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!

Generous complimentary polenta & bread starter with seasoned olive oil.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

Pork Chop - the inside goodness!

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.

Complimentary polenta cubes
Ashlee J.

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.

Piedmont Ale House is a neighborhood bar and grill tucked away into an unassuming strip mall. They…read morehave a small outdoor patio, the main seating area and bar, and a separate connected room with several larger tables for groups of four or more. My husband and I stopped in on a Thursday evening around 7pm and the place was pretty full. We sat ourselves at a table in the back room, and I noticed how laid back the place was, which is something I really appreciate. Sadly, it seemed that the relaxed vibe extended a bit too far and reflected on their cleanliness, as I noticed all of the chair rails were dusty, the floors a bit littered, our table sticky, and the plastic menus in need of replacing. Service, however, was wonderful. Our waitress was friendly and pretty attentive given how busy she was. My husband was happy with their on tap beer selection, deciding on Red Oak ($3 on Thursdays!). I went with a margarita and it wasn't the best, but thankfully I didn't pay much for it since it was also on special. They were out of the southwestern egg rolls I initially ordered, so I ended up going with the Philly cheesesteak and homemade chips. I enjoyed the cheesesteak's fresh bread; plenty of tender meat, peppers, and onions; and gooey cheese. It could have used more mayonnaise, but it was still quite good. The homemade chips were tasty but undercooked; if I had been hungrier, I definitely would have returned them and asked for a fresh batch. My husband absolutely devoured the cheeseburger and fries he ordered. He said that it was one of the best burgers he's had in quite a while, and this is a guy who loves burgers and eats them often. I want to return to Piedmont Ale House in the future. I think there are some things they seem to do really well, namely burgers and beer at really reasonable prices!

Everything was presented well, tasted good, and despite it being later in the evening, nothing about the meal or experience felt rushed or like we were getting the "end of the night" version of anything from them. Our server, Ty, was excellent. Professional, attentive, friendly, and simply good at her job. She stayed on top of everything without being too much, made sure we had what we needed, and helped make the entire experience enjoyable, which meant a lot to her since this was my nephew's first time here. The one area I'd improve is addressing the front door host area. Last night we stood there a bit longer than necessary, waiting for a hostess, before my nephew noticed the sign next to the stand telling guests to find their own seats. Once we saw it, no problem whatsoever. We grabbed a booth and carried on. BUT even better, if there isn't someone dedicated to the hostess stand later in the evening, a quick "Welcome in! Feel free to grab a seat anywhere" from someone nearby or working the bar (about 10-12 feet away from the front door) would immediately make the experience feel more intentional and welcoming. That's a relatively small issue, but it's also the difference between a very good (5-star) experience and a slightly lower one. Overall, good food, great presentation, and excellent service from Ty. She represented Drake's extremely well and absolutely deserves the recognition.
