A Florida Italian restaurant has set its timetable for expanding into Tennessee. Prato, from Winter Park, Florida, is preparing to open in the Green Hills neighborhood of Nashville, Tennessee, in spring 2027, its operator Park Lights Hospitality announced in a November 5 press release.

Aaron Cook, vice president of operations for Park Lights Hospitality, confirmed the spring opening timeline to WhatNow Nashville in a November 9 phone conversation. An exact street address has not yet been disclosed.

Prato has operated for 15 years, building a following in Central Florida for contemporary interpretations of Italian classics, seasonal ingredients and an energetic dining atmosphere, and has earned recognition from the Michelin Guide.

Chief executive Scott Bowman said Nashville was among the company's preferred markets for expanding beyond Florida. Alongside Nashville, Prato is also preparing to open in Bethesda, Maryland, with lease negotiations in final stages in several other markets.
