About this restaurant

Stepping inside Prima Pasta in Houston is like stepping foot in Italy. Aside from the windows that provide street views of the surrounding neighborhood, large murals featuring views of waterways and Italian shops transport diners to another time and place. Prima Pasta offers up Italian fare in a warm, inviting and family-friendly environment that is filled with a relaxing and somewhat intimate ambiance. The main menu contains several Italian classics such as calamari fritti, pasta primavera, shrimp scampi and red snapper. There is also a vegetarian menu with tossed green salad, eggplant parmesan panini, vegetable lasagna and fettuccine alfredo. Prima Pasta also offers catering and family-sized portions to accommodate large groups and special events.

    I thought this was a true Italian restaurant but I was way off. The place is not authentic Italian food so if you are looking for that I would suggest you find another place. Overall the food was okay. The place wasn't real clean. I would not go back.

    Nice quiet little Italian restaurant. Large helpings so bring an appetite. Not your conventional preparation but more traditional. Had the spaghetti in meat sauce with meat balls which was delicious and hearty. Lots of large portions of fresh vegetables mixed in with the sauce which I have never had prepared that way before except for in Little Italy in NY. Highly recommend.

    The food, service, location, and staff were nothing short of excellent! We were celebrating the cancer free report for our 23 year old beautiful, special, special, young lady that has been fighting this dread disease for more than three years. God is so good! The choice to meet at Prima Pasta made the evening a night to remember. Thank you for allowing us to make the evening a moment to always remember!

    We met another couple for a night out and chose Prima Pasta for our dinner location. This place has a great ambient feel inside IF you aren't sat by the kitchen doors. It was busy, so we got over that... But what we couldn't over look was the subpar service from our waitress. She was NOT attentive, we constantly had to flag her down to remove empty food plates, and to refill glasses in front of us. So irritating and frankly she really killed what would have been a overall enjoyable dinner. Food was decent and I would have like to go back... But great service is everything!!

    We went on New Year's Day with my daughter and her family for dinner. The food was really delicious and the portions were very generous. We're big eaters and we had take-home boxes. There was a very good traditional Italian menu along with Americanized favorites. Prices are great and service was attentive. It's close to the zoo.
