Pranzo has an amazing view and serves pretty good Italian and 'Sritalian' fare.
The food can be quite pricey, but if you'd like to indulge yourself, it's worth it.
Pranzo is the Italian restaurant that just opened at Waters Edge. Colombo could use some good Italian since most of our 'Italian' restaurants specialize in mostly pizza. The food at Pranzo is actually pretty good, there's a view, and you'll be glad to know it isn't over-the-top expensive.

Navro Beach is one of the most popular restaurants in Panadura…
A restaurant and a guest house in Ella, that one should…
Had dinner there last night. Was OK, definitely not great. The beef lasagne was not served like it was to you guys, in a pot with separate sauce etc. it was on a plate as you'd get anywhere else. More to piont though, it had a "frozen n reheated badly" feel to it. The prawn ravioli was good. Full marks for service including little touches like asking for you valet ticket when paying so you don't have to wait half an hour for the guy to get to the rather distant car park. Ambiance ain't great as all the lights in the place were on so it was a bit like being on stage. Is the evening cool, strongly recommend sitting outside. Would I go there again? Probably only if was in the area and wanted a quick bite.
Ohhhhhh my… If you like your food, this is the place to visit… Our experience there was amazing. Service was excellent !! And we had what they recommend - which was the lamb shank and their signature seafood ravioli dish. We also had the mushroom soup till we waited for the main meal (we were told, based on what we ordered that it might take a bit longer) … Oohhhh that was the best soup we've had in a long time. Pranzo gets two thumbs up from us. We were pleasantly surprised and can't wait to go back.
Had dinner at Pranzo tonight. My husband ordered the prawn ravioli and he was delighted with it - their signature dish, and yamu was so right about this dish. Our guest ordered a tuna steak and said it was good, but he may have said it to be polite - i would not know. I did see that the steak was quite raw, and he being Russian may have liked it that way. I being a vegetarian was a bit disappointed because they did not have a vegetarian ravioli which was a great pity. Sri Lanka has great pumpkin, and they could easily outdo the courge filled ravioli of europe. I sent a message to the chef asking that they introduce a vegetarian ravioli option - i hope they do because more and more people are opting for vegetarian choices. The dessert we ordered was the warm chocolate pudding which was also very good. The ambience was very good (not in the airconditioned section, but outside, overlooking the waters), and the service was good and friendly. The prices were reasonable too. I highly recommended place for dinner, but, one bit of advice to the Chef of Pranzo - add a vegetarian choice to your signature dish - ravioli.
Had dinner at Pranzo last night, it was a disaster. There were neither bread, olive oil nor balsamic vinegar served (maybe YAMU got special treatment). There were 6 of us and they gave us one menu tablet. We ordered drinks first and the waiter didn't know whether they had the beer we ordered from the menu and it took him 15 minutes to serve a Lion larger (we were wondering whether he was bringing it down from a nearby supermarket).
Same goes on the food, ordered, four pizzas tandoori chicken, curry mutton, beef and Romana. We asked the waiter what’s in Romana and he was clueless again. At first they brought the Romana and tandoori chicken pizza. Tandoori pizza was so cold it felt like they have taken it out from the stove 10 minutes ago. All pizzas disappointed us with the scanty toppings. The mutton pizza didn’t have more than 15 tiny mutton cubes scattered around in a pathetic way. The beef pizza had tiny blobs of minced beef (which tasted like curry) here and there. The Romana tasted so ‘fishy’ we weren’t sure if it was anchovies or canned sardine. It pretty much tasted like the latter (BTW the waiter never got back to us on what's in it).
With everyone's recommendation we ordered prawn Ravioli which was super cold by the time it was served. The taste of it reminded us of ‘steamed dumplings’ merged in a Thai curry.
It’s such a shame they call this Italian food. And to make things worst it wasn’t cheap!!

The pizzas were not of good quality. Hardly had any cheese and chicken in the BBQ chicken pizza. One pizza was not even cut in to pieces and took more than 45 minutes to prepare our pizzas. Was very disappointed with the quality of their food.
