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.

Il est permis d'hésiter en passant la porte car le décor impersonnel pourrait évoquer les trattoria factices où rien n'est mangeable. C'est le contraire ici, avec beaucoup de soin apporté à la confection de plats bien balisés. On se régale, risotto aux cèpes idéal ou côte de veau généreuse. Tout est très bon & le vin fait partie de la fête. Miam

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 !

Nourriture absolument délicieuse! Nous avons pris les figues & les poivrons farcis en entrée, le risotto aux champignons, & des papardelle avec ragu ensuite. Les portions sont parfaites, la présentation simple, mais jolie. Nous avons également beaucoup apprécié le service. Assez cher, mais ça vaut la peine!

This was my go to spot pre Covid. Haven’t been there since unfortunately. Mushroom risotto was on point arguably the best in the city, the clam pasta was decent. Appetizers were all great, zucchini flower, figs. Prices are high but where hasn’t it increased. Service was good but the vibes from the old staff way better, new younger waiter was a bit off imho. Would only repeat if owner/cook is there.

Risotto est trop salé, je ne peux même pas manger une 3è cuillère. J’ai parlé cela à la serveuse mais elle n’a pas donné aucune réponse. Autrement les vins, services & atmosphère sont bons.
