Primavera Ristorante

Their food was great. The service was above average, amazing! Their bread was delicious. I would recommend a reservation for a weekend.

We had a delightful experience at this restaurant. The staff were very helpful and attentive. The atmosphere was very clean and comfortable. The food was tasty. The dishes could have used a little more seasoning. However, the bread and sun dried tomato eggplant spread was seasoned to perfection. It was absolutely AMAZING!

Excellence with our service of our waiter, Andre & the staff. The food is delectable & the restaurant has a good vibe!

Amazing food and very kind workers. They gave us free bread without charge since it was our first time visiting and we felt very welcomed. Atmosphere is nice the lighting is very nice and they have a beautiful restroom as well. The swordfish steak risotto was incredibly tender and delicious and the portions of the food were great. Would absolutely come again and I definitely recommend checking it out!

One of our favourite Italian restaurants in San Ramon. Their caponata sauce, chicken pasta and pear salad are delicious. We always order caponata dippings to go, I’m still salivating thinking about the pear strawberry salad. The Staff are super nice and it’s very laid back classy warm restaurant.

Had high expectations given their Valentine's dinner charges were $70pp. Very average meal. Pear and strawberry salad was good, caprese was average. Chicken was lacking seasoning. Dessert were bad. Cheesecake texture was awful and there was not graham cracker crust underneath. Tiramisu tasted medicinal on the verge of bitter tasting. Server was excellent. Manager didn't come by to talk but waived the dinner check. Three stars to good service. But not good food.

Good portions. Yummy food. Amazing service. Contemporary Italian decor

Had a quick lunch here with my friend. I ordered the chicken avocado smoked mozzarella sandwich with a red ale and it was delicious. My friend got the swordfish risotto and absolutely loved it. Great staff, incredibly nice and welcoming.

Primavera is a local Italian restaurant that we Like. Staff is friendly and helpful. The server and manager came by to make certain we were having a great evening. The restaurant has two dining rooms along with a small area that connects the two. This is the first time that we were in the South room which can be closed off by a barn door. This room can be opened for parties or when they are busy, like they were tonight. The food was excellent albeit we should have only ordered one "cream" dish. The restaurant split the swordfish risotto for us. Swordfish can be dry but they did a superb job making it flaky and wonderful. We normally don't do dessert but we had to get the Tiramisu tonight. We strongly recommend you give primavera a try.

I have been to this establish at least a handful of times and while I want to give it a great review, it runs short of great in a couple of ways. Staff: super nice but always seem super rushed. Sometimes your lucky if they come back with your request. Food: Inconsistent at best. We have really liked some dishes and end up ordering them a second time and the dish is not nearly as good Or it's way too salty, liquidy, chewy, etc. Why do I keep going back, you may ask? I really want to love this place. The flavors are there and this place has so much potential but it has room to grow. Another added bonus is that its is so close to our home Of Note: their bread and sauces are usually delish

Came here for Mother's Day with a reservation. Checked in and got seated within 5 minutes. While we LOVED the tiramisu (5/5), which was excellent and tasted homemade, the rest of the food was fine and not memorable. I got the shrimp pesto (3/5) and my partner got the grilled salmon Fresca (3/5). Service was okay. We didn't have forks on our table; despite my asking someone for forks they never brought them, so I took forks from an empty table nearby. And while this probably won't affect your meal at all, there was a lot of tacky "art" that looked AI-generated.

I was looking forward a place to host a party of 20 or so and I stumbled upon Primavera. The parameters for hosting an event there seemed agreeable so we tried out the food. We tried the chicken saltimbocca, the carbonara, and the chicken linguine dijon (not a regular menu item but on the catering/event menu). The chicken linguine Dijon was unique and tasty. The carbonara was decent but we weren't a fan of the usage of thick prosciutto, leading to the dish being really salty. Same thing with the chicken saltimbocca, a little salty for my liking. However the portions were generous and the service was good. The set up was nice, they have a main dining room and a side room for parties like we were thinking about. They were easy to communicate with as we made arrangements for our event. They let us come 30 minutes prior to our event to set up and Shelby and Austin were super friendly and attentive to our group for the entire evening. We didn't feel rushed at any point and overall we were pleased with how things turned out. We changed up our menu a bit for the event (didn't have any options that used the thick salty prosciutto) and everyone enjoyed their food. We had a great evening and there wasn't even any other parties that were seated in our room (even though they could have seated people in there if needed), we felt like we had our own private party! Solid food, great service, and a great place to host an event/large group/party!

