Outstanding meal last night. Prima remains our favourite restaurant in Ripon and last night the food was even better than usual.
We had a really nice gluten free garlic bread pizza to start and the base was as good as a normal base. We both had specials for mains. My wife had the king scallops with arborio rice, Norwegian prawns and smoked chorizo. I had roast Lamb with veggies, mash and gravy which shows that Chef has lived in Yorkshire long enough to perfect roast Lamb. The service was wonderful and the staff were very attentive and as always polite with a smile. Their attention to allergens is always appreciated.

Came in as the place we wanted to go originally was shut so thought we’d try here. Very glad we did! The food was great value for money, we got the 2 course deal for around £16 each and were thoroughly impressed with the taste and the quality. The staff were friendly and cheery and the food came out quickly. The atmosphere was warm lighting and relaxing with soft music playing in background. I’d highly recommend and definitely return:)

This Italian restaurant has quickly become one of my favourite places to eat. The food is consistently amazing — full of flavour, beautifully presented, and clearly made with real care. The waiting staff are brilliant too: friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which makes every visit feel special.
It’s the perfect spot for any occasion, whether it’s a relaxed family meal or something a bit more celebratory. What really sets them apart, though, is how wonderfully they accommodate my toddler and her dietary requirements. They never make it feel like an inconvenience and always go the extra mile to make sure she has something safe and delicious to enjoy.
A fantastic experience every time. Highly recommended.

Went with my family and everything was amazing. The waitress really looked after us and made us feel welcome. My partner had the steak, which was tender and full of flavour, and I had the lobster ravioli — the best I’ve ever had. Even the kids ate everything! Our whole family absolutely loved this place. Highly recommended.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We visited this restaurant after spending most of the day at a car meet-up at Grantley Hall, having travelled from London. I had done some research beforehand and chose this spot based on the strong reviews—and for the most part, it lived up to the hype.
Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by our waiter Olivia, who was friendly, attentive, and really made us feel looked after throughout the evening.
With big appetites, we kicked off with three starters:
1. Pork skewers – Small portions and the meat lacked standout flavour. I wouldn’t recommend this dish.
2. Calamari – Unfortunately, this was quite tough. The batter was thin and underwhelming in taste.
3. Meatballs – Nicely flavoured and enjoyable, though again, the portion size was on the smaller side.
While the starters didn’t quite meet our expectations, things took a dramatic turn for the better with the main course.
I ordered the lasagna, which Olivia had confidently recommended—and it absolutely delivered. It was piping hot, with a perfect crispy exterior and a soft, rich interior. Every bite was packed with flavour and clearly prepared with care. Hands down, the best lasagna I’ve had in a long time—highly recommended!
For dessert, I went with the Baileys chocolate ganache, and it was another winner—smooth, indulgent, and perfectly balanced in flavour.
Service from Olivia was top-notch—genuinely one of the highlights of the evening.
Final thoughts: Skip the starters and go straight for the mains and desserts. The lasagna alone is worth the visit. A lovely experience overall.
Best regards,

Staff were lovely and the starters were really nice, although the garlic tomato bread was just sprinkled with dried herbs rather than have them in the sauce. However the main complaint was the beef canneloni. It was filled with soft, white, tasteless ricotta cheese and despite me querying it, I was assured it was beef. If I live until 100 I will never be convinced that that dish contained an atom of meat, and for the first time in my life I left half of a canneloni. It was my wife’s birthday so wasn’t going to spoil the night by making a scene but wow, I now know how depressed vegetarians must feel.

Visited today with my family and relatives. From the moment we arrived, we felt unwelcome due to strange and judgmental looks. The service was very poor — cutlery and plates were forgotten multiple times.
I tried to explain our situation, as one of the children is autistic, but instead of understanding, someone shouted, which caused a meltdown. We then experienced more uncomfortable and racist looks.
No empathy, no professionalism.
Very disappointing experience. Would not recommend.

There’s quite a few Italian restaurants all on the same street, but Prima looked to have the best menu. Attractive and comfortable with friendly staff. Lovely food and they do an earlybird menu which looks good value. Would have liked to have had a beer with my meal but £6-50 for a bottle of Black Sheep is ridiculous.
