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. 🍷🇮🇹
