Prego Deli in Test Valley

Visited this wonderful little gem for lunch today with friends.We try to meet here monthly for a Prego fix! Dave and Mandy work flat out but still have time to make you feel like 'special customer's '. The food is to die for and cooked on site to order even a take away box if you are over faced! The only negative is parking which applies to all of Stockbridge. We will be back soon.

My "go to" place in Stockbridge for lunch. I would go for dinner as well but that option is usually limited to once per week and by availability - there is none because everyone wants to be there for dinner. Dave and Mandy do an amazing job of providing exceptional quality Italian food & wine, with panache and promptly. I have had several lunches there over the last few years and have never been disappointed.

Wear river in Stockbridge hot and bothered. Sat outside the deli, whilst they prepared thd most sumptuous foccacia buns with salad and cheese. They were rushed off their feet, but still had time for each customer. Decaf tea excellent choice and my wife had Latte both really tasty. We will return next time we hit Stockbridge.

Dave creates the most amazing dishes, from his tiny kitchen space and creative genius, will dance on your taste buds. Mandy makes you feel like you are in there home, with friendy welcoming chat and a wealth of food and wine knowledge. Deffo book and don't miss out on this fantastic, independent restaurant 👌

Stopped for coffee and cannoli. Best coffee we have had for a long time. Other half normally has sugar. This coffee was sooooo smooth and flavoursome it needed nothing added. Lovely waitress explained ‘cannoli’. Decided on lemon - wasn’t disappointed. Nice quaint, atmospheric venue.

Fantastic fresh pasta, waitress was great, they really put the effort into the small details. Lovely atmosphere, and an open kitchen with the chef in.

A lovely evening at Prego. I had read the reviews and this was the first time I had been here. We chose from the specials menu, one of the dishes on the advice of the helpful waitress, and both mains were excellent. The cheesecake (one pistachio, the other caramel) was amazingly light and tasty. Good wine, good coffee. And a chat with each of the co-owners, Dave and Mandy. It's lovely to see entrepreneurs having an idea and then making it work, and these two have done this beautifully. We shall certainly be back.

Really delicious food, lovely friendly service, great choice of pasta. Dishes priced around £12-£18. This is a delightfully small independent restaurant full of character. I'll be back!

We popped in for a snack when having a mooch on Stockbridge High Street. The food is simply outstanding. We cannot recommend it enough. Modifications can be made to all meals. They also have an excellent selection of wines. The staff were welcoming and really knowledgeable about the food.

Heard raving reviews, and there were all spot on, it’s Just brilliant. Fresh and delicious food, great service. Thoroughly reccomend.

Amazing food, brilliant hosts and Daves cooking outstanding. You leave this restaurant with a warm fuzzy feeling and a yearning to come back

Never booked and was given a 4 seat table the food and service was exceptional and took the pups too without any issue and she was thoroughly spoilt too

Our first visit to Prego last year (when on holiday) was such a great experience we just had to come back. We live 1.5 hours away or we’d be regulars, because of Dave’s wonderful food and Mandy’s joyful service. This couple clearly really care that you have a great time, and enjoy good food, made to order with skill and the best ingredients. Today I had the corbonara, and I can honestly say that it’s the best I’ve ever had (and I’m not young!!). One companion’s need for gluten free pasta was met without fuss, and the other, who wanted a vegetarian meal, had plenty of options but was also told she could choose any item from the menu and it could be adapted for her. It’s such a joy to visit a place where it’s all about delighting the customer. We couldn’t have been happier - and we’ll be back.

We alway visit this lovely little restaurant when in Stockbridge, depending on our time limit. The host's are fantastic and make you welcome which you can see for yourself by the amount of return custom. I'm a chatter and love talking to fellow customers, most of which are return trade! I'm not a religious person but if there is such a thing as heaven on earth i think i may well have found it!!!!!!!

Dave and Mandy never fail to disappoint. They really helped make a special birthday celebration exactly that, special. The food was amazing, absolutely delicious and the service as always was fantastic. We couldn’t wait for our friends to try Prego and they loved it just as much we do. Dave and Mandy’s thoughtful touches, stunning food and impeccable service meant we had an amazing night. Visit Prego Dining & Deli, you will not be disappointed

We had a wonderful meal, as always. Mandy & Dave are the most hospitable of hosts and the food, freshly cooked by Dave, was utterly delicious. The coffee is also one of the best you can buy. I could not recommend more highly.

