When I was told homemade pasta of course I was sold on a first dinner with my new company. Came in with a small group. Super friendly folks. Made sure I was greeted while waiting. They seemed to know everyone. We started with the fried polenta along with the fresh bread. Wish the oil had a bit more seasoning but nice little start to the meal For my meal I had the chicken parm which was a huge portion along with the fettuccine. My coworkers said it was homemade I had to try the pasta. It was great. Nice wide noodles with plenty of seasoning. read more

We went for our anniversary dinner and had a wonderful time! The table was decorated with anniversary confetti, which was a nice touch, and our waitress Ashley was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. The food was delicious, portions were generous, and drinks were tasty. We really enjoyed our time at Prego's and will definitely be back!! read more

Wonderful meal. Generous complimentary polenta & bread starter with seasoned olive oil. I chose the Oysters Rockefeller as a starter, which was a special for the night. Fresh & delicious with lots of cheese. Penne Alla Vodka as an entree which was also amazing. The portion size was very impressive and the flavors blended together so well. The fresh cheese and black pepper served upon arrival was a lovely touch. I can't wait to enjoy this again. Thank you Prego's! Can't wait to return. read more

Today was my first time at Prego's. I was in Burlington for work and the restaurant was recommended. It was delicious and a great lunch! I ordered the Veal Marsala with pasta and a minestrone soup. The flavors of everything were excellent! The restaurant was beautifully decorated and would make a great date spot. The servers were attentive and brought out more bread right away. Definitely recommend and can't wait to go back! read more

Pregos is our absolutely favorite restaurant. We've been coming here for years to celebrate special occasions. They never disappoint. We celebrated our 45th anniversary there tonight. The halibut special was to die for; my husband got his favorite veal Marsala - all perfect. We always appreciate the drinks by the bar staff - wonderful - and their wine selection is a plus. We recommend this restaurant to everyone looking for a special meal!! read more

Quite attractive restaurant and friendly service. The portions of food were certainly large, but I would have preferred smaller servings of better quality. Calamari as shared appetizer were large pieces and very chewy. I'd give that dish a low rating. Other main courses were acceptable but not memorable. The list of nightly specials was good in that it gave additional options. Would have been nice if prices were included however. Overall, an average dining experience. I'm somewhat offended by a 4% fee to use a credit card- I think that the food and drink prices should include this- so raise prices if necessary. Also, there's a suggested tip table- on the high end it's 35%. That is actually close to 39% if calculated on the pre-tax, pre-credit card subtotal. On the lower end, 20% is suggested. That's over 22%. So the restaurant is suggesting diners tip between 22% and 39%. That is not the new normal in my opinion. read more

Food and ambiance are delicious HOWEVER the restaurant cannot handle capacity. Waited one hour for food after being seated, my friends martini was explained as number 29 in line and no pasta offered as a side because the customer was not asked their preference. All this topped with rude service, actually defensive and argumentative service leads to a no go for us. read more

I visited here for a working lunch. Ambiance was delightful! I was very surprised. From the welcome message on the marquee by the road, I can tell they recently moved to this location. It's absolutely beautiful! The service was great and very professional. The warm bread and fried polenta are complimentary. The chicken parmigiana was HUGE for a lunch plate. It was enough for two! I had enough left over for another meal. He chicken was blanketed with mozzarella, yet still had the proper crispness beneath. The tomato sauce was good as well. My coworker had the soup and the chicken pallard. She kept raving about the soup. It looked amazing!!! My other coworker had the penne alla vodka and she said it was delicious - also a lot of food. I would definitely return for a romantic dinner with my hubby. read more

The food was great! It has a really nice and calm environment. Our server was AWESOME! He handled 15 people wonderfully by himself. I got the fried mozzarella. I thought it would be like mozzarella sticks, but it was actually in bread and fried like a fried sandwich. The bread was really good as well as the carbonara. It was really creamy! I do wish I had gotten the risotto though because it was even better! (A friend got it). The experience for my daughter's birthday was amazing! read more

Good atmosphere wish there was more privacy. Food is delicious for what I have tried.

Where do I start... Food AWESOME Ambiance AWESOME Service AWESOME There are no words to describe how amazing this place is, everyone treats you as if you are family. Our server Christian was amazing, being our 1st time here, he gave us recommendations and time to decide what we wanted. A week later, we came back and had Christmas Eve dinner with our girls and again, everything was perfect. I absolutely love this place read more

All the food is amazing all the time! The staff is friendly and the place is beautiful. Would recommend to anyone in Burlington.

