Good food and great service! We always order calamari as appetizer wherever we eat that has them. They have the best so far! Food was a little pricey though.

A great place for delicious Italian food. The steak(filetto) is so juicy and full of flavor(amazing) ...unique. Very satisfied with the drinks and desserts. Love it when the pianist starts playing.

Primo is not your average Italian spot, the recipes and flavors are truly authentic and have a running theme of being rustic in nature. The vibes were emaculate as we went on a Friday night and there was live piano that night. My family ordered two antipasti with the calamari and gnocchi, both had distinct flavors and the calamari was crispy without tasting too much like the ocean. The gnocchi was creamy and nutty, just perfect. The main course had excellent portions and the parpardelle was cooked al dente and the sauce was full flavored. I would recommend anyone in the area to swing by and give it a shot, you won't be disappointed.

This place isn't bad but I was expecting a lot more from the food considering the pricing. I think the service and atmosphere were good though. Please find more food details below. Caprese salad: balsamic vinegar was way too sweet and dense. They put a heavy base layer of salt on the bottom of everything so when you bite into it, it goes from sweet to intensely salty. Also, the tomatoes looked very dull and low quality. Very stingy of the tomatoes and the basil. I understand they can't give a bunch of mozzarella but these are cheaper ingredients. Why not give more than four small slices of tomatoes? This appetizer cost $17 which is the price of an entree at some restaurants come on. Linguini de mare: Good, but I was expecting much more for $32. If pasta is over $30, it better be amazing. They gave you an abundance of mussels but sparingly of everything else. Not worth getting again in my opinion Roasted chicken "Marie's chicken". This is probably the best thing we ate and it was very good. We really like the way they cook the vegetables and the chicken was super juicy and tender.

This has got to be the best Italian eatery in the area. Probably the most upscale Italian restaurant I've ever seen. We sat by the baby grand and the music was great, the service was impeccable and the food was out of this world. I had the Bolognese pasta and my wife had the filet. Perfect to the last bite. She said her asparagus was a bit al dente but that could be a personal preference. Great place to celebrate so we'll return again soon.

Everything was fantastic. The vibe is perfect for a cute little date. The servers were extremely welcoming and the calamari is the best calamari I've ever had. Highly recommend for either a first date, or an anniversary. Plus my martini was on point👌

I absolutely LOVED this place. The owners are so involved in their business and the love that they have put into the place is really obvious. The owner sings Frank Sanatra, etc on Friday and Saturday nights to a talented pianist. Between songs you could see him walking to tables and engaging his guests in pleasant conversation. The food was so good (the black truffle pasta was probably the best dish I've ever tasted) that we asked the waitress to give the chef our compliments. A little bit later, the head chef came out and thanked us all personally for coming. When we spoke to the owner, he told us about the family heirlooms and pictures that adorned the walls. I was told that the owner's wife sourced the wines personally, and we enjoyed a dry red wine with our meal. I plan on coming back here on special occasions. Blown away.

Had a nice post-anniversary Friday dinner out at Primo. We requested patio seating, and were seated promptly at our reservation time. The service was very friendly and attentive (water glasses always full). I started with a well-crafted Negroni. The food was all quite good. The wild boar pappardelle was the stand-out dish, and the fresh warm bread with olive tapenade was excellent. I thought the pear and burrata salad would have been elevated by some bitter mixed greens to contrast with the richness of the cheese and the sweetness of the pear and balsamic reduction. The cannoli were very good with a freshly brewed cup of Lavazza decaf to round out the night. There was a live pianist playing for the evening, but I thought it was a bit loud for the space. I was grateful to be seated outside where we could still hear each other speak.
