    I recently dined at Prima in Charlestown with a group of four, and overall, it was a pleasant experience with a few minor drawbacks. The table we were seated at felt a bit cramped for four people. In the past, the hostess would offer to hang our coats. It would have been a nice touch, especially given the limited space. The food was very good, maintaining Prima's reputation for quality. However, we did notice that the mozzarella, which we had particularly enjoyed on a previous visit, didn't quite meet the same high standard this time. On a positive note, the drinks were excellent, and the wine choices were impressive. It would have been helpful if the waitress had spent a little more time explaining the different wines, but we understood that the restaurant was extremely busy, making it difficult for her to do so. Despite these small things, Prima remains a solid choice for dining in Charlestown. The overall experience was enjoyable, and we look forward to returning in the future, hoping for a bit more attention to the small details that enhance the dining experience.

    Sat us at bar stool seats which I did not love. Didn’t offer to take our jackets like they did for other tables. Food and our server were excellent though.

    My husband and I went to Prima for their Feast of the Seven Fishes dinner and were blown away. Every course was cooked to perfection and the service was exceptional. We also really enjoyed the wine pairings that were thoughtfully curated by Geronimo. All in all, we had an amazing time at Prima and will absolutely be back!
