Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Primavista offers a delightful dining experience with "fantastic food" and "outstanding service" paired with "stunning views" of Cincinnati. The menu features Italian cuisine, with highlights like veal piccata and calamari. Although the decor may be dated, the view and dishes more than compensate. Ideal for special occasions.

    Our server, Grace, was absolutely excellent. We were always given exactly the right amount of time to enjoy each course. Her explanations of the added specials that evening were on the mark. We loved the tender calamari appetizer as well as the mussels in white wine sauce with tasty toast points! Our entrees, veal piccata and veal Marsala, will definitely keep us returning to Primavista. The veal dishes are as excellent as we’ve tasted in Italy! Our bottle of Nebbiolo wine was yummy! My dessert was the cocktail with lemon sorbet and limoncello served in a martini glass. Wonderful! We will look forward to the next time we dine here!!!

    We had a very peaceful evening, and the food was wonderful. I take one bite out of my filet, and we make two salads the next evening. Ali even offered to get me a little cup of their demi glaze, because I always manage to spill some of mine on the way home.

    The good news is the food was very good. Our party of four really enjoyed our dishes and dessert. Plus Jillian our server did a great job. Sadly this place needs a facelift. The view is still amazing but the decor is very dated, the restaurant is located in an apartment building so as you enter you likely will see residents milling around the main entrance. As I walk in the younger male host just looked at me with no greeting whatsoever. We sat with great view but seeing a few flies on our window along with these other issues sort of lessens the overall experience. Hopefully they can control some of these better because the view and food were very good.

    Great food, service and food so no more to be said except we appreciated very much that Prima Vista does not play loud, booming awful music as this seems to be a nasty common trend at more and more restaurants.

    Our salmon and veal piccata was amazing. My mother in law's friend could not cut her food due to an injury - so the waitress did it for herl Amazing! Great service.
