    It is the next morning after my visit to Prima and I am already wondering when I can get another visit on my calendar. Everything was phenomenal! Emily M was our server and she was the best! My roommate is gluten free and she shared all of the gluten free options and her personal favorites since she herself was gluten free! It was awesome- she was attentive and always checked in at exactly the right moment. I enjoyed a glass of Savvy B, a Cosmo, and one of the tiramisu espresso martinis and all of them were to die for (don't even get me started on the marscapone cream!!) We both got the Penne Alla Vodka and it was so good I dreamed about it. The chili crunch added the nicest bit of spice to the dish. I am legitimately itching to go back.

    The restaurant is cozy (i.e. small), but they use the space well. Food, drinks, ambiance, and service are 10/10. My guests had dietary restrictions that the kitchen was able to accommodate easily (including veganism). Overall, a great birthday dinner experience! I'll be back.

    We had a great experience at Bar’Cino. We brought our friend and her family to celebrate her birthday. We were sat in a lovely booth and enjoyed the fabulous meal. The food is very good and the atmosphere is lively, but not too noisy. We are lucky to have such a great neighborhood place.

    This was our first time here but definitely not the last. We were expecting a chain type feel and ok food and we’re pleasantly surprised. The green salad and ragu - delicious! The tiramisu was he best we’ve ever tasted. The wine selection reminded us of our Sicily trip. We will be back.
