My boyfriend and I ate at Pronto this past Saturday night. We called ahead and made reservations for 9 p.m. We were seated as soon as we walked in the door. The waitress was quick to bring us menus and fill our water glasses. She was very friendly and attentive throughout the meal. We started with the granny smith and... more

I can't say enough good things about this place. I had duck which was excellent and my husband had ravioli that he loved. The waitress was friendly and professional and the Fluffernutter cheesecake is addicting. more

Had dinner with 4 girlfriends here on another friend's recommendation.. while it was OK it wasn't great. The decor is "confused". Its like they tried to update an aging Victorian interior but didn't try all that hard.. flowery tablecloths, gilded chandeliers.. the lighting is a bit off too. I had the crabcake special as an appetizer, no complaints there.. and... more

We were a party of 6 on Monday, September 7, 2009 and we had an excellent meal. and excellent service. This may not be the most glamorous restaurant in Newport but if you want excellent food at a reasonable price, and attentive service I would recommend you going here. more

Had dinner at Pronto during a trip to Newport first week of August. Restaurant is centrally located on Thames street and is about 10 min walk from Commercial Wharf (center of downtown). We did not have a reservation and were lucky that got it. The place was all booked and it was a Wednesday night. So make reservations. Food was... more

Innovative Italian food. The downstairs dining room has a rolling floor and tiny tippy tables; I didn't see the upstairs room. Support pillars are in odd places. We dined there on a slow Monday, and there were only a few diners. I think the room might feel claustrophobic with a crowd. But the food! Fantastic. Life is good when the... more

Inside of restaurant is beautiful...i read revievs and i was expecting tasty meal as well... For 8 tables ( about 30 people ) 2 waitresses which were also buzzing tables. Dining room is so small and they were running around like crazy. They didn't write down our order so we didn't get what we asked for :( Food wasn't great... more

While walking down Thames St on a busy Saturday we stumbled across Pronto. As my wife and her friend looked over the menu, I inquired with the Maitre'D, Dave - who I think was the owner, as to whether or not a table was available. He couldn't have been friendlier in telling us that while nothing was available at that... more

Visited Newport July 4th so everything very busy. Almost passed Pronto by as lower level was full. They took us to second floor. The words cozy & romantic have been used & I would agree. Service was excellent (Stephanie) - menu questions answered knowledgeably, very pleasant, attentive & even went to see details of music that was playing once we... more
