" I had an exceptional dining experience at Primo on a recent visit. From the appetizer to the dessert, everything was top-notch! The roasted bruschetta was delightful and full of flavor, and the sea bass for my main was incredibly tender. The atmosphere was vibrant yet comforting, which made for a great long dinner with friends. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, enhancing the overall experience. Can't wait to visit again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I tried Primo for my sister's birthday, and overall, it was a positive experience. The pasta dishes we ordered were flavorful, but I thought my fettuccine alfredo could have used a bit more seasoning. On the other hand, their tiramisu was divine and definitely stole the show for dessert. The service was friendly and attentive, though we did experience a slight delay with our entrees, which made us a bit anxious since we had a reservation. Still, I'd recommend it as a solid choice for family gatherings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely fantastic dining experience! I celebrated my wife's birthday here and the staff went above and beyond. They even surprised her with a complimentary dessert with candlelight. The lasagna was smooth and cheesy, just how we love it! We were also impressed with the wine selection, which the waiter helped us choose perfectly to match the meal. It’s a bit on the expensive side, but for special events, it’s certainly worth every penny. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy exquisite Italian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Primo is a charming little spot, and I had a lovely evening with friends! The atmosphere is warm, but I found the seating a bit cramped. I did really enjoy my chicken parmesan—it was substantial and comforting. The staff was friendly, and they took the time to explain the intricacies of the menu. I felt well looked after throughout the night. I’d go back for a casual dinner any day! " (*Curated Review*)

" So impressed by my dining experience at Primo! From the moment we walked in, the welcoming atmosphere set the tone for an incredible night. I ordered the chicken marsala, and it was cooked to perfection with just the right amount of wine sauce. My friend tried the seafood special, and she loved it as well. The staff made a real effort to ensure everything was to our liking, and we even got to meet the chef, who was enthusiastic about his creations. I would love to return and try more items! " (*Curated Review*)

" Although my experience at Primo was not without its flaws, I would still consider giving it a second chance. The chicken alfredo tasted very good, but it had too much garlic for my taste. The service, while friendly, was noticeably slow that night, which put a damper on our dining experience. The atmosphere was elegant and inviting, making for a nice backdrop. I hope the next time I visit, they can improve on timing! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally got a chance to dine at Primo after hearing such great reviews! Unfortunately, I was underwhelmed. The eggplant parmesan was overly greasy, and the service seemed inattentive at points. I did appreciate the complimentary garlic breadsticks, but they are just the basics. On the positive side, the ambiance was nice, so perhaps I'd give it another shot if I’m in the area again.
