The perfect dinner after attending the CSO. The wine was a perfect match for the butternut ravioli.

Food was superb and dining room was cozy with intimate feel but lit just enough to also lend a lively vibe. Robyn the GM provided a great welcome, and our server Eddy was one of the best in the industry. Kudos to all of the staff. Their wine list is extensive including not on theirs, but Aria restaurant next door. Only one tip: stress if you want your tapas (small plates) delivered in stages. We asked that they be staggered since we ordered a bottle of wine; however, all three arrived at once. Fortunately, we were enjoying the food and drink and ordered more but all small plates shouldn’t arrive at one time. Awesome evening and we would go many times over!

This was our first time at Primo Prime, and it was fabulous! We were immediately greeted upon entry, and seated at a two-top table that was awkwardly added to the end of a booth. But once we sat, it was fine. The restaurant, when full of patrons, was incredibly loud. If we return, we’d likely request a table along the front windows - seemed quieter. The noise was quickly forgotten as we began ordering. Our server, Amanda, was attentive and friendly. Our cocktails were delicious, as was the wine. Then the food. Started with a Caesar salad and grilled romaine salad. Both were excellent. Then we split the daily fish special (sea bass) and the beef tenderloin pappardelle. The pasta is quite literally the best dish I have ever eaten. One piece of the beef was fatty, but the flavor and quality were amazing. The sea bass was also excellent - perfectly cooked, and paired with a delicious lemon butter sauce with artichokes and tomatoes (which we got on the side). Already looking forward to returning.

Great service all around and it’s a cute little spot in LoSo. The atmosphere is perfect for a date night, wine night with friends, or just to have pasta you wouldn’t cook at home. The bruschetta and shrimp fettuccine were great! My wife’s Cavatelli was a tad bit salty but overall we’d go back to try the other dishes, especially the pizza!

Our first time before going to the theater, it was great! And they give a discount for folks eating before Blumenthal! It’s 2 minutes walk to Belk. My friend said the appetizer crepe bundles filled with lobster and something were to die for, my eggplant appetizer and beet salad were more than I could eat. Service was attentive and fun. We’ll go again.

We've only been one other time and it was absolutely fantastic. This time around, the pizza arrived cold. It still tasted good, but it was at room temperature.
