Prezzo Restaurant's recipes "are inspired by the centuries-old Italian style of cooking," says its website, with an emphasis on fresh ingredients and simplicity.
You can find pasta dishes at Prezzo, but try the house recipes: linguini served with rock shrimp, shiitake mushrooms, diced tomatoes, radicchio and light red sauce; or maybe try the whole wheat spaghetti with shiitake mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes and arugula.
Owner Remzi Dautag says his customers have taken to the appetizer menu, especially the Gamberoni di Castellano, which is shrimp over white beans with hot cherry peppers and arugula. The Escargot Polenta is another favorite. This dish combines escargot with tomatoes, basil, white wine and herbs.
Prezzo offers a relaxed dining experience. Its two rooms each have twenty to twenty-two tables that can seat four people. The restaurant is painted in calming earth tones and decorated with Tuscany street scenes and landscapes. Music is just loud enough to be heard but not loud enough to interfere with conversation.
Prezzo can accomodate banquets and private parties. It serves lunch and dinner.
