    Primavista never disappoints, and, the special 3-course menu on Wed. and Thurs. is always a good value. We went early and it was VERY quiet in the restaurant. Service is always attentive but not stuffy. We both thought the salad greens were rather tough and large pieces of dark green lettuce, but other than that -- everything was excellent and presented nicely. Their bread with roasted garlic puree is included and is a great start to the meal.

    All the food was excellent. The goat cheese and honey bruschetta was possibly the best thing I’ve ever eaten and I’ve lived in NYC for 25 years. I don’t know about all the service but our server, Alex, was professional and kind and funny and engaged with us just enough so that we had a fun time without ever overstaying a server’s welcome. Well done!!
