We went for the early bird special. The food was very good, the service was also very good. We'll be going back for sure.

Such an amazing restaurant. My mother in law passed away two weeks ago. The owner of Primavera, Sergio, came to her funeral to pay his respects, left a mass card, and sent us trays of food the next day that fed an army. Just amazing. This is the type of business that should be supported in a community. And their food is top notch!

Nestled in the charming town of Millis on Pleasant Street, Primavera brings an honest, heartfelt taste of Italy to the neighborhood — and it does so with style, soul, and seriously good pasta. Whether you're planning a quiet date night or a family gathering, this is Italian food done right!
We started our evening with mouthwatering appetizers including the Tuscan Cheese Board a beautifully arranged selection of rich, creamy cheeses, savory cured meats, and sweet accompaniments — a perfect balance of textures and flavors. The Caprese Fresca was equally delightful: juicy, vine-ripened tomatoes layered with velvety mozzarella. Next came the Crispy Brussels Sprouts, roasted to golden perfection with a caramelized crunch. The Calamari Fritti was light, crisp, and tender — the kind of appetizer that vanishes from the plate almost instantly.
When it comes to pasta, Primavera shines. Each bite of their house-made pasta was tender yet perfectly al dente, with a delicate texture that clearly reflects the care and tradition behind it. The Pasta Bolognese featured a rich meat sauce that was hearty, savory, and deeply comforting. The Serafina’s Seafood di Mare was a showstopper — a luxurious medley of fresh, succulent seafood tossed in a fragrant garlic white wine sauce, served over linguine.
For the meat lovers, the Grilled Steak Tips were juicy, boldly seasoned, and cooked to a flawless medium-rare. On our next visit we are defiantly trying the Mixed Grill Platter!
To end the night, we were surprised with made-to-order cannoli — crisp, golden shells filled with luscious, sweet ricotta cream and topped with a colorful, fun variety of toppings from chocolate chips to crushed pistachios. It was a playful and indulgent finale to a truly memorable meal.
The service throughout the evening was warm, friendly, and attentive. The staff clearly takes pride in what they serve — and with good reason.
A huge thank you to the Primavera team and our waitress Marilyn for an unforgettable dining experience, and a special shoutout to Jerry for his kindness and generosity.
We’ll absolutely be back!

We recently hosted a surprise 80th birthday party for my mother-in-law at Primavera, and it was truly a perfect experience from start to finish. Briana, the event director, was an absolute pleasure to work with—responsive, professional, and full of wonderful suggestions, including referrals to a fantastic photographer and balloon artist who helped bring the space to life.
The decor was stunning, the food was plentiful and absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere made for a beautiful, memorable celebration with our family and friends. My mother-in-law was overjoyed, and it’s an event all of us will cherish forever.
I highly recommend Primavera for any special event—Briana and the team made the entire process seamless and enjoyable!

My family and I have been going to Primavera for many years. We love the atmosphere and the staff. They always go above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. Terri is lovely and makes us feel like we are surrounded by family when we are there. We love the family platters and then entire experience is a perfect ten for us. Very accommodating for a family of 5!

Good quality food for the price. HUGE portions! TERRIBLE service! Plan on a minimum 2.5 hours for dinner. Our waitress, while pleasant, had no awareness of when we needed more drinks, the next course, plates cleared or the check. For the record, the restaurant wasn’t busy. Great space that is very under utilized. If you go, sit at the bar where I assume you’ll get more attentive service.

Very generous portions, consider sharing one if you're not a leftover person. Or, just eat the whole thing, the food is so delicious! Great wine selection starting at $9 and up for a glass. Beautiful function room, our son & wife had their wedding reception there.

We used to love Primavera. To this day the staff are generally very nice people that want you to have a good time. But the restaurant is always understaffed so the waiters are always overworked. Also, a year or so ago, the kitchen staff changed and the food quality and consistency took a nose dive. Just about every time we've gone, or ordered in, since then there's been some problem or another. Their homemade pasta just isn't the same anymore. Pasta is regularly overcooked. Sometimes the wait staff does something about it, sometimes they don't. They should probably also work on the fact that in the winter there's drafts in some parts of the restaurant that are unbearably cold. This is a hallmark of the town and I genuinely hope they improve again.

It's good food but don't rely on them for an event. They will be late. That's the one thing you can't mess up for an event.
