    We have loved Primavista for years and the food and service have always been exceptional. However, the ambience used to be better. While the view is still spectacular other things (like the tables) seem to be getting a little worn. But, my goodness, the food was so delicious, I’m not sure the appearance of the tables matters!

    WOW. Everything was excellent. Staff were friendly and efficient -we didn't want for anything. Tables were spaced well from each other and the atmosphere was quant and nostalgic giving you a feeling of being in a small bistro with a fabulous view. The timing of the dishes coming out was perfect. The food was fantastic. We can't wait for our next visit!

    You just cant do any better in Cincinnati if you want Great food, Great view, and outstanding service! I got the Cioppino Extra spicy and its always fantastic, my wife ordered the fish special with Crabmeat and it was outstanding. Mine was so good I got 2 Cioppino's to go! It freezes very well. I have been dining at Primavista for many years, Debora has always been my waitress for many years, you wont find anyone that's better in the industry. The bonus with Debora is she is a great person, Great personality, and she really cares for her customers. Everyone there is friendly and appreciative that you chose to dine with Primavista that evening, they want to make it a special night for you. Primavista is a real Gem in Cincinnati, looking forward to my next visit. I like in Louisville, KY and drive to Cincinnati to dine at Primavista, then stay overnight and drive back the next day....that kinda says it all doesnt it!

    The food, the view, the service. All outstanding. The decor is a bit dated, but all eyes are on the view anyway. We love the food, think it is a good value and an overall great experience. We’ll be back
