This might not be the easiest restaurant in the world to find but when you do you are stepping into a little bit of Shanghai culture and history. The building, tucked away among a group of long tong (narrow alleyways), was originally a flourmill that was converted into a clothes factory back in 1949.
Ask a food lover in Shanghai for their favorite Italian restaurant and the answers will vary across the board. The reasons are endless: best value for money, best pizza in China, most authentic, hottest chef...the list goes on. However, if you crave top quality, attention to detail and a comfortable atmosphere, Casanova is highly recommended.
There are over 20 types of pizza of fered here, from onion and tuna. Hawaiian, and pepperoni to deluxe pizzas and many more. Their trademark "Annie's Pizza" is made from tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, smoked meal, sausage, roast chicken and red peppers, and is cooked for seven to eight minutes in the oven.
Despite being based in a single long room in one of Shanghai's most famous hotels, each diner at Prego can enjoy their own private atmosphere thanks to the inventive use of space and varied sub-levels.
Cool, dark and peaceful, with comfortable lounge—style seating, this restaurant is located directly opposite Plaza 66 and is well suited for both a relaxing bite after an exhausting shopping trip or for a casual business meal.
