An iconic Ponsonby restaurant ! Service and food is always perfect . Great outdoor courtyard. The best risotto ! (among many other fabulous dishes!). Longtime eatery serving traditional & contemporary Italian dishes in a lively, laid-back atmosphere. You can’t call yourself a true Aucklander unless you’ve long lunched at Prego. This Italian eatery has well and truly stood the test of time and continues to cater to hungry diners looking for great pizza, pasta and wine.
