The restaurant is designed to offer the most genuine
Italian dining experience outside of Italy!
Cosy
and intimate, Prego takes you away from the hustle and bustle of city life; as
the glass doors of this Italian Adventure open, one is overwhelmed with the
state-of-the-art elements with authentic artwork, an open kitchen, visual light
earthen colour scheme; glass blocks in different colours, a rich wine cellar
(as in the wine is excellent!) and the exotic fragrance of Italian food.
And
once we got comfortable we experienced the best of Italian cooking by Chef Emiliano
Di Stefano who focuses on the root of the food. In the grand tradition of
Italian cuisine Emiliano serves innovative flavours and textures that only an
Italian chef will put to a dramatic effect.
To
whet appetites, the ‘Caesar salad classico’ sets the right mood, nice and crisp
lettuce, though the dressing is extra cheesy (no complaints!). I enjoyed their
‘black mussels and clams’ done to a tasty perfection with plenty of garlic and
flavoured with parsley and white wine.
Pasta is made fresh here every day to
guarantee the best quality. The ‘Aglio olio pepperoncino’ is absolutely
delicious with their special diavola of garlic and chilli oil. The ‘tortellacci
ai funghi’ handcrafted mushroom tortelli, spinach and cheese fondue, truffle
sauce took me straight to Alba…I could actually get the pleasing earthy
smell…mama mia! The ‘wild mushroom risotto’ was to die for and the thin crispy
‘pizzas’ especially the flavourful gorgonzola are wonderful. Some main dishes
like the ‘braised lamb shank’ with saffron risotto and ‘salt crusted sea-bass’
are truly outstanding. Save a little room for the heavenly ‘Traditional Tiramisu’
and trust me, Prego is ready to spread its magic in amchi Dilli! And yes,
constant action and mischievous gimmicks are integral to the truly engaging,
lively and interactive spirit of the dining experience out here…I got totally
fooled, though it brought laughter on her table. All in all, if anyone has
succeeded in bringing the ambience of a lively Italian piazza indoors, it would
be Prego. Visit here for a relaxing meal with friends.
