The atmosphere is fantastic, and the Toscan flatbread is truly exceptional. The pasta Allen Pescatore looks appealing, but it could have used more seafood for added flavor. Overall, a nice experience!
When I first visited this restaurant, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, especially as a student, since dining at Primi isn’t something I do often. However, I’m happy to report that the service here is excellent, with waitstaff who are not only friendly but also genuinely attentive. While it’s apparent that they come from different backgrounds, they stand out from other places due to their willingness to go the extra mile for customers. The food is also outstanding—delicious and of high quality, tailored to a youthful clientele, particularly young professionals. The atmosphere complements this with a fun and lively vibe.
Can't fault the food (breakfast) from taste point of view but if you say chicken livers is hot, then make it hot (and it should not swim in bowl of creamy sauce) and maybe ask if customer wants ciabata sliced in big chunk of triangle (can't place egg on top). Service can improve; not once did any waiter ask if food was ok or enquired if we wanted anything more to drink.
Shocking service, worst of any primi I have ever been too. The waiter didn't even look at us when we spoke, we had to call on other waiters to ask for our waiter, other waiters wouldn't take an order for even a coke because they were not our waiter. They started closing the doors and shoving tables from outside to the inside, even moving a lady and blocked the pathway put of out table for a good 25 minutes. Oh and the tables were all left dirty the entire time. The side door was taped up with duct tape and toilet paper by the far right side if you are facing the sliding doors. The zucchini fries were just oil and batter, no zucchini and two of our cocktails arrived already super melted and watery, they had obviously sat on the pass for a long time. All of their menus were falling apart or missing pages. Icing on the cake was the waiter did not even say thank you to us for the tip we left which was way way more than she deserved, but as some of us are student waiters we know that tipping is customary.. I hope I never get tipped by a customer if I ever give service that terrible. She I will stick to other primis and will not return to this one.
The service was outstanding, and the desserts were excellently crafted. I enjoyed the Malva pudding, which was wonderfully complemented by the sweet peaches. The woman I was with had the crest and absolutely loved it. Overall, it's a great spot for desserts and even better for meals.
