Prego Description:
We won't admit to hitting Prego merely for its extensive list of wines by the glass, but we are certainly fans. We're also glad that, over the years, this has become a place where white tablecloth food is dished out to folks dressed for nearby Main Street Theater, along with tired shoppers who've been stomping through Rice Village stores. Still, almost anyone eager to enjoy the endlessly creative menu is welcome. None of the dishes suffers from an overload of cheese; instead lemon and wine have a stronger role, and sun-dried tomatoes, cherries, capers and pungent herbs are celebrated. We're always torn between the smoked-duck ravioli and the veal-and-dried-apple ravioli. A rich Fontina lasagna with snappy pesto and veal meatballs; crab-and-lobster cakes; and veal Marsala served with asparagus are all deservedly popular. Desserts are a highlight, especially the decadent chocolate creations.
