Had a special occasion to celebrate so we made reservations here for a Sunday evening dinner at 6:30.Arriving earlier than expected, we walked upstairs and were warmly greeted and immediately sat at our table. Our server Krystal too great care of us the whole evening.We decided to split a bottle of wine and the hardest part about the menu was deciding. Krystal made some interjections and recommendations while we had decisions paralysis, but ended up going with the Shrimp St Thomas, arugula salad, veal melanese, house chop salad and Scottish Salmon. Everything was delicious! There was warm bread with beans while settling in and we decided on a lemocello martini as our dessert.Krystal did come out with a piece of lemon cake with a candle for the birthday celebration and perfect way to end the evening.Overall the restaurant seemed like we had the place to ourselves and the bar area was busy but all we could hear was indistinguishable chatter and laughs. I can see this place being crazy when it's peak, but I loved the fact that our quiet birthday celebration was nice and intimate.

Truly fantastic Italian food! We loved the two pasta dishes we got. Still dreaming about the gnocchi. Also loved the white bean dip and bread! The parking lot was almost filled up at 7 on a weeknight but we managed to find a spot. We had a pleasant walk around the cute neighborhood before dinner. We will be back!

I stopped into primo prime with my parents for my dads bday and we had a great time! They have a small parking lot, so I ended up finding a close street spot but maybe be a little early in case you aren't so lucky. I started out w a cucumber collins cocktail and it was very yummy.For starters we ordered the eggplant rollatini and the spinach ricotta gnocchi which were delicious. If I go back I would definitely order the gnocchi again they just melted in your mouth and were topped with butter and Parmesan - what else could one want??For my main I ordered the peppercorn steak - why did I do this at an Italian restaurant?? I don't know. It was pretty good but I definitely ended up eating more of my dads linguine and the special pasta dish of the night that came with lamb that my mom ordered.For dessert, I got the tiramisu and an espresso martini. The martini came with a lemon peel which I didn't really like, but the dessert was tasty.I'd definitely come back again!!

That's amore paisanos! This was our first time at Primo Prime, and we had a great experience from beginning to end.Our server was attentive and helped us make our selections. For starters, he brought us a soft, crusty bread served with a tasty bean bruschetta. We opted for the steak carpaccio appetizer, which was flavorful and full of arugula - a nice surprise! I had the salmon which was cooked to perfection and enhanced by the fried kale - yum! Hubby enjoyed the pasta bolognese. Kudos to the bartender for the generous pour of Perolla! It's a small restaurant, but the tables were spaciously separated and the noise level was minimal. Great spot for a date night or special occasion meal.

Service was amazing we had a bit of everything the eggplant rollatini was amazing I can say that much. As for the veal I found it a bit chewy and the Alfredo was a bit watery. All and all I can say I gave them 3 stars because of the service but for 600.00 a party of 6 with 4 kids and a bottle of wine I would expect this food to be awesome. Unfortunately I don't think I would return as the beef carpaccio was over dressed. Could not taste the meat. The spinach ricotta was so dense and not very flavorful. The duck was over cooked sent back and over cooked again. Creamed spinach needs a lot of help again watery. So all and all if the server was not so good the food was not impressive. If I ever do go back I promise to review it again but I can't say run here to eat dinner.

Came here for restaurant week. I've never even heard of this place before, but my friend went through the restaurant week list to choose someplace we've never been and chose this one. First, It's a bit confusing to find the restaurant. I saw the sign on the building so walked in... um, it was a different restaurant called Zio. Turns out Primo Prime is up the stairs on the outside. They could really use a sign with an arrow near the stairs to point you in the right direction. I got the crab cake to start off. It was ok. Alot of breading and could use more sauce underneath. I was close to getting the squid ink ravioli but glad I didn't. A girl in the group got it and ended up sending it back because she didn't like it. One gal got the 8 oz by strip steak and said it was good. I got the lamb shank over risotto. It was very good but definately needed more risotto. I got the tiramisu for dessert and liked it. It did not have a strong coffee flavor, thank goodness.

One of the best spots in Myers Park. It's not flashy or gimmicky, it's just a perfect place to get incredible Italian food with great service!

I had a friend swear by this place (the food and service). I decided to give it a try this week and was very disappointed. The server seemed inexperienced in the restaurant industry and made many mistakes. I waited for a water refill twice. My food was not good and left my stomach hurting for hours after. The ambiance was very loud. I wouldn't return to this establishment. There are way nicer restaurants around the area to include food and service!
