Cafe Prima Pasta

Excellent food and ambience !! From the start, staff was very attentive of our party of eight, assuring we were all well taken care of. We were gifted dessert to try and wine which was a complimentary gift from our waiters. Food was absolutely delicious and everyone at the table was very pleased with their dish. At the end of our night we sang one of our friends a Happy Birthday where the entire restaurant and staff sang and clapped along. Overall, the service and atmosphere was beyond what we expected, very family oriented, and a must visit !! We’ll be back soon !!

Awesome place!! Our favorite Italian in Miami. The food, the service, everything is perfect. They really know what they are doing. Best meatballs and lasagna in town. Arugula salad is perfection. Bread is dangerous because is so good. The branzino and potatoes were delicious. Congratulations to all the staff for the excellent job! Parking is small but if you make a left and go for one block, there’s another public parking, walking distance.

After going to several restaurants in Miami I can definitely say.. this one is the best in town ! Great atmosphere ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Awesome waiter attention ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The food was an awesome trip of taste ! If you go.. order the Risotto with Osobuco is the specialty of the house ! Also Tiramisu is a must !

Nice ambience, great staff and service but the food was disappointing. Overcooked lobsters over pasta, excessive dressing on tuna tartare…. Not a good experience

Amazing Italian restaurant! The service and food were amazing. I had their meatball spaghetti, and the meatballs were so soft and tasty… it was definitely the best meatball spaghetti I’ve had in my life. Tiramisu was very creamy and so good. The waiters were very nice too!

Nick our server was phenomenal!! The food took me back to when I was a kid and my Aunt and Uncles restaurant, such good memories. Highly recommend this place. From the ambience to the food to the staff, AMAZING!!!

Food was delicious! I love this place, just a recommendation: it was so crowded that I felt our waiter was in hurry for us to order the food. I think maybe because they wanted to release asap the table.

Best restaurant I've ever eaten at in my life, they have my heart. I go there with great joy!! Wonderful food and treatment!!! Manuel José treated us very well!!! Eat Ossobuco and Risotto amazing!!

Food 10 points Service 9.5 points Ambiance 10 points This restaurant is out of this world. IT IS ALWAYS the same great food and service. We again last night had a wonderful time. Thank you all, and specially thank you, Fabio for treating us with so much love and care. We appreciate this very much.

Sexy very delicious restaurant! The ambiance inside was that of a sexy vampire lounge. Everyone looked good in the lighting and the decore felt very upscale in an exclusive vampire lounge way. My sister and I were treated with a pasta sampling, Bruschetta, and champagne! I made sure to tip extra for all of that (they do an automatic 18% which was less than they deserved in my opinion). The wait staff was excellent and very attentive to our table and every table around. The PASTA was divine. Very very rich in flavor. Mine was a stuffed pasta with pear and truffle that exploded then melted in my mouth in the best way. My sister's meal was a hearty lobster ravioli with peas that complimented the butter cream sauce. Shoutout to Jose and Gus our wait staff for being very sweet and super attentive.

The ambiance is very nice and wish we were seating inside but they only had availability outdoors. Wish they had more gf options on their menu, which is why I ordered a salad. But the lobster and crab ravioli itself was quite yummy. Although I've had way better Italian food at other restaurants. The service was very good and did not disappoint. Would still recommend this place if you are in the area. I would return and order other things off the menu to try new items.

Delicious! Not out of this world, but pretty damn good. I can see why Messi pops in and out sometimes. Service was great, they really try to sell you on the plates. Ambiance was nice, warm and Italian style. A bit too dark for me, I like to see my food haha.

This find was amazing! I'm always on the hunt for good Italian food and this place did not disappoint! The Fiocchi Rapera is a must try! It blew my friend & I's mind. We've never had anything like it! The pear gave it such a nice & sweet touch. The service was amazing. My friend & I were helped the second we stepped into the restaurant & they were pretty busy but got us seated pretty quickly. We told them it was our first time there, and they gave us complimentary Bellinis! Ambiance was so cute! A very intimate vibe.

