Prego - 11550 Ciudad de México

Best Italian place in Mexico City. I always come here and sit outside on a nice sunny day when I come to Mexico City. Well priced wine selection with an excellent salmon tartar and risotto. Great for lunch and dinner with a highly attentive staff.

The pastas were good but stay away from the risotto. It was undercooked. The tiramisu was ok, but do not order the Orange souffle, as it was delayed even though we ordered it early, and it collapsed beyond reason. The service was inconsistent.

There are 3 words to describe this place: Amazing customer service! From the moment we arrived we felt like regulars there in spite of this was our first time in there. We ordered one item from the chefs recommendation and it was superb, the frutti di mare was different but good, tricolore salad was a good surprise but the lasagna felt very commercial not fresh! Everything else was great but the lasagna! The desserts were amazing.

The food was outstanding. Rich, creamy ravioli and the Carpaccio (thinly sliced filet mignon) was cooked exactly as it should be. It was like a little bit of Italy in Mexico. The reason for a 4 star and not a 5, was the waiter. He seemed to only want to converse with one person in our party. It made for a little bit of discomfort among the rest of us. The other staff were very courteous and professional.

Avoid if you want authentic Italian. Or even tasty Italian. Food: 1* Everything but food was really good. For me, though, restaurants are weighted towards food. +The bread served table side, with 3 choices were actually pretty good, but I don't think they make it in house. The thin pieces were a little weird with dried herbs, but the cheese was good on it. +Cheese seems authentic. -All pasta, the backbone of Italian, tasted like from boxes--perhaps the boxes that are touted with such pride in the back? Not only from a box but overcooked, and like another reviewer said, mushy. The ravioli is TINY. Mine was about quarter size, or about 10peso coin size--the cheese shavings were bigger! -Meat was tasteless. Nice chunk, looked tasty, but no flavor. -Sauces are average or below. Red sauce tasted from a jar or can. They could well have made it, but it didn't have any depth and they did a surprisingly good job of emulating jarred sauce... The Madeira sauce tasted heavily of flour. Service: 4* Very nice, attentive service that wasn't in your face. Discreet. Spoke some English. Ambiance: 3.5* It's nice, was pretty empty when we got here (only one other table), but the pictures on Yelp do make it look nicer. All in all, the experience wasn't bad, but the food was kinda atrocious, especially for the relative price in the area. I would definitely not recommend when there are so many other good places to eat.

Very nice Italian restaurant in Polanco. Classic Italian cuisine, everything was tasty and well cooked. Great desserts

Was good but not great, the attention of everyone there is awesome but I was expecting a tastier pizza. The place was really peaceful and great to have a nice chat.

The food is good, the bread ah y the bread was delicious, all the other main dishes were all good, but I wouldn't say it was great because the price was very high in terms of what it consisted. We paid a little over 3000 pesos for four people. The service was good but lacked genuineness, it felt like all they wanted was to offer was to jack the bill up.
