My husband got the pork chop for dinner, which is his go to and like always it was perfectly cooked. He very rarely orders pork chops at any other restaurant that we dine at, but he always gets it here that tells you just how good it is. I stuck with my go to which is the creste de Gallo. The flavor in the dish is just so good and the portion size is perfect. Even though it's pasta, I never walk away feeling like I am completely stuffed and can't move - Unlike other pasta dishes I've had at other places.

I was immediately greeted by the hostess. I explained that it was my first time and she was kind enough to make some menu recommendations. Since it was early we were promptly seating. We took the stairs to our table upstairs. We were seated near a wall and the bar. I waiter promptly came over to greet us. I wanted to try a few things but the brunch menu was sort of limited. I opted for crispy Mac & cheese bites, french toast, and breakfast croissant sandwich. The mac & cheese bites were crispy but could have used a little more seasoning and a little more cheese filling. The French toast was 2 pieces of toast with maple syrup and fruit. I opted to leave the fruit off with the current health concerns with raw food. It would have been nice to have been offered a substitute but I wasn't so I paid $18 for 2 pieces of French toast. I feel like the French toast would have been a better choice if it was accompanied with choice of, chicken sausage or regular sausage and eggs. That would have made a more complete brunch. The French toast was ok but could have used a little more flavor (ie cinnamon, vanilla, etc). The syrup was a very good grade of maple syrup and tasted so good. I did add 2 eggs for $6. Lastly had the breakfast croissant sandwich with grits. The sandwich was good I did substitute the regular sausage for chicken sausage. The chicken sausage was delicious. I was very pleased with the grits they were so good. Overall, the portions are small especially for the price. The restaurant is in a prime location, right in the center of Disney Springs and offers both indoor and outdoor seating. I would like to return for lunch or dinner in the cooler months so I may dine on the second floor patio over looking Disney Springs.

I started off with a Suncreek blonde ale. It is strawberry blonde ale and it's delicious. My husband started with the Yingling. He keeps hoping they will bring the Kentucky bourbon ale back on tap again. For lunch, I got the whiskey dip which is full of chopped beef with cheese and onions. Served with an herb, dipping sauce, and your choice of side. I opted for the sweet potato waffle fries because they are delicious. My husband got a burger with fries cooked perfectly. Once we are done with our food, we did opt for a taster. My husband had to go through several different bottles before he found one they actually had in stock. That is one of the downside is the whiskey library that is online is not always reflective of what they actually have in stock as he was really looking forward to trying the old Fitzgerald birthday, but alas, they did not have it in stock. He ended up going with the jack Daniels 12 year and really enjoyed it. I opted for the widow Jane 14 year very sweet easy to drink.

Everything took quite some time to reach the table, but we started out very patient and enjoyed our appetizers once they arrived. I chose the Caesar salad and my boyfriend chose the calamari. We also noticed on the main menu, they had two dollar oysters, so we ordered half a dozen. I ordered the salmon and he ordered the steak. The salmon was served on a bed of spinach and sweet potato purée. It was delicious. It was the perfect portion-- the steak unfortunately did not come with any sides. If you wanted any sides, you had to add them on additionally. We knew this going into the evening so we had no problem with that. I don't eat red meat, but my boyfriend said he enjoyed the steak. Unfortunately, when it came to ordering desserts, we ended up waiting over 30 minutes to receive them. I started to grow more impatient and requested the desserts to be boxed up to take home. We noticed the table next to us had been served their desserts before us even though we ordered before them, but we also noticed that they had a different server. I ordered the banana dessert, which was probably smaller than my fist. My boyfriend ordered the chocolate cake, which I forgot to snag a photo of, but it was very creamy and delicious. Once we received the bill, we noticed that we were charged four dollars per oyster rather than the two dollars that the menu reflected. The manager explained that we were served a happy hour menu not their regular menu and she was going to adjust the price just this one time. We appreciated the offer and she ended up actually comping the entire entirety of the oysters! This was a kind gesture. Although I was very irritated with how long it took to get the desserts, I appreciated that the managers kindness. Magical dining can always be a hit or a miss, but I would love to come back to this restaurant and try out their regular menu eventually!

