    We went to Primo to celebrate my daughter’s birthday & we had a wonderful time. The food, service, & ambiance were perfect! Our food was cooked perfectly & our waiter was a true professional! We look forward to returning in the near future.

    Hidden gem in Torrance/PV. Food and drinks are excellent and reasonably priced. More authentic Italian than other places in the area. Love the artichoke salad—I could eat this every day. Only criticism is don’t order cannoli if you love cannoli like I do—you will be disappointed.

    Primo Italia has an upscale restaurant appeal with a family communal vibe. My girlfriend and I loved it. The food was great and so was the service. And if you happen to go Wednesday or Friday, you are in luck and might just catch a musical treat. All in all a very fun night. Thank you Primo

    This was our first time here and we were very pleasantly surprised. We are from Chicago, but visit frequently. This is the best Italian food we have had in California. We started with pizza as an appetizer. This is not to be missed. Wood fired with a perfectly done crust and loaded with prosciutto. The sauce was amazing. All of our main courses were well done, and the chocolate slab desert is way better than the name would imply. We will be back.

    Another birthday celebrated! Our server Bruce was beyond outstanding. A party of 7 he remembered everyone’s order with modifications to a T without a note pad. He was so attentive and had an amazing personality. We ordered carpaccio, calamari, Caprese and Cesar salad - perfect! Dinner items were the pasta special, veal, ravioli al funghi and lasagna. They knocked it out of the park. If you want an amazing delicious experience with equally amazing staff this is your place.
