    Nice place. Staff was very nice. Indoor outdoor seating. Upscale vibe. Also had a brunch vibe. Ordered the bolognese. It was a miss. I've been to tre trattoria many times for their bolognese and Primos doesn't even come close. Not to mention it's 1-2 dollars more expensive. It tastes like the spaghetti and meat sauce I make at the house for under 10 bucks and feeds the whole family. Would recommend this place for the vibe. But not the bolognese unfortunately.

    Came here for a birthday dinner for a friend and had a great night. We got the garlic rolls, mussels, burrata, and 3 different pizzas - pepperoni, margherita, and spicy salami. The garlic rolls are amazing. We had to keep ordering more and more for the table. The mussels were delicious and the soup they were in was even better. The burrata was okay in my opinion, but the bread that came with it was sooooo good. All of the pizzas were great. My favorite was the margherita. Our server kept our waters full and checked on us, but the wait was about 30 minutes for the pizzas, which sucked a little. We were seated outside, which was pretty cold. I think if they added heating elements outside it would have made it more enjoyable. All in all, we still had a great time and the food was great. I would come back here.

    Lunch 2 topping pizza

    Been eyeing Primo's for lunch for a while and finally got to try it out. There's no dedicated parking spots for Primo's so you'll have to park on the street. Keep that in mind if visiting during busy weekends. We came Wednesday around 1pm and it was not busy. Service was friendly and quick. They don't have fountain drinks , just cans and bottles. They have a lunch special which includes a 12" pizza with a salad. Both were huge- I was shocked at the size of both. Salad was good, pizza was good. Ok flavor- not the best pizza ever but still good. Wish I had gotten one of their pasta dishes instead but next time for sure. The restaurant is small but quaint. Enjoyed our visit, would like to try different menu items. Give it a try.

    Margarita pizza

    I have been wanting to try this place out for a while now. We went in a group of four girls. We enjoyed brunch on a Sunday. It wasn't busy, but they do take reservations. We shared all of our food. I started off with their limoncello Margarita. It was citrusy and refreshing. We shared the calamari and the burrata. The calamari was seasoned well. It comes with a garlic aïoli. The burrata was delicious. We all loved it. It came with tomatoes, Peruvian, teardrops, and salami. The bread that it came with was delicious. For our meal, we shared the margarita pizza, the Parmesan chicken sandwich, the Primo's breakfast and the lemon ricotta pancakes. The Margarita pizza had a thin crust and was cheesy and tasty. The Primo's breakfast was excellent with sausage, eggs made your way in breakfast potatoes. Everyone thought the chicken Parmesan sandwich was the best. The mozzarella was gooey and it had enough marinara, but not too much to make it soggy. The lemon ricotta pancakes were a hit. We ate them as our dessert. They came with blueberries. No syrup needed for these pancakes. We were celebrating Galentine so we ended up staying to share a bottle of Prosecco after our lunch. We didn't feel like we were rushed and our waiter was very nice. Parking is available as street parking, but they do not have a designated parking lot.

    This was our first time here. Cute place! The drinks were very flavorful as well as the pizza. I am not usually a fan of the calamari that is like sticks but these were cut small and so very tender. The aioli was delicious. This restaurant will definitely go in our rotation. Staff was amazing and attentive.

    Scallop tagliatelle

    New restaurant where our old favorite Cookhouse used to be. I made reservations just in case Friday nights were busy. Despite having reservations, we still had to wait for a table. With the wait, we ordered some alcoholic beverages. The restaurant seemed like it was lacking coordination in service. Once seated, I ordered the calamari that came with fried olives and onions. Very delicious! For mains, I ordered the scallops tagliatelle and my husband got the pork porterhouse. Tagliatelle was on point with the texture, but flavors were pretty mundane. My husband enjoyed his porterhouse and didnt share. He said it was good! Outside of the service, I would say the food was pretty decent.

    Made reservations for brunch birthday party. First time for all of us. They accommodated some last guests. Our waiter Trey was very attentive and helpful. We enjoyed our mimosa package and the food. We will definitely be back!! Place was small but great

    Cheese Ravioli

    My first time going to Primos during lunch for my sisters birthday & it was so lovely! The atmosphere & ambiance was very nice. Our server was so friendly, gave good recommendations & made sure everything was perfect. We started off with the focaccia appetizer & it was delicious! The bread was light & fluffy, matched perfectly with the cheese & meat. The main courses did not disappoint, the fresh made pasta was cooked to perfection & the flavor was amazing. The sandwich was nice & crispy & the garlic knot was perfect. The pizza was delicious & was good for sharing! Will be back!

