    bread
    Drew D.

    The view was amazing. I was torn between that and my date all night, wink wink. But seriously, I couldn't stop looking out at the city, you can see so much! Definitely my kind of vibe. Now the experience, my gf and I walked by the valet to the entrance, the transition from front desk/lobby to fancy, candle lit is wild. A big door blocks the way, as you open it you're pulled into a whole new atmosphere. The front desk greets you at the end of a long hallway, as you approach, the lights seem to dim just the slightest. We booked one a day before and got lucky! but reservations are a must if you want the best seats in the house. We were escorted to our seats, and as you walk in, the lights of the city shine in and you're in awe. Big glass windows display the whole city line. We walk past rows of tables until we're seated close to the kitchen. Took the picture of the city right from my seat, no obscure objects blocking anything, perfect view. Would pay $100 dollars just for the view. Now food and service. It was Friday night 8:15. Our server was a nice older woman who was very knowledgeable about the menu. I was pretty impressed until she said her same speal word for word to the table behind us, same joke too about not asking her to recite the menu lol. I knew I wanted pasta it, being an Italian restaurant I had high hopes. And man I was hungry, just then the bread came out. A nice display of garlic and ginger. I was surprised the bread wasn't toasted or anything, just bread. Used the olive oil bottle, that was a must. Looking for some drinks and an app next, I went with the Merlot $12, my gf went with the moscato. We also threw on an order of the calamari. After a little, it came out and I wasn't to impressed. My wine was watery, not much flavor. My gf loved her moscato tho, tasted like an angry orchard to me haha. The calamari felt like it was barley cooked, it was interesting to see the different type of octopus. I like the ones with the legs, but they were thick and hard, slimy, my gf got freaked out. Also not sure where marinara sauce came from with calamari, that is not it. Put in some dinner and we both went with the fettuccine chicken breast pasta recommended to us by our sever. Not sure if that's the name but that's what she called it. Our food arrived reasonably, and the presentation was pretty. As for the taste, better than it looks. The pasta was creamy, but lacked a deep flavor. Definitely not enough cheese, was more like a buttered noodle. The chicken was juicy, and didn't taste too bad, but the skin is kinda separate from the breast, so it was slidin around while I was cutting it up. Our server disappeared after we got our food and a nice food runner poured me some more water. Checked dessert, nothing looked that good. I over heard the crembrule was good but our server even said they didn't like it so. All in all, if you're looking for a romantic view and don't mind spending some money, this is your spot. I think the view compensates a little for the food, but it was late and I only tried a few things, im sure the rest of the menu is worth a try.

    Everything we ordered --perfect!! Calamari legit, shrimp app the best sauce ever, my chicken pesto gnocchi amazing, veal marsala great, seasonal fish light and refreshing. Veal saltimbocca so good. We got there at 5 so not extremely busy, maybe that's why it was all perfect, dunno, Tiramisu literally had liquor in it. Also legit. So pleased and surprised at this historic gem. Kudos to Deborah and her daughter. Professional and helpful

    Garlic butter for bread service

    We were greeted by the owner John which was an excellent touch. The service was ok but the food and price point made up for that. The server was knowledgeable but had a rough attitude. The server assistant could have paid better attention with the water fill up. The didn't matter so much with the quality of the food and the great view. The food was slow out of the kitchen, but the ambiance made up for the shortcomings. Everything was nicely priced except the feature fish. That was $52 and we didn't order it, but seeing it pass by on trays, it didn't look worth the price. We be back. The window facing raised booths for two were sweet.

    Shrimp "Antoinette"
    Jeff R.

    Wish I could give it 4.3. Service was excellent. Alex was a great waiter. Honestly should give it a 5 for him. Shrimp Antoinette is everything! I got the fettuccine but last 3 times had the gnocchi shrimp. Get the shrimp. My friend licked the plate as I normally do. I did get a bite Fettuccine wasn't bad but doesn't knock your socks of. Same with desert. The chicken though ,was pretty stellar and again, great service. Sometimes you just need the service to elevate. Good views, good food, can't go wrong!

    Chicken Formaggio
    Alyssa L.

