Is there room for more Italian restaurants in our city? Absolutely.

Here's an Italian restaurant so authentic, it will have you bringing your passports along. Just in case there's an immigration check.

Prego - the in-house Italian restaurant at the new Westin Hotel is now open. Situated by the pool with a pristine open kitchen and oven flanking its sides, Prego like the name translates to, is most welcoming.

Try the Spaghetti Boscaiola or the Insalata Caprese (seasoned Mozzarella and Tomato salad) and it'll have you wishing you were part Sicilian.

Chef Barthwal's signature preparation of baked Canadian sea bass coated in a tangy tomato puree is a bite out of heaven itself.

The menu merges the richness of a juicy lamb chop on a bed of spinach and onion marmalade with a  rustic minestrone and freshly baked bread.

And it doesn't matter what your palette pleads for. What's served to you is nothing short of pure culinary satisfaction.

Prego pushes the bar on original creations yet manages to retain that authentic Italian flavor.

One visit here and everything Italian you've tasted so far will need a double take.
