Prego by the Beach — Restaurant in Ratsada

The view at this restaurant overlooks the private beach for the Westin.

We went here for dinner and split a bottle of Rose, being provided bread with olive oil and balsamic as light eats while we awaited our appetizer and main meal.

Our appetizer was bruschetta which had extremely fresh bread, lately toasted, with fresh cut tomatoes and drizzled balsamic. Unfortunately no pictures were taken.

My wife got the mushroom tortellinis in a white cream sauce and I got the bucatini carbonara. The side we got was the truffled potatoes which paired extremely well with the mushroom cream sauce in my wife's dish.

For dessert my wife got the tiramisu and I got the pistachio ice cream and both were absolutely delicious.

The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming, and made sure we had a cart back to the room...

Quiet upscale restaurant where you can hear the waves crashing softly on the beach while enjoying fine italian food.

We were one of only two couples in the restaurant this night.

We had a "dinner pack" included in our room package and could choose 3 courses from a simplified menu. The courses was much simpler than ordinary menu but still tasty. We got seared tuna for starter, chicken confit for mains and italian ice cream for dessert. Yummi.

But the main menu has much more variety and delicious courses...

Prices are high (for thailand) with pastas for 500++, mains 500-700++ and a glass of vine for 500++, sparkling water for 300++ but then again this is a high end resort so not unexpected.

++ Means vat and...

Tried the less formal version of Prego.. Prego by the beach. More like a pool side eatery with it's formality and loud pop music. The buffet was set up to celebrate the Thai Songkran festival so there's still some instances of people shooting water guns at each other. Foodwise, the BBQ seafood n meat were pretty good, especially the beef kababs and grilled squid/prawns. The aglio aglio pasta wasn't half bad either with strong flavours of garlic and Thai basil. Still, it's wasn't really that Italian in the overall sense to be honest. Rkn will try the proper Prego...
