" What a delightful dining experience! I decided to celebrate my birthday at Primal with my partner, and it was a fantastic choice. Every single dish was crafted with care and reflected the authenticity I was looking for. The highlights were the bone marrow and pasta dishes that really showcased the chef's expertise. The atmosphere was vibrant yet intimate, making it perfect for any occasion. A bit pricey but worth every penny! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having read so many positive reviews, my partner and I had to try Primal! I must say, the atmosphere sets the stage for an incredible experience. The food was authentic Italian with fantastic freshness in every bite. I adored the beet salad—so much flavor! The only issue I encountered was slight confusion about the menu prices, as they differed from the website. Overall, an experience worth every cent! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Primal last night for dinner. While I intended to try their famous 5-course menu, we ended up opting for individual dishes instead. The atmosphere has a warm rustic vibe, and the hostess was welcoming. My rigatoni was filled with the most delightful flavors, though I wish there had been a bit more sauce. On the other hand, the service was attentive, and I appreciated that our server was familiar with wine pairings. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had planned on doing the five-course meal but ended up selecting a la carte. The mains we ordered were delightful, with clear Mediterranean influences shining through. Each dish was carefully plated and tasted fantastic. The staff were truly attentive and contributed to making it a memorable night. I'll definitely be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" We were blown away by the unique flavors and dishes Primal had to offer! The creative cocktail menu was an unexpected surprise. Dishes were beautifully plated and tasted as good as they looked. My only minor complaint was that pricing was higher than expected, but the food makes it worthwhile. Looking forward to returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" The service was fantastic, and our server kept us entertained throughout the meal. The pasta was deliciously prepared, although I found the steak dish a bit overcooked for my taste. The ambiance was lively, which felt great, but it did complicate our conversation. Great meal overall, but I suggest speaking to your server about cooking preferences for meat dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Primal is one of the best dining spots I've been to in a while! The service was unparalleled; the staff always made sure I had everything I needed. I opted for the 5-course meal, and while some dishes were truly outstanding, I found a couple of them didn't quite measure up to the hype. Still, the quality of the ingredients really shined, especially in the diverse pasta selections. I left feeling quite satisfied! " (*Curated Review*)
