   We have been going there every single year for our anniversary and special events for almost 30 years. Been to a lot of other restaurants over the years and this is still our favorite. Debra was our server last night and she was amazing. Food was delicious as always. View is the best in the city. Their attention to detail is the best. And the chef doesn't get enough accolades, but his menu, and for me the filet mignon every time, is one of the best in the midwest. Thank you Primavista for being our favorite dining destination in greater Cincinnati!

   This was my first visit since the pandemic. Very happy to see that the quality is still excellent, and ironically, though most people would say it is rather expensive -- their prices have not gone up nearly as much as many fast food and family oriented places, so, it seemed like a good value as well. I also like it that they haven't gone with the trend of loud music -- there is very soft music, so, people don't have to talk loudly, so it's a pleasant environment. The service was attentive and not rushed -- this isn't the place to go if you want to get in, eat, and get out in less than an hour --- it's a place to relax, enjoy the city view, and enjoy their classic dishes.

    Anniversary dinner, It’s always pleasant and the food is very good. The service was a little slow but the place was very crowded. I can’t imagine the kitchen on an evening like that. The food was excellent but to be honest the bread isn’t very good. It used to be much better.

    Having been here many times over the past 25 years, PrimaVista never fails to impress! The service and food are excellent, but…you simply cannot get enough of the view of Cincinnati from the top of Price Hill!! If you are from the area and haven’t been here, that is a shame! If you are visiting Cincinnati, you need to eat here!!!!

    My wife and I ate there for our 15th wedding anniversary. It could not have been better. The food and the view were incredible. Our serve Jillian was wonderful and very helpful. They went out of their way to get us the best table too. On top of all that, a thunderstorm went over downtown, and at the end of our meal there was a double rainbow! Highly recommend.

    Went for our anniversary. They honored our request to be seated near the window. Our server was friendly and helpful. The bruschetta and calamari appetizers were recommended and more than lived up to expectations. The cocktails were spot on. (Bar did not have a huge selection, but definitely should have something for everyone.) My wife thoroughly enjoyed her seafood cioppino. I had the veal piccata. The sides were fantastic (green beans, polenta). The piccata sauce was good, but the veal was a bit tough. I haven’t eaten veal in at least 20 years, so I figured it wasn’t as good as I remembered, but several people since have told me veal should be always be fork tender. This one wasn’t. The flavor was good, but I guess it may have been over-cooked. (I didn’t mention anything, so the restaurant didn’t have a chance to correct any potential issue.) We we’re given complementary champagne and gelato for our celebration, which was a nice touch. The view was wonderful, but I do wish we had dined later, as I’m guessing it’s spectacular as the sun sets and the city lights come on. Would definitely recommend and come come back again.

    We were spoiled, as usual. Sustained, consistent excellence. Will be taking Ray Jirousek (Cleveland, son graduated from CIA) to Ron's Roast on Monday, because you're closed. I gave two $100 certificates to my primary care doctor several years ago -- anonymously. I never told him who gave him those Christmas presents until Thursday. He said if he had known who gave him the gifts he would have had to decline to accept them because of doctor ethics. After I pressed him, he said he had never been to such a nice place, the food was excellent, and they were treated very well. Of course, I said, "Mention our name; they know us." It's simple, John and his family, the Chef, and staff do an absolutely wonderful job of making people feel special. I'm glad that young man pouring the water got his braces off. His smile is radiant!