    Recommend: No Food: We went for brunch and ordered the Chicken Parmigiana Sandwich and Big boy pizza. We also ordered the Foccacia and Steam Mussles. The dishes were ok, nothing spectacular or that stood out. For that reason, we found that the price was too expensive. Service: The service was great. Waiter was very attentive and friendly. Ambiance: very cute restaurant, quiet, and intimate.

    We have discovered a culinary gem in downtown SA, offering a diverse selection of homemade pastas, pizzas, and bolognese sauce. We commenced with the Ceaser Salad and then relished the Meatballs and Rigatoni Bolognese. Our dining experience was exceptional in every way. The service was outstanding, the atmosphere was inviting, and the full bars were a delightful surprise. Furthermore, outdoor patio seating is available. Advance reservations are highly recommended.

    Supreme pizza

    Had a lovely birthday dinner at Primo's! It was our first time trying it out and the whole table agreed that it was nothing short of amazing. The service and ambiance really made it that much more enjoyable. Caleb was so attentive and kind, I would highly recommend getting seated with him! We started with some cocktails (limoncello margarita) and some apps (arancini & focaccia). Both were delicious and pretty good portions. For our entrees, we had the scallop tagliatelle, porterhouse, and supreme pizza. All 3 were fantastic and again, pretty generous portions. To finish, we had the flourless chocolate cake and it was also delicious! All in all, a great experience and we will definitely be back!

    Browned butter cake
    Jasmine N.

    Fantastic food! Service was great. We got the Arancini, scallop tagliatelle and the supremo pizza. Sadly they were out of the burrata. But the other 3 items were delicious. Dessert was a must have. The browned butter cake was fantastic as well as the tiramisu.

    Scallop tagliatelle

    In the spot that once housed NOLA and Cookhouse, Primo's brings a fresh start to the established space. The menu is Italian inspired, but with more creative options like a scallop tagliatelle in basil cream sauce and cheese ravioli with brown butter and asparagus. The chefs focus on quality not quantity is appreciated with respect for each dish. A house focaccia served with whipped ricotta and honey drizzle offered the perfect blend of sweetness with savory. The meal rounded off with some kind of brown butter cake that was warm and melty in the center topped with vanilla ice cream. Plenty of wines and drinks along with a cozy vibe.

I started with a Hugo spritz, which was light, refreshing, and exactly what I wanted to kick things off. Later, I had a carajillo, and it was just as perfect--smooth, rich, and a great way to wind down the night. We couldn't get enough of the burrata... so much so that we ordered two! It was incredibly creamy and paired so well with the fresh toppings and bread. Definitely a must-order. And of course, we had to end with dessert--the tiramisu was unbelievably creamy and indulgent, with just the right balance of sweetness and espresso flavor. Absolute perfection.

Coordinating a big table can be tricky, but the service here was *outstanding* from start to finish. Our server kept everything organized, drinks refilled, and plates coming out smoothly without anyone feeling rushed. Everyone in our group felt really well taken care of, which made the whole evening relaxed and fun. The food was just as impressive. Truly every person at the table seemed to love what they ordered -- we had a lot of "you have to try this!" moments being passed around the table. One thing I especially appreciated was the Caesar salad. I noticed another review mentioning the anchovy flavor in the dressing as a negative, but in my opinion, that's exactly what made it great. For me a Caesar should have that briny anchovy depth, and this one tasted freshly made and perfectly balanced. It felt authentic and thoughtfully prepared. Between the warm atmosphere, truly fantastic service, and food that everyone enjoyed, it made for a really memorable evening. We'll absolutely be back! Thank you Renzo's for taking such great care of us!

Not too hot, just that easy breeze rolling off the river like it's got nowhere else to be. I'm there with my daughter and family, and the world's walking by boats cruising, people laughing, a little chaos, a little charm... dinner and a show, no ticket required. Now the food real Italian food. Not the kind that just throws red sauce at you and hopes for the best. This is layered. Garlic that actually means something. Rich, buttery sauces clinging to perfectly cooked pasta like they're in a lifelong commitment. You taste herbs, you taste depth it's the kind of Italian food that makes you slow down mid-bite and just nod like, "Yeah... they got this right." Drinks? Smooth enough to keep ordering, strong enough to make you question your life choices in the best way. Service was dialed in. Nobody missing, nobody stressed just right there when you needed them, like they were reading your mind or watching you a little too closely... either way, it worked. And the atmosphere? That's where it gets dangerous. Because you sit there watching the River Walk roll by, the noise, the laughter, the movement... and suddenly two hours disappear. You're ordering dessert you didn't plan on, another drink you don't need, and nobody at the table's in a hurry to leave. I came for Italian food... ...and ended up staying for everything else.

