About

Primo & Secondo delivers a focused exploration of Italian culinary traditions paired with a specialized emphasis on expertly prepared raw meat preparations. The menu centers on classic pasta techniques that prioritize ingredient integrity while balancing the delicate complexity of hand-chopped tartare offerings. Each dish reflects a commitment to structural simplicity and authentic flavor profiles. Patrons encounter an environment defined by a minimalist aesthetic that draws attention directly to the interplay of texture and freshness within the plates. The seasoning approach relies on high-quality oils and acidity to lift the richness of the premium proteins used in every tartare assembly. This establishment maintains a rigid standard for raw preparation that underscores a dedication to precision and technical proficiency in modern Mediterranean culinary execution.

I need to give hats off to this restaurant. We came for our work Christmas party last week. Not only were we 13 people but there was also 2 other Christmas party work groups at the restaurant & it was packed! Although everyone's service started at the same time, we had amazing service with zero delays. The food was outstanding as usual with large portions. Can't recommend this restaurant enough!

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. 🍷🇮🇹

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!