My mother has been here for lunch a couple of times now and has raved about it each time, so we went for lunch today and she was right! Amazing pasta, lovely staff and a nice atmosphere.

Visited this small but excellent pasta restaurant. All food home cooked fresh by the lovely and charming hosts Dave & Mandy. Our friends took us for the first time today and when we see them next we’ve insisted we go back. Book a table now!

Stopped by for gelato for the kids and had a coffee with my friend. The ambiance was magical and we received a warm welcome. There was elegance and charm in the restaurant, and the energy about the place was comforting and as if we’d been transported to somewhere other than England. The kids were delighted with the experience too.

Visited with our grandchildren for drinks and cake as we were staying in the area for a few days. Really warm welcome and both the owner and his wife made a fuss of our children which they really enjoyed . Lovely coffee and delicious chocolate cake.

Had an excellent birthday lunch. Perfectly cooked lobster and crab tortellini. They have a great selection of wines personally selected from the Garda region. Their choice and section makes the experience special.

Fantastic food and very decent wine. I even bought a bottle of Bifolco to take home. Owners were brilliant and good fun. This restaurant is a very special place.

Outstanding meal, service and atmosphere!! This place never fails to hit the spot. Our waitress was lovely and attentive, the food as ever stunning and the setting perfect!

Lovely lunch today for five of us, with friendly efficient service and delicious pasta and desserts. Our favourite restaurant in Stockbridge.

Wonderful food, great wine. Dave and Mandy were excellent hosts. Will definitely be back next time we are in Stockbridge. Mandy took the time chat to us and recommend the wine. We enjoyed it so much we took two bottles home for Christmas.

Prego is the best place in Stockbridge for hospitality and good food. Mandy and Dave put their heart and soul into giving customers the very best experience. I would highly recommend anyone booking a table and giving this place a try. My absolute favourite is their tiramisu.

Love it, love it, love it! Dave, Mandy and crew always offer a warm and friendly welcome. The ambiance is relaxed, informal and cozy. Dave’s food is excellent and the wine fantastic. We have been going to Prego since it opened and have never been disappointed. Another fantastic evening at Prego. A lovely way to kick off our Christmas holiday. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to Dave, Mandy and the team.

What can I say absolutely outstanding from the atmosphere to the food the whole place was such a beautiful place. The staff were so helpful always smiling and happy to help with our every need, we will be back in the new year for another beautiful meal. Merry Christmas and happy new year Prego Team

A regular spot for me on Saturday mornings. Coffee and scrambled eggs. Delicious and all with a warm welcome from owners and staff. Have also enjoyed the full dining experience here and such is the Italian restaurant's popularity that it's best to book a table and it's worth pointing out that this is not a pizza joint.

We came to Prego hoping to say hello to the angry abusive chef and we were met with fantastic warm hospitality, smiles and amazing food! We wasn’t even chased down the street!! Most disappointed :) We will be back!!

My wife and I have been going to this delightful little Italian restaurant for over 5 years and have always had excellent and delicious food. We cannot fault the service, although when it gets very busy you may wait a little longer. All food is cooked by Dave and the excellent standard is always consistent. Dave and Mandy are the perfect hosts and we would recommend this restaurant without hesitation. All we would say about any negative review is, just simply ignore them!

I went with my elderly mother and two teenage daughters. My mother had heard from a friend that it was supposed to be good so booked a table. Upon arrival we looked at the menu, which was very dated, all day breakfast or pasta - no vegetables or salads, and decided it wasn’t for us. We hadn’t ordered drinks or disrupted the table setting, so we stood up to leave. I told the waitress thank you, but it wasn’t really what we were looking for. She grunted at me but then the man interjected and started shouting at me. He told me they were very busy and we couldn’t just leave. I reminded him that it was the customer’s prerogative to do just that, especially if they were unimpressed by the menu. The man started shouting at the four of us and told us to get out and never come back! My mother was very upset by the experience, especially as the man continued shouting at us once we were on the high street. We went and had lunch at Time & Tide, which was lovely and more what we were looking for. Afterwards, as we walked back to our car, the man saw my daughters walking past (my mother and I were over the road in a shop) and he ran out and started screaming obscenities at the two girls and followed them menacingly down the street. They were extremely shaken. I can only guess that this man is extremely stressed, why else would he behave in such an aggressive and intimidating manner to two teenage girls, and why would he have such an extreme reaction to a table of four customers simply deciding to eat elsewhere. We were not rude in any way, in fact I thanked them and explained that it simply wasn’t what we wanted, but the abuse we had to endure was shocking! Steer well clear of this place! Rudeness doesn’t even begin to describe his behaviour - it was downright aggressive and bullying. What an absolutely horrible, frightening and intimidating experience.