Menu-The menu was quite extensive. However, would not normally attend a place this pricey, but it was a special occasion & you tend get what you pay for. Meals- We ordered the Capellini Pomodoro Crudo & the Spaghetti ( Spicy ) The red sauce is delicious on the spaghetti.The Crudo, it was a little disappointing. It hardly had any roasted tomatoes in it and large chunks of mozzarella that never melted. The olive oil was very present & not much else. Would have been better tossed with some of that spicy tomato sauce! (see pics). Note-Advise you to make a reservation! We were fortunate: as we went late in the evening, no wait time, seated outside & they were still fairly busy. The restaurant offers a private cruise dining $ experience. Check their website for details.This Italian cuisine is catered aboard a floating vessel while surrounded by the historic scenery of the river.

    We were a group of 10 looking for a last-minute dinner spot, and a coworker mentioned they had…read moreeaten at Tre Trattoria the night before and enjoyed it. So we went online and made a reservation. Upon arrival, we had a large round table set for 10 ready for us. Our waiter, Rami, was really nice and worked hard all evening to take good care of us. The restaurant itself is along a quiet area of the River Walk in an old stone building with tons of charm. The ambiance was relaxed and inviting, perfect for a group dinner. As for the food, it was good but not exceptional. I was excited for the Goat Cheese Pizza with balsamic onion, pistachio, and saba. The thin crust, however, was almost too crunchy and a bit tough to eat. The toppings didn't stand out as much as I had hoped, likely because they were overbaked together. Overall, we had a lovely dinner with great service, a charming atmosphere, and good - but not great - food. 4 stars for now. I would return and try again.

However we realized quickly EVERYONE was waiting outside and they had clearly overbooked or had some issue. Finally, after waiting 20 minutes we were sat. The waittress was kind and let us know the kitchen was having some issues so food would be a little delayed between courses. It was about 60 degrees outside and we kindly asked to turn off the outside fans which were on full blast. Once. Then again, and again, and again. After 5 attempts asking various people we gave up and the waitress let us know she couldnt turn them off because their iPad control died. We werent upset at this we were just upset we kept getting different answers and no explanation for our entire 2+ hr meal. We finished the entree and were waiting for the dessert for about 15 minutes until we finally just flagged down a waittress and asked to get the check and desert to go because we were ready to leave. We waited another 10 minutes before someone else brought us our desert but no check. We asked them for the check and then the original waitress came back with our check and another set of deserts. At some point I saw another server who seemed like the manager or supervisor telling another worker to straighten the tables outside so the corners were aligned... needless to say the table alignment was not the issue. Overall just seemed like the restaurant was overwhelmed and there wasn't alot of communication between tables and the staff. It seems the staff was trying their best but the management wasn't handling it well. Would have appreciated more effort into making sure we were taken care of considering the meal for 2 totaled almost 300$. The only reason this isn't a one star is because of the kind waiting staff.

As far as the food, we had the fried mozzarella, which was essentially a log of cheese deep-fried and served over sauce. It was delicious, but the cheese-to-crust ratio was a bit heavy. The Caesar salad looked better than it tasted. It was very wet, if that makes sense, and the lettuce seemed soggy. Now for the Wagyu ragu. This almost made me have a seizure, and not in a good way. It was extremely salty and completely inedible, so we had to send it back. The waitstaff was very accommodating and agreed that the salt level was way off, so we replaced it with the carbonara. I'm not sure if that's what authentic carbonara is supposed to taste like, but I did not enjoy it. It tasted burnt to me and had too much pepper. I also didn't care for the shape of the noodles. Last, we had the Americano pizza. It was decent, but nothing to write home about. I just think that if you're going to advertise a pizza with meat on it, there should be more than one piece of sausage per slice. As far as the service, our server was fine. Not particularly friendly, but straightforward and efficient. The manager (or another server) was helpful when it came to replacing our dish. Overall, I would not go back. The location is great and the vibe is nice, but the food was a miss. Save your money and go somewhere else.
