    Everything was amazing!! The place was very intimate and beautiful inside. We ordered garlic bread (very interesting to someone who is used to American garlic bread) and rigatoni alla vodka. Overall amazing experience. Our server was so attentive and her vibes were AMAZING. The prices were pretty reasonable.

    Prima is my #1 restaurant in Boston. I’ve been over 6 times in less than a year and it gets better and better each time. My boyfriend and I both tried the filets and they were INCREDIBLE. Truly one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. The Caesar salad and torta gialla are MUST ORDERS if you’ve never tried them!! I’m already thinking of my next reservation!!

    Good not great. Atmosphere was nice and the service staff was lovely. We sat at the high top in near the big window. Restaurant lighting was great. Mixed bag on the food. The good - ARANCINI TARTUFO (wish we had a double order!) The not so good - The Garlic Bread was too busy and a bit under baked. Chicken Piccata wasn't great. The chicken was tough not juicy. Old Fashioned was good.
