Prego's just revamped its menu on 22 February 2010. Only the pasta selection has changed a fair bit, the rest are about the same. Best of all, prices have mostly stayed the same. They probably changed the menu in accordance with the seasonal pickings.
1) Minestrone di Verdure e Legumi ($15), rustic and hearty mixed vegetable tomato-based soup. Very good.
2) Zuppa di Funghi con Bianca e Olio Tartufato ($15), cream of mushroom soup with truffle oil and bianca garnish. This was really good, creamy and rich and full of mushroomy-goodness
3) Risotto al Funghi Porcini e Bottoncini con Spinaci ($33), a traditional Italian rice dish with sauteed porcini and button mushrooms and spinach. This was lusciously creamy and incredibly delicate.
4) Maccheroncelli all Amatriciana ($24), short tube pasta tossed with pancetta, onion, chili and tomato salsa. The pasta is made fresh in Prego's kitchens daily, which explains the evident freshness of the perfectly al dente pasta. I'm not a fan of tube pasta, but this was very yummy. Especially the sauce and pancetta.
5) Porcini e Gamberi ($27), wood-fired thin-crust pizza topped with porcini mushrooms and prawns. I loved how light and crispy the pizza was. This is one pizza that you'll be guaranteed to finish the crust.

I'm usually not one for appetizers, but this place boasts one of the best Mozarella Cheese sticks in town!
The pastas are of good quality too!

When it comes to Italian cuisine, you can never be far removed from top quality with Prego.
Without first mentioning the cheery decor and spacious dining area, Prego's portions are just right. For mains, a couple of us had a go at the rack of lamb and linguine pescatore. In the latter, you get an abundant quantity and variety of seafood such as mussles, clams and prawns to go with the delectable pasta and light and refined gravy. Turning to the lamb, quite frankly but for the price tag, its perfect tenderness would leave you yearning for another rack. I also observed that the wood-fired pizzas seemed to be popular choices amongst the patrons when I was there.
For dessert, the kahlua flavoured ice cream coated with crushed cookies and draped in caramel is a clear winner. The tiramisu also merits mention.