Made a reservation and came to celebrate a birthday and our food was forgotten and we waited over 1.5 hours to get our entrees after inquiring with two staff there. Even with the reservation it took a while to get seated although our table was open, we had to re-ask the hostess. Food flavors were lacking also the chefs looked so busy and were doing their best I'm sure. Two large tables next to us got their meals before us even though we were seated first. Then after asking the staff they said they would check and no food came out for 15 minutes so we asked again. If you forgot our food, wouldn't they be next in line to be brought out? It was really frustrating and we were starving by then. Only bright spot was they did give us a discount for the wait and for the birthday celebration they comped the dessert. Overall super disappointing experience and the food was not worth the wait. The waiters also kept bumping into us since we were sat on the corners and everyone was rushing around tight spaces but they still didn't come refill our drinks or notice that we didn't get our food until we flagged them down. Really wanted to support a family owned spot but the service and food we received was not it.

We haven't been here in YEARS since we were closer to Albatross, before they closed. So decided we wanted to pick up some take out for dinner since it was a long day of housecleaning and didn't feel like cooking. No dishes to wash The online order was ready when Hubs went to pick up. Unfortunately, by the time the paperbag full of to go containers got home, some of the juice from the clams linguini spilled and left a small puddle on the seat, left a trail of juice into the kitchen floor, and in the bag, leaving me to clean some more. Ugh. After the mess was wiped up, we dived right into the food....only to find no utensils, or parmesean cheese as I clearly requested that in my order. Smh. DD loved her chicken parm where as Hubs thought the angel hair lacked flavor. My clams linguini was one of my favorites in the past. Unfortunately last night, it missed the mark. Aside from it being dryer than usual, the juice spilling out before I had a chance to enjoy it. It lacked flavor too. A pinch of salt would have done wonders. They used a different type of clam than I remember. Little neck? Also the shelled pieces weren't the freshest (tasting on the verge of going bad) that I decided to skip the last piece, not wanting to end up in the restroom. For $33, I wouldn't order this as a take out again. Good thing I had my antipasto meatballs, which I remember was always good. It was. Packed with flavor at every bite. The sauce was just how I like it with just ebough acidity and cheese. There was also their freshly baked warm bread to go with our meal, which I am glad was remembered. I ordered a slice of cheesecake to end our meal. It was barely a thin sliver (larger than an airplane size serving) that wasn't quite enough to share for 3. It was my favorite item of the night, full of mascapone cheese flavor in every bite. Just wish there was more. Next time I will probably stick to the bolognese pasta, as that was my go to back in the days. It would be the safe option.

We have driven past primavera several times but never actually dropped by until a few days ago. We were seated very quickly even with no resy and it being dinner time. Employees were all very friendly and helpful when making their recommendations on customer favorite items. The inside is also really beautifully decorated. The food was just ok though. I can't pinpoint what exactly it was but it was lacking something. It did taste good it just didn't wow me like I was expecting. Raised a star for service though.

Just had a great lunch at Primavera. Was bummed that the Risotto Blanco was not on the menu-our waiter Brian was awesome, he said we could order it anyway. It was delicious as always. Please put the Risotto Blanco back on the menu!

This restaurant is the essence of Italian in San Ramon. The clientele is loyal, as are the staff. Diverse wine list with great food. Love it.

All the food was good. Very tasty and just the right amount. Calamari comes with unique tasty flavor sauce. The Salmon was cooked to perfection. The tiramisu was freshly made

What an unexpected delight! This place was wonderful from moment one. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We were greeted and seated immediately. The bread was delicious, and the entrees were divine. We were a party of seven, and everyone was happy. Having everyone be happy isn't easy. We will definitely return!

What a find!!! Absolute hidden gem!! Went with a party of seven and had a fabulous experience! Our server, Andres (apologize if I spelled it wrong!), he was kind, attentive and on top of everything! The food was amazing; incredible bread, one of the best Caesar salads I've had, burrata was incredible and the meatballs were delicious! Everyone loved their entrees, and the desserts were SO good! I wish I took pictures of everything but everything was being devoured so quickly I forgot! I only managed to get a picture of the grilled salmon and angel hair pasta with marinara which was INCREDIBLE!! The salmon was perfect! And desserts, one of the best cheesecakes ever!!! The flourless chocolate cake is a chocolate lovers dream! The ambiance is awesome, the staff is incredibly nice, just overall a wonderful experience and we absolutely can't wait to go back!!

Great location and great food. Andres recommendations were on point! Bread was fresh and everything we ordered was served quickly.

