Review: Ristorante Prego
A namesake of Westin’s most patronized
restaurant, Prego is the latest Italian eatery in SOBO. Located on the ground floor of CR2 Mall, the same space where once Ruby
Tuesday’s was, Prego also belongs to the same
group.
Well designed, the restaurant
boasts of contemporary chic interiors
Cheese Risotto Croquettes |
We begin with the Cheese Risotto Croquettes – yummy cheese parcels filled rice, a little bland but nice
nevertheless.
Then we try the Herbed Flat
bread with Chorizo – the bread was very chunky and the entire dish was very
tasteless. How can one manage to make a dish with Chorizo so sad it’s hard to
fathom.
Goat Cheese & Argula Leaves Pizza |
In the pizza’s we tried the Margherita
and Goat Cheese & Argula Leaves Pizzas. Both pizza’s had extremely thin crusts.
Quite nice and tasty.
Green Apple Martini |
The Green Apple Martini was in
one word - PUKE. Artificially flavoured, this drink almost tasted like medicine
and looked as if it was made from Hulk pee.
Grilled Chicken |
In the main course, we tried
the Grilled Chicken Breasts on a bed of potatoes served with Peppercorn sauce. This
dish was very ok. Not as bad as the Chorizo flat bread but not great either.
The Belini was beautiful
quite a refreshment from the Green Goblin... er Apple Martini
Tiramasu & Blueberry Cheesecake |
In the desserts, the Tiramasu
was delectable, light and airy.
Chocolate Martini |
The Chocolate Martini was
yum, quite a chocolate overload but yum!
The Blueberry Cheese Cake was
yum too, but not as good as the Tiramasu.
Prego is quite reasonably
priced, much unlike its namesake in Westin and other counterparts like Spaghetti
Kitchen and Bascilico. On an average a meal would cost Rs 600 without alcohol
Verdict:
Food: Mixed Bag
Ambience: Chic
Service: Ok
Quick Tip: Go there for the vegetarian fare & the
Tiramasu
