| - A large group of us, 8 in total, headed out to a Sex and The City 2 private viewing on a spring evening and came to Prego for a nice dinner beforehand.
The host seated us right away and our waiter was quick to follow to take our drink orders. Shortly later, he arrived with our drinks and a smile.
I started with with a delicious Caprese salad which was perfect, the bocconcini cheese could have been home made, it was quite subtle but quite lovely with the dressing. I tasted one of my friends orangini rice balls, I was sceptical at first, but they too were delicious, cheesy, crunchy, saucy, how could you go wrong? (mmm these balls were soooo moist and delicious...my friends who watch SNL will know where I am going with this ;)
I ordered the filetto pepe or, the tenderloin with prawns. The steak was wonderfully tender and cooked just right, the prawns on top were crispy and juicy and I am not a big seafood fan and rather enjoyed them. The sauce was indulgently creamy and perfectly spiced. There was nothing wrong with this meal. The veg was grilled perfectly with just the right amount of char and a nice brushing of olive oil for a delicate balance of flavours.
I finished with their cheesecake and berry compote which was so creamy and surprisingly light with just the right amount of sweet to tang ratio. A fabulous finish to a great meal.
I didn't feel that the place was snooty or catered to business exec's but seeing how it is located in the core, you would expect that most of their clientèle would be suits. Having said that, it didn't change the fact that the service was wonderful, food was fresh, hot and delicious and the ambiance is great. They also threw in a mini cocktail for our pre-SATC viewing! My only issue is they don't open on Sundays!
So impressed with this place, Officially now one of my favorites.
