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.

3.5 rounded up to a 4…read more Burlington's restaurant choices are limited. This is a good choice if you're super hungry and need a date location in Burlington. We were seated within 5 minutes and our server was attentive and nice. Cozy ambience with low romantic lighting. Great for a date. Love all the beautiful flowers in the outdoor garden near the entrance. Food was very tasty but also very rich and heavy. Portions are large so you may want to order a lunch portion if you're not bringing a huge appetite. My Chicken Parmagiano was delicious but 3 people could have split it (I wasn't super hungry). My partner's Alfredo (he added shrimp) was too oily for his taste, but it was good. We both felt sluggish and needed a nap after eating which is not our norm; we generally eat lighter dishes like salads. I recommend that the restaurant start adding a birthday dessert or something special for guests celebrating their birthday at the restaurant.

The staff here is delightful and sweet. They try really hard to help with questions you might have…read more The food is... ok? Not great, it's perfect for elderly people who can't have much spice or salt. It's quiet and relaxed and has a good amount of tables. Since Burlington doesn't have much Italian restaurants open on Sunday, this is probably the only option. I can't say I'd come back though. The pasta is all angel hair even though the menu says spaghetti. I expect multiple types of pasta at an Italian restaurant. So that's disappointing.

Hidden Gem of Burlington!…read more This place doesn't look like much from the outside. It is tucked away in the corner of a strip mall. I could barely find it even though we were looking for it. Once inside I was surprised to see that there weren't many people around. Thursday night is $3 glass of wine night so I expected to see a bigger crowd for dinner. Luckily we nearly had the place to ourselves and were able to pick any place to sit. The waitress was so genuine and welcoming. We enjoyed our $3 wine and I ordered an item from the daily special menu, steak and shrimp with a side of spaghetti and minestrone. The ol lady had fettuccini Alfredo with chicken and broccoli. The food was flooring. It was so incredibly tasty. No steak sauce needed, shrimp was perfect, and the angel hair pasta side was also delicious. We were given large enough portions that I was able to finish off my ladies fettuccine. Food was fairly priced and we will certainly be back!

The marinara was on the sweet side, almost as sweet as Filipino-style or Spanish-style sauce, and it was very good. My wife enjoyed her chicken Philly sub and potato salad. My son's pasta actually had a legit meat sauce, something hard to come by in a typical Italian restaurant. It's better than most of what we have in GSO for Italian offerings. I highly recommend stopping by!