GRUB Shrimp Pesto/Butternut/ chicken parm - It's not my taste. Also it's important to note I love Rigatoni so when it comes to Italian food don't take me seriously Calamari Antipasto - I'm used to Peruvian calamari but this was good. But the sauce was hella good WOWOWOWOW They played in our face. Bread first, the. Apps, then the saucy pasta? Like I need the bread with my sauce! SERVICE The girl with the nice fake eyelashes was super nice! Very attentive. The manager (I think) showed us to our table and set the tone of the restaurant

I was craving carbonara, and was so glad we found this spot in the area. We didn't have reservations but were sat very quickly and service was great. They brought out a complimentary warm sourdough with this tomato, cheese and garlic sauce which was amazing!!! The carbonara was made with prosciutto which I haven't tried before but it definitely didn't disappoint, it was super fresh, tasty and a big portion too. The vibe is super cozy and traditional, great for family outings.

What can I say about Primavera Ristorante! Absolutely nothing but good things, I made last minute reservations at this restaurant for our 6 Year Anniversary since we were on a time crunch due to our busy work schedules! It was a Monday so the place was not packed, but the ambience was very elegant & welcoming! We ordered the bread and olive oil on the side. I ordered a house salad which was really good. We both ended up ordering the same entree which was the chicken piccata! It had an amazing buttery lemony flavor. And the chicken itself was very flavorful and delicious. Aside from all the good things this place has to offer one and probably the most important is their customer service. As soon as you walk in you are greeted with a smile enthusiasm and excitement. We had the pleasure of being waited by Kyle. By far he is one of the best Waiters we've ever had at any restaurant hands down. Kyle was very attentive, came to the table periodically to make sure we were okay. He asked us questions to ensure that our dishes met our expectations. After we were done with our entrees, Kyle realized that we were there celebrating our anniversary. He right away offered us a complimentary Tiramisu which was amazing! To Kyle, your customer service was impeccable. Keep doing what your doing! We will definitely return & try something else! Definitely Moe Approved!

I was in the area for work and decided to try out this little, unassuming Italian spot for dinner. Located in a large shopping center, it could be hard to find, but there is ample parking. They have indoor and outdoor seating. It was surprisingly busy on a Wednesday evening which I thought was a good sign. Service was great and food came out very quickly. I was in and out in 45 minutes. I ordered the chicken saltimbocca for my entree and it was delicious! A large portion with two chicken filets and penne pasta in a creamy brown sauce. It had melted mozzarella, prosciutto, and mushrooms. I just wish it had more veggies. Also, bread was $5 and since I was by myself, I didn't order it. Would've liked to have a slice complimentary. Prices were reasonable as well.

My husband and I have been visiting Primavera (what we lovingly call "Pasta P") for years. We have always thought of it as our local staple comfort- consistently great. Both good and bad times have been spent under this roof, and in the ultra bad times quite a few DoorDash orders have been made. It appears that ownership changed- I've been told by an employee that it was taken on by the former Albatross owner, but that's unconfirmed hearsay. However, there is an uncanny resemblance to Albatross in the new stunning aesthetic and decor... but unfortunately quality of food and service does not align (which is frankly why Albatross didn't last). Visit after visit, the food and service has declined over the last year plus. More times than not, we have tried to stop by only to be greeted by a locked door when the restaurant was supposed to be open. Our visits have declined as the dependability of our beloved "Pasta P" even being open has drifted away. Unfortunately after our latest experience, I think our time has come to end our visits. We came in at 5:30 on a slow Friday- we placed our orders and then we waited..... and waited........... and waited. Personally, I enjoy waiting for my food to come at a restaurant- I probably have more patience than the standard patron. My husband and I are workaholics and this kind of quality time does not come often. I enjoy a delay in my food being served because it means more time enjoying the moment. However, this wait was so bizarrely long that I thought that our food may have been delivered to the wrong table. After almost an hour, our server stopped by to let us know that our food would be right out... Perfect! It wasn't lost! Five minutes after that, another employee stopped by to apologize to my husband because the special of the day that he ordered was "sold out" and asked what he would like instead... Over an HOUR after ordering?????? To be blunt, that is so beyond unacceptable that there is no excuse to explain it... we were honestly speechless. After a moment to process, we asked to cancel my dinner order so we could leave and I could make us a quick dinner at home. The manager made us wait another 5 minutes for the bill so he could apologize beforehand and let us know that he paid for the $10 side Caesar salad we shared during our hour long wait... great? To add insult to injury, when the bill came the tip breakdown was based on the original bill total (before removing my husband's dish that was "sold out" an hour after he ordered, before removing my dish that we canceled, and before removing the $10 Caesar salad that they covered). This made the tip well over double of the services that were actually received!! I am no Karen. I have worked in the customer service industry for 14 years and I am the last person to give a hard time to someone in the service world... Franky, I give Olympic sized swimming pools of buffer to those in the service industry because I absolutely understand. However, this was so grossly mishandled that my patience buffer has been capped. To forget an order, make the table wait an hour, not comp the meal, and then try to trick us into a higher value tip? No way. I am out. We will cherish our memories of you "Pasta P", but this relationship is no longer working for us. I think it would be best for us to part ways, and we will cheer you on from afar.

