An outstanding setting for relaxed drinks, antipasti, and meeting with friends, family and colleagues in the heart of Cardiff.

I’ve been to Prego a couple of times for a glass of wine with friends and my experience has been always lovely! I love this place! Very Italian! Italian wines, nice olives and tasty pizzas. Lovely staff as well 🙂 I really like it! I’ll be back soon!

“WINNING WINE LIST”

We visited on Saturday and had such a lovely time here. If you like good wine then this is the place to visit. The host Patricia made us feel so welcome and her service was second to none. If you haven’t been then get it on your list!

“WHAT A FIND!!!”

What a find!!! Seen this place a few times, but first time we ventured inside. Won’t be the last. Amazing service from the moment we opened the door all the way through to getting the bill. Only planned to have a quick drink, but that turned into 3 bottles of wine. Fabulous place, fabulous service.
