I Frari In Prato

Recommended by friends, I went to the Frari under the loggias in Piazza del Comune, and I can confirm that it was a recommendation from true friends. The aperitif was excellent, as was the buffet. The service was kind and attentive. A truly positive experience.

We went for Sunday lunch to try their brunch, accompanied by friends and children. There were five adults and three children, and the experience was truly positive. I had already looked at the menu online and was intrigued by the offerings, but in person, it exceeded my expectations. The place is also very interesting architecturally: it's a historic café, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The service was attentive and friendly. Special thanks go to Tommaso, one of the owners, who provided impeccable advice on both the dishes and the wine pairings. We sampled almost the entire menu, sharing dishes with both adults and children. The offerings are in perfect American brunch style: pancakes, savory muffins, burgers, omelets, eggs cooked a variety of ways, hummus, vegetarian options, and much more. Everything was well-executed and truly delicious. We felt comfortable, relaxed, and uncluttered, and we spent a wonderful Sunday in good company. I know the place is also very popular for its cocktails: although I haven't tried them yet, as an insider, I noticed a very interesting wine list and a well-designed bar. I'll definitely be back for aperitivo. Finally, the bread and desserts are homemade, and that really makes a difference. Congratulations! Highly recommended, especially for brunch.

The self-service food is mediocre, but there's plenty of choice and you can order as much as you want. The food is reasonably priced, though it's a shame the drinks are priced like gold. That said, the atmosphere is truly classy. The service is very prompt, even if it's limited to drinks only. The waiters are friendly and helpful.

Highly recommended reference point when we go out to Prato
