Calamari Antipasto
Cecilia S.

Overall not a bad restaurant! The serving sizes are huge so come with a big appetite :D I would say the food could have a bit more flavoring. We were seated outside and even though there were other people seated outside too, it was hard for us to grab our server's attention. This is a nice family restaurant but I'm not sure if I would return here frequently.

Pear strawberry salad

The restaurant is a nice environment. However the food is overpriced. The beef ravioli sauce was excellent but the mixed seafood fra diavlo lacked flavor and disappointing for $35. There were many servers that were helpful

Mixed plate

Got to try this restaurant through catering and everything was delicious. I tried the chicken Parmesan, the meatball antipasto, the pear strawberry salad, and the gnocchi. Everything tasted so fresh! The pear strawberry salad was crisp and I loved the combo of the flavors together. The chicken parm was also juicy and melted in my mouth. The gnocchi was yummy too but I wish it had more sauce as it wasn't so flavorful as I would've liked. The meatball was okay too; not my favorite but still pretty good. I would definitely come back here in the future!

Excellent Tiramisu (5/5)
Chastity V.

Came here for Mother's Day with a reservation. Checked in and got seated within 5 minutes. While we LOVED the tiramisu (5/5), which was excellent and tasted homemade, the rest of the food was fine and not memorable. I got the shrimp pesto (3/5) and my partner got the grilled salmon Fresca (3/5). Service was okay. We didn't have forks on our table; despite my asking someone for forks they never brought them, so I took forks from an empty table nearby. And while this probably won't affect your meal at all, there was a lot of tacky "art" that looked AI-generated.

Chicken linguine Dijon
Jeff C.

I was looking forward a place to host a party of 20 or so and I stumbled upon Primavera. The parameters for hosting an event there seemed agreeable so we tried out the food. We tried the chicken saltimbocca, the carbonara, and the chicken linguine dijon (not a regular menu item but on the catering/event menu). The chicken linguine Dijon was unique and tasty. The carbonara was decent but we weren't a fan of the usage of thick prosciutto, leading to the dish being really salty. Same thing with the chicken saltimbocca, a little salty for my liking. However the portions were generous and the service was good. The set up was nice, they have a main dining room and a side room for parties like we were thinking about. They were easy to communicate with as we made arrangements for our event. They let us come 30 minutes prior to our event to set up and Shelby and Austin were super friendly and attentive to our group for the entire evening. We didn't feel rushed at any point and overall we were pleased with how things turned out. We changed up our menu a bit for the event (didn't have any options that used the thick salty prosciutto) and everyone enjoyed their food. We had a great evening and there wasn't even any other parties that were seated in our room (even though they could have seated people in there if needed), we felt like we had our own private party! Solid food, great service, and a great place to host an event/large group/party!

Veal Piccata - Dec 2024

Made a reservation and came to celebrate a birthday and our food was forgotten and we waited over 1.5 hours to get our entrees after inquiring with two staff there. Even with the reservation it took a while to get seated although our table was open, we had to re-ask the hostess. Food flavors were lacking also the chefs looked so busy and were doing their best I'm sure. Two large tables next to us got their meals before us even though we were seated first. Then after asking the staff they said they would check and no food came out for 15 minutes so we asked again. If you forgot our food, wouldn't they be next in line to be brought out? It was really frustrating and we were starving by then. Only bright spot was they did give us a discount for the wait and for the birthday celebration they comped the dessert. Overall super disappointing experience and the food was not worth the wait. The waiters also kept bumping into us since we were sat on the corners and everyone was rushing around tight spaces but they still didn't come refill our drinks or notice that we didn't get our food until we flagged them down. Really wanted to support a family owned spot but the service and food we received was not it.

Shrimp pesto and Jambalaya
Sky S.

We had such a great experience here! The food tasted super fresh and creamy -- you can tell everything's made with care. Service was fast and friendly, and the whole place has a cute, clean vibe. The drinks were strong but smooth (dangerously easy to sip!). Definitely a spot we'd come back to!

Livier M.

We have driven past primavera several times but never actually dropped by until a few days ago. We were seated very quickly even with no resy and it being dinner time. Employees were all very friendly and helpful when making their recommendations on customer favorite items. The inside is also really beautifully decorated. The food was just ok though. I can't pinpoint what exactly it was but it was lacking something. It did taste good it just didn't wow me like I was expecting. Raised a star for service though.

