Il Primo Northshore

Spectacular

If you want Italian food this is the place to go! I even did their catering and picked up the food for my daughter’s birthday party. Food was a hit in highly recommend if you don’t want to deal with cooking for an event.

We had a lovely time at Primo. We were in town visiting my step daughter. There was quite a wait, but we went across the street for drinks, so it was no biggie. It's a very popular spot, and worth the wait! Three of had the specials. Two had chicken parm and I had the monk fish piccata. My fish was wonderful, thankful for the recommendation from my server (I don't remember his name, but he was awesome). He also recommend that I get the pasta side, but with more of the ver blanc sauce from the fish, instead of the marinara. He was so right! My group enjoyed the chicken parm & the spicy shrimp pasta dish. The bread/dipping oil and caesar salad were also top notch. For dessert we had the tiramisu and blueberry lemon cheesecake. Both were great.

I picked up take-out for a last minute family dinner. It was all scrumptiously delicious! We shared Veal Parm, Risotto with Scallops, Chicken Marsala, Meatballs, along with Lemon Pie and Tiramisu. I enjoyed a drink at the bar while I waited, met some nice people, and couldn't have been happier to see my favorite Tampa Bay Lightning playing on the bar tv. I look forward to going again to enjoy more of their menu!

Always a pleasure, well done on all you do here. The off-menu special. Spaghetti Alla Carbonara is my favorite. (Wednesdays) Do it!

The power went out halfway through cooking, there’s an outage?! What to do.. I’ll Uber Eats Il Primo style :) the 4 cheese penne to the rescue!! It was delicious and the correct temp when it arrived.

Perfection. Mushroom ravioli for vegetarians is amazing.