Excellent dinner with friends at Prima Pasta. We were ten adults and everything was good. They have a nice front patio and it's nice inside too, frames from famous people as wall decorations, cute. A little dark for me inside, I like to be able to read the menu and see my food without the light of the cell phone. But I must said the restaurant looks harmonious and elegant without being ostentatious. My 5 stars go without a doubt to the most professional waiter I have ever met in my life. I don't remember his name (tall, I think from Mexico?) He took our order without writing it down and he remembered each order perfectly. We all ordered appetizers, wine selections, different cocktails, desserts, etc. And everything arrived hot and as we wanted. My compliments for the chef and best waiter in Florida! Bravo Prima Pasta!

You know Café Prima pasta is one of our favorites. We must go there at least once every week or so for a great pasta meal. I had the homemade noodles with a Ragu sauce. That was absolutely incredible. The bread of course is great. Service was excellent truthfully service has gotten a lot better since the first time I went there. Yeah ambience was very upbeat. The crowd was kind of on the young side, which was nice and the amazing wine that we had. It was really a beautiful evening. The service was excellent till next time bon appétit

Amazing place! Food, service and ambiance were excellent. As soon as you walk in this place, it gives you a warm, intimate feeling with low lighting - similar to a New York Italian restaurant. My boyfriend and I went on a Saturday night with reservations and it was a full house, packed with a lot of people! Make sure to make reservations or you will wait a while. Loved the decor with photographs of celebrities on the wall. Service was top tier. Our waiter was excellent! He was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. Food was AMAZING!! Quality and freshness on point. Salmon Carpaccio: Delicious - light, flavorful and fresh! It was drizzled with lemon and capers. This is great for a light appetizer. Fiocchi Rapera: This was my meal and it is my FAVORITE! I believe it's the house favorite as well. Another light dish, pasta purses are filled with pear and cheese and has a flavorful sauce. It was perfect! Chicken Marsala: My boyfriend had this and he loved it. I tasted it as well, and it was delicious - a classic Chicken Marsala, you can't go wrong with. Ricotta Cheesecake with lemon sorbet on the side: Delicious! I would say this dessert was on the heavier side out all our dishes. We probably could of fared better with a creme brûlée. Nonetheless, the cheesecake was flavorful and decadent! Only con to this place: Parking! Circled the block so many times for street parking as the small public parking lot next to it was full. They have Valet parking at $15 though. After circling the block for 30 min, we finally found street parking nearby. If you live nearby, best bet would be to come in an Uber. Will definitely be back!!

We came here for our Anniversary Dinner. We didn't have reservations but thankfully we didn't need them. We were offered to dine outside or wait for a table inside which would take 20 mins. We decided to eat outside. It was a lovely night and it was still light outside. My goodness the bread basket is delectable. Nice crunchy Italian bread. I could devour the entire thing but I wanted to make room for our apps and dinner. It was a pretty busy night so our server asked us to place our entrée order with our apps as soon as possible. He didn't want us waiting forever for our food to come. We placed an order for our usual, Calamaretti and Zucchini Fritti, along with a Moscow Mule, Lychee Martini, Black Linguini Seafood, and a special of Shrimp & Salmon Linguini in Pjnk Sauce. We enjoyed our meals until my husband ended getting sick. Something about his Black Linguini Seafood didn't sit right with him once we got back to our hotel room.

I came here for a friend's birthday dinner and we loved it! The service was amazing, and they were making us feel like family. This restaurant is also decorated so cute and feels super traditional. We received Bellinis, bruschetta, bread and butter, and limoncello on the house. My main dish was the chicken Parmesan which was actually my least favorite dish of the night but I loved everything else! Also the espresso martini was a 10/10! I'm looking forward to coming back here for sure!

