We each had a drink and with summer sangria as a drink special with white sangria twist which was delicious. Complimentary olives provided and an offer for more bread to not waste the delicious and unique spread of whipped ricotta, honey, rosemary and red pepper flakes, so yummy! Somewhat small menu but each item has a unique twist and is high quality. It is a small restaurant inside so it was loud when the servers opened the door to check on us. It was peaceful outside. Definitely a place to check out again. They have an extensive wine list with knowledgeable bar staff.

The restaurant is very nice inside and the menu is divine. Here's what I tried: Scallops ($42) New England jumbo scallops, sun-dried tomato-infused cashmere cream risotto, candied cherry tomatoes, goat cheese crème Burrata Caprese Salad ($20) with the Fresh Local Catch added ($MKT) Pistachio dusted cream-filled burrata, marinated cherry tomatoes, basil pesto, charred artichokes, za'atar herbs, pickled beets, Peruvian sweet peppers, arugula, herb infused EVOO, toasted artisan bread Everything really exceeded my expectations.

The outside seating is my favorite especially during dinner, they have beautiful market lights in their garden. The service is always stellar and super friendly staff.

The five stars are well deserved!…read more Everything we ate at this casual eatery was perfect. The crab cake was meaty and flavorful, the blackened salmon and burrata salad was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the lemon mascarpone parfait was equally tasty and well-balanced.

Our server was fantastic - I can't remember his name but he was younger with dark hair. The lady who brought out food was also great. The service is 10/10. Started off with the French onion soup and for an appetizer we got the baked feta cheese. I got the shrimp and grits as my main entree, my husband got the fish special of the day and the dessert was a peanut pie.

Great wine selection…read more I usually pass on the bread before dinner, but the homemade pesto with olive oil was hard to resist. I sat at the bar since I was alone and enjoyed chatting with my friendly server. She recommended lasagna (a house fav) made with crepes instead of pasta. It was fabulous, and I can't wait to make it myself at home. I would most definitely come back here. The food is cooked to order, and the ambiance is welcoming and cozy.

Definitely a keeper. Really small and cute decor. Love the ceilings, so be sure to look up…read more Started with fresh baked bread, hot with olive oil to dip. Next was meatball app which was delicious, but could have been warmer. Jess had tomato bisque that she loved and I had Caesar salad with anchovies. Good quality but the dressing had no taste. Main courses were awesome. I had chicken parm and it was great. Super hot and crispy! Jess had their signature dish, the crepe lasagna. It was full of meat and cheese, yet very light. Definitely a must try dinner and must stop spot!

Some restaurants serve great food -- others create a sense of place. Prima Pizza Cucina does both…read moreeffortlessly. Nestled right into the charm of Canal Street, this small, quaint pizza tavern feels like a natural extension of New Smyrna Beach itself: inviting, authentic, and quietly confident in what it delivers. The garlic knots are non-negotiable. Perfectly crunchy on the outside with a soft, pillowy center, they hit the table with an immediate wave of buttery garlic aroma that tells you you're in the right place. One bite confirms it -- bold flavor, ideal texture, and executed with precision. Easily among the best garlic knots you'll find anywhere. Prima separates itself through craftsmanship. Homemade hot honey, house-pickled onions, and carefully selected toppings show a kitchen that cares about the details. Nothing feels mass-produced; every component tastes intentional. I've long been a fan of their pizza, but after trying the Sicilian, there's a new leader in the clubhouse. Thick yet remarkably airy, with a beautiful structure and deep flavor, it balances comfort and sophistication in a way that keeps you reaching for "just one more" slice. Equally memorable is the staff -- outstanding across the board. Attentive without hovering, friendly without being scripted, and genuinely knowledgeable about the menu. The kind of team that elevates the entire experience and makes you want to return. Prima Pizza Cucina isn't chasing trends; it's quietly perfecting the fundamentals while adding thoughtful, creative touches. In a town known for local character, this is exactly the type of place that defines a dining scene.

I visited this place in November. WOW.... I am so glad this kind of pizza is now available in NSB…read more This place is like a Brooklyn joint. We had 3 different pies: Pizza Mary, Mushroom Fontina and the Prima. WE. LOVED. (not like, LOVED). ALL. THREE. Can't wait to go back. Why 4 stars? The place is small, wait was long. We tried to go 2 times before we actually got in and didn't have to wait that long (it was a 30 min wait)

Slicing the muscle that connects the oyster to the shell is critical. He didn't get the memo. The calamari was pretty good. As were the poke tacos and fries and Long Island iced teas. Why did I have to request utensils? But let's talk about what hits you when you first arrive. The smell. Or maybe stench is more appropriate. It is so off putting. Is it sewer, rotting food? I know it's not just the waterfront location. Something isn't right. I had hoped I wouldn't notice it once we sat down at the outside bar, but it came in waves when the breeze came up. Ugh.
