Beautiful restaurant great service! I had Darren was very kind and made my birthday very special
Was an impromptu first time visit and loved it. The back bar area was just my speed - quiet, intimate, and the playlist was on point. The bartender was attentive and the food runner was wonderful. Will be back in the near future to try more drinks and different dishes.
Everything was absolutely phenomenal! We started off with the Caesar salad, fried mozzarella w/ caviar, and the ceviche italiano. The mozzarella was a heavenly experience!!!! The ceviche was incredibly fresh and this is undoubtedly my new favorite Caesar salad. For mains we enjoyed the lamb rack and rigatoni al a vodka accompanied by the family side of carrots. The spice level on the vodka sauce was PERFECT, carrots were insane, and lamb rack was delicious. Of course dessert was also perfect; the chocolate mousse was to-die-for! Everything and everyone was incredible - from our server Brynne to the super knowledgeable sommelier to the general ambience and vibe. We will DEFINITELY be returning ASAP!! Thank you, Prima and staff, for making my husband's birthday dinner so so so special!
The food was incredible, our server Tom was phenomenal, he took amazing care of us & made the evening really special! Can't wait to come back!
We had a fantastic time at Prima! The meal was delicious and the service was so fast it was almost confusing. Will be back!
We had the best night ever! Have been wanting to come to PRIMA forever. My mother and two best friends joined and we began our night in the Rose room then ate dinner in the Park room. I have celiac disease and the staff took it very seriously and knew what was safe for me to eat. We finished our night dancing in the Park room. PRIMA lives up to the hype - not only in ambience but the food is amazing and staff truly made our night so special. Thank you! A night we will never forget!!
This was my first time at Prima. I had always heard good things and was excited to try it out. Because of horrible traffic, I was 20 minutes late for my reservation. I called and they were very accommodating. First impression was that it is a beautiful restaurant. We were seated immediately and our server came right over to offer water and drinks. We ordered the tuna crudo - which was a small portion but lovely. We also got the bread plate (house made bread and fresh ricotta). This was delicious and I would be happy to eat the bread every day. Our sommelier was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us to select a beautiful wine that opened up beautifully. So far so good. One of my dinner companions and i decided to split a steak and several sides. The steak was cooked well but was very fatty. The crispy brussel sprouts we basically raw - not at all crispy. The mushrooms were cold and flavorless. The house steak sauce was excellent. My other dinner companion had the scallops, which he said was good, not great. The other comment is the restaurant is quite loud. if you are looking for intimate conversation, you will be better served going elsewhere. Honestly, with the steak and italian food options in Boston, I probably won't double back on this one but if I lived close by, I would consider it for drinks and apps.
We celebrated my 30th birthday here with a group of 5. Everyone's drinks were excellent, the service was excellent and the ambiance was just beautiful! The food was amazing, For starters we ordered the Caesar Salad, Garlic Bread, Fresh Mozzarella, Octopus & beef tallow fries (would not get the octopus again, it was overcooked and very chewy, fries were good but lacking flavor). The other three items were excellent! For mains we all split the Tomahawk, Rigatoni Vodka, Seafood Pasta all of which were excellent. For dessert we got the trio sampler (tiramisu, mousse & yellow cake) as well as a cannoli which everyone loved! It was probably one of the best I've had. All in all I think the experience was worth the value and we will be coming back!
We finally made it to Prima and it didn't disappoint !! We sat in the bar area and our waitress was Michelle. She made a few recommendations that were outstanding and she was a great waitress. We look forward to returning.
We had a really nice anniversary dinner. Food was all delicious and they even brought out a complimentary appetizer. The rose room was beautiful

Far better steak than I've had at any steakhouse in the city. It is worth walking over the bridge for. The wine selection was excellent! The sides were amazing and different.  Great value
The food and drinks were outstanding as were the bartenders and one of the hostesses. That being said though, the younger, initial hostess we spoke to was rather rude and extremely unfriendly. The other older woman was lovely and super nice. The younger hostess seemed generally disinterested in being there and talking to people. I personally wouldn't want her being the face of my restaurant. The other staff made up for her lack of hospitality.
Everything was excellent. Sommelier recommended an outstanding wine replacement when the bottle we selected was sold out. Steak was tender and cooked to perfection, GF pasta was good!
Food and services was amazing. Only thing I could say was the unenjoyable part was the seating the chairs were uncomfortable.
Wonderful host and experience! We went for a birthday brunch and everything was beyond perfect
