I took my wife to Primizie for her birthday the other night. She had been wanting to try it out since hearing recommendations from coworkers. So we go and get seated right away which is great anymore on a Wednesday night. The waitress was very helpful at first. She let us taste a couple of wines before purchasing full glasses and was very patient with us while we made our decisions from the appetizer menu. \r
We ordered the fried shrimp and calamari. The shrimp were flavorful while tepid. The calamari were bordering on the inedible and COLD. If we had wanted rubber bands I think we would have been better served going to Office Max. Bread came with the plate and it was very salty, which I didn't think bread really should be. Oh and did I mention that everything on the plate was overly SALTY? Well, it was.\r
We ordered our entrees. Whomever earlier in these reviews said that the gnocci was the best they'd ever had either had really good gnocci or didn't know what they were talking about because all we could taste of our gnocci was SALTY. Do they not have any other seasonings in Italy besides salt?\r
Back to the waitress. When we told her that the dinner was really not very good the response from her could be equated to the sound of crickets on a quiet summer night. In other words, no response. And nothing taken from our bill, either. \r
If you like taking chances on quality of product and service this is your place. Good luck, suckers. This is one place that is off our list.
Pros: It's really modern and pretty. Wine selection was good.
Cons: Everything else.
