Wow! We arrived early for our ferry home and with 2 hungry children we decided to venture locally for something to eat. We came across this lovely restaurant but sadly it wasn’t open yet. We didn’t have long before we needed to head off again but luckily they opened 10 minutes early for us and took our orders and served us our food. May I add this was one of the best places we have ever eaten. The kids pizza was delicious as were our pasta dishes. Reasonably priced too! They served us quickly so we didn’t miss our boat and we managed to order eat and pay within 30 minutes! Shame we had to rush but will definitely return next time when we have more time to enjoy the restaurant. Thank you so much

Absolutely fantastic Italian restaurant in every possible way! The staff are so attentive, friendly and accommodating. Especially as we have young children. And the food is just incredible - fresh, homemade and delicious. Every time we visit the IoW we always stop by Prego on our way home before the ferry crossing. Highly recommend & you won't be disappointed!

After a dreary day dodging rain what a great find in an unpromising area of town near the ferry. A warm welcome from a charming hostess and great food. I had a giant calzone which was delicious. Eat your heart out Cornish pasties. We were just visiting but if we were locals this would be a regular place to eat. Great food, great wine and good value.

This was our first visit as a group & we were told This restaurant was the ‘best Italian on the Island’ by another visitor. Well I haven’t been to any other Italians on the IOW but it would be hard to beat this one. I am lucky enough to visit Lake Garda CNN in Italy quite often & Prego would stand amongst the best out there!

L’ambiance est sympathique et il est possible de voir les cuisines ouvertes. Les pâtes sont bonnes et originales. En revanche, la pâte à pizza manque cruellement de goût. Les allumettes de jambon sont dommage lorsque l’on s’attend à des véritables tranches.

Went here when there was a very unusual incident with the police blocking off the road opposite the restaurant that night and I couldn't move my car. The food was delicious and the mocktails. But the best thing was the lady who was running it, she was very kind, allowed my daughter and I to stay in there way past finishing our food, for hours until we could move the car and giving us a free drink each. My daughter asked if we can go back when we next visit the Island, the incident didn't put her off.

Beautiful little restaurant in East Cowes. We had booked for a party of 8, but they managed to fit in a couple more people at the last minute. The place is small but doesn’t feel cramped, due to strategic placing of tables. We ordered a variety of pizzas, pastas and risottos, and every one was voted extraordinarily good by group members. The staff are attentive without being intrusive, and the whole experience was delightful. Will definitely return!

What a fabulous find !!! This little gem of a restaurant was recommended to us and I'm so glad it was!! We are staying aboard a boat on the medina and decided to opt for a takeaway, I have to say the service (from calling the order through to delivery) was first class !!! I am coeliac so it's always a worry but there were plenty of gluten free options available! I have a beautiful chicken and bacon rissoto and hubby chose pizza and chilli garlic bread (not gf) which he said was really good. Highly recommend and we will certainly be ordering from here again and hopefully will also visit in person

Well this was a pleasant surprise. In a small road tucked away in East Cowes is this tiny restaurant serving Italian dishes. Not just pizza and Pasta. Various salads and risotto's, but my Calzone was an absolute revelation. Book in advance due to the low number ofvtables, but they are really accommodating. Definitely going back.

This is a fantastic place for Pizza and Pasta. Cosy atmosphere to share great food with family and friends. The front of house staff were fantastic at accommodating requests. The table layout is fluid, so a walk-in of 8 was not turned away. Just a short walk from the marina and floating bridge. I highly recommend a visit.

What a great find, fantastic little place with the most beautiful food. I would suggest booking, although they did fit us in as we had a ferry to catch fairly soon! The food was SOOO good, and dough balls like I’ve never had before, we had the blue cheese ones! Really good for children as well (we have a 5 year old!) Food came quickly and was good value. It is a small place so would recommend booking, but if no space they did look like they did take away.

Absolute stars! Fitted us in at the last minute for an end of school treat. The food they consistently produce from such a tiny kitchen never fails to impress. Pizza dough is so fresh and soft with the right amount of chew. It's a simple but tasty choice for the kids and good value. Get the dough balls! The manager recognised us even though its been too long and service was impeccable. One of the few places on the island that has that relaxed homely local restaurant feel that treats locals, regulars, and visitors with the same friendly professional approach. See you soon x

Simply excellent 👌 one of the best meals I have had on the island, wild mushroom risotto was cooked perfectly and the seafood spaghetti was excellent. Garlic bread to die for... enough to share between two! We will return for sure, I think the empty plates says it all! 2023 update: still as good as the first time we ate here. Fantastic food. We had Penne Carne as a pasta and Risotto both were spectacular.

A great little Italian. Attracted by the prospect of gluten-free pasta we were delighted by the gamberri with gf fusilli and a lovely carbonara with regular pasta. Given the quality of the mains and the presence of a gluten-free chocolate tart on the dessert menu we stayed for pudding and both the tart and my tiramisu were also excellent. Soft drinks are good value with my glass of Sauvignon blanc slightly overpriced but good quality.

Lovely food service ☺️ Had an issue a while back where their website let me place an order and I then saw they were actually closed however was quickly refunded the following day and staff were very kind and helpful. Another time I ordered a pizza and was actually given a complimentary second one as the chef himself wasn't happy with what I received - that shows class. Excellent food, lovely staff and very nicely decorated inside - small and rustic :) The Christmas menu was also amazing, highly recommend the haddock risotto if it comes back!

Good atmosphere, friendly staff, good food. Funny how tiny things can ruin your experience. One of us asked for chilli oil. On the bill an extra £1 EACH was added for this. Now, as I say a tiny thing and mains are reasonably priced, but more than made up for by the price of drinks. Unfortunately this tiny extra charge for chilli oil may well stop us returning

Early evening meal with family, grandson only 6 but he likes good food. Very small restaurant but good things come in small packages. Great dough balls that just oozed filling to start with then risotto which I could have eaten all night and still wanted more. The pizza the others had was perfection, just enough cooking to get the base right and the topping was full of flavour (I pinched a bite off my grandson). The staff are so friendly and just want you to enjoy your meal. Whenever we are on the island we try and get to Prego for a meal because it is so good. One thing to know, there is only one toilet and it's a bit small.

We went to the place after looking at all these reviews. But the staff was rude and racist. The lady at the counter declined to seat us in a rude manner even when they had vacant seats. And then they allowed English family to get seats even when they didn't have reservations. It was clear that the lady was a bigot and racist.

Friendly local Italian in Carisbrooke which was walking distance from our holiday let so we gave it a try. Overall a pleasant enough dinner, £23 bottle of Sauvignon properly chilled, attentive service, free bread. Decor is rather dated though not as off-putting as photos had suggested, the pasta dishes were tasty and - oddly perhaps - came with a choice of salad or vegetables. The latter (including roast potatoes) would seem more fitting with a Sunday roast than a plate of penne but were nicely cooked and great if you want to really fill up. My chicken with pepper and seafood was a disappointment - somewhat dry chicken breasts in a gravy that wasn't nearly as rich as one might have hoped and generally lacked flavour despite some interesting ingredients. Perhaps I was unlucky. Certainly the place seemed popular and maybe I should have had a pizza.

Amazing food and service. My mum and I visited the Isle of Wight and I had read that this restaurant served gluten free food. We didn’t see that they had decided to close for lunch that day so I was so so disappointed as I had driven there for that reason. They decided to serve just my mum and me so we had the whole restaurant for ourselves, it was just the kindest thing and so so appreciated. The food was amazing. What a incredible service just truly grateful. Best place to eat.