Terri M.

Wow! This place is awesome! The wonderful aromas when you walk in are incredible! The service was top notch and the food was outstanding! Service was amazing as well!

Bolognese dish
Joey M.

great atmosphere, excellent service from the staff. the sourdough bread appetizer was warm and soft inside, and the spread is perfect combo and was a hit at our table. i ordered the bolognese plate which was delicious

Tiramisu
April M.

All the food was good. Very tasty and just the right amount. Calamari comes with unique tasty flavor sauce. The Salmon was cooked to perfection. The tiramisu was freshly made

Cx parm with cheese on one half of the cx that had to be cut in half cuz first one was RAW!!!!!!!

Horrible cx parm!!!! Totally raw and manager refused to take it back and just put in a frying pan. I was brought a new one cut in half only Milanese and when I asked to do parm style , the manager said it was cut in half and he could only put cheese on one half of the chicken!!!! Not to mention the server brought me the 2 pieces of cx without any pasta!!!! R u kidding me????? Horrible manager!!!!! Does not want to keep the customer happy whatsoever!!!! Never again will I come back to this horrible restaurant! I live in San Ramon but will drive to Pleasanton to go to a decent place such as Pastas, Locanda, Bacci ,and soooo many other places!!!!! Restaurant was dead!!!!!! And now I know why....... What a shame !!!!!! Sunday at 6pm . And the manager lied saying bunch of dumb excuses!!!!! I worked in fine dining as a manager and lead server for 20 + yrs and never Did I refuse to please a customer!!!! The management of Primavera ristorante is a joke!!!!! He might have thought I wanted a free meal but $26.00 will not break me!!!!! I tried to send it back but as the manager said I had to pay for the disgusting cx ,I brought it home and fed my dog!!!! Was gonna leave it there at the table but since I paid for it, It was my right to bring it home and feed my dog! And by the way...... My yorkie smelled it and did not even touch it!!!!!! I threw it away with pleasure!!!!!! Disgusting !!!!!!

Ask the Community - Primavera Ristorante

Are kids welcome? Is there a kids menu?

Isn't there a Primavera in Walnut Creek?

Primavera Ristorante in San Ramon is the only Primavera restaurant owned and operated by our owner since 2009. Any other businesses operating with a similar name are unrelated.

A friend I am having lunch with is vegan. Will Primavera Ristorante work? I love it...but need her to be ok.

I would call the restaurant and ask, I can't think of many dishes there that are vegan.

The place was super lively and honestly pretty packed during my visit on a week night. The lounge itself is on the smaller side, but cozy. I like the concept, there are wire racks on the wall and each table has a little wooden game board on top (mine was Chinese checkers), such a cute touch and makes the place feel a bit more interactive. Their signature cocktail menu has a lot of options, but since it was our first time, we asked the bartender for a recommendation. He suggested "Meet Me In Pearis" since we wanted something vodka-based. The drink took about 10-15 minutes to come out, which felt a bit long, but it looked like he was the only one working, serving two big parties plus a few tables, so I get it. Service overall was still good and he was nice the whole time. For the drink... honestly, it didn't really wow me. Both the flavor and presentation were pretty underwhelming. It kind of tasted like a glass of sangria to me. I guess with "Artisanal" in the name, I was expecting something a little more unique or elevated. Overall, great location, nice vibes, and I like the interior concept. Service was solid too. Just wish the drink matched the same level. Probably wouldn't come back, but glad I got to check it off my list.

Table ordered a steak sandwich with salad, cheese sandwich with tomato soup and a five-spice pork ragu over polenta. We all enjoyed our dishes. Food is 3.5-4/5 stars and would like to see a bit more to keep it interesting but know their kitchen setup is limited. No wine with this visit. Dessert: Orange brownie was simple with orange zest and the Hawaiian bread pudding was different and flavorful. Good to see the place bustling and look forward to future rotating pop up events. Got a chance to talk to the owner, Stacey as I recognized her from the Eats by E event the week prior. My bad, didn't know she was the owner of Cordial Cellar & Lounge but all good as she was super welcoming, friendly and was very accommodating when asked if we could pay for our own dishes separately. At the end of the evening perused the Olive & Finn Boutique and quickly welcomed by Jackie who was explaining items like the handmade jewelry and some hand stitched clothing. Such cute items and will visit another time. Recommend Cordial Cellar & Lounge for a date night, special group outing or relax and listen to some music.

