Review Summary

Primo & Secondo delivers true Italian authenticity from start to finish, with every dish showing care, high-quality ingredients, and bold flavor. Appetizers and the ravioli are repeatedly praised for flavor and melt-in-mouth texture, the mushroom risotto is described as among the best, and pasta with ragù earns high marks for balance and presentation. Service is consistently attentive and warm without being overbearing, keeping the dining experience smooth even during busy evenings or larger groups. The ambiance is refined yet inviting, with a seasonal menu, an excellent wine selection, and simple, elegant presentations that showcase the ingredients. Although prices are noted as elevated, the overall quality and authenticity lead guests to feel it is well worth the visit and many express plans to return.

From start to finish, this restaurant delivered true, authentic Italian perfection. We tried all the appetizers (yes, all of them 😅) & not a single one disappointed-each dish was bursting with flavor & clearly made with care & high-quality ingredients.

The ravioli deserves a special mention: it literally melted in your mouth. Perfectly cooked, rich, & comforting in the way only real Italian food can be.

On top of the amazing food, the service was flawless-attentive, warm, & never overbearing. Huge shout-out to Manon for setting everything up!

If you're looking for an authentic Italian meal with exceptional service, this place is a must. We'll definitely be back 🍝🍷👏

Excellent. One of the best Italian restaurants (if not the best) that I've been to. Small local & authentic place. Staff was excellent. Gluten free options. Highly recommended!
