What the community has to say about Prego

Information about this business (2)

Prego's menu is full of complex and rich flavors that utilize the indigenous ingredients of Italy. Red ripe tomatoes, fresh herbs, exotic mushrooms and polenta, the Italian staple grain, are found in abundance on the bill of fare, which changes seasonally. The menu runs the gamut from classic dishes with a modern twist to contemporary Italian dishes created by Chef Watt.

Located in the hip and quaint area known as West University, this Italian restaurant offers up a casual dining experience. Most of the patrons here are long-time regulars from all walks of life.

Editorial reviews from the web (3)

"Lots of repeat customers" laud this "cozy" "neighborhood" trattoria, a "real sleeper" at the edge of Rice Village featuring "generous" helpings of "satisfying" Italian cuisine; a "friendly" staff "that knows your name" increases the appeal, as does the moderate cost.

Prego Restaurant Review

We won't admit to frequenting Prego merely for its extensive list of wines by the glass, but we are certainly fans. We're also glad that it's become a place where white-tablecloth food is served up to folks dressed for the nearby Main Street Theater, along with tired shoppers who've been perusing the Rice Village stores. Still, anyone eager to enjoy the creative menu is welcome. None of the...

This Rice neighborhood favorite brings in the crowds for its uncomplicated Italian fare.

In Short

I had their duck ravioli. Pretty much the best I've ever have eaten. Very rich, and full of flavor. Their blood orange mimosas were fantastic.
(P.S. The wine room is perfect for feeling secluded with a group of 8-10 guests).
