One of Rice Village’s staple restaurants will have a new home in 2024, but it isn’t going far. Prego, an Italian restaurant that’s been in business for more than 40 years, is moving from its current location due to redevelopment plans by Rice Village owner Rice Management Company.

“After 40 years in the village, it was hard to imagine relocating to anywhere else in Houston. We are pleased we were able to work with the university and we won’t be going far,” Prego’s general manager and operating partner David Cook said in a statement. “Our new location is only 100 yards away at 5515 Kelvin Dr., Suite # 130, and we are thrilled that we will continue to be a part of this community. Our roots here are deep, and this is where our customers look for us to be.”
