Turci Pasta

Had an amazing experience at Turci Pasta! The Beef Wellington was heavenly – whoever invented it deserves a spot in heaven, and those who can replicate it as well. We also tried the sweet potato gnocchi, which was so incredible that we had to ask Arthur for the recipe. Arthur, our gracious server, went above and beyond, politely inquiring with the chef about the divine sauce's ingredients. Special kudos to Arthur for his helpfulness and excellent menu recommendations. What a gem!

Friendly staff and cute atmosphere. The hubby had the purple gnocchi. Growing up in an Italian home, this was definitely an interesting and tasty spin-off of traditional gnocchi. However, I would not recommend it as an entree as the portion is small and the dish is extremely rich. They are filled with cheese and served with a cheese sauce. My husband can usually put anything away, but he struggled to eat it all and ended up picking at my meal instead. Might be a nice dish to share as a starter. I had the traditional gnocchi with marinara and a side of meat balls. The gnocchi were light, fluffy, and delicious. The meatballs and marinara were also fabulous. My only issue was that the food was not warm enough for me, so I decided to take it home and heat it up to really enjoy it fully. The great thing about this place is all the pasta is freshly made in-house and you can "build" your meal by picking your pasta and sauce separately to meet your cravings.

Best food in Orlando! Stop searching around and go you wont regret it Starting with handmade pasta and great selection of items to choose from. We opted for the 4 course meal and wine pairings and were blown away . The purple gnocchi stuffed with mozzarella is amazing and paired with the selection of wine made the flavors come alive . The beef wellington is cooked perfectly and the flavor from the mustard is a must try. Our waiter Arthur was knowledgeable on the menu choices and wine list, for desert he came to the table to make cannolis of our choice and brought a rich tiramosu. One of the finest dining experiences orlando has to offer.

Turci is a storefront market & cafe serving Italian dishes made with housemade pastas, plus gelato. I recommend making an online reservation because the place was packed when we got there. Usually, they only have a la carte menu, but when we went, they also had a Visit Orlando Magical Dining 3 course menu, which was only $40/person (a really good deal). For each course (appetizer, main, dessert), we could pick from 3 different options. For the appetizer and main, we also had the option to upgrade. My friend and I wanted to try out more things, so we ordered different items from their 3 courses menu. The portions of their 3-courses menu were the same size as their a la carte menu items. We ordered the following items for our 3 course experience - 1. Black truffle (appetizer) 2. Bruschetta (appetizer) 3. Beef wellington with gnocchi (main) 4. Verdi Ragu pasta (main) 5. Tiramisu (dessert) 6. Limoncello Delizia (dessert) 7. Peach rossini (cocktail) 8. Strawberry rossini (cocktail) The black truffle appetizer was pretty good. It was very creamy and had a rich truffle flavor. The bruschetta was pretty standard. Verdi ragu pasta was not that great. Sauce felt very watered down, and the pasta was a bit undercooked. Beef wellington and the gnocchi were the star of the night. The beef wellington was cooked really well. It was juicy, and the puff pastry had the right amount of crunch and salt. Gnocchi was so light and creamy. It felt like I was eating a cloud. It just melted in your mouth right away. Both the tiramisu and the limoncello desserts were really good. Tiramisu came with a shot of espresso. I don't drink coffee, so I can't commment there. The Limoncello was sweet with a hint of citrus, and it tasted really good. Both the prosecco cocktails were pretty good as well. I personally liked peach more than strawberry. We were also celebrating my friend's birthday that day so they brought him a cannoli as his birthday dessert and the whole staff sang the birthday song. Our service was super slow and a bit disappointing. Our server didn't bring out the water until 15 minutes after we were seated. We kept asking for water, but nothing happened. Our water was served after our drinks and food had come out. Overall, the food was great. The service can be a lot better.
