Prego — Restaurant in Mexico City

Avoid if you want authentic Italian. Or even tasty Italian.

Food: 1* Everything but food was really good. For me, though, restaurants are weighted towards food. +The bread served table side, with 3 choices were actually pretty good, but I don't think they make it in house. The thin pieces were a little weird with dried herbs, but the cheese was good on it. +Cheese seems authentic. -All pasta, the backbone of Italian, tasted like from boxes--perhaps the boxes that are touted with such pride in the back? Not only from a box but overcooked, and like another reviewer said, mushy. The ravioli is TINY. Mine was about quarter size, or about 10peso coin size--the cheese shavings were bigger! -Meat was tasteless. Nice chunk, looked tasty, but no flavor. -Sauces are average or below. Red sauce tasted from a jar or can. They could well have made it, but it didn't have any depth and they did a surprisingly good job of emulating jarred sauce... The Madeira sauce tasted heavily of flour.

Service: 4* Very nice, attentive service that wasn't in your face. Discreet. Spoke some English.

Ambiance: 3.5* It's nice, was pretty empty when we got here (only one other table), but the pictures on Yelp do make it look nicer.

All in all, the experience wasn't bad, but the food was kinda atrocious, especially for the relative price in the area. I would definitely not recommend when there are so many other good...

Amazing food, if you want a great place to it, local, cozy and with an among customer service THIS IS THE PLACE. Our experience was great in terms of attention from staff, food and drinks, also the ambiance is really cozy and seems like home. I would recommend this for a date or a family meal, either lunch or dinner is amazing. We ordered the lasagna which was DELICIOUS, one of the best I’ve ever eaten and the pannacotta was also out...

There are 3 words to describe this place: Amazing customer service! From the moment we arrived we felt like regulars there in spite of this was our first time in there. We ordered one item from the chefs recommendation and it was superb, the frutti di mare was different but good, tricolore salad was a good surprise but the lasagna felt very commercial not fresh! Everything else was great but the lasagna! The desserts...
