Excellent repas. Le service était impeccable. Le vin succulent. Le pain & l'huile d'olive vierges parfaits. La salade de fenouil en endives un vrai délice ! Le risotto aux champignons honnêtement le meilleur que j'ai mangé de ma vie. Le dessert aux pistaches était également très gourmand. Chapeau au chef & à toute l'équipe !

Chaque plat est un véritable hommage à la cuisine italienne authentique & raffinée. Les ingrédients sont d'une fraîcheur irréprochable, les textures parfaitement maîtrisées, & les agencements de saveurs absolument sublimes. On sent dans chaque bouchée la passion du chef & le respect du produit.

Le service est attentionné sans être envahissant, & l'ambiance feutrée met parfaitement en valeur cette expérience culinaire haut de gamme, mais empreinte de simplicité & de sincérité.

Un immense bravo à toute l'équipe - c'est un sans-faute du début à la fin. Primo & Secondo demeure sans contredit une des plus belles tables de Montréal. 🍷🇮🇹

We were four guests. We all found the food experience was very uneven & disappointing. The service was excellent, & except for asking the AC to be turned off , since it was a cool evening outside, the atmosphere was fine. The food is another story. Both the salmon tartare, & especially the lamps chops, suffered from lack of taste. Not the overall dish, but the main ingredient could have been anything at all. The lamb chops in a brown sauce, completely got rid of any tase of lamb. We were shocked with what the chef did. Lamb has a distinct taste that shines unless deleted, which was what we found. The sauce was also more of a soup. & at 59$ for three small & unevenly cooked pieces of meat, we were extremely disappointed. The tartare had the same effect, no taste of salmon. So two proteins that are enjoyed for their inherent flavour, were thrown under the bus. The stuffed zucchini flowers were excellent, as were the stuffed figs. The pasta norma was plain & unremarkable.The tomato salad was superb.

We were sad that nothing really lived up to the hype in the introduction to the restaurant. Some things are due to a bad day, but specific decisions - like the smothered & overcooked lamb - tell us that we cannot recommend this restaurant to any of our friends. & we could not see ourselves coming back.
