" My husband and I have been coming here for years. The service is outstanding, and they always remember our favorite dishes. The seafood pasta is always my go-to, with lots of fresh shrimp and scallops. It’s an authentic taste of Italy in Manhattan, and the portions are filling. Every meal has been worth the price. You can’t go wrong dining here! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Primola was wonderful! I visited on a busy Saturday evening, and even though the restaurant was full, the staff managed well. I had their gnocchi with a creamy pesto sauce, which was divine! I felt embraced by the staff and well taken care of. I’ll be going back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Primola is where I go when I want authentic Italian food! The staff are genuinely nice and willing to accommodate. I had the veal, which was one of the best I've had. The ambiance is vibrantly Italian yet cozy, making it hard not to enjoy your meal. If you're looking for somewhere to celebrate or just enjoy a hearty meal, I highly recommend Primola! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a very average experience at Primola. The food was fine but not exceptional, and it felt overpriced. While the service was decent, it lacked the warmth one might expect from a family-run Italian place. I would say it’s fine for a casual night out but maybe not for a special occasion. " (*Curated Review*)

" tried Primola last Saturday for a family reunion. The location was perfect and the restaurant had a classic Italian charm. The pasta was made fresh and tasted delightful. We were a big group and found the service to be a bit slow at times, but the staff was very friendly. The highlight was definitely the homemade desserts. I would recommend this restaurant for group celebrations! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, Primola left me quite disappointed. While I had high expectations based on the reviews, the food was only mediocre at best. My shrimp scampi lacked flavor and the pasta was overcooked. Moreover, the service seemed rushed, and they hurried us out even though the restaurant wasn’t fully booked. Unfortunately, I had hoped for a warm Italian dining experience but it fell short. " (*Curated Review*)

" Primola is a quintessential Italian restaurant that takes you back to a simpler time. The menus are filled with authentic dishes that remind me of my grandmother's cooking. I had the orecchiette with sausage and it was exquisite! I also appreciated how the edges of the restaurant were filled with vines, giving it an outdoor feel. My only issue was with the wait time. Service was a bit slow, but the quality of the food made up for it. " (*Curated Review*)
