Primavera has known many lives as both restaurant and residence. Originally built by a member of the Purdy family, one of the original settlers in the area, it was also known as the 1864 House, so named for its date of construction. Although the building has been renovated several times, the bones of the house are still recognizable, especially as one looks up to the charming garret, whose flat roof, sometimes called a widow’s walk, often served as an observation platform.

Mona Trattoria, a family-operated Italian restaurant that operated for some 30 years, followed after the home was converted to a restaurant. In 2002, actor Stanley Tucci bought it and renamed it Finch Tavern, renovating it with dark wood shutters and soft yellow banquettes that feel fresh today. In 2006, Jimmy Gjevukaj and his family took over the premises and relaunched the restaurant as Primavera, continuing the tradition of fine Italian dining in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

    Our experience was less than perfect. Service was inattentive and the bill was presented with multiple extra charges for items we did not order. A great argument ensued between waitstaff. Apologies were not satisfactory. The food was not quite up to par. We will give this restaurant a vacation.

    What a disappointment! We were so excited to try this beautiful restaurant. We met my brother-in-law and sister-in-law since the destination was halfway for each of us. We’re Italian and love good food! When we arrived for our reservation no one was there to greet us. My husband finally went to the bar and found the mature d hanging out talking to someone. We were then seated at a very nice window table. The appetizers were good but the entrees were nothing special and the red sauce on the pasta dishes tasted like it was from a jar. The service was terrible, we were always searching for our waiter who never checked on how our meals were or to see if we needed drinks. Desert was delicious! We had carrot cake and some kind of coconut cake/ pie! We will not be returning

    My wife and I went there for her Birthday. We ordered the artichoke appetizer special which was delicious. I had the Halibut and my wife had the Dover Sole. Both excellent. We almost always go there for Birthdays and anniversaries. Service is top notch. Never had a bad meal.

    "I love the relaxed feel of this place – like a comfortable dining room in a friends home. I 've been here several times. Will definitely be back as long as the food stays the same and the attentiveness of the current staff remains in place. Poor service always trumps great food!

    Excellent- we met up with 6 other guests and knew this go-to restaurant would be consistent and it always is. The entrees were all delicious, especially the chicken parm, chicken Francese and linguini vongole. The wait staff is always attentive and accommodating. Happy to have such a wonderful Italian restaurant locally. Will be returning :)

    Appetizer of fried calamari had hair attached to the pieces. We felt at the least we should not have to pay that part of the bill. However it was not removed from the bill. Probably will not be returning

    Six of had an early dinner on a Sunday. First, the restaurant itself is so pretty and welcoming. Tables are not right on top of each other so you feel very comfortable. The service, wow, was fantastic. The busboys/waiters were so attentive and friendly and helpful. The food was outstanding. Prices for this area were a little high but it is definitely on our list to go back.

    The place is very pleasant and upscale environment. Service helpful and professional. Menu looks great. Food seems pedestrian. Liked it the first time, this second time was a disappointment. I'll give it one more try. Chicken giamboti not like mom used to make. I'll say that.

    This was my first time at Primavera. Went for lunch on a Wednesday with a friend. We sat outside on screened in porch. Very pleasant! The wait staff were attentive and friendly. The food was delicious!! And very reasonable. The restaurant was not all that busy and I highly recommend going for lunch.

    Waiters could not understand us Brought the wrong drink order twice. Drinks were just ok and house wine tasted like it’s screw top. Crab cocktail was good but fried calamari ( which waiter came back to check the order) was greasy and bland. Mushrooms sauce on the papardelle tasted canned and pasta was not fresh. Chilean sea bass was smothered in goo and the chewy fish unrecognizable. Scallops and crab also had goopy sauce covering rubber. Nowhere did the menu say that there would be gravy or whether it was gf, as the wheat allergy I specified in the reservation was completely ignored. The only salvageable entree was chicken francese. This place needs to go back to basic, simply prepared dishes. All the sauces and complicated preparations are hindering rather than enhancing the flavor. Waited 20 minutes for the check which came from a guy we’d never seen prior.

    Went with friends for restaurant week. This is far from where we live, so we decided to try new places. Food was delicious, portions generous. The dining room charming with lovely, woodsy views. The mussel entree was the best I've ever had. Tirimisu was perfect. I had chicken piedmont and it was great, one friend had salmon and another had pasta. We all agreed to return. So, so good. The service was perfect.