I have lived 10 blocks away from Prima Pasta for the past 12 years. I drive past it every day on my way home from work. It has taken me until now to pay a visit to this North Beach fixture. Shame on me! We went for their happy hour last night and could not be, well.... happier with everything! The ambience, the service and of course, most importantly, the food! The interior is warm, inviting and lovely! We didn't have a reservation but they seated us with no problem. We ordered a bottle of Malbec and started with the zucchini fritti. It was perfectly crisped on the outside and meltingly delicious on the inside. We next had the 30 year anniversary pasta, and the black linguini seafood. Both were outstanding! The 30 year anniversary pasta was lemony and bright, while the linguine was rich and decadent! Throughout the meal, the service was perfect! Attentive without being overbearing. The wonderful waitress didn't rush us as we lingered over the last of the wine. This place is always packed and it's for a good reason! We can't wait to come back!

We went here this weekend for my birthday after receiving some recommendations, and we were blown away! I wasn't sure what to expect because it seemed more of a "casual" place. But it turned out to be perfect! The ambiance was so beautiful. Our reservation was at 6:00 pm, but it was still dark inside with beautiful lights. The food was delicious (and regular sized portions lol). I got the squid ink seafood linguine, and my husband had the crab ravioli. We ordered a jar of red sangria which was a much bigger pitcher than most places where we've ordered it (probably about 6-8 glasses). We had the fried zucchini which was my least favorite part. It was good but too much breading for my preference. My toddler had chicken Milanese. And we had flan for dessert which was amazing. Forgot to add we were served a bruschetta when we sat down and then another bread basket which was delicious. Also just have to add that the staff was so incredibly friendly!! Literally all the different servers were engaging and friendly and all interacted with my 2-year-old too and were a lot of fun. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is in the area!

JUST AMAZING !!! So worth the drive !! I loved this resteraunt and will drive 1 hour again to eat here . It was DELICIOUS. Everything was great. It was a great ambiance. The waiter was very attentive. They had a good miami spice menu too! I got the lasagna which was amazing. Another favorite of mine was the pasta stuffed with pear, that was a bit sweet. My father got the salmon which was delicious.

When you walk into Prima Pasta it feels like you're walking into the history of this Italian restaurant. It's been around for years and there are photos covering the entire wall of classic celebrities. They make their pasta fresh in the kitchen with the best cream sauces. The stuffed pasta ingredients are unique, such as a fig or pear. Get the mini fiocchi as an appetizer. The eggplant parmigiana is the tastiest way to eat an eggplant, sliced thin and topped with gooey cheese. Their spaghetti and meatballs is served with addictively fresh tomatoes sauce! I love a super well made tomatoes sauce. The spaghetti pasta is thinner than what I normally see in other places, an enjoyable chew. The presentation of veal was spectacular with salad topped over it and crispy thin truffle fries on the side. The special risotto of the day was three mushroom blend with smoked mozzarella melted into risotto topped with shrimp. The cheese pulled up so high when you grabbed a scoop, cinematic experience! For dessert, their ice cream is incredibly creamy. The pistachio is heavenly, rich real nutty pistachio, pretty gelato like. The apple pie is thinnest layer of crust and thick warm spiced apple slices, best tart ever! I haven't had pie like this before. The affogato is a perfect espresso pick me up and the creme brûlée is creamy crisp sugar goodness. Have to come back to try the rest of the menu!

Great service that was attentive to filling up our waters and bringing our bread. I got the chicken limone. It was tasty but wasn't anything spectacular. Large portion. The side pasta is completely average-something I'd make at home. The chicken was tasty and I loved the lemon sauce. The chocolate mousse was the standout. Very creamy and loved every bite. Get it. Worth it. I like the ambiance lighting and all the signed photographs around the ceiling.

what a wonderful establishment to randomly come by! the entire staff treated us like family/ queens! wait wasn't long on a Wednesday night, was offered free Bellini champagnes and some appetizers like brushetta and breadsticks with olive oil, vinegar, and balls of cheese ... too good... we ordered the most popular item on the menu, the Fiocchi Rapera, and wanted another pasta, Ossobuco! the fiocchi rapera -- pears and cheese wrapped inside with truffle creamy sauce... went through a rollercoaster of flavors it was so unique from any other italian pasta i've ever tried (even the leftovers tasted so good)! THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE SERVICE AND BEAUTIFUL AMBIANCE AND AUTHENTIC ITALIAN FOOD!

