Prego Wine Bar in Cardiff

Very convenient spot in Cardiff High Street close to the castle. We visited on a Tuesday evening in December after Christmas shopping. You can never go wrong with a glass of something sparkling to settle into the atmosphere so a glass each of presecco works wonders. My choice of starter was an avocado gamberetti served with prawns, salad and a Mary Rose sauce. There were plenty of prawns on the plate and I was extremely pleased with the taste. My main course was a freshly made tagliatelle carbonara pasta parmesan sauce and a crispy pancetta wafer. You must like cheese to select this dish and it did not fail, in fact there was so much that I could not finish it. All served with a bottle of white Italian wine as Madame had selected the salmon as a main course. Coffee to finish and we left very satisfied.

Made a reservation on Saturday night for Sunday night dinner. Turned up Sunday night and they weren't even open. Very unprofessional.

Great bar in centre of the city , fantastic authentic Italian food served by friendly staff , good range of Italian wines definitely worth a visit

Great place for a pre dinner drink. Good wines, friendly staff. Great window seats for people watching. Prices reasonable for the centre of Cardiff.

We nearly walked past this place as we thought it was 'just' a wine bar. How glad am I that we stopped and noticed the menu. The owner was there and told us that if we did not like it we would not have to pay. I love a challenge so we went in. Lovely cocktail to start and the best bruschetta we have ever had. Both had pasta which was amazing, so we did have to pay for it! So good that we went back again the next night. Shame that it is not clear that they do food as I am sure that more people would go and eat if they knew it was a restaurant.

STUNNING! Best customer service & cocktails. Will definetly come again!!!! Best wine bar in cardiff

Very friendly italian staff. We ended here as all restaurants we tried to eat were already close and it was 9PM. We had the charcuterie platter for 2, a very nice portion. Manchego great. I believe there provolone pieces they were amazing. The salami selection was very nice as well. We also order the diavola pizza. The pizza bread was very tasty. Slightly thicker in the border but tasting really nice. I really liked the decor of the place with some venetian masks and mirrors at the walls.

Had a lovely evening at Prego last night, pizza was lovely and the cocktails and service even better! Will definitely be back to visit, thank you so much!

They’ve got this place just right; it feels like a ‘local’ Italian but is centrally located. Reasonably priced, friendly staff - what’s not to like.

Was in Wales for a long weekend & went here for tapas & wine. 2 bottles later we left. Great night. Full of laughter & made some new friends. Very warm & friendless Italian bar.

Outstanding spot for a glass of wine before our night out. Great selection, top tier service with a smile and the family owned wine was very good.

Recently visited Prego Wine Bar prior to a gig at St David's Hall. Just had cocktails but were delicious. A number of Italians drinking in there too, which I took as a stamp of approval. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Stopped in for lunch with a friend and had a wonderful experience. The staff couldn't do enough for us, the food was delicious and all arrived promptly. Will definitely be returning

Incredible wine bar. We stopped by initially for a few drinks but decided to have some food, and very glad we did! The staff were all lovely, especially our waitress who was very knowledgeable of both the food and wine menu.

Came here for drinks with friends and have experienced the best service. Fantastic wine from the family vineyard in Naples. We particularly like the Calu. Lovely dry white.

Couldn’t recommend Prego enough, the food and drinks were outstanding!! Not only do I think this is the best Italian around but the staff and service make this place what it is!! I want to give a special mention to our waiter Salvitori who went...

We just had a really lovely evening in Prego. The service was super and the homemade ravioli was absolutely delicious. We’d definitely go back.

A beautiful sophisticated vibe. Classy . Unhurried. Great wine selection. We kind of happened upon this spot and were so glad we did. The kind of place where You take your time, enjoy the atmosphere ….and people watch.

Cocktails taste amazing and the service is incredible. Super friendly place and they also serve pizza!!

Popped in here on the way to dinner at another place, as we wanted somewhere quiet. It was empty apart from 1 couple, as it was early evening which suited us both as we wanted to get out and home before all the revellers came...

Amazing food and customer service with creative cocktails and a family vinyard wine which was all delicious! Recommend highly!

Been here several times now and really should leave a review as it’s my favourite bar in Cardiff. Great atmosphere inside and a good spot to people watch if you sit outside too. Excellent wine selection, staff and management are friendly. Not eaten here but...

Just a fantastic place. Really fun and friendly staff, a great selection of Italian wines, lovely atmosphere, terrific service - one of those places to hide yourself away and have long conversations over quality booze.

Top notch cocktails. Lovely chilled atmospherewith an amaxing super friendly professional staff. A definitely must for a visit, to be part of a family run establishment, with such professional first class service. Can't wait to visit again.

After one visit i’m hooked. Called in for cocktails and the service was phenomenal so went back for dinner with friends another great night..Absolutely outstanding, so went back again and took my family there. Prego’s management and staff could not have been more accommodating to...

Amazing few hours spent at Prego wine bar, where the staff are so welcoming& nothing is too much trouble. Had an absolutely fantastic meal of oysters then seabass followed by italian dessert. Will most definitely be recommending to all my friends & family as first...

Popped in for a drink and the bar staff looked after us! George makes a mean cocktail and the Italian meats & cheese platter was great value for money.

Had a fantastic time here. Big shout out to George for the delicious cocktails, and charcuterie board. Would recommend coming here if visiting Cardiff!

Lovely place, great atmosphere, good drinks/wine menu and fantastic anti pasta platters. Staff are friendly and welcoming. We enjoy it so much we keep going back.

Good food, great location and excellent wine from the family vineyard. Add that to friendly staff and you have the perfect place to snack, drink and people watch. Wish I lived a little closer to Cardiff

Lovely atmosphere, food and drinks were fab. Enjoyed sitting outside in the sunshine but looked amazing inside too. Worth a visit when you in Cardiff.

Outstanding and friendly service, good food and top notch wines from the owners on vineyard in Italy… what could be better. Molto Buono!

We are regular visitors to Italy, and have always enjoyed the Italian Vibe. So finding “Pregos” as we strolled down street, just lured us in. We are platters, pizza and drank wine, all served with the amazing Italian customer service. We shall be back when...

First time here and will definitely be back. The best customer service I’ve received in Cardiff, really warm, welcoming and attentive. Great drink selection and delicious food. Can’t wait to return.

Me and my partner visited Cardiff for a day and we unfortunately didn’t know that due to Covid-19 all the restaurants in Wales were still operating with delivery only or/and with outdoors seats. After a long day of walking Prego provided a relaxing time while...

A really nicely decorated up market kinda place.Great to sit for a quiet drink and chat.Very friendly attentive staff.Looking forward to going back to try the food. A very welcome addition to Cardiff in my book. Highly recommended.

Apart from the stylish Italian decor, attentive friendly staff, great light snacks and atmosphere, they produce their own wines, but if like me, love my gins, then they too have an array to choose from. Very close to the Castle at the top end of...

Hoards of loud people augmented by amplified musicians in a very small space. Food shockingly overpriced and poor quality. 6 olives on a sharing platter for 2. Booze range is ok. Ok to drink don't come here if you want to eat or talk. The...
