Sit down.
Break bread.
Give thanks.
That's what "prega" means back home — and it's the whole idea. Wood-fired pizza, pasta rolled by hand, and a table that's always got room for one more.

Everything tastes better when it's shared.
Prega started at Nonna Lucia's table, where nobody ate until everyone had a seat. Sixteen years on, we still cook the way she did — slowly, generously, and always with enough for one more plate.

Three things we won't compromise on
Wood-fired, always
Our oven runs on oak and nothing else. Ninety seconds, and the pizza's on its way to you.
Pasta, rolled by hand
Every tagliatelle and raviolo is made that morning, in full view of the dining room.
A little something sweet
No meal ends without it. Nonna's tiramisu recipe, unchanged since 1994.
Off the board
Chalked up fresh every Monday — ask your server what didn't make the printed menu.
From our regulars
"The tagliatelle al tartufo is worth crossing the river for. We've been back four times this year already."
— Priya M., Southwark"Booked a table for eight with two days' notice and they made it feel like they'd been expecting us for weeks."
— Daniel R., Greenwich"Proper wood-fired crust, and the tiramisu might genuinely be the best I've had outside of Italy."
— Freya A., Clapham
