Came back to this place after a long time. The food was fabulous, fresh and authentic. I brought my mom to try it out and she fell in love with the food. We had pollo romano and Pesce Zucca.
I am sad to see this place getting shut and wish the owners the best and hope they will come back soon!

The vibe is very pleasuring. The food is definitely on point. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the bolognese sauce was very rich and hearty. Their tricolore salad is extremely refreshing. My only issue is that I wished they had tagliatelle for my bolognese instead of spaghetti or got fettuccine for me (I did order fettuccine bolognese) but I don't mind. I still enjoyed it.

Can't believe they're closing shop. Hope they move elsewhere - they city deserves their excellent food and service. Think they are truly underappreciated and Houston food critics aren't the smartest tools in the shed.
Can't believe the demise of Rice Village - they've all but ruined it. We had a work group who went to Prego's regularly and we had a reunion last meal there last evening. Excellent as always - going to miss you old friend.
