We had such a lovely time dining here as a family. It’s rare to find truly authentic Northern Italian cuisine in Southern California, so this was a real gem. So many Italian places in Southern California feel pretty Americanized, so this was a refreshing change. The lobster ravioli with black truffle was unforgettable—rich, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. For dessert, the cheesecake was the best I’ve ever had, and the tiramisu was perfectly balanced. The cozy, quiet atmosphere made the whole experience even more special. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Our party had a wonderful lunch at Prego. Our waiter was very attentive and helpful with recommendations. The martinis were delicious. The steaks were perfectly cooked, and the salmon plate and short rib pappardelle pasta were tasty. Prego was great for a high-quality lunch option in a relaxing atmosphere.
