Which Italian restaurant Scarborough you should definitely visit?

If you’re near Scarborough Beach and craving real Italian food, Prego Restaurant is a short drive away in Floreat and it’s the reason many Scarborough locals skip the beachfront strip for something more authentic.

About Prego Restaurant

Led by Chef Joe, Prego serves homemade pasta, gnocchi, and Mediterranean-inspired Italian dishes from its Floreat dining room, cooked by an Italian-staffed kitchen using fresh, natural ingredients. Regulars keep coming back for the Crispy Duck, hand-made Tortellini with Black Truffles, and slow-cooked Lamb, alongside a full degustation menu for special occasions.
