"Prego has been serving Italian food since the ‘80s and has the feel of rewatching your favorite sitcom—it’s a predictable comfort. The diners, who are mostly regulars, know what to order—and are usually snuggled into their tables with a plate of veal scallopini dusted in fresh parmesan. All of the surprises get saved for the end of the meal when a parade of rotating desserts gets showcased on a cartoonishly large wooden board (fingers crossed that they haven’t run out of tiramisu).

"Longtime Italian restaurant Prego announced that its last day of service will be May 31, according to the Chron. Despite intentions to reopen in a new location at 5515 Kelvin, Prego revealed that those plans were canceled and that there are no plans to open elsewhere. The Italian restaurant was a fixture of the Rice Village community for more than four decades." - Courtney E. Smith
