I had this Italian restaurant bookmarked for a while and finally visited for dinner last week after attending a nearby meeting. When I walked in I immediately liked the interior which had a homey neighborhood and cute feel to it. There is a small bar inside along with an L shaped dining room along with some covered outside seating too. I ordered the La Bravura entree for $18. It arrived less than 15 minutes later with some complimentary french bread toasted and buttered. It was a large plate of meat sauce and meat balls with sautéed mushrooms, onions and bell peppers on a bed of spaghetti. I enjoyed every bite. The marinara had good flavor, the meat balls were soft and tender with no knife needed to cut them and the vegetables were cooked properly. Very simply it was a delicious and filling meal that I would be happy to order again. Table service was prompt and professional.Prima Pasta is a very good restaurant and while I don't frequent this part of town often, I will return.

Cozy atmosphere, attentive staff, and great portion sizes! Both dishes that I tried were phenomenal. Hit my Italian food craving right on the mark. I'll definitely be back to try more in the future!Try the broccoli cheese soup as well, it was amazing as well!

Came here for a friend's birthday dinner. It was a cozy restaurant, but the food was disappointing. Got the prima pasta, but sub'd the olive oil dressing for Alfredo sauce. Portion size was good, but it was very salty. I had an upset stomach after it. My friends didn't like their marinara based pastas either. I would not recommend eating here if you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine.

Ordered a tray of the Chicken Parmesan and it was delicious, full of flavor and soooo fresh! This was my first time having anything from here and I'll definitely be back. We also had a nice fresh salad with our pasta and garlic bread. My friend was saying how wonderful the staff were when taking their order and when picking it up. They provided to go plates, napkins, and utensils. I definitely recommend this for individual meals or those that are feeding a group like we did. KUDOS!

Honestly, it was definitely consumable. I took it home and due to the amount of money I paid, I WILL BE EATING IT (adding parsley, onion powder, garlic, salt, SEASONING in general). Not sure where the crazy amount of 5 star reviews are from, but I certainly disagree. Even in those 5 star reviews, you can view the lack of seasoning in the pasta sauce, vegetables and meat. My partner got the marinara with grilled chicken and vegetables and unfortunately the sauce looked bland and tasted like tomato sauce from a can. No seasonings are apparent except for a bit of fresh parsley (which implies it was added afterwards as in this was cooked with zero seasoning). The waitress was nice and attentive, as well as the ambiance was nice but aside from that, I would not go here again. This was very much not worth the near $20 for each individual plate. To repeat, it was certainly consumable but resembled what I would call my "struggle meal" (pasta and butter and salt, except there was no salt in this).

This is my default go to for Italian with the delivery services. The food is consistently good and the prices are reasonable. I usually order the eggplant parmesan and vegetable lasagna. The vegetable lasagna is a really good deal and has a good variety of texture from the vegetables. The portion of the eggplant parmesan and its accompanying noodles are just right and won't leave you feeling too heavy afterwards.I have also eaten here in person, but made the mistake of sitting at the bar. The bar can be hounded by delivery people waiting to pick up the orders especially on a holiday. Even if you're a single diner, I recommend sitting at a table. The ambiance is dark with a mix of families and couples dining. Service is friendly.It doesn't seem like a mom&pop place but it is definitely the better neighbourhood Italian spot in the area compared to say... Olive Garden.

Our son told us we needed to try this place so we did. He recommended the Prima Pasta, their most popular dish, so I did. It was very tasty. Angel hair pasta tossed in olive oil with sauteed garlic, basil, pine nuts, parmesan cheese, fresh tomatoes along with sundried ones, I asked for chicken instead of shrimp.....it was really good. They brought some freshly baked garlic bread. My wife enjoyed a side of meatballs and a cup of shrimp and vegetable soup, both dishes were a hit with both of us. Great service by Marissa. We'll be back for more goodies.

I ordered a takeout of Lasagna earlier. This is my favorite dish from here, along with the chicken piccata & cream noodles and angel hair & meat sauce. The lasagna I purchased was very delicious with a great casserole texture, nicely moist and contained an abundance of ingredients. The meat was well-seasoned. The pasta was fresh. The white cheese was rich and flavorful. The red sauce was very good, prominent in tomato base, soothing, not too salty and kind of sweet. It was mild, but very tasty and aromatic mixing perfectly with the rest of the savory components. The complimentary garlic bread was very well-made, herby and crispy with supple oven-baked taste, garlic and oil. The service was very welcoming, friendly and efficient from the owner. Great little Italian cafe in Houston for over three decades.

Stopped here for lunch and we got in and out in less than an hour. Would be good for folks who work and only have an hour for lunch. We're retired so it doesn't matter. I ordered the chicken piccata and my spouse ordered pasta with marinara sauce and sausage. Both were yummy! We'll go back.

An authentic neighborhood gem. Homey, friendly, and reasonably priced. Really enjoyed my evening there with friends.
