The food was amazing! My wife had some awesome pasta, I had the Oxtail Gnocchi. Our server was great, the atmosphere was very low-key. I plan on going back

A nice quiet and classy restaurant. The menu selection were perfect because they provided a variety of options but it wasn’t overwhelming. Everything my friends and I ordered was cooked to perfection and full of flavor. The service here was great as well. Our server consistently helped us before we even asked. The prices are also very reasonable when comparing to other steakhouses/Italian restaurants in the area. I would definitely recommend choosing Primo Prime for your next date night, birthday, or other special occasion.

Food was very basic, unseasoned, and not worth the high cost. Drinks were just ok. Good service and cool atmosphere. Was ok but won’t return

We went here on a date night. The service and food is amazing. The staff were very friendly. The black eyed peas they give as complimentary was just too good (I prefer soft bread though). The waiter was very accommodating and helped with customizing to our tastes. Roasted chicken was juicy and tender.

Excellent date night dinner spot before a show at Ovens Auditorium! Worked with us to provide an excellent dining experience while ensuring we had plenty of time to make the show after traffic made us late to our reservation! Will be returning for another fantastic dinner!

We came here during restaurant week and even though it was very busy our waitress was very friendly and pleasant. The lamb shank was phenomenal and the crab cake was delicious. We would definitely go back.

Went for Queens Feast. Our server, Bret, was spot on with his service. Impeccable timing and never felt rushed to finish. Great job by management to maintain the ambience. Overall, the food was excellent and very well prepared. We ordered the crab cake, fritto misto, penne seafood and tagliata steak. The crab cake was crispy but not greasy. The fritto misto, also fried, was tasty and loved the fried zucchini mixed it as well. The penne seafood was flavorful, the penne was al dente. Would definitely order any of these again. The steak was prepared properly but the entire plate was probably the less flavorful of all the items we ordered. I would not order the steak again. I’m lactose intolerant, so for my dessert, I received the fresh fruit dish which is usually my only dessert choice. Really?! I have gotten to the point I usually turn down fresh fruit. But I was served the fruit anyway and these were the best strawberries I’ve had in years! Not sure where these were purchased, but they were picked ripe! These were not picked green then left to ripen during transit like so much of our fruits and vegetables today. The bread and white beans served as we waited for our meal was good, however, I have a pet peeve about burned bread. And ours was on one edge. The bread was good, crusty outside, soft inside but I never understand why restaurants serve burnt bread! We ordered a bottle of wine with dinner. The wine prices are on average $40/bottle. If you bring your own bottle, corkage is $20.

I went for restaurant week and got the potato leek soup, the lamb shank and the cheesecake. The leek soup had plenty of delicious crab meat in it. Otherwise I think I would’ve been happier w the beef carpaccio the server recommendation. The lamb shank took forever but was well worth the wait. It was bigger than a turkey leg and came on a bed of cheesy parmesan risotto. The lamb was delicious the red wine reduction was so delicious I couldn’t get enough of it. The risotto was amazing! Totally hit the spot and paired perfectly w the lamb and the juices. The cheesecake wasn’t over the top but definitely didn’t disappoint. Everyone was very nice and the atmosphere was very cozy.
