Prego Restaurant

The pizza was yum! Hard to believe the base was GF. The staff were helpful and explained their contamination risks and precautions which I was comfortable with.

I have been to prego twice before and been fine. However, my most recent trip resulted in the worst gluten exposure I have experienced. Oddly, this was as a result of a risotto, which should be easy to prepare gluten free. I also only ate risotto and didn't eat anything else that afternoon. Within 2 hours of eating, I had extreme vomiting and gastro symptoms. Two days later and I am still suffering with migraines and arthralgia. The restaurant is investigating, but so far claims to have followed all recommendations. With such a severe reaction, this was clearly not the case.

Went to Prego about 2 years ago and had a great time, decided to go back.

Did not feel very safe. I asked for gluten free pasta and said I was coeliac. My waiter advised that they boil their gluten pasta in the same water as the GF pasta and would this be okay, and how serious of a coeliac I was. I explained that that would make me sick, so he discussed with the chef and they agreed they would be able to cook it separately for me.

Unfortunately despite this I have been really unwell today (the day after) so don’t recommend. The food itself was delicious but not worth being unwell.

Eaten here a many times over the years. They have GF pizza and pasta. I almost always get the spag bol (served with GF penne pasta) because its so yum. My favourite smart-casual Ponsonby eatery and never been sick. Aucklanders love this restaurant.