I'm always rushing here after work to catch the happy hour. It's super reasonable, always good, and it feels like home with the staff. My only complaint is that it's not open more often. The food is amazing! I haven't ordered anything I regret yet. chicken parm drinks cannoli Italiana burrata spaghetti and meatballs wine It's a little dark inside, but it's cute and maintains its traditional structure. It's much bigger than it looks, but the bar is a little small. I'm a regular so I'll be back. Plus Henry at the bar is my boy

Having been in business for over 30 years, Café Prima Pasta has truly mastered the art of Italian cuisine, and it's evident from the first bite. The food here is nothing short of delicious--each dish bursting with flavor and made with care. It's no surprise that this has become another one of our regular spots; it's simply too good to resist. If you're in the mood for authentic Italian fare that will leave you craving more, Café Prima Pasta is the place to go. Just be sure to make reservations ahead of time, as this gem tends to fill up quickly. Trust me, it'll soon become your regular spot too!

Best food!!!! Recommend the crab ravioli, Chicken Limone & Lychee Martini! Must try the Chicken Limone with Penne Vodka Sauce yummm

The atmosphere in this restaurant is wonderful , the decor makes the ambiance very inviting and cozy from the lamps the color scheme and the multitude of photos of celebrities with the owner or manager. Service is impeccable and could not be better, I had the Osso Bucco with a saffron risotto that was excellent and the appetizers were also great. The only reason I didn't give it the fifth star is that I observed two non-service dogs inside the dining room and that's a health violation. They should observe the codes.

Hadn't been here in many years and it was still as busy as I remember it and the food was pretty good but the service was even better - I had the Fiocchi Raper which was sensational I'd give that dish 5 stars . My husband had the lasagna which was just ok and we shared the caprese salad. I always feel like I'm in New York when I come here and although it has been a while I'm glad the vibe is still there

Finally got to try this gem in Normandy Isle! We came on a Thursday and sat at the bar. Was immediately greeted by Henry the magnificent and charming bartender! He quickly got us drinks. We missed the happy hour, which is from 4:30-6pm but that menu looks fabulous and will definitely be back for it. We did the Miami Spice menu. Henry brought us some bruschetta and bread with butter. For apps we ordered the Carpaccio di manzo and polpo alla toscana. The carpaccio is one of the best I've tried thus far! A mix of acidic and savory and the polpo was mixed with white beans and small potatoes. And the meatball parmigiano, omg just like Nona's! Delicious! Prego! The main entree we ordered agnolotti pomodoro and the Arturo skirt steak, which came with two! Everything just hit the spot. And for desert of course we had to try the tiramisu and cannoli. I'm not a sweets person, but did I finish the whole thing! I loved the ambiance and the romantic indoor setting. All Around the resturant you have framed pictures of famous and local people that have visited and we can't forget that our fav and OG Messi is a frequent flier can't wait to be back! Gratzi Mille!

The food is tasty with a great variety of dishes , great vibes italian restaurant,always full of people you need to make a reservation to eat here, parking is a bit pricey if you don't find a spot nearby but food is sooo good they have option like pizza pasta or salads ambiance is so elegant yes fun service as usual is 10/10

The environment is amazing, they have a great vibe. Our servers Julia and Lobo were friendly and help us with every doubt we had. About the food: bread was very good, crispy on the outside and very soft on the inside. Sangria was just ok. My seafood linguine with creamy lobster sauce was the best of the table. Chicken marsala was ok. The especial risotto, with mascarpone was delicious, but the lobster was not tasty at all, and was cooked too much, it was rubbery.