    First time visiting Primavista and it did not disappoint. The entire restaurant is designed to overlook views of the city. Our two-person booth actually faced the windows so we didn't have to turn our heads at all to look out. Such a cool experience! The food was delicious, and for a higher-end restaurant the prices were very reasonable. They specialize in veal and fish, so I recommend getting a dish that focus on that. The veal Marsala is some of the best Marsala I have ever had. The best part of the meal, however, was dessert. Both the tiramisu and bread pudding were equally delicious. I plan to go back in the winter when it is dark out and we can see the city lit up!

    See all

I've made my way through the entire menu (food and drinks), and there honestly isn't a single item I wouldn't recommend. Everything is consistently spot on every single time. That kind of reliability is hard to find, and it's exactly why I keep coming back. That said, a few personal favorites stand out. The goat cheese flatbread appetizer is a non-negotiable. It's the kind of dish you order "for the table" but secretly don't want to share. The cacio e pepe and pasta rustica are also incredible and always hit. As for drinks, the seasonal espresso martini is always a go-to and never disappoints. But my personal favorite is either the regular old fashioned or, when I'm feeling myself, the wagyu old fashioned... especially if Scott is behind the bar. He clearly knows what he's doing, and it shows. The service is always warm, attentive, and consistent, which makes the whole experience even better every time. Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere, and a bartender who takes his craft seriously. I'll definitely be back (again...and again).

I have had this spot on my list for a while. I started with a cocktail, the Soda Italia Mojito and it was so refreshing, bubbly, and delicious without being overly sweet. I ordered an appetizer for my meal. Unfortunately I did not feel well and ended up taking almost all of this home with me. I ordered the Bourbon Wagyu Burrata. This app was hand pulled mozzarella stuffed with braised wagyu brisket and bourbon butter and served with crostini. I just ate this for lunch and it was absolutely delicious. The bartender said these are made to order, mozzarella pulled and filled after I placed my order. The atmosphere was cozy and right in the heart of Covington. Both bartenders were super friendly and when I said all of a sudden I did not feel well, they took my meal and put it in a box for me and got me an ice water to go. I will definitely stop in the restaurant again to give something else on the menu a try. Probably will order the same cocktail as it was so good.

It was the perfect dish to tide us over. Other plates looked delicious, as well! We will definitely have to come back to try more. My mom got the Scarlet Begonia while I got the Casey Jones. We loved our cocktails. They also have an extensive wine menu. I had a class of Gavi and it was great. It's nice that they had an N/A section on their drink menu too. We will definitely be back!

We sat at the bar for dinner, during Restaurant week and decided to order a few items off the regular menu. The bartender Matt was great and extremely helpful. He answered all my questions about specific food items and also checked in with the Chef to make sure I could eat certain things. It is a very cute space, I did not go upstairs, but the bar area is very nice. We had the salmon with broccolini and roasted red peppers which was pretty good. We also had the hummus plate - the hummus and pita chips were good, although I didn't really like the quinoa only because it has a very heavy vinegar on it. I did not eat the pierogies because they have cheese in them, but my friend did and really loved them! It is street parking, so be mindful of that.

You can stop by whenever you feel the need to taste some wine, tequila or bourbon Hannah, the manger, is so sweet. She reminds me of Joanna Gaines. She's one of those people you feel like you know and want to be around. Just a beauty inside and out. She was the only one there and had a few guests to help and she said she was having a bad day but you'd never know. She made my bf and I feel more than welcome and took care of us. We got a small charcuterie with nuts, meats and cheeses and added olives. The charcuterie was not what I was expecting from a winery. It was more of an adult lunchable than charcuterie. The cheese was like that precut Cracker Barrel cheese found in the store. I would have like to have had some freshly grated parmesan or mozzarella. Something that would pair well with the wines. I'm not a fan of Swiss. Love Colby jack and cheddar but those don't really go with the wines I had. I got a flight of white wines that are numbered in my 2nd picture. They were all pretty good but 1 & 4 were my favorites. I was able to taste a new wine slush they're offering. I chose the red wine slush over the white moscato one. I fell in love with it. I tried to get one to go but was unable to due to them not having approved to go containers for them My boyfriend got a flight of premium bourbon which he enjoyed. There are lots of cosy places inside and out to sit and sip your favorite drink. We did leave with a bottle of the # 4 wine I liked and garlic sausage though. I will definitely return for a slush!!
