Nice Italian place in the hotel. A bit over-priced for the quality of food. Had the meatball app and was delicious. I had the chicken piccata and although the flavor was good - I felt the chicken was pounded so thin it was as flat as the pizza. Dish came w a potato and an vegetable, but when I asked to substitute for parm risotto (and eliminate both sides) there was still an $8 upcharge. No children's menu which was a bummer - had to order an entire $17 pizza since their wasn't much else for kids. Tiny place - probably better suited for someone looking for a drink and an app at the bar. read more

We ate here twice while staying at the Doubletree. The restaurant is small which is probably the only negative thing about it. Food is fresh, kitchen staff is jamming back there! Meatballs were homemade and delicious. Fettuccine was good and my son had their short rib ravioli and he loved it! I definitely suggest eating here! read more

Awful awful awful service. 1st they forgot we were waiting for a table, then they seated us, then after 15 minu of waiting for the server I had to get up and ask if we were going to get a server. took the drink order, another 10 min to come back and take the food order. never once asked if we wanted another drink and the final insult? they automatically added a tip to the bill. for 4 people. ridiculous. its like they knew they wouldnt get a good tip! read more

I remember how much fun our waiter had with us. HIs cute jokes and funny stories brought an air of lightness and cheer to the mood. It was the middle of the afternoon when hubby and I met up with another couple for a business meeting. This was our first time dining at Primo's but our client had frequented them any time he visited Miami. He chose well. It's a nicely decorated lounge located inside the Doubletree Grand Hotel. It's a perfect place to meet, have lunch or dinner, have a cocktail at the bar, alongside a small bite to eat. Our waiter recommended the Pear & Gorgonzola salad because I told him I wanted something light. It was delicious and filling. Very good choice when having to do a lot of talking while eating. I also added shrimp to my salad which were tender and juicy. My husband wanted something a bit more heavy so he ordered the Grilled Salmon plate. His was delicious as well. The salmon was cooked to perfection and his veggies completed the meal nicely. read more

Great Food, Even Better Service - Thanks Gigi! This place is super convenient in a mini-mall of sorts, and serves great food - one of the best wedge salads I've had in Miami for sure. I love how their fish courses rotate almost each day, adding fresh and new flavors as part of each - from shrimp toppings to strawberry sauces - something inventive and exciting enough to make you a regular! But even better than the food is the service, and on that note I would like to tip off my hat to Gigi. She takes such good care of you its amazing. You forget you're at a restaurant and feel like its a family meal instead. From getting your favorite beverage served right time and again to promptness when you need it, from daily banter to professional service - I could not heap sufficient praise. Thank you for being such a caring person and for making my day time and again here. This establishment sure is lucky to have you on board! read more

Been coming here for years, I stopped coming because I never have time, I own several rental properties here @the grand and I bearly come here anymore but today whenever I finish my walkthrough, I was craving their amazing lasagna and honestly is better than before it was delicious and perfect, but the best thing I liked about today was the amazing service from my waitress: Jimena which a is a beautiful Uruguayan GODDESS with top notch skills in the hospitality industry, please ask her by name she is the best. read more

Primo's exceeded our expectations. The gourmet dishes were expertly prepared, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. A true gem with a welcome filling read more

We ate here twice for breakfast with our double tree vouchers and I have to say this is the best breakfast choice! The servers are extremely friendly, the food was pretty good and the prices are great (compared to the other options). The first day we all had coffee, yogurt parfait, a breakfast wrap and the grand bagel with a side of sausage and a side of salmon - our total was around $35-40 for 3 of us. Today we had the yogurt parfait, potatoes, sausage bacon, coffee, an omelet and the grand bagel and our total was $50. I didn't get the chance to come here for dinner but I will check it out for sure when I'm back at the double tree! read more

We tried this place out for dinner tonight. Although smaller than I had anticipated it does have a nice vibe to it. It was pretty busy so there wasn't much room but we did get a table pretty quickly. Our waiter was friendly and gave us good service. I ordered the chicken parmigiana panini with fries. The portions were huge! I could only eat half of the sandwich. The french fries were pretty good. The food was okay but overall I wasn't really impressed. It seemed like it was more of a place to grab a drink at the bar. read more

Neighborhood Gem! While it may not look like much from the outside, Primo's has some of the best Italian food in town. Their daily specials are always a good choice. It seems like no matter what I order I am always impressed whether is their Rotisserie Chicken, Penne a la Vodka, Branzino, Salmon, Skirt Steak Flatbread, Pasta Fagoli, Chicken Wings. Primo's executes its diverse Italian/Amercian menu exquisitely! The staff is always so friendly, they make you feel right at home! read more

Incredible!! The staff, food, and management of Primo's is top notch! Every year during Miami Art Week our company (who owns 2 art fairs) dines here every night after the shows end and the staff at Primo's has been such a delight year after year! We look forward to dining here every night for about 5 nights in a row. Amazing food, delicious cocktails, and the most generous service. You can't go wrong with anything here but a few favorites include the meatballs, tuna tartare, half chicken, and tiramisu. Thank you, Primo's for being our little home away from home during Basel!!! read more

