La Prego Restaurant Et Epicerie Italienne
About
La Prego Restaurant & Épicerie Italienne beckons gourmands to the heart of Chantilly, where the aroma of fresh basil greets you as soon as you step inside. Founded in 2004 on the former site of a cinema‑theatre, the venue combines the warmth of a family‑owned restaurant with the charm of a fine‑scented Italian grocery. The menu boasts classic dishes such as risotto aux artichauts, orecchiette a la calabrese, and pizza cucco cu il fuoco—wood‑fire pies crafted with hand‑made dough and imported olive oil, truffle, and gorgonzola from Italy. Complementing the plates is an impressive selection of vin bianco, vin rosso, and vintage liqueurs straight from Tuscan vineyards, as well as seasonal pastries like pane latte and tiramisu. From April to October, guests can dine al fresco on a spacious terrace overlooking the surrounding countryside, lending a relaxed, Mediterranean vibe to the classic Italian evening. Whether you’re in for a casual lunch, an intimate dinner, or a quick take‑away, La Prego provides an authentic taste of Italy, right in the heart of French culture.
