My dinner at Primizie was wonderful. I can’t give all the credit to the restaurant, however, because the company was fantastic–three women catching up, laughing and joking all night. So the company made everything a little better.
That said, here’s a breakdown of the meal: extremely patient waiter. He must have come back four times before we were ready to order anything! We started off with lemon basil mojitos (them) and an Italian margarita (me), which were great drinks. Strong and tasty. Then we split the seafood appetizer, which featured mussels, fish, and shrimp … it was tasty but too salty for my liking. The foccacia-esque bread they served with it was AMAZING, though.
Delicious foccacia ... oh, and some seafood too.
For dinner, I ordered the lasagna, despite the fact that it was a hundred degrees outside. It was a relatively light affair, simply vegetarian with spinach, tomato sauce, and cheese–but the secret was the pesto sauce dribbled on top and inside. It added the perfect zing and uniqueness to the lasagna. I was barely able to contain myself to only eating half, but I was thrilled when I had leftovers for lunch the following day … it might even have been better the second time around! One friend’s gnocchi dish was awesome, and the other loved her locally-made goat cheese ravioli. So entrees were a hit.
Dessert was a gelato trio, made in the restaurant. It featured blueberry, strawberry, and almond flavors. The blueberry was the best (the creamiest too, according to the foodie friend), though all were fairly tasty. Again, our waiter was attentive but not too much, laughed appropriately at our jokes, and was above all patient. The place was surprisingly empty for a Thursday night at 7:30, so I hope they’re doing okay business because I’m definitely down for a return trip.
