    We were welcome to a small free appetizer curtesy of the chef and our server gave us an immersive and informative experience. We ordered the braised short rib that melted in your mouth and the chitarra nero that had a unique assortment of taste and flavors. We were then again given a small dessert and ordered the caramelized bread pudding to round the night out.

    The food and service was amazing! However, the restaurant is far too loud and the tile floor looks cheap! The restaurant needs to seriously address the noise level. The restaurant is an upscale restaurant with the ambiance and decor of a much lower scale restaurant.

    I recently dined at Primo and had an exceptional experience. The service was excellent, and the food, particularly the house-made pasta, was truly phenomenal. I'm eagerly anticipating my next visit to try the primo affogato. I highly recommend indulging in the bread service; the 31-year-old Leviathan sourdough bread is incredible, especially when dipped in the 12-year-aged balsamic and olive oil. However, it's worth noting that the noise level was quite high, requiring us to repeat ourselves in conversation. The ambient noise from nearby tables and the general restaurant atmosphere made it challenging. Additionally, there were remnants of food on one of the chairs and under the table, which was a minor but noticeable downside to an otherwise fantastic dining experience.

    Their display of bread is very enticing as you enter. When did bread become “a service” that you have to purchase? We’ve noticed that at every restaurant since we arrived. This time we leaned in, ha. Very nice bright space. Welcoming staff. Four of us: two had the same salad, two had the same entree. The Kale salad was robust and very substantial as well as delicious. The grilled Cobia (fish) was cooked nicely and was perched atop a grain mixture. Love that concept but wow! a lot of garlic. Drank a lot of water as a result and later had to eat chocolate in hopes of diminishing that aftertaste. It was good going down however. Next time I’d like to try a pasta dish, they looked appealing.
