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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

I cannot say enough about how excellent this meal was. Prego had me at fried polenta! Beautiful atmosphere, a cool bar, white tablecloths, all the right touches. Service was extraordinary. It was so evident that the staff members all help one another, none of the "oh, this is not my table" stuff. The owner is there making sure everything is perfect. All of the meals were delicious and beautiful. The softshell crab dinner with pasta was simply outstanding; sole Francese was gorgeous and I took half of it home; a generous portion of lasagna was delicious, and the pork osso bucco just fell off the bone. We were so full, we skipped dessert. But our server brought my dad Tiramisu because she heard us toasting his 89th birthday. My family has lived in the Burlington/Elon area for 50 years and I visit regularly. I have been impressed by a few of the restaurants in the past... but not like this. Among the very top restaurants in the area and I should be keeping it myself so I can get a reservation every time I am back!
