Primola

"The only reason this restaurant gets 2 stars is for the great service. The food, however was at best mediocre and very overpriced: the vegetables and breadsticks in the appetizer dish were stale and old. The caprese salad included only two (!) small slices of tomato and mozzarella. The risotto ai frutti di mare (seafood risotto) was tasteless. The pasta dishes of my colleagues were a bit better, but nothing spectacular."

"Primola on the Upper East Side is a fantastic restaurant that's become an institution. Their food, especially the veal Parmesan, is truly impressive. The bar area offers a welcoming atmosphere, and the attentive staff makes dining here a pleasure. If you're in the mood for delicious Italian cuisine, Primola is an excellent choice."

"WOW! We stumbled across this GEM of a restaurant in Upper East side Manhattan. From the moment we entered we were treated like family. It was a great experiene over all..the staff was warm & welcoming, the food was delicious. Burrata, gnocchi & desserts were exceptional. I would highly recommend this ITALIAN restaurant. I look forward to revisiting soon! Puno Hvala."

"Always good. Authentic Italian fare. Order off the menu or request a unique dish just as you like it. Their chef will spoil you even with special requests. They deliver spectacular food every time we visit. Service is second to NONE."

"Top notch Italian, welcoming staff, and longtime establishment that consistently brings 5 star food and service to Manhattan. The owner is a true gem. If you haven’t been, you must! Highly recommend :)"