Love stopping here with friends for a drink and dinner. I intentionally choose to sit at the bar. The food is always delicious but the bartenders are my favorite. The bar menu has many unique choices and every once in a while the bartender will make you something special, not on the menu. It's one of my favorite places to go to if I want to enjoy a really good drink with exceptional friendly bartenders!

One of my favorite Italian places. I love the food I get here every time I go there. The ingredients always taste fresh, the workers are always so kind. The restaurant is clean and quiet and great place to go for a date night or a family outing.

Best chicken parm I ever had, and this is coming from a New Yorker. Service was alright but the food was amazing. Great atmosphere for dinner, really relaxed.

I went here for a memorial luncheon for my uncle who had recently passed away. The luncheon was in the back room, and we were able to have privacy with family and friends to remember him. I love the decor, service, and the food! I had the bolognese pasta with their bread, which was super tasty. Will definitely be going back when I have a craving for Italian food and want to get off the island.

Primavera is a great neighborhood spot for lunch or dinner. We stopped in on a Tuesday night and were seated promptly. To start, I had the Caesar salad and my husband had the soup of the day. The salad was served with a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. The soup of the day was a generous portion. We were in a risotto mood. I ordered the lamb shank risotto and my husband tried tried the swordfish risotto. Service was friendly and it's a great spot for comfort food.

This is the best food I have had in a long time. We had chicken piccata, salad and the best bread and wine and dessert. Very fresh and tasty. The restaurant was very clean. The manager Austin was very professional and welcoming. Seriously excellent!!!

great atmosphere, excellent service from the staff. the sourdough bread appetizer was warm and soft inside, and the spread is perfect combo and was a hit at our table. i ordered the bolognese plate which was delicious

Our fav pasta restaurant for the last decade! Food is still good but we were very disappointed to find out today that they started charging for the bread and dips! The server did not mention anything about the new charges. It's not just bread and dip... it's the value proposition that this restaurant has been providing to its customers all these years. I bet if you asked around about Pasta Primavera, the first thing that comes to mind will be the bread and dip... so the value is gone. It's like a novelty that has been taken away. Of course the prices have been increasing since pandemic but we do understand the rising costs. However, taking away the free bread and dip is just not right! Dont think we will be back. Sad.

My family's experience at Primavera was definitely worth writing a review for. We arrived right as they opened so there wasn't a wait at all. We started off with drinks & bread. The bread was warm & very tasty sourdough loafs. Our server was super kind & attentive throughout the night. Everyone's plates looked very delicious & well presented. In the video you'll see the Blackened Salmon Caesar salad, the jambalaya, and the Chicken piccata. The Salmon was excellent, packed with flavor & still very juicy when it got to me. Lemon tart for dessert was also very good. I do not believe they are made in house. The only issue there may be for some is that the tables are quite close together and noise does carry. Not meant for a quiet conversation. Very lively. I can't wait to go back & enjoy a nice meal.

I ate here for lunch on a Saturday. Food: Chicken Parmesan: 3/10 The pasta sauce had no flavor. The chicken was overcooked and the cheese was undercooked. How do you overcook a chicken and undercook cheese on chicken parmesian? After returning home, I had a bad stomach ache, perhaps from the chicken. And I also vomited twice. Linguine bolognese: 2/10 Lackluster. No flavor in the meat sauce. Even after adding salt, it still lacked flavor. Service: 2/10 There were only 3 tables. The waiter took a while to take our order. Took even longer to get our drinks. Never checked on us. I had to flag down the manager to get the check. We paid the check and when he returned with the receipts, my credit card wasn't in the folder. He looked for it and realized he dropped it on the floor... The waiter seemed flustered, even though there were only 3 tables. Very disappointed with y experience. Food was flavorless. Service was lacking. And I got a bad stomach ache and vomited from the food...

