I have eaten at Pronto around 15 - 20 times. It is the most consistently good experience I know of. I am slightly picky and have always left with a smile and good spirits. The house specialty is roasted lemon herb chicken. I simply stopped ordering this anywhere else because it never compares to Pronto deliciousness. My daughter loves the... More

.Almost fast food, but good basic Italian style. We stopped here for about our 6th time for a pleasant quick lunch. You order at the counter then find your table and they bring the food to you. You also get your own drinks. I had the Chicken Marsala $9.75 and my spouse had the Chicken Vincent $9.75. Both meals were... More

My wife and I returned again for a quick meal on the way back from an early event at the museum. We were served quickly and everything was as expected. Very reasonable prices for the quality of food.

Been coming here for years. It is simple italian food with an edge. I have never had a bad meal here or bad service. Love their salads. My mom always gets the roasted chicken. It is a great place to go when you have a wide variety of palettes to please. Great outdoor dining when you can get a seat.... More

I visited this place during a training with three other girls. We sat outside on a beautiful day. The service was great. Food choices were decent and food was very good. I ordered chicken pizza and creme brûlée and I was not disappointed. Both were very good. Staff was polite and attentive. I would definitely recommend and go back.

Really gone downhill. If I had written a review of this place 3 years ago, it probably would have gotten 4 stars. I'm not sure what happened, but it is not the same. Not sure if they are using cheaper ingredients or if it was sold to knew owners, but it is really not good anymore. Unfortunately, the last time... More

I love restaurants that have a tough training regime. Food is always good, you know what you are going to get. The food here is great. I can get wonderful pastas, or lighter dishes. It is one of my "comfort places" to eat. I can relax and have a good glass of wine, or eat in a hurry and get... More

The prices are good, and the servers and cashiers are very friendly. Both the Chicken Alfredo and Rigatoni Primavera (tomato cream sauce) are delicious. They also have great rolls, and I was told that their pizza is amazing. If you want good, cheap Italian food, this is the place to go!

House specialty Lemon Garlic Chicken, tasted like a thousand other chickens. Scrawny and over cooked. Bistecca pizzaiola (steak covered with marinade, capers and mozzarella) was just that. Good but Nothing to rave about. Prices were moderate. But glass of chianti $6.50

Pronto is a quick service version of Vincent's in Houston. It seems odd to me the owners of Vincent's, which I love, would open a quick service version of the pretty much the same restaurant. Anyway, the food is good. You order at the counter and it is delivered to your table. They offer the same yummy lemon garlic roasted... More
