News About Prego

For the past 28 years Prego has been serving honest Italian food combining the highest quality imported ingredients and local seasonal products, complemented by carefully chosen wines, creative cocktails and exceptional customer service.  As we embark upon a new chapter in the life of Prego, we aim to further our reputation as one of the leading voices in the ever growing community of chef-driven restaurants here in Houston.   We have added a few new menu items including a beautiful pan roasted Branzino filet topped with Texas grapefruit and Gulf crabmeat.  In addition, we are offering several vegan items on the menu and have a delicious gluten-free pasta, made in Italy by Molino di Ferro, available upon request.  And don’t forget to try our signature Red Snapper Special topped with mouthwatering jumbo crab-fingers, oven dried tomatoes and our delicate bianco sauce.  Prego continues to support local Texas businesses as we have for years.  We are excited to have partnered with a local recycling company as we work to reduce our carbon footprint.  Prego sources all of our mushrooms from Kitchen Pride Mushroom Farms located in Gonzales, TX.  In addition, we only use Texas farm eggs, local Texas spinach and grass-fed naturally-raised Texas beef.  As always, Prego will be featuring different seasonal dishes off the menu.  Whether it be grass-fed Texas Bison with truffle butter or our fresh Soft Shell Blue Crabs  straight from the Gulf of Mexico, we guarantee Chef John Watt will continue to be at the forefront of Houston’s culinary movement, creatively accentuating the quality ingredients that define Prego’s cuisine.

To show our support for our local farmer’s market, Prego and our other sister restaurants, Hugo’s, Trevisio and Backstreet Café, have begun participating in the Urban Harvest Market.  Urban Harvest promotes healthy communities, sound nutrition and respect for the environment. Visit the farmers market on Saturdays for locally grown fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, cheeses, honey, and much more! Each Saturday one of our restaurants will be out there serving up tasty bites of new menus items, seasonal favorites and promoting a great community movement. Come join us! The market is located in the parking lot behind 3000 Richmond.

   Prego is now serving brunch Saturday and Sunday with live jazz all day every Sunday.  Danny McNight starts the day off with soothing jazz guitar as you enjoy a refreshing Blood Orange Mimosa and in the evening let Mickey Moseley and Ray Wilson serenade you over the perfect bottle of wine.  We have classic brunch favorites such as our delicious Cinnamon-Pecan Waffle with scrambled eggs, housemade Berkshire pancetta and green onions.  As well as Prego signature dishes like our South of the Border Calzone and Petit Filet of Beef with Truffled Scrambled Eggs.  Don’t forget to try one of our new Prosecco Floats or a delicious Affogato.
