    This experience was great. We were able to sit in the Rose room in the back of the restaurant. Beautiful setting and perfect ambience. The food was excellent, and the prices are extremely low given the quality of the food. Service was excellent and everything was beyond our expectation. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

    Prima was great. Our server was truly what made it worth it. We were there for brunch & the blueberry swirl sooo good. Honestly the apps were better than the entree. So pretty. Parking tough but the restaurant was great. Will go back for dinner at some point!

    Went to Prima for my anniversary dinner and couldn’t say enough good things about the food and staff. Our server was fantastic. The whole waitstaff was so accommodating and really helped make the night feel special. The food and drinks were excellent across the board, and the atmosphere was top-notch. We’re incredibly thankful for the entire experience and will definitely be making this a go-to spot!

    We ate outside and it was bustling! Concert in the park, lots of happy people out and about. Great energy around. Food amazing! The sweet man who greeted us must have been the owner. Lovely . Filleppe was a great waiter! 10/10 for the night. On to concert Barry Manilow 😊Thank you

    Though we ran behind a little bit to our reservation, I still called ahead to be communicative and understand how restaurants operate out of courtesy to their kitchen. The ambience was nice but the seating near the bar in hightops off the banquette could use a little adjustment as I am a taller guy and got hit numerous times by passing traffic. An established restaurant company should know bottlenecks in their flow as to 1, not have their guests being accosted through their meal and 2, jeopardizing the experience or potentially collisions with dishes or beverages being spilled and losing dish/glassware. We understood the kitchen was closing and made haste to order as quickly as possible, however, seeing as it was my first time visiting and we made that clear, one would assume we would be met with some remote interest in caring about our experience as opposed to being given poor, rushed and disinterested recommendations. I wanted to order the Arancini but the waiter zipped away because we were over the amount of syllables alotted to our EOD rezzy. Maybe I'll get to try it when I order from literally anywhere that's not trying to kick us out without an app course. We sat at 950 and ordered by 956... our food came out about 1004 and once I ordered an entire bottle of wine (when I dont even drink) to increase the waiters tip % he changed his tone and offered us dessert by the end! Lol I had the Bolo, the ziti was nice but the sauce was doused in herbs almost as if to distract at the extremely toughened and salty meat. For $28 it better be amazing considering Prima is two minutes from North End. Tiramisu is my favorite dessert from the age of 5 and try it at every restaurant I go to unless they've tried to deviate from the recipe - which is why I didnt have any of the strawberry tiramisu. At any rate, I hope your experiences are different than mine. Seems promising but maybe they need an expert to enhance their vision. This is why I've retired from opening places

    Crowded with high energy, the food is good but somewhat pricey for what it is.
