    Grapefruit and orange crush. All crush and a squeeze of juice! Yum.
    Kris P.

    Primo was recommended by locals and is the neighborhood spot. Packed on a weekday, its stand-alone venue and parking lot access and availability is a bonus. As mentioned by others, the drinks come stiff, so bring your thirst! I enjoyed their version of oysters Rockefeller. It came out piping hot and delicious. These morsels came plump! My dinner was delicious but need to mention it was delivered not so hot. The potatoes were luke warm, the crab cake was too, and the steak was at a different temperature. Not exactly what I expect coming right out of the kitchen. Prior to dinner, you're served fresh sourdough bread and a very tasty dipping oil! Be easy on those! Seconds can easily fill you. I hope to return when in the area. I loved the local friendly vibe, and Cat w a s phenomenal host. I recommend, indeed!

    cheesesteak with provolone and onions. Decent

    Do you have friends who live far away? We do. Jeremy's friend from high school moved to Florida ages ago, got married, had a kid, and we kept on expanding our love for them all. We went to visit them several times, in Florida and when they came back to visit family in Maryland. And then they moved (back) to Pasadena. And we rejoiced. Jeremy and I went to unload the moving truck... well, Jeremy went to do the heavy lifting. I went for moral support and to catch up/gossip with the ladies. Now, everyone should know the proper etiquette when friends help you move is to pay them with money, pizza and beer, or both. Our friends decided on both, which was amazing of them. We decided to order from Primo, which was relatively nearby. Their extensive menu made the process of ordering difficult because EVERYTHING sounded delicious. Truthfully, I don't know exactly everything that was ordered, but I do know that there were many moans of delight and eyes rolling into the back of heads when the flavors hit the tongue. Our one previous Florida resident shouted, "I love Maryland!" as she ate a slice of the Figaro (Prosciutto di Parma, walnuts, and gorgonzola crumbles baked with fig compote then topped with baby arugula and a drizzle of balsamic glaze) pizza. I admit, this was the weirdest pizza I have ever tried, but after reading about it on the menu, we HAD to try it. I mean, when was the last time YOU had WALNUTS on a pizza? And it works. It's a taste sensation. We also tried the Hawaiian (Crispy prosciutto di Parma, diced pineapple, mozzarella, and provolone with your choice of white or red sauce) pizza with white sauce. Our five-year-old diner seemed to like it, telling me that he liked pineapple, and offered me one from his slice. I didn't try this one, but it did look delicious. But, personally, I like jalapenos on my Hawaiian pizza, and I wasn't going to demand that when I was so intrigued by the fig pizza. There was also a pepperoni pizza, which Jeremy LOVED. He's a Primo fan just on the strength of this pizza. Each pizza came with a little container of butter garlic sauce and shredded parmesan. I had buffalo wings, which were great, but let me just say the BLEU CHEESE dipping dressing is FANTASTIC!! Huge pieces of bleu cheese, suggesting this didn't come out of a bottle. WOW. The Fettucini Alfredo (Egg-noodle fettucini tossed in creamy garlic Parmesan alfredo sauce) was met with enthusiasm from someone who is trying not to eat a lot of acidic foods. But the Filet Mignon (Tender hand-cut CAB filet marinated in olive oil, garlic, and rosemary then seared and broiled to temperature) was a huge hit. Pretty much everyone had a taste because it was too good to hog. Such a delight demands to be shared. Jeremy also had a cheesesteak - cheese (provolone) and onions. He enjoyed it but said that the execution could use some work. The roll was good, but he wanted cheese whiz because we're spoiled from so many excursions to Philly. He finished the sandwich, so that goes to tell you that it was fairly decent in spite of his high standards. We wanted to try the cannoli nachos, but unfortunately the restaurant's dessert fridge was broken. I'm not giving up though, cuz doesn't that sound like the best thing ever? It was an incredible meal with incredible people. A celebration of life with some of the best food possible. Would absolutely recommend.

    Seafood pasta dish

    I ate here a few years ago and couldn't get the pear salad out of my head and for good reason. That bite of cheese and pear is delicious! The seafood pasta dish is delicious. The cream sauce is well done and not as heavy as I thought it would be. The pasta is really good with all of the elements. The service was impeccable and the space is cute.

    Penne Vodka with shrimp
    Taylor H.

