Visited on 28 Feb 2016 and 11 Sep 2016 (Sun).

Prego has been around for so long since 2007 and we finally decided to give it a try on their Sunday Brunch Buffet. 

Prego is an Italian Trattoria and is one of Singapore’s favourite Italian restaurants that offer diners an authentic Italian family style dining experience. Chef Antonio Facchinetti has recently revamped the whole menu. Pamper your palates with a refreshing Italian Sunday Brunch featuring a lavish array of marinated antipasti, Italian farm cheeses, as well as pasta and risotto prepared à la minute. 

A pleasant culinary surprise awaits as the seasonal bars showcasing classic favourites like Wagyu Beef Carpaccio with Truffle Bread Crumble changes every month. From perfectly-grilled Salmon Fillet to Lamb Rack and Beef Sirloin, take your pick at the ‘live’ station and delight in succulent meats and seafood at leisure, as their master chefs serve you at your table. Other highlights include a seasonal dessert bar and ‘live’ station that showcases the best Italian produce. 



Waiting area - You can take a seat at the sofa if you're early. Their procedure here: Tell them your reservation details upon arrival and they will write on a small paper at their counter to note the queue order.


You will be greeted by the dessert station when you enter the restaurant.



These are the front sofa seats facing dessert station area.


This is the 2nd seating area (Non-Sofa seat)


Note: The Live Band has ceased since Aug 2016
And this is the 3rd seating area, with sofa and non-sofa seats. Here is also where the live band section is, for those who love to listen to live music performances while eating. And surprisingly, although we were sitting in front of the live band, it was not noisy at all. We can still comfortably hear each other talking. The music volume was not loud so don't be afraid to sit here. 

An awesome live performance by the band of that day, with Vocalist - Ms Lou Pei Xin from the Channel 5 singing competition "The Final 1 - Season 2".  Very soothing vocals! It was really a pleasure to listen to while enjoying the buffet! 


And these are the seats in the last seating area.

Overall Impression: It depends on which staff serving you, some were infectiously cheery while some were without any smile. We were lucky to be served by a staff "Linda" who was very efficient and always with a smile on 11 Sep 2016!

We were really awed by the huge place and the huge food selection here, with many antipasti, tasty salad, ala-carte pasta and so many other main dishes to choose from. We didn't have enough stomach space to try out their many pasta dishes as pasta are very filling but it's their signature, so do try their pasta if you can! Desserts were mostly very good too! Overall, good quality food and desserts at Prego!

They used to have a live band that made the whole dining experience a very great one. Now without the live band seemed a tad dull. Nevertheless, the nice food and desserts still made a very enjoyable Sunday Brunch for our dining experience here. Do give it a try if you're craving for some authentic Italian cuisine!
