We came here to celebrate my moms birthday and the energy was welcoming and beautiful to look at. They sat us in the more private air conditioned "outdoor" area. Most of us ordered the Alfredo fusili pasta with chicken. The Sicilian sunset was delicious and the orangecello was strong. Our server was kind and provided great service as well. The only reason we didn't give 5 stars was I wish we could've gotten a special birthday shout out for my mom and my drink wasn't as good as expected. read more

The food and the service are still excellent even though they changed the menu from primarily seafood entrees to Italian cuisine. However, they have kept some of the more popular seafood dishes. My wife had the crab stuffed snapper and I had the Radiatore Pasta Alla Vodka from the Lunch Special. Both were delicious. Tony, our server, was fantastic. read more

The food was excellent the only thing that was better was the service Tony was the server. The Parmesan fondue was to die for and so was the chateau Brian. read more

Tried the new rebranded Italian flare at the former Shrimp Boat. They have some of the old faves on the menu but some I will miss like the Chateaubriand and Lobster Bisque. Actually I was bummed there was no soup choice so I had a Caesar Salad instead. The Filet Mignon was flavorful and tender and the honey walnut green beans were the best green beans I've ever had! I tried the Chocolate Mousse ice cream without the Expresso and it was good. I ordered a Chicken Limone to go and I really enjoyed it! Nikki was very attentive! They have some kinks to work out but overall I was pleased. read more

I have been here many times, bragged on them as matching Berns for their beef quality and even treated friends to dinner here. I was so disappointed tonight. My waiter forgot the standard bread basket. Finally the second server I asked brought it for him . The châteaubriand.was more sirloin in texture and most of the potato cubes didn't make it to the blender for whipping. I saw the waiter when he took my order and not again until I was done with the meal. I was going to get a desert to bring home but now my trust is badly damaged, so I skipped it. read more

Food was tasty. I had filet mignon and wife had stuffed flounder. We had a side salad which was good and we liked the bread. We also had the cheese sticks as an appetizer and they were absolutely fantastic. Filet was tender and delicious but very small. Description said it was 8 ounces, but didn't seem to me. My complaint was the bottle of wine we purchased. The wine was good however I feel like they are a little bit price gouging on it. They charged $44 and you can buy this wine at retail level for around $13. Normally restaurants usually only double the wine price. read more

We were searching for somewhere to eat after our usual placed closed early. We decided to give this place a try. We were seated right away & ordered a few drinks. My Mom liked hers but mine tasted off (even she thought so). They were good about it & fixed it somehow but it came back tasting much better. My parents both ordered from the 3 course menu & I went with the salmon a la Meunière. It was delicious & I had enough for lunch the next day. The bread was very tasty too. We sat next to a couple that had been coming to the restaurant for decades & told us all about their history and how they come from Plant City to eat there. They were great company. The only downside was how rushed the waiter seemed. At times he seemed to leave the table before you had even finished ordering. I think it was because it was the end of the night. I'm sure we'll be back to try other selections now that we've found it. read more

Prima Italian Kitchen - SALMON A LA MEUNIERE - Salad Near Me - Valrico, Florida

Super disappointing experience at the shrimp boat. Service was rather slow, drinks took almost 20min to come out. We were told it was way busier than normal on a Tuesday, however the restaurant didn't seem very booked. The bisque was really gross, and after not eating it, the waiter didn't even ask if there was anything wrong with it. The specialty margarita was pretty gross as well, made with cheap tequila. The bread smelled better than it tasted, but probably the best part of the meal. The salmon with Brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes was overly fishy, potatoes were flavorless and lumpy, and the Brussel sprouts tasted mayonnaisey. Probably won't be back, this just didn't hit the mark in any capacity. read more

Stuffed mushroom appetizer was excellent. Stuffed flounder was our entree and was on the Shrimp Boat menu. A delicious crab and fish taste treat identical to the old menu. Bar drinks were spot on. Our server was very talkative and his ninety mph delivery left us slightly exasperated. Overall an excellent dining experience with reasonable prices. read more

The food was delicious, the prices were reasonable and the service was phenomenal! The food came out so fast and they stayed on top of refills. The restaurant environment was very nice, I recommend and look forward to going back. read more

The dining room is very attractive and the lighting just right for a warm dining experience. Our waiter was very friendly and we were served in a timely manner. Our appetizers and dinners were very good, but what happened to the size of the pork chop? It was very tasty, but not the usual thick cut. read more

All around disappointing. Almost like a fast food restaurant. Food was barely warm. They have a pot of spaghetti already mixed with sauce in the back. They serve it as a spaghetti meal, it's the side for chicken dishes. No dish tasted well. Forget the linguini carbonara "cooked" at the table. It's a joke. I loved the shrimp boat but this new place isn't going to cut it. We had 10 people and only one was really satisfied. Wake up and cook real food. read more

The service was extremely sparse. The food did not live up to the hype. The bacon was cooked to a burnt crisp. The kids Mac n cheese was Alfredo. Not Mac n cheese. The desserts are better from the Publix counter. Would never return read more

Ate here this weekend for our anniversary...we enjoyed the homemade pasta and bread. Wanted the fish (trout) but they were out of it (at 5pm?) But had the salmon dish and it was very good. Service is very good also. Still kind of miss the Shrimp Boat concept! read more

Went there for the first time with my husband. He had the fillet and I had chicken Limone. Fillet was cooked to perfection, my chicken Limone was also perfect. I actually had a side of lemon pasta with it, and both of us had the vegetable of the day which was green beans with candied walnuts, best green beans I've ever had. We will definitely be back. There are a few of the old menu items from Shrimp BOat on the new menu. read more

Great food and fantastic service. This cannot be beat. ...and fast. We go there often. !!!!!!!!!