My dining experience at Primo Italia restaurant in the JW Marriott Hotel, Orlando, left much to be desired. The service, unfortunately, fell short of expectations. Our waitress seemed disinterested and was not forthcoming with menu information and her presence was sporadic at best. Moving on to the main event, the dishes varied in quality. The bolognese and rigatoni were a mixed bag - one overcooked, one undercooked, and inconsistent temperatures left much to be desired. Even the appetizer, the octopus, suffered from overcooking, although the presentation was commendable. Overall, the restaurant's performance was lackluster. With subpar service and inconsistent food quality, I'd rate Primo Italia a mere 5 out of 10. There's certainly room for improvement in both the kitchen and front-of-house operations. Despite the shortcomings in service and food quality we appreciated the gesture of the chef in offering us complimentary desserts. This thoughtful gesture demonstrated a commitment to guest satisfaction and showed a willingness to make amends for any shortcomings. Though our overall experience may have been less than ideal, the chef's generosity left a positive impression, and we appreciated. read more

I don't usually get my hopes up over a hotel restaurant. My experience with Primo changed my mind. Given other tempting options, I chose to eat here every night of my stay, so that I would have yet another opportunity to try something wonderful or to eat one more Farmer's Salad. The service was kind and attentive and so personable. The manager, Dillion, helped me create a drink from my imagination and their organic herb garden that rivals any I've had. Waiters Daniel and Jodi made it feel so special. The pork saltmbocca , Coq au vin, the rabbit and hand made pasta, the butternut squash ravioli with lobster, the meat and cheese appetizer, the soup of the day, the flan, the little cake-drops, the bolognese... not one disappointment and all so delightfully delicious. This menu changes seasonally and they use a lot of local food. You can taste the care that goes into their excellence. Thank you, all of you, for such a wonderful experience. read more

I ate here for a work dinner with our business partners and it was an overall pleasant experience. The service was very great and the staff was knowledgeable of the menu. The atmosphere was also very high end and refreshing. I felt like I was in a modern eatery in the Amalfi coast. The food itself was good overall but was unremarkable. The right textures and fresh quality were definitely there. However, the flavor had a lack of depth and uniqueness to make themselves stand out at their price point. The lamb shank for example, only had a 20% meat to 80% bone ratio and was bland as heck. However, it was incredibly tender and juicy. There are definitely other places around central orlando where you can get as good or better italian food at a significantly cheaper price. However, if you're staying at the JW Marriott and or are in the I-Drive area and want elevated experience with Italian food, this can be a place to consider. read more

Primo in Grande Lakes is the kind of restaurant that makes you appreciate a great dining experience from start to finish. The setting is beautiful and inviting, the service is polished without feeling stuffy, and the food really delivers. Everything we had was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. You can tell there's a real attention to detail here, both in the kitchen and throughout the dining room. The staff was attentive and genuinely welcoming, which made the evening feel effortless. It's an excellent choice whether you're celebrating something special or simply want to treat yourself to a memorable meal. Primo definitely has that elevated resort-dining experience while still feeling warm and approachable. A standout experience at Grande Lakes -- I'd absolutely return and would recommend it to anyone looking for a special meal in Orlando. read more

We were promptly seated in a very comfortable wrap around booth. The service was very professional and he made some excellent suggestions. The Italian bread and olive oil served was among the best we have had anywhere. We shared an antipasto plate that consisted of small portions of Iberica Ham, Mortadella, Salami, 3 cheeses, house cured olives, pickled eggplant, pickles and croutons. We also shared a farm fresh salad that was ample for 2 people. I had the duck breast and Pat had the grouper. Both were excellent and the presentation was outstanding. We shared the chocolate chess pie for dessert. this was the only shortcoming of the meal. It was more like a chocolate meringue than chess pie. I told the waiter that they should remove this from the menu. The presentation was outstanding though. read more

Disappointing Experience - Overcrowded Seating & Overpriced We were really looking forward to dining at Primo, but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The seating was uncomfortably close--so packed that we were shoulder to shoulder with other guests, which made it hard to enjoy our evening. For a restaurant at this price point ($50 per plate plus or more), we expected a more relaxed and intimate atmosphere. While the food was decent, the lack of space completely overshadowed the meal. Definitely not the experience we were hoping for. read more

