Real Italian Flavor. No Passport Required.
Like Eating in Italy — Without the Jetlag
Prespa’s Italian Express is more than just a place to grab a bite—it’s a fast-casual love letter to real Italian flavor. Founded by father-son duo Steve and Mino Emini, Prespa’s brings over 50 years of combined restaurant experience to every pizza, pasta, and hot sub we serve.
Born from the family’s deep roots in the Calabria region of Southern Italy, our scratch-made menu is inspired by the bold, rustic flavors of the old country. But we know life moves fast—so we built Prespa’s for today’s pace. Whether you’re grabbing lunch on the go or bringing home dinner to pair with your favorite bottle of wine, you’ll get authentic Italian food made fresh, fast, and with care.
Now proudly opening our third location, we remain family-owned and operated, driven by the same values we started with: real ingredients, real family, and real flavor.
Our Promise to You
At Prespa’s Italian Express, our mission is simple: deliver bold Italian flavor—fast. Every dish that leaves our kitchen is made with care, intention, and the freshest ingredients we can source. No shortcuts, no compromises.
We believe food should bring people together. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet dinner at home, treating your coworkers to lunch, or grabbing a quick bite between errands, our promise is the same: fast-casual Italian that tastes anything but rushed.
We don’t just want to feed you—we want to give you a small taste of Italy, one forkful at a time.
The Legacy Continues
What started as one family’s dream is now becoming a regional favorite—and we’re just getting started. With each new location, Steve and Mino continue to carry forward the traditions, flavors, and pride of their roots.
You’ll still find them in the kitchen, tasting sauces, checking dough, and making sure every dish meets the standard set by generations before them. This isn’t just a business—it’s a legacy built on love, hard work, and unforgettable food.
From our family to yours, grazie for being part of the journey.
