For more than two decades, Donato Tramuto and Jeff Porter have traveled extensively,exploring the different regions of Italy. Sitting in an Italian Caffe, sipping cappuccino and enjoying pastry and gelato is one of their pleasurable pastimes.
Inspired to bring a bit of Italian culture and food to Maine, the idea of Caffe Prego was born. Donato and Jeff wish to create an elegant and inviting Italian caffe experience, rich in tradition, reflecting the hospitality and quality found in Italy. Staying true to their dream, they brought in experts who understood the Italian tradition and atmosphere. All of the equipment at Caffe Prego, including the service bar, has been shipped in from Italy. The lighting was carefully selected to reflect the ambience that one would find in a Roman Caffe. Even the word "Caffe" reflects the Italian way of how one would spell the word if they were living in Italy. Lastly, no caffe would represent its true meaning without an outdoor terrace. You will find at Caffe Prego an outdoor terrace with seating for 30 people overlooking Shore Road and with partial views of the water. Indoor seating is available as well.
In tribute to the memory of their faithful companion Golden Retriever Prego, they are pleased to bring you both their passion and love of Italy and their fond memories of their PREGO!
