Be very careful here, I have been coming here for years after looking over our bill that always seems to be very high we looked at several and found we were being overcharged. I also tipped in cash when I called this to the owners attention he was only willing to give me a very small portion of my money back. We will never go here again

Came 15 mins before our reservations and was seated right away. Server was nice and food was even better .

Great food! We have been dining there for years. Always consistently great dishes. Friendly service. Wonderful experience.

All the pasta dishes were very tasty. The area needs improvement is appetizers and drinks. The margarita seemed water down, Sauce for mussels seemed thick.

Their rigatoni with spinach in creamy marinara sauce is still being served after 30 years and it was as delicious as ever! It was a real walk down memory lane. Thank you
Susan
We had a delicious dinner. The service was great. I arrived earlier than my reservation and they were able to seat us right away.

I made reservations a week in advance. Once we got inside we were told to wait another 30mins to be seated. I was confused as to whats the point of reservations if we still have to wait and fit a dog fight to be seated down. It was such a disorganized restaurant. Servers were very disrespectful and the host was running around like a chicken with her head cut off. Once we got seated, which was 40mims after our reservation which at that point I had to beg them to give us a seat. We were given water and I requested the server if we can get straws but we never received them AT ALL. Food was very cold when we received it on the table. Drinks were ordered and we received it after we were done with dinner. The entire restaurant was very disorganized. It was my first time dining here and I won't ever dine here ever again. This will be one place I won't ever recommend to someone EVER. WORST EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER HAD. PLEASE GO TO OLIVE GARDEN AND THE FOOD WILL TASTE 1000X BETTER THAN THIS PLACE. THEY SHOULD BE PAYING ME TO EAT HERE. ALL MICROWAVE FOOD.

I'm not sure if the reservation system was down, so it could have been something bigger than what I saw, but the restaurant was overwhelmed and we waited a good hour past our reservation time. All the staff was kind and professional, but it was clear that things were not going well. Wrong food delivered, no check in, no water service (had to ask for water twice), etc. lovely restaurant and I'm sure that on other nights it's a great place, but things didn't go well across the board and it seemed too busy and chaotic for anyone to even notice or ask.

2nd time we have made reservations at 6pm for two and the chaos at the front entrance was like it was at the 1st reservations we made last year. At least five reservations around me at the cramped front entrance were for 6pm and there was nobody (hostess??) at the door to organize the chaos. Servers were whippin around and thru the crowd. 50 couples/families can't have 6pm reservations at the same time. The system is broken. Last year, we waited until 7:30 to be seated for a 6pm reservation. Yes, we waited 🙄 and finally got a table. Thought we'd give them one more chance this year because the food is good, but its not thAt good. So, we left and drove over to Thai Village in Pleasant Hill and had a wonderful Valentines Day dinner. Don't waste your time on reservations at Pasta Primavera, they have no reservation system, it means nothing. The wait is at least an hour, even WITH reservations. There's too many other good places to eat around here that do not waste your time. Terrible.

We really enjoyed our experience. Our server, Eva, was very professional and accommodating. We enjoyed the complimentary appetizer as well as our salads, entrees, Italian sodas and dessert. I appreciate that they have some good vegetarian options on the menu.
Per the restaurant employee, Open Table overbooked them by double and they didn't even have our reservation. It was Christmas Eve. We had to find an alternative place to go with a party of 7 on Christmas Eve!!

Loved it best squid ink pasta ever had and the pizze was delicious
I don’t know who is leaving these 5 star reviews probably the owners friends and family. But the food here is so bland and disgusting. The sauces tasted like boiled water and some seasoning. The waitress was scary! She wasn’t smiling, was on her phone and served us cold hard as a rock bread that made a mess all over the table. Then I saw her serve the same bread to someone else, she picked it up with her bare hands after she wiped down the bar counter and didn’t wash her hands. So that probably explains the quality of the food. After the food was served I didn’t see her until I had to hunt her down for to go containers and the bill. And no “thank yous”. No wonder this place was empty my mom was sooo disappointed because we were starving and she wanted Olive Garden and I took here. Sorry mom.

We hadn't been to Pasta Primavera in years! It is great and better than we remembered. We all had a pasta dish, and it was delicious.

Gem of a restaurant with great service. Each dish was carefully prepared and freshness stood out. Attentive, friendly servers in an elegant, classic Italian restaurant. Loved the bread delivered hot from the pizza oven.
