About this restaurant

Great for fine wines
Good for special occasions
Charming

We are honored that Primo has been designated a Recommended Restaurant in the inaugural Florida 2022 MICHELIN Guide. Led by award-winning chef Melissa Kelly, our restaurant serves authentic Italian cuisine, featuring organic produce and a carefully crafted wine list.

The menu focuses on the farm-to-table experience with seasonal highlights including produce, honey and eggs sourced from on-premises Primo Garden and Whisper Creek Farm in addition to Mick's Farm and Frog Song Organics in the local community. All seafood is also locally sourced from Florida waters, including clams from Cedar Key, white shrimp and squid from Cape Canaveral, and Snapper, grouper, and other seasonal catch from Ponce Inlet. Mountain Trail Farm in Clermont, FL provides Primo with whole pigs, which are prepared several different ways. Primo also has a long-standing relationship with Lake Meadows Naturals in Ocoee, FL for chicken and ducks.

Fabulous dinner. Bread service is wonderful. Delicious focaccia with olive oil and aged balsamic. First course was the octopus. Tender and flavorful. I had the bolognese and my husband had the lobster cacio Pepe. Both were perfect. House made pasta with flavorful sauces. It was a birthday celebration and we were served a dessert plate with cannolis, warm chocolate cake and ricotta with fruit. Perfect ending to a delicious meal. Wine list is a little pricey, but we had a Tuscan that was delicious. Service was professional and pleasant. Excellent dinner.

Good food. Great service. Really weird furniture options at a few tables so hopefully you get one of the normal tables with normal chairs. Otherwise, food and service were awesome.

Food was very good. Excellent service!!While prices have gone up everywhere, we were a little shocked that a kettle one martini was $29 on the bill. Do not believe that was a good value at all & it wasn’t a large martini glass to justify. Another specialty drink we had was $19 which we totally get at a JW Marriott. While the meal was good, that was disappointing and taking advantage we thought.

Food was great. Service terrific. However, the pace had a very strong smell from the kitchen. Like the ventilators did not work keeping all smoke and grease inside the dinning area. Very uncomfortable. Also they have on the menu expresso coffee and other drinks made with expresso coffee but did not have any to serve when I requested one , they told me the machine is not working. This has happened the last time I was here. Not a good thing.
