Prego

Prego has earned its place as one of Auckland’s most enduring restaurants, where timeless Italian cooking, generous hospitality and a lively Ponsonby Road atmosphere continue to draw a loyal crowd. Whether you're dropping in for a quick lunch or settling in for a long evening, the service is polished, personable and effortlessly efficient. Start by sipping on a Passionfruit Caipiroska as you peruse the menu. The confit garlic pizza bread is incredibly moorish before moving on to the iconic risotto all'anatta with roast duck, mushroom medley, aged balsamic and Grana Padano, a dish that has stood the test of time for good reason. No visit is complete without finishing with the restaurant’s classic tiramisu. Backed by an excellent wine list, quality cocktails and consistently warm service, Prego continues to prove why it remains a favourite for locals and visitors alike.
