Primavera Ristorante

great atmosphere, excellent service from the staff.the sourdough bread appetizer was warm and soft inside, and the spread is perfect combo and was a hit at our table.i ordered the bolognese plate which was delicious

My family's experience at Primavera was definitely worth writing a review for. We arrived right as they opened so there wasn't a wait at all. We started off with drinks & bread. The bread was warm & very tasty sourdough loafs. Our server was super kind & attentive throughout the night. Everyone's plates looked very delicious & well presented. In the video you'll see the Blackened Salmon Caesar salad, the jambalaya, and the Chicken piccata. The Salmon was excellent, packed with flavor & still very juicy when it got to me. Lemon tart for dessert was also very good. I do not believe they are made in house. The only issue there may be for some is that the tables are quite close together and noise does carry. Not meant for a quiet conversation. Very lively. I can't wait to go back & enjoy a nice meal.

Food (I had the gnocchi): Good (and a generous portion), 4 out of 5Service: Fair, 3 out of 5Ambience: Fair (pleasant appearance but very noisy), 3 out of 5Value: Could be better (rather expensive for lunch), 2 out of 5Overall: FairWould I come back? Yes, especially since there are a lot of appealing items on the menu, but I'd try to come when it's less busy. The food was good enough that I'd give 4 stars if it weren't for the service, ambience, and value being mediocre.

Made a reservation and came to celebrate a birthday and our food was forgotten and we waited over 1.5 hours to get our entrees after inquiring with two staff there.Even with the reservation it took a while to get seated although our table was open, we had to re-ask the hostess.Food flavors were lacking also the chefs looked so busy and were doing their best I'm sure. Two large tables next to us got their meals before us even though we were seated first. Then after asking the staff they said they would check and no food came out for 15 minutes so we asked again. If you forgot our food, wouldn't they be next in line to be brought out? It was really frustrating and we were starving by then. Only bright spot was they did give us a discount for the wait and for the birthday celebration they comped the dessert. Overall super disappointing experience and the food was not worth the wait. The waiters also kept bumping into us since we were sat on the corners and everyone was rushing around tight spaces but they still didn't come refill our drinks or notice that we didn't get our food until we flagged them down. Really wanted to support a family owned spot but the service and food we received was not it.

We haven't been here in YEARS since we were closer to Albatross, before they closed. So decided we wanted to pick up some take out for dinner since it was a long day of housecleaning and didn't feel like cooking. No dishes to wash The online order was ready when Hubs went to pick up. Unfortunately, by the time the paperbag full of to go containers got home, some of the juice from the clams linguini spilled and left a small puddle on the seat, left a trail of juice into the kitchen floor, and in the bag, leaving me to clean some more. Ugh.After the mess was wiped up, we dived right into the food....only to find no utensils, or parmesean cheese as I clearly requested that in my order. Smh.DD loved her chicken parm where as Hubs thought the angel hair lacked flavor.My clams linguini was one of my favorites in the past. Unfortunately last night, it missed the mark. Aside from it being dryer than usual, the juice spilling out before I had a chance to enjoy it. It lacked flavor too. A pinch of salt would have done wonders. They used a different type of clam than I remember. Little neck? Also the shelled pieces weren't the freshest (tasting on the verge of going bad) that I decided to skip the last piece, not wanting to end up in the restroom. For $33, I wouldn't order this as a take out again.Good thing I had my antipasto meatballs, which I remember was always good. It was. Packed with flavor at every bite. The sauce was just how I like it with just ebough acidity and cheese.There was also their freshly baked warm bread to go with our meal, which I am glad was remembered.I ordered a slice of cheesecake to end our meal. It was barely a thin sliver (larger than an airplane size serving) that wasn't quite enough to share for 3. It was my favorite item of the night, full of mascapone cheese flavor in every bite. Just wish there was more.Next time I will probably stick to the bolognese pasta, as that was my go to back in the days. It would be the safe option.

I was craving carbonara, and was so glad we found this spot in the area. We didn't have reservations but were sat very quickly and service was great. They brought out a complimentary warm sourdough with this tomato, cheese and garlic sauce which was amazing!!! The carbonara was made with prosciutto which I haven't tried before but it definitely didn't disappoint, it was super fresh, tasty and a big portion too. The vibe is super cozy and traditional, great for family outings.

The pasta carbonara was delicious. First time trying the strawberry pear salad. At first I was questioning the cheese and dressing, but ended up loving it.

Great food, atmosphere and service. Great place to come get a bite and walk the beautiful neighborhood.

My husband and I have been visiting Primavera (what we lovingly call "Pasta P") for years. We have always thought of it as our local staple comfort- consistently great. Both good and bad times have been spent under this roof, and in the ultra bad times quite a few DoorDash orders have been made. It appears that ownership changed- I've been told by an employee that it was taken on by the former Albatross owner, but that's unconfirmed hearsay. However, there is an uncanny resemblance to Albatross in the new stunning aesthetic and decor... but unfortunately quality of food and service does not align (which is frankly why Albatross didn't last). Visit after visit, the food and service has declined over the last year plus. More times than not, we have tried to stop by only to be greeted by a locked door when the restaurant was supposed to be open. Our visits have declined as the dependability of our beloved "Pasta P" even being open has drifted away. Unfortunately after our latest experience, I think our time has come to end our visits. We came in at 5:30 on a slow Friday- we placed our orders and then we waited..... and waited........... and waited. Personally, I enjoy waiting for my food to come at a restaurant- I probably have more patience than the standard patron. My husband and I are workaholics and this kind of quality time does not come often. I enjoy a delay in my food being served because it means more time enjoying the moment. However, this wait was so bizarrely long that I thought that our food may have been delivered to the wrong table. After almost an hour, our server stopped by to let us know that our food would be right out... Perfect! It wasn't lost! Five minutes after that, another employee stopped by to apologize to my husband because the special of the day that he ordered was "sold out" and asked what he would like instead... Over an HOUR after ordering?????? To be blunt, that is so beyond unacceptable that there is no excuse to explain it... we were honestly speechless. After a moment to process, we asked to cancel my dinner order so we could leave and I could make us a quick dinner at home. The manager made us wait another 5 minutes for the bill so he could apologize beforehand and let us know that he paid for the $10 side Caesar salad we shared during our hour long wait... great?To add insult to injury, when the bill came the tip breakdown was based on the original bill total (before removing my husband's dish that was "sold out" an hour after he ordered, before removing my dish that we canceled, and before removing the $10 Caesar salad that they covered). This made the tip well over double of the services that were actually received!!I am no Karen. I have worked in the customer service industry for 14 years and I am the last person to give a hard time to someone in the service world... Franky, I give Olympic sized swimming pools of buffer to those in the service industry because I absolutely understand. However, this was so grossly mishandled that my patience buffer has been capped. To forget an order, make the table wait an hour, not comp the meal, and then try to trick us into a higher value tip? No way. I am out. We will cherish our memories of you "Pasta P", but this relationship is no longer working for us. I think it would be best for us to part ways, and we will cheer you on from afar.

We made reservations for. Valentines here. They had a pre fix menu which was expensive $58 for chicken Marsala that came out undercooked cold and with hardly any Marsala sauce. I had to request more on the side. The carrots were also not properly braisedbut the mash potatoes were good. My husband ordered short ribs which were okay and had the same veggies as the Marsala,but definitely not worth $68 charge There beet salad lacked adequate dressing. The dessert was petite four from a box which we saw them opening and putting on a plate and tasted not fresh. The flourless chocolate cake was the only thing we enjoyed. Service was good but Not going back again here.