One of my favorite local places to go to in the neighborhood. The ambiance is so fun and inviting perfect date night or family get together. The food is always great and service it's also. I've been coming for years and Henry the bartender is the best! He has been here for a long time. He is friendly and just makes you want to sit down talk with him and enjoy. Everything I order is always great! Chicken parmigiana and calamari is my go to. Love the cedar salad and seafood pasta.

I've dined here a few times when I've craved an American Italian meal. Ordered Eggplant Parmesan and chicken parm entrees for pick up to dine at home. Was super disappointed with the eggplant. Literally 2 incredibly thin sliced eggplant loaded with cheese and heavily breaded. Very aware of what it should look and taste like. I'm italian and it's normally my favorite dish to order when I'm at a restaurant that serves it. Looked more like an appetizer but it did come with a small side of overcooked penne which deemed it an entree. Called when I got home was passed to 4 different people and never got a call back that was promised. Not worth $28.

When you walk in you feel at home it's like you've walked into your nona's kitchen. All four of our meals were outstanding and our server was incredibly knowledgeable of both the menu also Made us aware the kitchen could handle any request. We arrived early to a vibrant fun crowed at the bar with two amazing bartenders. The food the people and wine very fun definitely our new go to Italian on the beach, Grazie ancora!!!!!

Hands down the best Italian restaurant! The food is impeccable, from the zucchini appetizer to the veal giardino, veal parmigiana, to the tiramisu. The tiramisu in particular was soft and yummy. The service is excellent and the ambiance is well balanced and family style. If you are in Miami, it is definitely worth a visit

This restaurant is absolutely delicious and top notch staff. The place is cozy and makes you feel at home. The food was the best we ate in Miami Beach!

Best Italian food I have had in years... Dined in on a Tuesday night and it was packed. We followed the server's rec and ordered the risotto special and WOW this dish is phenomenal - packed with seafood: clams, squid, scallops, shrimp... and they all taste fresh :) We also had meatballs with ricotta and green garden salad - both were awesome. The complementary bread and bruschetta were super tasty as well. The interior was gorgeous, dimly lit with the cool wall plastered with tons of framed photos and restaurants' recognition and news articles about the place. The servers were very attentive and helpful with suggestion~ There is an auto 18% service fee added to the bill. Overall great experience, I'd def come back next time in Miami

Saw this place on instagram and wanted to check it out while visiting Miami and it was worth the drive to Miami Beach. The ambiance was amazing also very romantic. Our waiter was soo kind and charming. He did a great job explaining all the options and specials for the evening. Even made me a mocktail that wasn't on the menu. We had a lychee mocktail and a Moscow mule both drinks were great. For the food we had the steak and fries along with the seafood special which was scallops, mussels and fish over risotto, both dishes were superb. Would definitely come back again to try the other dishes on the menu.

Ambiance: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Food: 5 stars I am visiting Miami on a little vacation and while here, my boyfriend wanted to take his mom and I out somewhere for dinner. We have driven past this place a lot, so we decided to see what it was all about. The ambiance is warm with a casual yet upscale vibe. We dressed up business casual, but I saw many other patrons dressed very casually. Despite it being very busy, it still maintains an intimate feel. I had made a reservation, so we were seated immediately. The service was great. Our waiter said he could converse in English, Spanish, or even Italian! He was friendly and welcoming. Throughout our dining experience, other servers came by to take plates away, clean the table, and ask if we needed anything. It's nice that they all work together. The food was delicious, from the complimentary bruschetta as well as bread basket, to our calamari appetizer (calamaretti fritti), to our entrees: black linguine seafood as well as crab raviolotti (ravioli), to our tiramisu dessert. Allow me to expand a little on each item... The bruschetta was a nice starter! I poured a little olive oil and balsamic on top, which I love. Surprisingly, they also brought a basket of assorted breads + a plate of butter after the bruschetta. Everything was yummy. Next was the calamari appetizer, which was good . It also had fried zucchini mixed in which we didn't expect, and came with a marinara sauce to dip them in. The portion size was huge and perfect for sharing. My only critique is that while the zucchini was good, it felt like a filler where we would've wanted a ratio of more squid to less zucchini. For our entrees, my boyfriend and I each got the black linguine seafood (Squid ink pasta with seafood. Choice of tomato or creamy lobster sauce). We chose the creamy lobster sauce which was delicious and rich. It was filled with an assortment of plenty of seafood. My boyfriend's mom got the crab raviolotti (Filled pasta with crab meat in a creamy lobster sauce). I tried hers too and may have enjoyed hers even more than the tasty seafood pasta I got! To finish our dinner, we shared a tiramisu for dessert. It was soft, creamy, and moist. We loved everything and look forward to coming back!

