Turci Pasta

It had to go wrong with a place making pasta behind the window to bring to your table. Here it is done well with great presentation and taste -- not too spicy and certainly not bland. The Trio (Mix of the 3 Turci Bruschettas) Prosciutto & Burrata, Classic, and Truffle Honey is a great place to start. The Caesar Salad - Crisp Romaine lettuce, crunchy croutons and a rich Caesar dressing,topped with grated to a fine, cloud-like Parmesan Cheese was very good, but not the best I have ever had. The Fresh Fettuccine 3 cheese - Long, thin pasta ribbons coated in our homemade creamy white sauce, made with Parmesan, Mozzarella and Asiago cheese, was amazing. Pro tip - save some bread to use for dipping. There is enough cheese here to make almost a fondue as part of your meal.Service was great, the place itself is roomy and comfortable. Parking is on the street, but at least when I was there it wasn't too bad to find something. Portion sizes are large enough to be taking something home with you too.

I was so excited to give this place a try after hearing nothing but great things, but I gotta say it didn't hit home. We had reservations even though it was a slower night and we were sat right at the front door even though the dining room was empty. This wouldn't have been that bad but it was a cold night and anytime the door opened my partner was caught in the draft. Just not an ideal spot to sit anyone! Our server was kind but not very on top of things, with almost 20 minutes going by and them not checking in each time. My partner enjoyed the squid ink pasta and said it all tasted very fresh. I got the smoked duck and was fairly disappointed as it was pretty overdone and chewy. The flavor was nice and the pasta with citrus zest was a good balance. The bread and oil were a nice inclusion but both lacked any real flavor. It was cool to watch them making fresh pasta in front of diners! Overall this restaurant has the air (and cost) of a fancier restaurant yet they miss the mark on justifying it. Folks were there in tshirts while others were dressed up, servers are in essentially suits and aren't well trained in service, the food is fresh but overcooked.

So this is going to be a rare review, but I have to be completely honest. So this is the second time that I visited here, but I wanted to make sure that I had a different experience the second time before I wrote my review. The first experience was not very good at all, I will spare the details because the chef asked me to give another try after I gave feedback. The service was better this time, 100%! The second time, the manager and staff, I think her name was Michelli, was wonderful. Our server, Allen, was great as well! The food is absolutely beautiful, hands-down, one of the best pastas that I've had in Orlando. I think for the portion size, some of the dishes are a little overpriced, but it is a definite must try. The pear ravioli is still my absolute favorite, even my children, love it. It is quite a small restaurant, so reservations are absolutely recommended. Even if you get there right before 5 o'clock, do not expect to get seated because the restaurant could be fully booked. I learned that the hard way.The dishes are tasty and the pasta is nice and fresh. I just wish that the sweet potato gnocchi and the pear ravioli had different sauces in them. Anyhow, this is a definite must try I think if you live or our visiting in Orlando. The pasta is phenomenal. It is very clean inside, they are very accommodating and they are even great with the littles!

First time visiting Turci. We made reservations for Christmas Eve. They offer 3 options - main dining room, panini shop and outdoor dining. We chose the panini shop and I was so glad. The panini shop has dimmer light, is quieter and gives a more intimate vibe. The main dining area has the window where you can watch someone make fresh pasta, the lighting is brighter, busier with the front door opening and closing and is noisier. The service is the same no mater where you choose to dine. Our server Fernando did an amazing job. He was friendly, very helpful and attentive. We had Caesar salad and bruschetta to start. Followed by black truffle ravioli side and purple sweet potato stuffed gnocchi. All was delicious. For the entree we chose pear ravioli with poach pear in wine and gnocchi pesto burrata with breaded chicken on the side. The pear dish is beautiful and different. The pesto gnocchi was delicious! Nothing like fresh gnocchi! Everything is beautifully plated and flavored. We finished with cappuccinos, espresso and tiramisu. The night was perfect. You should definitely try this spot and ask for Fernando! Thank you Turci Pasta and Fernando for an amazing dining experience!

Incredible! We did the $59 deal where u get two appetizers, an entree, and a dessert. Everything was delicious and service was great. Will definitely be going back.

I loved our dining experience at Turci! It was hard to decide what to eat so I was thankful they had a Prix Fixe menu. We thought it was worth it for $59 for four courses because it was that good! I did not add two glasses for wine for $15, instead I ordered one separate cocktail- the Rossa ($12). That was the one item that fell short to me; the drink had the consistency and taste of a fruit smoothie which just wasn't what I was looking for in a cocktail. But on to the meal... They give you bread and bread really can be hit or miss but this was sadly good. And I say sadly because it almost tricked me into eating too much that I would have been too full to enjoy my meal. I started with the Truffle Honey Brushetta- delicious. A little on the dessert side it felt like but the truffle is strong. For the app I got the Black Truffle Ravioli (I will eat anything with truffle). Again, a strong truffle taste. Two big pieces, very delicious. I ordered the Pear Ravioli for the main. I was surprised to see the poached pear was actually a whole pear on my plate but nonetheless it was a great dish. Ended the meal with a great Nutella cheesecake.Thoroughly enjoyed the experience; looking forward to coming back to try their Beef Wellington!

Cute spot for date night in College Park. You can see the kitchen making fresh pasta!The service was a bit slow and made mistakes but the food was delicious.

The service here was fabulous! Parking was a little hard to find but the food makes it up! I highly recommend the smoked duck breast and the pear wine ravioli both are great dishes and so unique. The greatest thing is that the pastas are made from scratch so everything is guaranteed freshness. They don't call this the best in town for no reason. Worth it!

We live about 40 minutes or so from this place, but we were in the area and decided to give it a try as it has been on my Orlando must try collection for a while. We were pleasantly surprised by this cute and quaint restaurant. Service was really nice and the food was delicious. I was able to watch someone make fresh pasta from my table which was really nice. We started with the truffle ravioli, Caesar salad and the fried burrata. I wouldn't recommend the salad as it was nothing special. The fried burrata didn't seem like burrata. It was very tough and chewy, more like a mozzarella. The truffle ravioli made up for that because it was phenomenal. We then got a 3 cheese fettuccine which was delicious and so saucy. We ended the night with a fresh ravioli and a Nutella cheesecake. The Nutella cheesecake was quite deceiving as it was just a regular slice of cheescake with Nutella smeared on top. The cannoli, however was delicious. I wish we each got our own. I can't wait to be can't and can't recommend this place enough.

I can't say enough amazing things about the food and service here!We went for magical dining and we loved every second of it. I can't remember the names of the dishes but we both ordered the truffle ravioli for appetizer. 10/10! Our entrees were such high quality pasta! We got the bolognese and a ravioli dish. The desserts were the stars of the show. The Tiramisu comes with fresh espresso that you pour the cake yourself, such freshness and richness! The limoncello cake deliciously moist and tasty. We can't wait to dine here again, highly recommend!
