    If you're looking for an elevated Italian dining experience in Saskatoon, Primal is a must-visit. From the moment we walked in, the quiet, intimate atmosphere set the tone for a relaxing evening. We opted for the five-course tasting menu, and it was exceptional from start to finish. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and bursting with flavor. The ingredients were clearly fresh, and the presentation showed real attention to detail. By the end of the meal, we were more than satisfied — comfortably full and completely impressed. A special shoutout goes to our server, Sam, who was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. They ensured the pacing of the meal was perfect and made the entire experience seamless. Whether you're a fan of traditional Italian cuisine or looking for a modern twist, Primal delivers on all fronts. We'll definitely be back.

    Absolutely the best dining experience in Saskatoon. Orders pasta individually and try the steak to share family style. Better than the Granary,Keg, Chop and Cut all combined.

    Local intel had promised good food, wine and creative menus…the intel was delivered. In town for a conference, I lured two others away from the closing event to join me for the tasting menu. Two of our party added the wine pairing. The serving staff were welcoming, informative and lively. Five course menu highlights: Fried bread was a fabulous cross between a Sicilian hot oil cooked pane and bannock. So, so good. Choice of three salads; endive and blue cheese, beetroot or spring greens…all delicious! Prosecco of course. Bison carpaccio or prosciutto with pine nuts…we all chose the Bison. OMG. A Sicilian rose. Choice of pasta for third course. A myriad of house made pastas. We went with two orders of the northern pike stuffed ravioli and a carbonara. Remarkably delicious…would have loved a taste of all the pastas! A lovely, crisp veneto. Fourth plates; two bison steaks with corn succotash and one pork cotechino with broccolini…still in awe. A Chianti and a Montfalco rosso Five course, dessert. Flourless chocolate torte, pavlova and butterscotch budino with maldon salt. An Amaro and a ten year tawny The table consensus, top ten meal of our lives!
