Reviews Summary
Caffe Prego is praised for its delicious Italian comfort food, particularly its wood-fired pizzas and authentic pasta dishes. Many diners also rave about the homemade gelato. While the service is generally good, some reviews mention minor language barriers or an overly loud music selection. A few negative experiences, including one concerning the handling of pets in the dining area, have also been noted.
"One of my favourite restaurants in Ogunquit- you HAVE to try Quattro Stagioni pizza (one quarter of each topping- olives, artichokes, mushrooms, prosciutto). Save room for the gelato whoopie pie and affogato!! Outdoor seating on the deck has an ocean view depending on where you sit!"

"We have been to Caffe Prego a few times. This time, four of us came for lunch on a Sunday afternoon and got right in. Service was pretty good, although I think there was a lite bit of a language barrier. After our bruschetta appetizer, We all ordered sandwiches. I had the chicken caprese panino, which was good. The crusty bread and soft mozzarella was a great combo. My critique, I think the orange awning gives everything an unsettling color, as you can tell from the pictures, and the music was slightly too loud. Other than that, we had a nice time."

"As a local, we get to taste the best Ogunquit has and Caffe Prego is one our absolute favorites. Zach and Donovan make sure everything is perfect with their amazing food and service. Their staff is friendly and very attentive whether you sit at the bar or in the dining areas. Caffe Prego is a must for anyone who enjoys authentic Italian food or just a gelato for dessert. Enjoy!"