Really stunning little place!…read more I've been meaning to try it for a while, but I only saw the prices for their full plates of pasta online and thought it must be family style or fine dining. It's a little of both, but their 1/2 plates are a generous single portion for less than $20. Either way, the food quality is worth every penny. The menu features plenty of Italian favorites and regional dishes. We ordered their special puttanesca arancini, parmigiana di pollo con melanzane, spaghetti ai frutti di mare, and an imported grape ale (which was a surprise buy one, get one). I don't typically like anchovies, and yet I enjoyed the arancini. I'm typically a snob for pasta pomodoro, and this was one of the best I've had, like ever. We walked in without a reservation on a Friday night, and every seat was filled besides two at the bar. The staff were fun and attentive; my water glass was always full.

In Atlanta this was one of our go-to easy dates night spots if we had some shopping to do at Lenox.

Sean got a glass of Pinot Noir I got a favorite of mine- the Bolognese and my husband got the chicken parm. Both we were familiar with from previous experiences at the Atlanta location. Both solid choices. We also had a bread service and vining at served with that was different. Really good and a touch sweet. I asked the server to find out what the brand of vinegar used was and she did. She also offered to get me a little cup of it to take home with additional bread. What she actually brought out was a soup cup full of it. I looked up the brand and she basically gave me a full bottle of the vinegar free of charge as a take home garnish. What a sweet and and adorable gesture. Management; you are seeing this she was delightful and so sweet and I hope I did not get her in trouble. This was an incredibly kind gesture. She could not have been more adorable helpful or likable. We also got the butter cake. The seasonal version was a banana and oh my god was it good. We almost ordered a second helping.

**Avoid This Place - Ruined Birthday Experience**…read more We went here to celebrate a birthday, and while the staff did acknowledge the occasion with a birthday wish upon arrival, the entire dining experience went downhill fast from there. We ordered from the 3-course Magical Dining menu, expecting a standard 1-hour dinner. Instead, it was dragged out over 2 agonizing hours. The lack of customer service and attentiveness was appalling; it took an eternity for each course to reach our table. We couldn't help but feel we were being sidelined and deprioritized simply because we opted for the promotional menu. To prove it wasn't a kitchen delay, the table right next to us was turned over *twice* while we were still waiting on our meals. The General Manager did end up removing an appetizer from our final bill to try to make up for the atrocious service, but taking a few dollars off doesn't fix a ruined birthday dinner. To top it off, when I tried to share feedback directly, the QR code on the receipt to fill out their customer survey conveniently didn't work either. Save your time and money--go somewhere that actually values your business regardless of what menu you order from.

The two bartenders did a great job balancing drink orders and our orders for the experience. I went with the skewers for my starter, the ribs with fries for my main, and the tiramisu. Food came out in a timely manner and the presentation was beautiful - loved the dishes and the plating choices. Food was a delicious balance of flavors and fusion of Peruvian and Japanese cultures. Portions were perfect and I was full without feeling too stuffed. The tiramisu was very sweet, but fun to try. In addition to the meal, our napkins and silverware came with an adjustable bracelet we were allowed to keep afterwards. Overall, it was a great experience. The bar was quieter than the main restaurant, but even the main dining area was not so bad in terms of noise level. A lot of folks were there for celebrations and were dressed to the nines. It's definitely a nicer place to enjoy a big celebration.

I visited Nikitta Orlando on the last day of Visit Orlando's Magical Dining, and I'm so glad I…read morefinally got to experience it! I tried the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice, Inti Risotto, and Pistachio Nikkei Tres Leches, and everything was SO good. Each dish had its own flavor and stood out, but that tres leches was definitely a favorite. I also tried the Whispers of Kyoto cocktail along with another drink that I unfortunately can't remember the name of, but both were really good! Beyond the food, I really loved the ambiance. The restaurant has a beautiful, upscale atmosphere that makes the whole experience feel special and perfect for a date night, celebration, or just getting dressed up for a nice dinner. Service was great, I sat at the bar. The bartender took care of everything. Overall, I had a great experience and would recommend giving Nikitta a try if you're looking for a beautiful atmosphere and flavorful food in Orlando.