By far the best restaurant around!! Food is wonderful- service is wonderful - atmosphere is wonderful. Thought twice about leaving a review as prefer to keep it to ourselves!!

From booking over the phone with the delightful Mandy through to our stunning meal, we couldn’t have been happier. Mandy & Dave have created a fantastic dining experience. They are so welcoming & real, the pasta was outstanding. We have eaten many meals in Italy...

Great food, fantastic personal service, great Italian recipes and quality wine ( I-recommend the BIFOLCO) what an amazing night

Dave is an excellent chef, he cooks in an open kitchen at the front of the bistro and everything is freshly made. The choice, presentation and taste of the different pasta dishes is excellent. Whilst it's a lovely idea to have a personalised touch, not...

Arrived in Stockbridge for the night but Prego was closed. The door was open so I went in and that pushy waitress persuaded me to come in this morning for their top of the range breakfast and a coffee. SO glad I did! Such a...

Lovely atmosphere, beautiful food, attentive staff, nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be back and will recommend it to friends.

Wanted to try somewhere new and based on the reviews chose here. Lovely ambience and welcome, the staff are lovely too. I was treating my friend to lunch, she chose the cheese platter which was beautifully presented, I went for the breakfast brunch option of...

Had an amazing evening at Prego. Dave and Mandy are outstanding hosts providing a friendly and very welcoming atmosphere. From what I saw everyone in there got equally fantastic treatment. On Dave’s recommendation I had the Lobster & crab tortellini with Prosecco cream sauce, it...

My friend and I I chose the carbonara pasta which consisted of pancetta and pulled chicken. The taste was outstanding and although we have both travelled extensively during our business careers, neither of us have tasted such wonderful pasta before. It was quite simply the...

A hidden gem in Stockbridge - this place is fantastic. A warm welcome from the owners and delicious freshly made food.

we LOVE lake Garda and we LOVE this place as Mandy and Dave get a lot of their authentic produce from Lake Garda they have a real passion for the itallian food, pastries, wine and oils. thye are soooo welcoming, always trying to accommodate you.....

This place is a hidden gem. Hosted by two genuinely lovely people Dave & Mandy who can’t do enough for you. Fantastic delicious home cooked Italian food, cooked in front of you by Dave. Wine & Coffee personally sourced by Dave & Mandy from Lake...

Honestly, the food is absolutely amazing! Blessed with some beautiful wine and owners are so so welcoming ! Even remembered me from our last visit, is that a good thing or a bad thing haha! Booked for December !

Excellent Comms - was contacted when a cancellation came up and so glad it did. Mandy & Dave are passionate about their restaurant and it shows from front of house through to the delicious food. We've been lucky enough to go to some very exclusive...

Had lunch here and it was a lovely experience. Four of us shared a meat platter to begin, followed by freshly prepared pasta dishes. The food was delicious and we felt valued as customers, we spent a very relaxed afternoon with friendly staff. We will...

Excellent food, excellent atmosphere and excellent staff. First visit but will definitely come again. Best seafood linguine I have had.

Outstanding fresh pasta in this small but atmospheric Italian Bistro. I had the spag bol which had a smoked meat flavour - delicious. My wife had the seafood tagliatelle. The pasta arrived on the plate and the seafood in a copper saucepan - nice touch. Italian wine and coffee both excellent too. Dave and Mandy obviously passionate about what they do and it shows - recommended!

We were lucky enough to have had 2 lunches in this restaurant whilst on holiday. We could not have been welcomed more from the moment we stepped through the door. The food was cooked to order and outstanding.

Delicious seafood special and carbonara. Great value, really lovely staff - could not recommend more. We’ll be back.