Agreed ambiance, but mediocre food at best. They get great rating but The system is corrupt.

This place has been a Miami Beach staple since as far back as I can remember. I finally had the pleasure of experiencing it first hand. Service was impeccable from start to finish. We were greeted by our server almost immediately. Another gentleman promptly brought warm bread and butter to the table. My friend used her awesome Yelp check in offer for two Bellini's- which were light and tasty. My friend also had a spicy margarita that was delicious. Unfortunately the waiter did not want to honor my Yelp check in offer. He said that there could only be one per table, which I found odd as my friend and I were paying separate and I also read reviews from other people that said they all were able to redeem their check in offer while dining together. We didn't want to make a fuss about it, though. On to the food and it was sooo good. We both ordered chicken parm and the waiter said we could substitute the side of pasta with different types of pasta and sauce. I went with angel hair with the standard marinara sauce. My friend got hers with linguine and vodka sauce. Both plates were very pleasing. Very flavorful, nice and hot, and just really good. Our bill arrived and here comes another small hiccup. Instead of $26.95 for our plates mine was $28.95 and my friends was a whopping $31.95. We assumed that this was because we had made substitutions, and felt that the waiter really should have advised us there would be an up charge. The way he presented it gave absolutely no indication of such, and I think $5 extra for a different sauce and type of pasta from spaghetti to linguine is a bit extreme, especially considering the plate was already $27 to begin with. The ambiance is super cute. Very intimate and romantic feeling, but also lovely for any gathering whether with friends or family. The place gets packed, so best to make a reservation and plan to be on time or you will lose your table. Overall service, food, and ambiance were all excellent and I would return.

We came for the first time and now I understand why everyone talks about it. Great ambiance, great food, fresh pasta and salads and service on point. Thank you for a great night, we will be back

The fact that after 2 years of not being here i'm writing a review because of how good this pasta was. Till this day my mouth is watering. I went with my friend and her mom and we got the lunch special and it was SO GOOD like I was never excited to eat leftovers the day after. This is something you definitely need to try it's definitely real pasta and not something you'll find easily.

There is no way to go wrong at this place. They are flexible, the food is with high quality ingredients, all plates are well served and well executed, service is attentive without overwhelming, the place reminds me of Nee York and the music is always on point. I strong recommend this place while in Miami.

What a wonderful experience dining at Café Prima pasta. I used to live on the beach and always wanted to go there now that I don't live on the beach I had my partners birthday party there and it did not disappoint. We reserved a total of five or six tables Totaling over 25 people. The staff at Café Prima pasta created two large tables so all of our guest could sit together and they went out of their way and above and beyond for all of us to have an exceptional time. Thank you thank you for the gracious manner in which we were treated The place has. The place has the best ambience. You feel like you are in Italy. I love the decor and the lighting we started out having drinks at the bar. The appetizers were wonderful, and the entrées as well. I ordered the Osso Bucco over risotto and my partner, had the spaghetti. I also got to taste a couple of other entrées, Friends of mine had ordered. Everything was absolutely delicious. They went out of their way to sing happy birthday and make us all feel fantastic , especially the birthday boy. The desserts were to die for I highly recommend Café Prima pasta and I'm looking forward to coming back. Thank you once again to the entire staff of Café Prima pasta, you really outdid yourselves and made our night very very special.