This chef does not know the first thing about Italian food. If you go there, stick to the fish, do not do Italian. The sauce is disgusting. The bread is awful. Not even worth the bite to try it. The eggplant parm was 2 thick slices of eggplant so tough I could barely cut it, never mind chew it. The side of pasta was mushy and covered in gross sauce. I could not even eat it. The snapper oregano was just ok served its these Japanese white sweet potatoes which were unrecognizable as food. The only thing good was the bruschetta. Not worth going back. read more

The food was great. The service was great. The dessert was wonderful. Everything is homemade. Everything was delicious! read more

Always a treat! They took the coconut shrimp off of the menu but they're still available. Bummer they changed the dipping sauce that comes with the coconut shrimp...used to be thicker and creamier. Crispy shrimp and crab bites are always delicious as is the Caesar with blackened chicken. Seated quickly and great service. read more

Absolutely fantastic food and staff. Everything is so fresh and clearly made with great care. it's my new favoite spot in Valrico.

Went for dinner and saw the name had changed from shrimp boat to Prima. We wpuld go 2-3 times a week for happy hour. That's gone, no more happy hour. The bread used to be amazing, horrible now the drink menu is totally different and it is an older crowd in the restaurant and they were playing Eminem and Bon Jovi loud felt like teenagers were running the place. I will not be back. They said the recipes are the same on the drinks and the food. It's totally different. They are going to lose their customers if they don't go back to what they say is their original menu. read more

Enjoyable and tasty meal competitively priced with good service. Will eat there again.

Shrimp Boat never lets me down! I always dive into my food the moment it arrives, which means I forget to take pictures every time. This restaurant is truly a gem, and one of my favorite places to dine. I absolutely love it! Their house bread is dangerously addictive--it's so delicious! Here are some of my favorite dishes: Coconut Shrimp: My absolute favorite! The shrimp are huge, and the pineapple dipping sauce is so good I wish I could take a bottle home. Caesar Salad: Fresh and generously sized. Blackened Salmon with Au Gratin Potatoes: Packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. Stuffed Shrimp with Cheesy Grits: A must-try! The service here is consistently great. Even when it's busy, I've never had to wait too long. The space is nice and roomy, making it a comfortable dining experience. Next time (because there will be a next time), I'll try to remember to take pictures! Until then, I highly recommend checking out Shrimp Boat, even if you don't live in the Riverview area. read more

Just like the pasta we had in Milan in Oct. Outstanding remodel feom Shrimpboat. Valrico finally has a great restaurant.

It's just ok. Nothing spectacular about this place. Honestly I feel it's over priced and food was alright. Nothing outstanding to report but they are average. Staff seemed to be preoccupied and did not seem to care about the customers. read more

Food was really good as always!! Service nice and romantic ambiance as always! Great valentines dinner. Both meals were really good read more

We have been here 4 times since finding out about it. First 2 times, everything was great! Food, service, atmosphere. Last 2 not so much. 3rd time I had the pork chop, it came out undercooked, sent it back, came out overcooked. Wife had the grilled shrimp. She said it was better the first 2 times. Last night we brought friends who had never been. Guys chicken parm was very good, spaghetti was undercooked. Friends wife had salmon with a bacon jam. Didn't agree with her in the morning. My wife had a French style salmon with spinach. Both not very good. The place had no butter we were told. Creamer for the coffee curdled. The peanut butter dessert was underwhelming. Not a great experience. Probably give this place a rest for a while. Oh and the last 2 times we were in the back room on the right. read more

Hands down one of the BEST restaurants I've ever eaten at. scallop & shrimp on rice was absolutely amazing. Brussels sprouts were crispy and loaded with flavor. None of the seasonings were too overpowering, in fact I'd say they were perfectly balanced. The service was more than amazing. Our server was super friendly and attentive. The only downside I have about this place is that the roof was leaking in the middle of the restaurant, but besides that, the ambience was calming and romantic. left the server a $30 tip and left with a smile Thank you shrimp boat!! read more

Lunchtime at the Shrimp Boat located on Bloomingdale blvd is a nice place to meet a friend for lunch....despite the never ending road construction on Bloomingdale..... We had their smoked salmon spread ( came with big slices of cucumber and assorted crackers) ..very good, not too smokey. Crispy fried shrimp and crab bites....oh myyyyy Forgot to take a pic before we ate them. I got the entree house salad with grilled shrimp and balsamic dressing..... couldn't finish it it was so big.....and the shrimp were perfect. My friend got the cheese burger ...it was huge....she said it was very good. Didn't get a cocktail because I was driving...but their sweet tea with lemon worked well read more
