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.

Nous avons celebré un anniversaire ce soir. Quel magnifique soirée! Excellent service, de l'entrée au dessert tout était succulent. Nous avons adoré les artichauts frits, ravioli au truffe, spritz au limoncello, ….
Goût rafiné, délicat & sublime!
Une magnifique première expérience à ce restaurant, nous y retournerons assurément.

Fantastique.

Les plats qui sortent de la cuisine sont divins autant par leurs présentations que par leurs goûts.

Service exceptionnellement chaleureux de Jean-François & de toute l'équipe (Roberto, Manon). Bel accueil. L'ardoise qui change au gré des saisons. Les nappes blanches. L'excellente sélection de vin. Le rythme de service est juste parfait.

Le prix est bien sûr en proportion de la qualité de l'expérience. Même avec un seul plat de chaque section partagé pour deux & trois verres de vin, la facture est de 250$ (taxes & pourboires inclus) donc budget en conséquence!
