Originally from Ponte di Legno (Brescia) in the Lombardy region, Chef
Antonio has traversed the globe in his culinary adventures. Beginning his
career in 1987 at the Vissani, a 2-star Michelin restaurant in Orvieto, he
crossed the Atlantic to join the famous Rex Il Ristorante in downtown Los
Angeles, the preferred destination of Hollywood stars. In 1999, Chef Antonio
co-owned Il Baretto in Sydney, Australia, which was recognized as Sydney
Morning Herald’s Best Café Restaurant in 2001. This world class chef
whose culinary skills have been built up having spent more than 25 years in
kitchens in Italy, USA, Germany, Australia and Thailand and now Singapore,
is ready to take Prego to new heights.

true to his Italian culinary roots and heads back home occasionally to
sample and explore the best and most traditional Italian favourites. This
passion is best embodied by his handcrafted pasta made daily
Prego is the convivial setting to relax and savour timeless dishes served
with casual grace and an undertone of sophistication. With strong emphasis
on hand-made, house-cured and long-simmered flavorful dishes at Prego,
one can be sure it’s never just your run-of-the-mill pasta or showcasing