After walking in you forget you're in a space off one of the busiest thoroughfares in Burlington. The decor and ambiance convey a fine dining style with a hint of "this is going to be good". Pro tip: Don't read the menu. Wait for the specials. For this trip the specials sounded awesome. I just had something else in mind for lunch. We received warm crusty bread followed by a peppered olive oil dipping sauce. Now, this good southern gal loves butter. Not a pat to be found. Nor did I ask. After a couple bites of bread swirled in oily deliciousness, the waiter placed a small plate of tan cubbed oddities in front of us. Crispy outside. Creamery chewy inside with a hint of graininess. Yup! Fired polenta cubes. No pic. I forgot to take one and forgot about the butter. Entree comes with a soup or salad. I selected a Caesar. Crisp lettuce. Not over dressed. Pro tip: Ask for the fresh cracked pepper. The waiter brings cheese & pepper grinder out together. He/she readily offer the cheese and moves to the next person. There is no starting back at the beginning asking if you want pepper. Entrees? Very good. Food comes out quickly and hot. The menu seems super simple; however you can customize your pasta dish with any available protein or veg. Be creative! The lunch prices are reasonable so treat yourself a few times a year to tasty homemade pastas and/or sauces. I ordered the penne alla vodka with chicken as my entree. The pasta dish was crowned with tender juicy chunks of chicken. The rich sauce was the perfect consistency. Loose enough for me to stir in my chicken and not too thick as to leave a clumpy mess in the bowl. There is bacon in this dish and you can taste it. The smokiness of the bacon piece were a nice pop of flavor that cut through the sauce. Yes, a very generous portion. I visited this restaurant once many, many moons ago when they were located near what used to the the "Sears end" of the mall. It was a company lunch. Food was good. I never went back. I didn't have a bad experience but it wasn't that memorable either. The current location will definitely be part of my 2023 lunch rotation. read more

Pretty decent for North Carolina all ingredients seem to be pretty local. Great ambiance inside and very nice service.

Excellent food and service. Have eaten there quite a few times and it doesn't ever disappoint.

I worked in a restaurant that substituted pork for veal. Very unethical. This place does that. My wife got sick from the pork. We will never go there again and would not recommend it to anyone. read more

Pregos is a stand out Italian restaurant in a city of mediocre. A couple of my favorites are the Prosciutto salad or the chicken piccata. The service is friendly but doesn't hover. Recently more tables were added making reservations more necessary than before. Lots of regulars! Highly recommended! read more

The service was impeccable. And the atmosphere / decor was lovely. Coupled with the delicious food, we will definitely return!

Prego's is a great local Italian restaurant that has been around for years in Burlington. They have been in their new location for a few years now and they really did a great job making the inside very classy and inviting. They have a "private" room that you can reserve - it's an extra $50 - but just note that unless you have around 25 people you can't reserve it on a weekend night. I have, however, reserved it for evenings during the week for business dinners (~around 10 to 12 people), and it's a great option. On this night, we made reservations on a Friday to celebrate my oldest daughter's birthday. There were 9 of us, and while we couldn't get the private room, they did honor our request to be seated in that room; we just had to share with some other tables :-). Our server, Christian, was just absolutely phenomenal. He was polite, attentive, and was wonderful with my 5 year old granddaughter. I could write an entire glowing review just about him! When I made reservations, I requested that bread and app orders of calamari and the empanadas be on the table as soon as we arrived. They weren't quite ready right away, but Christian made sure they were brought out very quickly. The empanadas were awesome - we had to order another plate of them - and the calamari was also excellent. The bread was hot and delicious, and was served with dipping oil. For entrees, I ordered the featured Pork Chop Marsala. It was a thick pork chop stuffed with mozzarella and prosciutto (I believe) and topped with a delicious marsala sauce. Wow it was good!! I really liked the fact that I was able to order the pork chop with veggies as my side instead of pasta. My two sons ordered the shrimp diavolo (one extra spicy and one normal heat) and they both destroyed their food! Other entrees included chicken broccoli alfredo (delicious), salad with crispy chicken (good reports on that), chicken marsala (yummy), and lasagna. The lasagna, oddly enough, is the reason for only 4 stars. My husband ordered that and was disappointed that it had too little meat or cheese, and lacked a true hearty lasagna flavor. It is also worth noting that the chef was quite accommodating to my granddaughter, who wanted spaghetti noodles with butter only. Christian also brought her lots of lemon wedges when he discovered that she loves the sour taste of them! We also brought our own birthday cake...Christian cut and served the cake for us. He really went above and beyond. The bottom line here is that we had a really fun evening with great food, and the only disappointment was the lasagna. Price point is fair for what you get. I would recommend this restaurant. read more

Anything good that you hear about this place, believe it all! The brightness of the dining room was great! We were seated promptly and were served drinks and complimentary bread/polenta. Loved the olive oil mixture that came with the complimentary items. The tables had paper covering them so my niece could draw on it while we were waiting to order. It was lunch but I wanted an appetizer, they brought the dinner menu. I could order anything from the dinner menu as well, including the specials. I was a little disappointed that they did not have bruschetta but didn't give it one more thought when I tasted the calamari. The calamari was one of most tender, flavorful appetizers I have ever had, I could've ordered another one and just ate that for lunch. I ended up ordering the Veal Parmigiana. Wonderful, wonderful dish!! The complimentary salad that came with the dish was delicious, whatever that house dressing is with the balsamic vinegar made that salad amazing. The veal was so big it almost covered the entire plate and it was served with pasta with marinara sauce. I'm not sure I spoke to anyone at my table when I started eating. The veal was tender, perfectly fried and had the perfect ratio of melted mozzarella on it. I ate half of my dish and ordered a tres leches cake slice. Great first experience! I will absolutely drive to come back here again, sooner than later. read more

Food was excellent ,price was very reasonable,the atmosphere was very relaxed ,you weren't rushed between courses.

