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.

Meh. The food used to be so much better. The meatballs were tough. $4 per person for a bread basket they don’t even refill. Unsalted Olive oil and vinegar dip for the bread. Over garlicky mashed potatoes. Indifferent Marsala sauce on tough pork cutlets. Honestly this place is sad. Corporate Marriott restaurants have better food. This was very sad. The JW deserves better food in all aspects.

We both enjoyed our dinners, however the menu is not expansive. Would have liked to have seen more choices. Cocktails are expensive for their size.

Didn’t seem very busy but food took over 1.5 hours to come out. Steak chimichurri didn’t have any flavor.
