As the weather warms up and the humidity moves in, nothing beats the heat like crisp glass of Caruso Inzolia while escaping the hustle and bustle of the city at Prego’s authentic trattoria style bar. We welcome the heat as an opportunity to highlight the lighter side of Italy’s cuisine. Prego offers a refreshing Buratta Cheese Salad with in-house pickled golden beets, organic watercress and toasted hazelnuts. If you’re in the mood for an Italian classic, we have the best Spaghetti Carbonara in town. And don’t forget to try our signature Red Snapper Special topped with mouthwatering jumbo lump crab, ovendried tomatoes and our delicate bianco sauce. Throughout the summer Prego will be featuring delectable Soft Shell Crabs with Balsamic grilled Asparagus and Truffled Potato Ravioli.Chef John Watt continues to be at the forefront of Houston’s culinary movement, creatively accentuating the quality ingredients that define Prego’s cuisine.
To show our support for our local farmer’s market, Prego and our other sister restaurants, Hugo’s, Trevisio and Backstreet Café, have begun participating in the Urban Harvest Market. Urban Harvest promotes healthy communities, sound nutrition and respect for the environment. Visit the farmers market on Saturdays for locally grown fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, cheese, honey, and much more! Each Saturday one of our restaurants will be out there serving up tasty bites of new menus items, seasonal favorites and promoting a great community movement. Come join us! The market is located in theparking lot behind 3000 Richmond.

"Ultimate" NEIGHBORHOOD BISTRO
Prego
October 2007
The small Italian eatery in the Rice Village is one of those perfect default restaurants, the place to go when you can’t think of anywhere else to eat. With its mix of tables and booths, it’s casual and welcoming. The service is attentive, the wine list extensive, the food imaginative but comforting and reasonably priced. Try the pan-roasted mussels or the pan-roasted rabbit scallopini with sliced olives and roasted shallot bianco, or the Sicilian-spiced lamb shops. An added virtue: Parking, at night anyway, is seldom a problem. Be forewarned, however: The birds in the trees that trim nearby lots occasionally relieve themselves — in great numbers — on the cars below.