The food was absolutely delicious! Fried calamari and fried zucchini were lightly fried, my husband had pasta with seafood, very nice portion and very good. Authentic Italian! Bravissimi! Ps. Great service as well!

La comida de este lugar es espectacular, y el servicio incluso mejor, una experiencia maravillosa y única , cien por ciento recomendado

It's been here a long time for sure, I remember taking my wife on a first date here. The food is ok- not great. I found it a bit salty for my taste. The veal was tough. Veal is not supposed to be tough. The pasta was OK. I found the portions to be slightly smaller than I was used to. The parking is not so easy but street parking is free at 6:00. It's a little loud for my taste and a little packed in with small tables. The service was good. I would not go back with all the other choices on Miami Beach.

The food was perfect, better than expected. The service was the best I have ever experienced, multiple waiters tended to us. The vibes were very comfortable and nice.

Food is OK, nothing to rave about, but ambience is very unique - great place to take a date because it's very cozy - with a dash fantasy)

Where do I even start. The food was out of this world. The flavor was amazing. The atmosphere was beautiful. The service was exceptional. We didn't have to wait long because we made a reservation. It gets really really packed even during the weekdays. I highly recommend visiting them. There's nothing on the menu you will not enjoy.

Meals Ordered *Seabass risotto asparagus (Special) *Penne vodka + chicken parm Dessert Ordered: *Chocolate Mousse Cake *Crème brûlée Service was excellent with filling up waters and other tables drink. They all work hard and together with teamwork. The tables leave they set tables up quickly again for new guest. Atmosphere is very romantic, and elegant. Do know It is on the expensive side. Restaurant is on the fancy side. My wife really enjoyed our date and meals. We had a bite of each others dishes and desserts. I ordered the chocolate mousse cake in memory of my grandfather who enjoyed that dessert very much. He loved chocolate mousse cake and hearing that they had that for one of the desserts I thought of him. I am not a fan but I wanted to eat in memory of my grandfather eating it. I miss him very much. Thank you to this restaurant and staff for a wonderful first experience for us and letting us dine with you all and also in taking care of us very professionally. Our server was excellent.

Lovely, cozy restaurant, nicely decorated.  Excellent service, wonderful food, delicious cocktails.  Great happy hour every day of the week 4:30-6:00.  Its parking lot is small so gets full quickly.  They have valet parking for $15, or there is a public parking lot behind it plus street parking.  Didn't give it 5 stars because they do not do separate checks.

This restaurant screams LOVE!!! Everything about this place is wonderful. Super kind hearted establishment. I wouldn't change anything about!!! So how does the food taste you may be wondering.... Perhaps a bit like something from Little Italy in NYC on a cold holiday vacation evening. You must give CPP a chance. Totally worth it! We try to visit at least once a month! See you in June

Food was once again excellent- pasta was Al dente, veal can be cut with a fork and the chicken piccata was delicious. Service- attentive without being intrusive. Prompt, courteous... Ambience is old school Italian- feels like I'm back in Boston 50 Years ago. Ricardo and Camilla fantastic!

Prima pasta is a local favorite and a must! Delicious food, variety of options, and such an authentic feel at the restaurant. The ambiance is bustling with customers and there are framed autographs throughout the restaurant. I have never been disappointed with Cafe prima pasta and it's unusual for me to go to a restaurant and have multiple items I'd order from the menu at any time, making my decision challenging as it's delicious. Many times, we have split dishes, gotten to go, etc. a reservation is a must although you can try walk in and wait at the bar but very packed nightly and on the weekends, likely a better chance for walk in during the week.