Great food, atmosphere and service. Great place to come get a bite and walk the beautiful neighborhood.

I can't believe that I haven't reviewed Primavera Ristorante and we've patronized this restaurant for over a decade. Over a decade ago, I first tasted the salmon dill entree, and to this day, I rarely order something else. I usually order an extra lemon half because I like the acidity juxtaposed against the creaminess of the pasta. The dishes are usually consistent and if you let the server know of your special request, it's usually handled in a good way.

Date night on 11/3 and we had a hankering for some Italian. It's lead us to this little gem. We had a fabulous dinner. We did make reservations. Something to note this place closes early. 8:30 on. Friday night. Their restaurant is a nice size. Modern, cozy and perfect for a family dinner or a date night. It sits in a giant but very nice strip mall so there is plenty of parking. They also have a bar and it's like an open kitchen type concept. I love that. Service: Wonderful . Fantastic. Impeccable. Food: Bread w Caponata Dipping Sauce. - it was fresh and delicious. The dipping sauce was nice. I enjoyed it. My better half loved the bread with just some simple butter. STEAMED CLAMS Manila Clams, White Wine, Clam Broth, Herbs and Lemon Juice. I would bottle and sell the broth of this dish. It was tasty fresh and was great with the bread above. The clams were tender and just delicious. CHICKEN PESTO GORGONZOLA Diced Chicken Breast, Mushroom, Diced and Sun-Dried Tomato with Rigatoni in Creamy Pesto Gorgonzola Sauce. Oh my my my. My better half had this but I wanted to steal it. It was creamy, full of chicken and packed with that pesto Gorgonzola flavor. I'll get this on my next trip. LAMB SHANK RISOTTO Lamb Shank with Risotto, Mushrooms and Peas in Cabernet Wine Thyme Sauce. I really loved my dish. The lamb fell off the bone just by looking at it. It was cooked so well. The risotto was tasty different and it made the dish come together. I was just impressed. I have to say this....if you see my other reviews I love food served hot and fresh. This place did that. I saw steam coming from my dish. It was just a fantastic thing. To many places heat lamp things. Not here. It was lovely. All in all a phenomenal little find. Remember to eat at and support local businesses!

The pasta carbonara was delicious. First time trying the strawberry pear salad. At first I was questioning the cheese and dressing, but ended up loving it.

Food (I had the gnocchi): Good (and a generous portion), 4 out of 5 Service: Fair, 3 out of 5 Ambience: Fair (pleasant appearance but very noisy), 3 out of 5 Value: Could be better (rather expensive for lunch), 2 out of 5 Overall: Fair Would I come back? Yes, especially since there are a lot of appealing items on the menu, but I'd try to come when it's less busy. The food was good enough that I'd give 4 stars if it weren't for the service, ambience, and value being mediocre.

I had a craving for pasta and came here for a late lunch. The restaurant was nearly empty so we had our choice of seats. Hot bread was delivered as soon as we sat down. A nice touch. We asked the waiter for 2 minutes while we scanned the traditional menu. 10 minutes later, we placed our order... I had the Linguini Bolognese. The meat sauce lacked flavor, even after adding salt. I do not plan to return.

We came here after yelping some popular Italian restaurants in the area.. so glad we came here! We were seated immediately, staff was very nice and quick with service. Our server was very attentive. The food was delicious, the bread and sauce that was served was so good! We all ordered martinis which were fruity and refreshing. The restaurant itself felt outdated, and the AC wasn't circulating.. the kitchen was right in the center where you could see the chefs cooking. Definitely recommend to satisfy your Italian craving!

Came in for dinner for two. Ordered the bolognese with meatballs and chicken Parmesan. The bolognese was lackluster, and the meatballs tasted like frozen institutional ones. Chicken Parmesan was meh--seemed and tasted reheated, like a leftover. Portions were big, but the food just wasn't very good. Service was friendly but almost too fast--meals came out in 3-4 minutes, which confirmed the reheated vibe.

Came here for dinner on a Friday night with my girl and we were able to get seated pretty quickly. The restaurant was really nicely decorated. We ordered drinks - I got the sangria sunrise and my friend ordered a margarita. Nothing special but they did the job! We both ordered the chicken pesto pasta for dinner and it was soooo good! We were in love with it - super tasty and generous portions. We both took leftovers home. The only downside was that the service was really slow but other than that, we enjoyed ourselves for dinner.