Prego's not only was a beautiful and exquisite venue for our sorority's luncheon, but the service was truly exceptional. The attentiveness, kindness, and consideration of the staff went far beyond the call of duty and truly exceeded all expectations. Our arrival was earlier than anticipated, yet the staff welcomed us into the lobby and made whatever accommodations that were necessary. The food was hot, served in a timely manner and was simply delicious. The quick responses and attentiveness to details throughout the planning process insured a top quality service on the day of our luncheon. I highly recommend Prego's and look forward to many more visits. read more

Food, service and ambiance ***** 5 stars!!!! No other words needed. Food is absolutely delicious!

From the minute you walk in, the exemplary service begins! The added bonus was the food was as good, if not better than the service! My husband had classics: Caesar Salad and Chicken Parm. I had the specials: Burrata, Prosciutto, Tomatoes & Arugula and my entree was grilled Grouper with a lemon butter, caper sauce. Fantastic! Highly recommend. We will be back! read more

My wife and I came here for our 14th anniversary. Its nice to see the staff all dressed nice and uniform. It gives off a really fancy atmosphere but at the same time it wont break the bank. The staff was so nice, I missed businesses that value your patronage and this place the staff makes you feel valued. The inside is beautiful and we got seated right away. Bread and salads came out immediately. Our server was awesome, he had the menu and specials memorized as well as drinks and dessert. He was attentive but not annoying. Our drinks were always full and he made to check on us. They will offer a wine list but they also do have a full bar. The food is excellent. We both had the chicken parm and its the best I've had in awhile. I recommend you dress nice because it suits the ambiance of the place but its not required. My wife wore a nice dress and I wore button up shirt with jeans. Highly recommend anytime but really nice for special occasions like dates, anniversary or a celebration. Can't wait to go back! read more

Upon entering the restaurant it is very clean with white tablecloths. Lunch started off with bread and fried polenta. Delicious. Then came salad which was very good, but points came from an ice-cold salad plate. Luch itself was stunning. I had veal plicata in lemon sauce with noodles. The lemon sauce was perfectly made as you could feel the fresh lemon juice balanced properly. The serviced was on spot. Christian was our server. This has got to be the best restaurant in Burlington. I look forward to returning. read more

You should dress nice. Food is very good. Service is very good. The experience for the location is above average. It's not really 5 star but not 4 store either. Right in between. I'm part Italian from NY so it doesn't knock my socks off. I could mimic most the dishes but it's not run of the mill either. The quality is there. NC is more about quality over quality. You won't get a bad dish here. Hope this is helpful read more

I met a friend here for lunch. We were the only customers in the entire place which I found strange. The dining area was set up really nicely but the food was only okay in my opinion. I started with Caesar salad and then got the meatballs. The meatballs themselves were flavorful but the pasta that accompanied it was lacking in flavor. read more

A four star review (from me) is a very good review. My guests and I really enjoyed the food, great apps, and 4 out of five us us liked their meals. Its a really nice place, and I think the party for a 60th birthday overwhelmed them. Still, we will be back in our travels. read more

A family fave but unfortunately one person in our party recently had a bad experience with poorly prepped chicken breast in a pasta dish. Something hard and vascular ruined the dish partway through. Told the Owner who said he would speak to the kitchen. Insufficient IMO. read more

Had a Reservation, no table saved for us. Waiting over 15 minutes after getting there early, not acceptable.

I found this Okale on yelp after attending a college graduation. Thus was a jewel of a find. The food is excellent! The prices are extremely reasonable and the dessert is scrumptious. I will definitely frequent this place when I drive through again. We ordered chicken Alfredo with broccoli, chicken parmigiana, a seafood special, and ziti.. The bread was delicious. The food was amazing. The caramel cake was i ok e if the best desserts that U have ever had. They gave a nice wine list. Please try try h I s establishment! You will not regret it. read more

Ate there last night with two friends on their recommendation Welcomed heartily on arrival. Asked for a fairly quiet table as hard of hearing Accommodated willingly Ordered a carafe of house Montepulciano Very reasonably priced and delicious Fantastic calamari for an appetiser that we shared as the portion was generous Soft shell crab ( 3 ) with butter, caper and lemon sauce accompanied by sautéed spinach was really delicious also. My friends both enjoyed theirs very much too. Unfortunately too full for desert The service as attentive but not intrusive The restaurant was very clean and stylish without being overdone Very well priced restaurant As a visitor from the UK with property in Italy I felt as though I could be dining in Italy as everything very authentic read more

Amazing Italian. We always get the large salad and share it and lasagna. Great wine selection as well. Fabulous.