Restaurant in the Doubletree Hilton hotel where I was staying. I sat at the bar and watched the Final Four after a long flight from San Francisco, too tired to wander further away. Wish I had. Both bartenders were "busy" and I didn't get any attention for the first 5 minutes. I asked for a draft beer recommendation. My bartender just read out the list - Brooklyn Lager, Miller Lite, Peroni, Rica, Blue Moon. I asked for the Rica - described as a local wheat IPA - it seemed the most interesting. She said they didn't have any! "I'll have the Blue Moon then." "Sorry, we are out of Blue Moon." " Well, what do you have then?" "The other three." "What's the Brooklyn lager like?" "It is from New York - Brooklyn. A dark lager." "Ok let's have that. And can I please see the dinner menu?" She plopped my drink and a menu in front of me, and I ordered a rigatoni bolognese, then went back to watching college basketball. The Brooklyn lager was quite good, but the pasta was undercooked and the sauce too tomatoey. The saving grace, besides my beer, was the house toast served with my pasta. Warm, grilled just right, I soaked it in the "bolognese" sauce and filled up. And I ordered another lager "from New York - Brooklyn" to wash it all down. I won't be back. read more

Came here as a recommendation from the staff at the Hilton. This place is located inside the Doubletree just at the entrance. We were promptly treated upon entry and seated fast. The waiter was there soon afterwards to get the drink order. We asked for a recommendation for an app and selected the sausage and peppers. The drinks came out quick along with the bread and olive oil. Then right afterwards the app arrived. It was a large portion of Italian sausages with peppers and onions in a tomato based sauce. The appetizer was amazing. They warned it was spicy but I thought the flavor was just right. I ordered the chicken parmigiana for my main. It came out hot and they had fresh cheese to top it off with. The plate came with pasta and the chicken. The sauce was tasty and all around a good choice. This place is a great find and I'll have to check it out again. read more

I tend to avoid any restaurant located in or being a part of a hotel as is Primo's Italian Kitchen & Bar which is in but I don't think a part of the Double Tree Gande. But, as I was hungry and there is actually very little else close by, I went in to eat. Primo's, to my delight, has a decent most friendly atmosphere about it, complete menus along with daily board specials. For my meal I went for their "Classic Caesar" along with a market priced veal chop with mushrooms. Indeed, the Caesar was classic with romaine, crouton and a parmesan but the cheese was a true reggiano, having that exceptional flavor that one can only seem to get by starting off with unpasteurized milk. As for the veal chop, it came in a most generous cut done specifically as I had ordered and not just topped with a singular type of mushroom but with an enhancing sauce consisting of a variety of mushrooms. Though there is nothing really stellar about the place or exceptionally good about the food, still far better than average and a Four Stars to me. read more

The food is simply bad Italian food. The ambiance and service were good which is the only reason I'm giving 2 stars. However I will never be coming here again.. we had a myriad of dishes- the panzerotti and the pasta fagioli (the only decent dishes), proceeded by penne alla vodka with chicken (to me it tasted like frozen chicken reheated and that taste took over the entire dish, the sauce itself was not flavorful), fettuccine Alfredo (same thing with the chicken), and the spaghetti bolognese which is a simple meat sauce dish which again had nearly no flavor to it. Very disappointed with our meal. Our server was great- nothing to note there! read more

Wonderful restaurant! Had pear Gorgonzola salad to start. Wonderful sweet reduced balsamic vinaigrette. Would love to try on watermelon! Homemade pasta! Had buttatini amatracini which I highly recommend. Couldn't stop eating. Why did I wait so long to try! Dress is a mix of casual to business. Great service. read more

Pretty nice restaurant located in the Double Tree Hotel. Since it is a hotel restaurant, it was fairly intimate, and at the time that we went, it was pretty crowded, with only enough space for us to sit at the bar. It was a beautiful restaurant, I wish it was on the other side, maybe you would have had views of the bay. We later learned that there is "outdoor" (in the mall I think) if needed. The menu was of fair sized. I got a fish entree, and it was awesome, I only wish it was a little bigger. My love got the steak dish. The food was good, but it was a bit overpriced. I suppose that is what you get for the area. Portions were small, but again, I guess that's what you get for the area as well I think that we are probably a wee bit too greedy. Nonetheless, good food, high prices, smaller than what we would like portions. Can't say that I would purposely return if I was in the area. read more

Breakfast offerings are not good/don't waste money. Can coke best part of meal. No jelly for toast

