Prezzo (Boca Raton) – REVIEW
Boca Raton’s Italian Gem, Prezzo, Serves Up Generous Portions and Gourmet Bliss.
April 24th, 2024
Prezzo, an Italian trattoria in Boca Raton, has established itself as a beloved local favorite since its inception in 2017, known for its soulful preparations and imaginative interpretations of Italian classics. The restaurant’s talented chef team offers a diverse array of dishes that cater to both regular patrons and newcomers, ensuring a delightful dining experience for all.
Upon entering Prezzo, we were immediately impressed by the great ambiance, which is equally inviting whether you choose to dine inside or al fresco. The centerpiece of the 4,300-square-foot restaurant is the wood-burning oven, producing not only the renowned crispy, thin-crust pizzas but also filling the space with tantalizing aromas.
Our dining experience was elevated by the very attentive service. Jeremiah, our server, was exceptional in helping us select several items based on our tastes. The portion sizes were generous, allowing us to enjoy some delightful leftovers at home.
We started our meal with the Spicy Tuna Tostadas ($16), a vibrant combination of wonton crisp, ahi tuna, sriracha crème, sweet soy, sesame seeds, and Fresno chili, which provided a perfect balance of flavors and textures. Next, we savored the Lobster Bisque ($16), a rich and creamy soup accented with aged sherry, mascarpone, and basil oil.
One of the highlights was the Pear Pasta ($10), featuring an asiago fonduta walnut sauce that was nothing short of surreal. The Eggplant Caprese Stack ($20), with its pan-fried eggplant, beefsteak tomato, fresh mozzarella, balsamic, and basil pesto, was both visually stunning and delicious.
The Blistered Shishito Peppers ($16), served with meyer lemon and roasted garlic aioli, were a delightful new addition to the menu. For our main course, we enjoyed the Tuscan Salmon ($32), a beautifully cooked fillet that was tender and flaky, adorned with roasted cherry tomatoes bursting with sweetness, chopped baby spinach adding a fresh, leafy texture, all brought together by a creamy roasted garlic sauce. The accompanying sautéed zucchini noodles provided a light and healthy alternative to traditional pasta.
We couldn’t resist trying a half-and-half pizza, choosing the ½ Black Truffle Pizza and ½ Italian Sausage Pizza ($21). The Black Truffle Pizza, topped with creamy ricotta, gooey mozzarella, earthy cremini mushrooms, delicate shaved red onion, and a sprinkle of parmesan, was a gourmet delight finished with peppery arugula. The Italian Sausage Pizza, with its roasted garlic ricotta base, melted mozzarella, savory sweet Italian sausage, and sweet caramelized onions and minus the mushrooms, was a flavorful wonderland.
The Spicy Orecchiette ($29) offered a satisfying kick with every bite. The perfectly cooked orecchiette pasta was tossed with vibrant broccoli rabe, sharp pecorino Romano, and fragrant toasted garlic & oil, complemented by chunks of spicy Italian sausage that added depth and heat.
For a heartier option, the 14 oz Grilled Veal Chop ($54) did not disappoint. The chop was expertly grilled to a juicy perfection, with a slight char that added a smoky dimension to the tender, flavorful meat. This dish came with a side of your choice, rounding out a robust and indulgent entree.
We wrapped up our meal with the incredibly necessary Warm Butter Cake ($22) topped with two scoops of ice cream. The cake was warm, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, with the cool, creamy ice cream providing the perfect contrast.
Prezzo also offers a range of special dietary options, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free choices. With features like delivery, takeout, reservations, outdoor seating, private dining, valet parking, and a full bar, it’s no wonder Prezzo is a popular spot in Boca Raton. The spacious indoor/outdoor bar area, complete with beer, signature cocktails, and a curated wine list, is perfect for happy hour, live entertainment nights, and bottomless Sunday brunches.
Perfect Pineapple Margarita, Raspberry Lemon Drop
Overall, Prezzo delivers a superb dining experience with attentive service, generous portions, and a menu that beautifully blends traditional and innovative Italian dishes. Whether you’re in the mood for a casual meal or a special night out, Prezzo is a hit in every sense.
This intimate chef-driven tasting experience in Broward blends elevated cuisine, live culinary artistry, and a mission that transforms lives.

Not every memorable night out in South Florida happens at the trendiest Miami hotspot or the newest Fort Lauderdale restaurant. Sometimes, the most unforgettable dining experiences are hidden in places you’d least expect.
Arc Broward’s Arc Culinary is one of those rare gems.
More than just a dinner reservation, Arc Culinary delivers an immersive chef’s table experience where guests enjoy thoughtfully curated multi-course meals while watching talented chefs prepare and present each dish right in front of them. The result feels part fine dining, part live performance, and entirely unforgettable.
With limited seating and rotating themed menus, every event feels exclusive like being invited to an intimate dinner party hosted by some of South Florida’s most passionate culinary talent.
The real magic begins once the first course arrives.
At Arc Culinary, dinner becomes an experience. Instead of dishes quietly appearing from behind kitchen doors, guests get a front-row seat to the craftsmanship behind every plate. Watching the chefs work adds a level of connection and appreciation that transforms the meal into something far more interactive and personal.
For its recent Fresh SoFlo Summer Flavors dinner, Arc Culinary showcased a four-course tasting menu celebrating seasonal Florida ingredients with elevated technique and thoughtful presentation.
The evening began with a refreshing Florida blue crab starter served with avocado, ruby red grapefruit, hearts of palm, and a bright key lime vinaigrette. Light, citrusy, and beautifully balanced, it captured South Florida summer on a plate.
Course two brought a stunning pan-seared Florida snapper, perfectly crisp on the outside and paired with sweet corn purée and blistered cherry tomatoes. The standout element, however, was the sauce. A swap to miso chili oil added layers of umami, subtle spice, and richness that completely elevated the dish. It was one of those bites that makes the entire table pause.
The third course featured a beautifully cooked grilled filet mignon, served with roasted summer peppers, shaved fennel, arugula, and key lime chimichurri. Rich yet balanced, it delivered the kind of bold, satisfying flavor you hope for in a main course.
Dessert ended the evening on a classic South Florida note: a stunning key lime tart that was equal parts creamy, tart, and sweet.
While the food alone makes Arc Culinary worth visiting, what makes the experience truly special lies beyond the plate.
Founded in 1956, Arc Broward has spent nearly seven decades serving individuals with developmental disabilities and life challenges throughout Broward County. The nonprofit supports individuals from ages 1 to 91, offering programs that include education, employment services, behavioral health support, residential programs, and family resources.
Arc Culinary operates as one of Arc Broward’s most innovative social enterprises, using food as both a source of funding and a pathway to opportunity.
Proceeds from dinners, private events, catering, and culinary programming directly support Arc Broward’s life-changing services while also helping create hands-on training and workforce opportunities in hospitality and culinary arts for individuals with special needs.
In other words, this isn’t just dinner.
It’s a chance to support inclusion, independence, and meaningful opportunity—all while enjoying an exceptional meal.
That’s what makes Arc Culinary so special: you come for the chef-driven menu, the intimate atmosphere, and the creative flavors, but you leave with something deeper.
In a region filled with restaurants competing for attention, Arc Culinary offers something increasingly rare a dining experience that feels personal, purposeful, and genuinely impactful.
Because at Arc Culinary, every course tells a story and every bite gives back.
