I think. The service staff was polite but not very helpful. We had to wait for a long time for every simple thing. I asked for a box before we left and they brought a tiny box for five slices of 18 pizza. We waited a little longer to ask for a bigger box but no one showed up again. We left the pizza and the boxes on the table and left. They didn't even notice what was going on. It was disappointing. Won't go again.

We decided to stop in for lunch friday afternoon, service was great and place was pretty busy! Pizza was excellent ! Definitely will come back for dinner.