We hosted an event for 28 people here and I was so impressed by the service I received right from the start. Our coordinator Sara walked me through everything and offered suggestions when she could see I needed help. I was grateful for her expertise. On the day of the event we had a family emergency and were possibly going to have to change our plans. The staff were so supportive, offering solutions to accommodate us. It all worked out and the event was a great success. The food was delicious. Portions were generous but of course we still found room for their amazing desserts. Everyone had a good time and we are loyal customers for life.

I have been to this restaurant 3 or 4 times already and decided that it is time to leave a review. The last time I visited was the best one, even though all of them were great, I had no complaints none of the times I came there. We usually visit with a group of 4-7 people and all order different meals, and they are always served fast and there was never anything wrong with it. The food tastes good even when we take them as leftovers and eat them for dinner/on the next day. The design of the place itself is very pleasant and all the staff is extremely nice. I was really touched when the waitress remembered that we were having dinner for my birthday and kept on congratulating me. In the end (it was closing time when we left) she also gave me a cheesecake with a lit on a candle (the day was chaotic so that was the first candle I blew out that day) so that's a memory I'll cherish :)

This has been our go-to restaurant for over 15 years. There are four of us who meet here regularly to enjoy our usual lunch or an early dinner on Sunday evening. The food and services are great, the coffee is fresh and we can linger and chat as long as people aren't waiting. Our group doesn't drink alcohol so I'll let someone else review the cocktails but they have a nice variety of mocktails and they are lovely accommodating special dietary needs. It's been a San Ramon favorite for many friends for many, many years.

Such an underrated Italian spot in the beast bay. A hidden gem. Great menu option. Pasta is bomb, salads are great but the bread and "dipping sauce" are unparalleled.

food was good, service was friendly and ambiance was nic, calm, very pretty as well. good sized portions

Had a lovely lunch here the other day. Don't let the awning outside dissuade, as the interior is quite nice and the food is high quality. Super friendly server who took the time to run through and do some compare/contrast of menu items for us. Added bonus, they have a fun assortment of unique cocktails to pair with your meal. I had the veal soccatumbimetoo...which I am horribly misspelling. Savory, rich sauce over thin cuts of veal with a significant portion of mushrooms and ham in the sauce itself. My wife had the lamb shank which fell right off the bone. Risotto was richly flavored and made for a hearty meal she couldn't even finish.

My son ordered Primavera's Chicken Pesto Gorgonzola for dinner last night. He came home and spent two hours throwing up and broke out with hives. It's more common for restaurants to use pine nuts or walnuts in their pesto sauce. Since peanut allergy is common and can't be deadly, Primavera should disclose this ingredient on the menu, so patrons who have peanut allergies can avoid ordering this dish.

Definitely recommend Primavera for large events! We hosted 31 people for our wedding rehearsal dinner. Sara and Victor were great throughout the whole process, from choosing the menu to prompt communication the entire time. They even upgraded us to a private room for free! The service was tremendous for how big of a group we had and everyone enjoyed the food. The Carbonara and Rigatoni was a fan favorite. Everything also came out in orderly fashion. Don't hesitate to book a large event here!

Awesome amazing food. My husband proposed to me there. The bar tender is still there.

Came here for lunch and the staff were all very friendly and attentive! I ordered the carbonara and was a bit surprised. It almost looked and tasted like a fettuccine Alfredo. It was VERY heavy and extremely salty due to the bacon and prosciutto. I like all these ingredients but it really overwhelmed my pallet and some of the scallion pieces were huge. I tried some of the bolognese pasta and that was great. Not too salty, not too intense. There were a few pastas that I couldn't choose between but thought I would try something different. After the 4th bite, I had to chug water with almost every bite.

Best neighborhood restaurant. The combination of superb food; comforting ambiance and service with a smile makes this a regular hangout for my sister and I. We're fortunate to be served by Andres who knows to start us off with a pear martini and warm bread. Andres always makes recommendations on the days specials and he's never been wrong.

Our family has been coming to Primavera for over twenty years. Usually for special occasions because we like it so much including our annual Mother's Day dinner we had there last night. Of course they were very busy but still maintained a high level of service. Everyone was friendly and as usual the food didn't disappoint. Our table had the strawberry and pear salad which was fresh and perfectly dressed. Chicken Piccata was delicious as usual and the Cioppino has been my new go to meal. It is loaded with seafood and perfectly seasoned. The bottom line is that I love coming here all the time but especially special occasions. Sometimes restaurants can let the service and food slide during busy times but not here.
