It's been a long time since my last visit to the restaurant, probably 5-6 years or more. I'm glad we decided to come here for my friends’ last night on the island, as we enjoyed a great meal and a good time with superb service from the entire staff. We were well taken care of by Khun Karen, who was our main host for the night. Everyone who passed by our table checked in to ensure we had a wonderful time. The staff even recognized me even though it's been a big while. Such warm and thoughtful service—I only wish I could have visited Prego more often in the past. Thanks to the whole team, from kitchen to the front, for such a great evening. We’ll definitely come back more often.
We visited Prego around 6PM on a Sunday. It was a nice, relaxed time for an early dinner, so we were quickly seated in the comfortable air-conditioned section.
A huge shout-out to our server, Ms. Aor 🏆💯 Before even offering the menu, she thoughtfully asked if we had any food allergies or dietary restrictions, which made us feel incredibly well taken care of from the start! She was friendly, attentive, and gave excellent recommendation. The Aperol Spritz was excellent and served in a much larger glass than other restaurants—definitely a win! We loved the complimentary bread, followed by our choice of appetizers calamari and arancini, which arrived fresh and hot. The Slow Roast Pork and Spaghetti Bolognese were both delicious and very generous portions. We were so full by the end that we had to skip dessert! Great food, wonderful service, and a lovely atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.
Lovey, the service was impeccable and very high quality - made you feel special. The food was delicious, the problem was choosing something off the menu because I wanted to order 5 different dishes they all looked so good. Also great gluten free options for my sister. I would love to come back and try more. Aor also provided lovely friendly service with a great smile and that always makes the experience even better 😊
The Prego, which belongs to Amari,
is an excellent restaurant.
If you like nice and attentive service staff, really tasteful food and good drinks in a pleasant atmosphere.
Then you should visit it! 😉
The prices are rather in the higher segment, but you also get something for it! 👍🏻
We can recommend it and would love to come back! 😊
Honestly, I came here just expecting a good pizza and ended up having one of my favorite dinners in Koh Samui. The pizza was insanely good, the atmosphere felt super relaxed and cozy, and everything just matched the vibe of the island perfectly. Also, the staff were genuinely kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. One of those places you leave already thinking about coming back. 🍕🌴✨
