"You’ll see decades-old Italian institutions like Prego in many major cities; it’s the type of place that seems to steal a whole day, as one bottle of rosé turns to two on the sunny patio. Equal parts see-and-be-seen and family favorite, Prego keeps Aucklanders coming back for oversize plates of shrimp and mussel pasta marinara and crispy-crusted pizzas. The star is the classic Prego Pie, a flaky pastry filled with fish or lamb (depending on the season) that’s best enjoyed on said patio beneath an oversize umbrella. — HE" - Hillary Eaton, Leisha Jones