Popped in for lunch with my mum, it was absolutely lovely - food delicious, really attentive and friendly staff who were great to my mum who just wanted bruschetta and a side salad, my pasta was gorgeous, I cant remember what it is called but it had aubergine in it! I strongly recommend and will be back

A fabulous meal the best we have had outside Italy. Everything was cooked fresh to order- the pasta and sauces were to die for and the ice cream devine. Our two Italian Spinone dogs were made to feel very welcome and were even provided with rugs to lie on. The service was super friendly, efficient and informative and especially enjoyed the house wine which was highly recommended. Cannot wait to return

Surprised that the deli was opened on Friday evening (but found out later it was the monthly supper club) we stopped to buy cannoli. This turned into a 20 min chat, with Mandy and her sister who was visiting from Atherton (northerners like us!) with coffee, vino and lemon tart. Despite not being there for dinner, we were made to feel so welcome and will definitely be stopping for something to eat next time we are in the area. If food in a venue you are made to feel so welcome is what you are after then Prego is the place to go!

Been a few times...food and atmosphere always brilliant. Staff are friendly and attentive. Can't fault anything. Have recommended to family and freinds

Outstanding as always thank you Mandy and Dave. Food was absolutely delicious the chicken and chorizo and Gorgonzola pasta was a firm hit with all of us. Such great value for money. Service was amazing nothing to much trouble and we all felt very spoilt and all left with very full bellies.

We arrived just as the restaurant was about to close but recognising our ‘northern accents ‘Mandy arranged a table for us. A late lunch, made from fresh ingredients and served with delicious wine. We had takeaway icecream and shared a glass of bubbly to celebrate their wedding anniversary. We have already booked for next Saturday. We have tried almost all the pubs and restaurants in and around Stockbridge and this restaurant is the best for quality, ambience and price.

The experience of freshly made paster, rare Italian wine & cheeses were out this world. The ambience was perfect & the fact that this was some of the best Italian food that I have ever had(widely travelled) means that you will see us there again...

Go go go! I shouldn’t say that really as the next refrain will be full full full as people flock to this small and very atmospheric Italian restaurant. However the couple that run it deserve success. A simple menu all prepared fresh for you with...

First time in Stockbridge visiting family for my birthday. This restaurant will go down as one of my most memorable birthdays. Unbelievablely accommodating, authentic Italian dining to the highest level. Super cozy setting and cheerful atmosphere. Highly recommend. Thankyou Dave and Mandy. 5 stars

Wonderful service, delicious wine, fabulous food. We had a nice entrée followed by four different types of pasta. All cooked by Dave in the front kitchen. Each plate was made with first class ingredients.

Lovely coffee and atmosphere. I'm on a diet otherwise I would have tried their cannoli.Very friendly and welcoming and will certainly return.

Well, this is the place. Just popped in for a coffee and two teas + a conolli. The husband and wife team are fantastic and had a lovely chat with David and Mandy. Really nice place. Will be back for food next time as what...

Just had an enjoyable night out in this quirky intimate authentic restaurant. Lovely atmosphere, delicious freshly cooked food and a selection of good Italian wine. Owners David and Mandy very cheerful and welcoming, making this a great place to visit. Will definitely be going back!

Went here for a work lunch. Food and service was fantastic. We had a selection of platters, and the food came out quite quickly even though they were full. Would definitely recommend.

Went to Stockbridge for a walk, and finished it at Prego's, a restaurant we always enjoy visiting, for the warm welcome and happy and entertaining conversations we have with the owners what a lovely couple. We had a shared large bowl of King Prawn Risotto,...

Absolutely delightful place and owners and staff are also delightful. The meals are really tasty and truly amazing. We deffo will be back. Even if it is a 45 minute car journey away. Brilliant.

Small cute restaurant, lovely decor, nice customer service, run by husband and wife who are very friendly, prices are brilliant for the fact everything is cooked fresh. I rang up to book and asked if they had Lamb Ragu to which the chef said he...

Stopped off for a coffee, service was friendly and fast. Good coffee, unfortunately didn't have any Gluten Free cakes. Apparently GF options available for mains, such as bread /pasta.

Had a lovely lunch today. It was our first time and found the staff to be very friendly and accommodating. They adjusted the order to meet my daughters needs with no fuss. The food itself was soooo lovely, from start to finish and overall the...

A real gem. Italian home cooked dishes freshly prepared by the owner Lovely atmosphere amazing service and the food did not disappoint. Something a little different was we all chose the same pasta dish which was brought to us in a large copper dish for...

Food is Michelin Star quality. All cooked fresh when order. Ambience is fabulous and the wine & coffee first class. Mandy & Dave are warm and professional hosts its a must when in Stockbridge.

We found Pergo's using Google Maps. We had just arrived in England after a transatlantic cruise. We were staying nearby. When we walked in we were told that since they had a private party in 2 hours they couldn't seat us. But seeing the disappointment...

