What a total pleasure to dine at Prima! The staff was incredible. Their attentive nature was delightful, not overbearing. Food was prepared quickly and perfectly. Everyone was pleased with their dishes. We’ll definitely return again someday.

Every time I come to Prima, I am greeted by a woman with curly hair and beautiful smile. She is always so kind and gives great service. Today was no different. I ordered crab cakes and a pasta with sausage dish would was delicious. I remembered to take pics this time but I highly recommend this place.
FYI – I did have multiple glasses of red wine.

This is our go-to Italian restaurant in the Cities. The food is always AMAZING especially the bruschetta. Tonight they had a scallop special that was cooked to perfection. We have tried almost every dish on the menu and each one is absolutely wonderful.
The staff is always very attentive and friendly. They have accommodated our groups from. 4 to 8 and, no matter the size, they have been top notch.
If you are looking for a hometown, family feel with great food and service that always exceeds expectations, THIS IS YOUR PLACE!

I reccomend this place. The food was good and it had a cozy atmosphere.
While the food was very good, I felt the menu was limited.
They also had a decent wine selection but not a full bar. I was going to have a before dinner drink.

I personally don’t think this place is worth the money. We felt a little rushed to order, but the food did come quickly. The meal itself was nothing special, but fine. With that being said, it was a super cute restaurant and I liked the vibes. It’s a small place so it feels more intimate.

This was a nice place to have our first real night out while visiting the city. The pasta dishes were delightful. I wish I had chosen the one that my wife did, although mine was still fine. Definitely a great place to take your wife out on a date and enjoy a few modest spoils. A bottle of red, a bottle of white, whatever kind of mood you’re in tonight.

I take myself out once a year for a big dinner, and this year I decided to go to Prima! Trust me when I say you need to RUN to Prima for dinner sometime soon.
I started off with one of the canned n/a cocktails they have, and it was very refreshing. For food, I ordered the Gnudi and the Caeser salad first. The Gnudi was so yummy and I am glad I didn’t have to share it with anyone! The Caeser is simple yet delicious, and honestly, that’s exactly the way a Caeser should be. For my main course, I ordered the braised pork pasta with a glass of red wine. The pork pasta was insanely good. Somehow they are able to make it indulgent yet refreshing. I was pretty bummed I couldn’t try the seafood pasta special, but I knew I wouldn’t be able to finish it and that wasn’t something I’d want left overs of since seafood doesn’t generally warm up again well. Next time, I will bring someone with and hopefully be able to share the seafood special with them!
I ended the meal with an espresso and the Budino dessert. The Budino is a must get! It isn’t a dessert you can bring home, so my suggestion is to get it there and then get a second dessert for later on at home! Haha. That is exactly what I did, and I am excited to try the Tiramisu later on once I am not so full.
Becky was my server, and she was so attentive and helpful with suggestions! Thank you, Becky, for making sure I had such a wonderful solo dinner!

Our first time here and I have to say it was delicious. It was really busy Monday evening. I think they were short handed, but even though it was busy they were attentive and made sure our drinks were always full and let us know they would be with us when they could. Based on the food I can see why they are so popular. I would come back and try new things for sure.

Plan ahead note: park in the back and go in the back door! Also I recommend making a reservation ahead of time.
Review: My family brought me to dinner here for my birthday – every course was incredible! The staff was super nice and made sure we always had our drinks refreshed throughout the meal. One of the best crime brûlées I have ever eaten!
It is not a big place, has a very intimate and neighborly feel.
