" Bar Primi is a fantastic addition to the Penn District! I recently hosted a brunch there for a small group, and the restaurant offered the perfect backdrop with its bright and vibrant decor. We shared the hot knots and truffle fries, which were both delightful. The staff went above and beyond to make sure our experience was enjoyable. My only complaint would be that the main pasta dishes were a bit on the smaller side for the price. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant exceeded my expectations! The service was exceptional, and the food authentic and delicious. I started with the calamari and then had the bucatini lamb pasta. I savored every bite. However, the environment can get a bit loud, especially during peak hours. I imagine it would be ideal for larger groups looking to enjoy a great meal together, but perhaps a bit challenging for an intimate dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" Was excited to try Bar Primi, but my experience was underwhelming. The pasta was decent but lacked seasoning. The décor is stunning, and the service was friendly, but food-wise, it didn't quite live up to the hype. Would like to revisit to see if they can improve. " (*Curated Review*)

" Bar Primi has a great ambiance! The outdoor seating is fantastic for summer nights. I thoroughly enjoyed the chitarra & clams, although I would have preferred more garlic flavor. However, the strawberry fantasia dessert was heavenly! My friends and I had an excellent time; I highly recommend this place for social gatherings. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an absolutely fabulous time at Bar Primi. The friendly ambiance paired with a menu filled with authentic Italian dishes made it a joy to dine there. The gnocchi were a highlight for me, soft and flavorful. Reservations are a good idea, as it can get busy quickly. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience here was mixed. While the ambiance was stylish and inviting, my pasta dishes—though crafted nicely—were lukewarm. Service at the bar was a tad inattentive. I think I caught the place on an off night, but I might swing by again in hopes of a better meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" A bit of a mixed bag during my visit. The design of the restaurant was nice, and the overall vibe was trendy. However, the food did fall short as the spaghetti was rather bland. Service was pleasant but could have been better coordinated. I may try it again a few months from now. " (*Curated Review*)
