Loved the Branzino fish. My wife and my family had a great time celebrating my father’s 81st birthday! The food was excellent and the atmosphere was relaxing. The service was excellent too.

Excellent Portuguese restaurant bought one of my Portuguese friends here and he too was very impressed.
It is about a 45 minute ride for me to get here and I tried to come here at least twice a month last week. I was here twice.
I always sit at a table in the bar and the bartender is awesome. She is very attentive and even knows what I’m going to eat since I am a regular.

It was my first time here and it didn’t disappoint. Service was excellent, the atmosphere was family friendly.
Food was good. I had the special stuffed round eye, flavor was excellent, unfortunately it was a little over cooked, it was the only negative on this visit. Everyone else in my party got other items and they still enjoyed them.

I ordered through Grubhub. Fried calamari was over battered, you can also taste the old oil they deep fried them in. The steak I ordered medium, was so over cooked and tough, no spices ,very bland along with the shrimp too. The octopus salad, (that is so hard to find in most restaurants, I was most excited about), the octopus was overcooked, so chewy! Also bland with hardly any spices or lemon. The best things were the rice, and fried potatoes. I paid $57 for the most disappointing dinner ever. I don’t mind paying for quality food, this was truly gross.

Our waiter was so friendly and helpful! The food was delicious and a good amount for the price. The clams and squid were a bit chewier than I liked, but the shrimp in the pasta primavera was AMAZING.

From outside the restaurant, one would not give it the rate it deserves. One of the best expressions of Portuguese dishes in USA. Awesome food. We had Seafood Stew and Picadinho. Definitely, a must-go in the Hartford, CT, region.

The overall cleanliness/ambiance of the restaurant was on point. The food was flavorful. One tip of advice, if you want your steak medium-well, you’ll have to order it medium. My steak was well done after I asked for medium well. It was a bit tough to eat. The circle fries are the best and not mentioned in the menu, so always ask! The broccoli rabe was really good too. I am not a fan of the saffron rice, but others in my group enjoyed it. Caldo verde was delicious and on the potato side.

Great experience dining here tonight. The food is great, but surprisingly very reasonably priced. Portions were huge. The server was excellent. She even brought us a rose for international women’s day. Unfortunately, as we were so full, we had no room left for dessert (the dessert menu looks excellent). I can understand why they have been listed among the best restaurants in Connecticut for many consecutive years!

I am so disappointed in myself! This place was so amazing and I forgot to take pics of our meals, but that’s ok, because now I have an excuse to go back!
Everything about Primavera Pub is supreme!
The atmosphere, food, and service were all quite excellent. The killer is how reasonable the prices are! We had an appetizer, a scotch, a soda, a soup, and two meals…all for under $58! That’s unheard of with today’s prices and inflation!!!
We didn’t have cheap meals either. My lady had a rib eye and I had the beef, sausage, and shrimp combo. I counted the shrimp, which were big mind you, and there were 7 of them. I still can’t get over the value. To top it off, everything was delicious!