We had lunch at Prego, the food was delicious. We will definitely be going again. Make sure you book as it’s very popular.

Always a lovely welcome at Prego, which is why we keep going back. Intimate restaurant and Deli, with very friendly staff and wonderful authentic Italian food. Nice relaxing lunch, meat sharing platter was great as a starter, followed by a huge portion of seafood tagliatelle...

My husband loved visiting Prego Deli and restaurant. I had been previously with a friend and it was great then too. The staff are friendly, the food very reasonably priced and it has a lovely Italian atmosphere. The husband and wife team love Italy, and...

Preform was like stepping into a family run Italian bistro in a Hampshire market town, fresh and delicious seafood cooked to order, friendly service and relaxed atmosphere. Excellent value too, will definitely return

Love this place. The food, wine, coffee & cakes are all delicious. It’s a small local business that’s run by a very hard working couple. Mandy & Dave will accommodate personalisation of their dishes (as much as is possible in their small kitchen) and you...

4 meals at the Prego deli over the last three months and never disappoints! Great fresh food and lovely cheery service. Thank you Mandy and Dave

I popped into this lovely little cosy restaurant – come-deli for a late lunch and was so pleasantly surprised. The couple who own it were absolutely lovely and could not do enough for me. The food was delicious - they are obviously passionate foodies -...

My experience at Prego was perfect very friendly staff always there to help great atmosphere and the food was very tasty 😋

You will be afforded a very warm welcome to this cosy bistro /cafe in Stockbridge. The perfect place to relax, chat and indulge your senses after a local walk. Great value, classic dishes, cakes and fine beverages are served with pride and a smile. Very...

Wow doesn’t quite cover it! Absolutely delicious food, amazing hosts and an overall brilliant experience. We loved every second of our visit, every mouthful of our meal. Thank you for a lovely evening. Can’t wait to return. If you’re visiting Stockbridge eating here is must,...

We visited Preggo for the first time today and met up with two friends for a very extended lunch. I'm a bit of a foodie and it was a delight to see food prepared exactly to order rather than from pre-prepared components. This makes catering...

We discovered Prego Deli 2 years ago when looking for a coffee in Stockbridge. Well the coffee is fabulous but it’s so so much more than that! As lovers of Italian food this is our favourite restaurant where we take all our friends. Dave and...

Seafood Linguine , the finest I have eaten for a long long while, and certainly not in the UK. Thank you

We were running late so ended there by accident. And a very lovely accident it was too..small place warm and welcoming. The staff/owners take very good care of their guests. The food was lovely, goaty gnocchi, rich pasta with a beef ragout sauce and wonderful...

Loved this place. Had high expectations based on other reviews, was not disappointed. Food and wine delicious, Dave and Mandy were great.

Sensational food! The crab and white wine pasta is highly recommended. Chef cooks in the main area of the restaurant and they are so friendly.

To set the scene, this is deli with a small restaurant area. Our experience was wonderful. We hadn’t booked but we were flexible and they made a big effort to fit us in. The service, attention to detail, food and wine were way above what...

Absolute Gem of a place. Even though we were visiting for the first time, Mandy and Dave couldn’t do enough for us and made us very welcome. We had Coffee & pastries (excellent coffee). We went back for a late boozy lunch. Food & wine...

Fabulous food, great atmosphere and nothing is too much trouble for the staff. Very busy, but still managed to fit us in. Thanks Dave and Mandy.

What an amazing time we had at Prego, celebrating my 60th. Dave, Mandy and team were fantastic! We took over the whole of this small family restaurant and the spread Dave produced was fabulous. Superb pasta of all types and flavours washed down with great...

Lovely cosy & intimate atmosphere. A little bit of Italy. Personally imported wines. I had the crab tagliatelle, my partner the prawn chilli ravioli. Exceptional.

I think it was Mandy who made us at home and got us a table for lunch. The pasta dishes we ordered from their daily specials were good, and the lattes and gelato were exceptional. Love the atmosphere. Great holiday decorations in this little town.

Loved the welcome, loved the coffee, loved the cakes, loved the red berry tea! We had to leave sooner than we wanted but we'll definitely return - it will be our 'go to' place in Stockbridge from now on. See you soon!

Looked for a lunch spot in Stockbridge and saw Prego. Dropped by on the off chance of getting a table. Only had to wait 15 minutes. Food was delicious and the perfect portion size. Coffee was good too. Staff were lovely and welcoming.