The hotel sent us here for breakfast, charming little place located in the lobby of the Grand Double Tree the staff is great, friendly and helpful. We ordered the Premo omelette, (certainly enough for 2 people) 3 eggs, tomatoes, onions and spinach. Very tasty and not over cooked. Also ordered the Smoked salmon cream cheese bagel served with onions and capers (my go to breakfast when I cannot definitely decide what I want to eat). It's hard to mess that up and it was superb. The bagel was lightly toasted and spread with cream cheese chilled not room temperature. Flavorful and slightly aromatic smoked salmon followed by the onions and the capers that did not try to steal the show. Balanced flavor light and refreshing with a coffee and an orange juice perfect breakfast, then I finished the remainder of my wife's omelette (so much for eating a lighter fare this week) read more

Edgewater has an Italian little gem to wine and dine you during this covid madness so look no further. I sat outdoors as I browsed their Miami Spice and dinner menu to order some bites with my bottle of Chianti on this breezy Thursday evening. The service was impeccable and the dishes each boasted flavor within every bite ensuring my trip here was worthwhile. The bread was crunchy and buttery with the perfect amount of garlic. I do recommend saving some for later to dip in your pasta dish if that's the direction you're going in. I started off with the bruschetta which was topped with marinated tomatoes diced atop the crunchy bread with shaved Parmesan placed above. Even though it was messy, it was super delicious and worth it. The fried calamari and zucchini dish is the perfect mix of robust vegetables lightly buttered and fried with the robust marinara sauce to accompany it. I loved the mix of both and the fresh flavor of each bite with the sauce. The wine our server paired was perfect as I nibbled on these appetizers without feeling overly full yet totally satisfied. I finished it off with an espresso as I walked off my meal by their pier located at the rear of the building. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal here and look forward to trying more dishes. read more

I was in town for Miami Heat/GSW game and made a reservation in advance at Primos based on reviews and location. The food was excellent as was the service. We were in and out quickly in order to arrive at Kaysea Center in time for game. We ordered meatball appetizer, pear salad and gnocchi. All were wonderful. The portions were generous allowing for great leftovers when we returned to our room later that night. Primos-definitely 5 stars! read more

Food was barely average and service was very poor. It used to be much better...not any more.

Absolutely charming spot, near our hotel, that we came to for dinner! Extremely cozy, we were quite surprised at how good the food is! We started with drinks (typical Moscow Mule for hubs and Dry Goose Martini for me), and I have to admit that the martini really crept up on me, as I ordered a second and had a great buzz shortly thereafter. They bring bread and oil out, which was tasty since we were starving. We then ordered the meatballs which we so delicious (and honestly so filling!). I ordered the ahi tuna, which was really cooked to perfection. I think hubs ordered a steak, but honestly have no idea (probably the martini influence here). I am surprised by the lower reviews. Service was a little slow but the ambiance and the meal made up for it, and after all, we were on vacation and not in any hurry! read more

Being from out of town, went came to Primo based on the recommendation of desk personnel at the Marriott. There is a small shopping area between the Marriott and the Doubletree and Primo is located there. It is small and they have tables set up in the hall outside the restaurant. I suppose that is the Miami version of dining al fresco. A very pleasant surprise. The food was very good, the portions were generous, and the staff was very attentive. I asked to change the sauce that was served with my entree and there was absolutely no issue with the change. We did feel hurried and ate our dinner at a nice pace. I would most definitely return if in the area. read more

My Chicken Parm was so good I almost hurt myself! The bread was garlicky but not soaked in butter and my Lemmon Drop Martini were OFF THE CHAIN GOOD! The atmosphere was small and quaint.

The atmosphere was a little dark. I know that this is part of the ambience. But a couple more lights would've been nice inside. The food was very good but it did take a while to get. I also felt pressured towards the end to purchase Dessert or coffee or more drinks. It wasn't overbearing but I was asked multiple times if I wanted a coffee or dessert and finally had to say no just ready for my check. Even then when the check came I was asked if I wanted dessert again. The shrimp Alfredo was very very good so was the appetizers of tuna tartare and mini crabcakes. If you have to choose one of the two I would go with the crab cakes! read more

Food took long to bring out and the spaghetti noodles are extremely thick ,lumpy sauce and flavorless meatballs.

But no candies pecans no onions regular cherry tomatoes then to shrimp was pipping hot. The server was nice. read more

Listen, i go to alot of places. I understand how im supposed to be treated when im in a restaurant. To say the bartender is one of the rudest woman i ever met is an understatement. If your not a male you will not get treated nicely. Bread is the standard in this restaurant it wasn't served till the end of my stay after i asked multiple times. I ordered a pizza and all my friends were eating and i still hadn't received my pizza, when i asked she insisted it was never ordered. So imagine everyone is eating and im starving waiting. I would ask for condiments and after i just finally stopped trying to ask her and began asking a young spanish boy. He is the only reason would go back! read more

Hi Ordered a takeout and all in good time I picked my food up, wings were nice and crispy and the lasagna was a good portion size with a little pot of cheese and some bread. Only problem was the lasagna was stone cold in the middle! That was disappointing... To me that means it was microwaved or the chef just did not care... He had one job! read more
