The holidays are just around the corner and you might already be looking for a place for your vacation. As Samui is definitely going to be a contender, we would like to suggest a dining spot you cannot miss. Even though the pandemic has left most tourist hotspots empty, fine food is still available and Prego Samui is one of the survivors. Arguably the best Italian cuisine in town, Prego Samui is managed by Amari Koh Samui on Chaweng Beach. Chef Marco Boscaini has overseen the kitchen since the beginning and continues to be the backbone of its authentic Italian identity. With a rustic yet upscale decor of warm wood and live jazz, Prego is a place where diners can fully indulge in the laid-back glamour while relishing delicious morsels.
The antipasto misto with Caprese, anchovies, cheese and cold cuts
We prefer to order the antipasto misto, or cold cuts with vegetables and cheese, to start the meal but the soups are also quite an allure. Rustic Minestrone with Borlotti beans or the good old pumpkin soup is simply delicious, served with beautiful focaccia on the side.
Moving onto heavier meals, choose from the extensive pasta and pizza list. Try the fresh, homemade saffron Pappardelle with roasted lamb ragú and porcini mushrooms. The pasta is top-notch, and the lamb is tender, packed with tastes. If you are craving an authentic, thin-crust Italian pizza, Prego offers almost 20 different kinds. Looking for less carbs and more protein? The restaurant has plenty of meat and fish dishes you will enjoy. Salmone grigliato—baked salmon fillet served with baby spinach and lemon cream reduction—is a refreshingly light dish.
End the meal with the Tiramisu with strong, invigorating bitterness from the black coffee.