They happily accommodated. Given our table map, the room was a bit cozy for forty but no problem for the waitstaff. The room itself is private, lots of windows, big buffet table and wine area, so it was all good. Waitstaff and venue were great, but what made the event special was the very high quality of the food: gourmet shrimp appetizer, flatbread, salad, chicken kabob, filet mignon kabob (no exaggeration), and Oasis salmon, plus rice, asparagus, mashed potatoes, chocolate mousse cake for dessert, coffee, tea, sodas. AND... they sent our family home with the leftover food, quite a lot that we've polished off since. Charge was $69 per person, three kids counted as one person for a special pizza, 20% service, tax, poured wines from a reasonably priced wine list. Total bill came to $4,000. So... Five stars. And whatever we asked for, Efren and Sadaf said, "No problem," and it wasn't. THANKS to Oasis!

I did not even think to alert my friends about what I read because I thought after reading other Yelp reviews and looking up their Instagram posts with beautiful photos and people looking like they were enjoying this restaurant, that what was described in that 1-star review must have been a rare occurrence. Boy was I wrong because to my dismay when we arrived at their restaurant door last evening, it happened to us and I did not want to believe it, but all the evidence was there to show they were in fact, CLOSED. Two other customers and our group arrived at the same time in advance of our 6pm reservation time, only to see their door closed, lights off, with nobody inside. We were confused not only because we did not receive a message notifying us that their restaurant would be closed and our reservation needed to be canceled, but also because the customers who arrived when we did said they had booked their reservation yesterday, meaning the reservation system was still active. What's more is we did not see any signage on their door or windows about being closed, but instead we saw an EBMUD notice on the door stating water service payment was overdue, which we were not expecting to see upon our arrival. Our group needed to quickly figure out a plan B for our birthday celebration dinner, as our friend had planned and reserved The Library Social Club over a month ago. I dine at many restaurants and any time there needs to be a change or cancelation for any reason by a restaurant business, I have received an e-mail, a text, or a phone call alert, as a customer courtesy call, and I have at the very least, even seen hand written notes on restaurant doors and windows as signage alerting customers of their business being closed. Needless to say, we were disappointed and frustrated by this incident today. We drove from out of town to try this restaurant that was not even open when customers had reservations. Fortunately, our friend proposed a different restaurant that we could walk to and they sat us promptly upon arrival. We enjoyed their delicious food instead!

I interacted with autumn, and Dazha, both of whom were very kind, attentive, and provided great recommendations. They provided excellent service. I did not have to wait very long at all to get a beer, or order any food. I was also appreciative that they were able to carry a conversation with me as a patron versus just treating me as someone who was impeding on their workday. Now, onto the beer. I enjoyed the No Tanlines IPA, & the Tropidank IPA. Both were phenomenal. Great taste profile, went down easy and not too heavy on the ABV. Those beers paired nicely with the food that I enjoyed. Speaking of food their menu is just the right size with the right amount of options. I didn't find it overwhelming because honestly nothing is worse than a large menu with excessive options especially at a brewery. Lastly, the ambience of the brewery was very enjoyable. It's just the right size, and they also have a rather eclectic music playlist that I particularly enjoyed and it seems that the Staff there enjoys it along with many of the other patrons. Overall, this establishment will be a place that I revisit again probably more than once during my time in Dublin California and it will certainly be my go to place for a post round of golf meal & beer(s).

The location and setting are nice with a shaded outdoor patio with extensive seating and a cozy feeling inside with tall tables and a nice bar. Service is a little spotty though. The last time I was there, I sat at the bar and noticed more of the staff dynamic than I've seen before. The bartender never once wiped down the bar top even though it was obviously covered in sticky spilled beer and bits of food. The staff were grumpy and didn't seem to be enjoying each other or serving people. One staff person complained about patrons and said they can either wait or order off the QR code...ouch. I got so tired of the bar vibe that I paid and took my beer outside to enjoy in peace. The beer selection seemed decent but I wasn't that impressed to think that I would frequent the place on future visits. They call themselves a brewery but I honestly didn't see any signs of brewing equipment and most of their beers were from other breweries. I'll give it another try but I might have to find a new beer spot.
