Prego's Restaurant Review

Located in Rice Village, this Italian restaurant was a disappointment. The food was pricey and portions and quality did not match the cost. Eggplant parmesan was three too-thick slices, fried and bitter. There was no salad or soup offered as part of dinner. The side of spaghetti was a tad mushy. An order of chicken parmigiano was equally expensive and unimpressive. Dessert was bypassed. With all the food choices in the Village, I'd be unlikely to return.

Ate here last night - amazing! Truly enjoyed the food and the quality was excellent. Ambience is warm and inviting and service was prompt and accurate. We'll be back!

The food and service is good. However the price is way too much. Since we are vegan, we requested vegetables instead of meat. The additional charge for vegetables was absurd.

Decent food, middle prices, good date place with its quite dim atmosphere

Bread was good. If you re used to real Italian food I wouldn t recommend eating here

Italian style restaurant that reminded me of NYC. Great food.

Both delicious classics and inventive dishes in an intimate yet casual atmosphere.

AMAZING restaurant with staff that are very professional and friendly. We have always loved Prego but really appreciate how accommodating they have been during Covid. Their outdoor seating works well even when the temperatures are chilly...they have heaters setup outside. The staff bend over backwards to make sure you are taken care of and the food is always delicious. Can t say enough good things about this restaurant!

Amazing food and even more amazing people. Make sure to ask what the specials are...the Red Snapper and Soft Shell crab are a couple of my personal favorites. The sweet potato gnocchi and crab claws are both also awesome appetizers, annnnnd I can't really leave out a comment about the dessert- try the pannacotta with a glass of moscato.

Not professional. Service bad. Food old. Will not return to this place.

The service was amazing and the food was excellent. New years Eve, no reservation, dressed in jeans and t shirts after work and toting a 2 year old. We were seated immediately, our waiter was knowledgeable and professional. Our food done perfectly. Will definitely go back

I look forward to a return trip. Bring your appetite because portions are filling. Atmosphere is like a restaurant in Fort Worth I loved.

Not a cheap place but food and service were both excellent.

Excellent spaghetti carbonara, lovely snapper filet. Amazing after all these years it is still crowded every night. Fair prices.

Clean friendly service nice crowd a good place to relax and enjoy a wonderful meal

very good food!
the porcini soup is great !

Great food, family friendly atmosphere. The waiters were very nice.

Food was excellent but a employee brought in their child and the kid was playing with the cheese grinder! Completely unsanitary!!

Italian food at this location - yummy. Staff treated us so nice. This place has a good atmosphere.

Ravioli and cheese and meat plate appetizer were exquisite!

My family and I have been great fans of Prego for years. I always leave with the feeling that the food was just fabulous and among the best things I've ever tasted. My brother and I had dinner there this evening. I had the Vitello Prego and he had the green chili pepper corn pasta. Things just didn't taste as good as usual. Bland would be a good way to put it. Our bread was cold too. They weren't bad, but there wasn't that overwhelming sense of having fabulous food. I don't know if they've changed management, or if it was an off night, not sure. Service was fabulous as usual. I doubt I'll go back after this experience, which is a shame. Because I will miss it. I also don't go to Rice Village very often anymore because of the new parking meters.

The noise level in this restaurant was comparable to a New York subway. The bread was cold when served and the Romaine lettuce should have been dried off so it was not wet when served. Pasta dishes were full of flavor but this was lost in the atmosphere.

Took my mom here for lunch it was yummy, and the waiter was helpful to all of my moms questions lol. The caprese was good and the chicken salad is huge, I tried it and it was delicious although I'm not a fan of blue cheese.

Great food and service. Excellent wine for every taste

I had rabbit with BONE pasta- not on the menu.

We arrived at 10, it was a quiet night so we asked if they are closing. They said no and welcomed us to a table. After seating us they served us cold bread and the waiter began calling me "dude". We were hungry, it was late so we ordered our food.

When my rabbit pasta arrived very quickly and it was luke warm which showed it wasn't fresh, they vegan cleaning all the tables, reorganizing them and yelling from corner to corner.

The last straw was finding a rabbit bone as they were vacuuming around us. Then the manager asked me "What Id like him to do about it."

Don't waste your time here, so many other great restaurants..

Everything was delicious! We had the Torta Di Granchio (2 potato crusted TX blue-crab cakes w/ roasted corn, scallions, avocado & sundried tomato) for appetizer & for lunch/dinner veal & soft shell crab. Pricey but simply divine!! Excellent service, too! Definitely will be back!

My Good was fabulous pecan encrusted redfish to die for! Can t wait to go back!

Slow service, food disappointing, quite noisy that night.

Very savory. I look forward to a return visit. Makes me feel like I am back in Sacramento.

My husband and I have eaten at Prego's for years and have NEVER had a bad meal or poor service.....it is always a delightful experience.

Very good Italian food . Dishes are well prepared with decent presentation.

Our dining experience was exceptional, the food was prepared well, the staff was very knowledgeable about the menu, the desserts are just heavenly! It could get very busy and the restaurant is not that big so it tends to be very noisy and chaotic but overall I would come back again.

Great food, great service. Cuisine is always fresh and artfully presented.
