    Had been wanting to come to Prima for some time and it did not disappoint! We got the steak tartare and Caesar salad to start and they were both outstanding. Great flavor on the steak tartare and Caesar salad had dressing and cheese in every bite. For our mains, we got the veal chop Parmesan and the rigatoni vodka and they were both so flavorful and generously portioned. We left full and happy! The cocktails were also original and refreshing. Will definitely be back!

    Our server, Tom, was absolutely fantastic! We were dining as a late Valentine’s Day and he made the experience very special. He was quick, knowledgeable, fun, and attentive. Food was also fantastic as always.

    I brought my nephew to Gluten free Monday. He has serious food allergies and does not often get to experience dining out. The wait staff (Ryan) and Manager, Maureen made him feel exptra special and paid very careful attention to his significant allergies. We had a great evening and I will definitely go back! Thank you!

    It was my birthday dinner and quite honestly they were rude start to finish. Made us wait 30 minutes for our table then sat us right next to the door, there were heaters on the table but we were still freezing. And after a 30 minute wait we expected better. Our server was short with us and it took me 20 minutes to find him again to order a glass of wine. Then they told us at the front podium that if they cut the cake it would be an extra charge, so we said dont worry we will cut it. The waiter brought out the cake so anticlimactically, then left us with just a butter knife. We made the best of it and cut a piece out. He comes back and looks shocked saying that the kitchen was going to cut it and they would have charged us either way. They come back out with the entire cake cut into 5 pieces and my slice was the only one that was completely falling apart. When it was time for the bill, the cake charge was 20 dollars extra. Overall, the ambience was great but for how much we paid, this experience was not worth it.

    My family took me for my birthday. The warmth and coziness of the restaurant was like a hug. The food was excellent and portions were very large. I will definitely be going back.
