My wife and I went to Prima on a very busy Friday night. We were promptly seated at our reservation time and very quickly greeted by the waiter, who was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive throughout the night. We discussed the wine with our waiter, and his recommendation was perfect - and actually at a lower price point than the one I had originally mentioned.The food was excellent, and the portions were very good. We ended the evening with fantastic Limoncello Martinis and a decadent chocolate cake and gelato combination. The entire experience was everything you could hope for, and enjoyable the entire time we were there. Given that the place was packed (March is one of the busiest times of the year), both food and drink arrived promptly and at the expected temperature - which speaks volumes for the efficiency of the backend operations. Highly recommended.

My husband and I are a big fan of going to different restaurants. We came here for lunch on my husband’s birthday and it was amazing! I rarely leave a review but I had to this time. Our server Ky was AWESOME! The food was great and they had a good price. We are definitely coming back! The owner should be proud of this place!

This used to be my favorite restaurant, but new management pushed out the great entertainment. So sad. ?

Our waitress Sandy deserves a 10 rating, she made sure all our needs were met. She noticed a wobble in the table and had someone fix it. I mentioned the fettuccine under the grouper lacked flavor but the grouper was cooked fantastic. The manager showed up to discuss the fettuccine and make things right. My wifes ribeye was seasoned perfectly and was prepared to a perfect medium as she requested.There was some sort of music playing, I think??, some nice dinner music playing softly would be nice.We will return for another meal.

Amazing food, atmosphere and great service. Melo was a fantastic server and took great care of us. Chris, the manager, checked in to make sure all was well and chatted for a few minutes. Never had a bad meal.

Friends of ours insisted that we try Prima with them. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon and we had already made a reservation and the music coming from the restaurant was just up our alley! We were seated promptly. It took our server about 10 minutes to acknowledge us for a drink order. When refills were needed that took more time than it should have. I waited about 22 minutes for a glass of wine that I wanted to enjoy with my dinner. Everyone at our table got steaks including me. Personally my filet was horrible. I have had many fillets in my life and never had one this tough, undercooked and flavorless. The other stakes were just as bad. The only saving grace was the side vegetables. As the music got louder and we could not get the attention of our waitress because she was up front singing. We just wanted to get our check and leave so we had to bother another waiter. Not sure if we can give this another chance?

Excellent Food and Service. The veal is very good and tender. The Calamari has both rings and tentacles.

Went for brunch and ordered eggs Benedict, first time eggs were hard boiled and sent it back and the second time still over cooked the egg ?‍♂️. I gave up after that. Sever was apologetic and it was taken off my bill. Will try this place again, but won’t try the eggs Benedict.

Took my bride to Prima for Valentine's Day Lunch. 2nd visit as we brought our Villages sales rep and wife there to thank them for our home buying experience. Sat outside and had Crab and Lobster Cakes, soup and salads. Everything was exceptional, the food, service and atmosphere. Becoming our go to for Italian.

The place needs bigger tables to stack all the dirty dishes. Food was marginal but not much of it for the high price tag.