    Friday night, I ended up grabbing takeout from Primo. Seems like a pretty popular place and was very lively on a Friday night. The penne vodka with shrimp was GREAT! Loved the penne vodka sauce and the shrimp was cooked to perfection. I just wish that for the price, they would've included more shrimp. The dish came with about 6 shrimp.

    Delicious mom and pop style Italian restaurant. The owner and staff were extremely friendly and appreciative of every single party that was there to dine with them. Considering how busy the place was it is definitely a local favorite. To begin they have oil and herbs with a vinaigrette to dip the soft ciabatta bread into. Yum! I had the Penne Primavera. The pasta was al dente and the creamy vodka rosé sauce was the perfect consistency to stick to the pasta. The veggies added the perfect contrast of flavors to the meal.

    Bruschette appetizer
    Tara R.

    My chef, I mean husband, was away this weekend so I was left to fend for myself! Fortunately, Primo is right around the corner from me. I totally ordered dinner two nights in a row! I have had Primo a few times in the past and loved it. On Saturday I ordered the Pork Chop Milanese which came with mashed potatoes and asparagus. This is definitely one of the best dishes in my opinion. The pork chop is lightly breaded and the sauce on it is amazing! I could eat this meal everyday. I also tried the Brushette Roma appetizer. I will be honest here....I ate alllll of it! The tomatoes were extremely fresh and the whole appetizer was delicious. I assumed it wouldn't keep too well in the fridge (that was my excuse for eating it all in one sitting;) The following night I got the chicken parm, another one of my favorites. I typically order it with a side of pasta but decided to change it up and get the roasted potatoes and asparagus. The chicken was so good and it comes with three pieces of chicken. Both nights I called in my order and picked it up in the restaurant. The ordering process was super easy and the employees were always welcoming and friendly. The orders were both accurate and come with delicious fresh baked bread with oil and balsamic mix. I definitely recommend Primo for lunch or dinner!

    I am so excited to have found an Italian restaurant with good wine, pasta, and dessert! Primo exceeded my expectations. The service for a first timer is unbeatable with a free cannoli for dessert! On a Wednesday night the bar was full and 80% of the tables were full. We were still seated immediately with choices. I will definitely be returning to try more items on their menu!

    Ordered delivery through DoorDash and everything was great. The garlic knots are so delicious! Nice and buttery! Penne Vodka was tasty.

    Good food, great bar. Sauce on my veal was a bit "off" but partners pizza was good. Readily provided to-go boxes for leftovers.

I was hoping to park on the street to run in but ended up driving around for 10+ minutes before ending up in the lot. Turns out my parking was free so it worked out just fine. For the food, I got the cheese pizza with prosciutto and the mango habanero wings. The pizza was fantastic, and I really liked that you can order a half portion which was great for 2 people. The crust was crispy, and the cheese and sauce were great, and it was packed with prosciutto. The wings were also great, I loved the sauce and the sesame seeds on some of them which was a fun twist.

    Ive been to this establishment several times in the past…read more Due to the previous experience being good I decided to dine here. Parking anywhere downtown especially the inner harbor on the street is very limited; and the parking garages are insane at times. I found parking and made way to this establishment at the Power Plant. There was a Flippino festival going on at Power Plant as well. When we entered the establishment, we were immediately seated. Seating is only at high tops or the bar. We started off with a couple drinks, old bay wings and cheesesteak sliders. The drinks were ok, not 5 star rating. The cheesesteak sliders were okay as well. We ordered Old bay fries which came out great. After digesting the wings, sliders and fries we ordered the Peppers and Onions pizza with added spinach. The pizza came out very light. Ive had this pizza previously and it was toasted and not doughy. There was very little cheese. The pizza disappointed. So after all, I was very disappointed with the choice of this establishment today. Absolutely nothing but the friendly attentive staff was a plus. The staff were beyond attentive. It could be a bad day but definitely not good since I havent been here in about 3 plus years. The prices has increased tremendously as well. I wouldnt say not to go but based on today, I would be skeptical to return again for myself in the future.

    Bubba's 33 -- Ask for the Bar, Not the Dining Room…read more I was here about three months ago and left a solid review. That visit (bar side) was great. This time I sat in the dining room... completely different experience. Order & food: * I asked for tater tots and got fries instead. It took so long just to get a soda that I didn't bother sending them back. * Fries: over-salted and generic -- nothing special. * Tater tots: still the move here. Don't skip them. * Jalapeño burger (with the jalapeño popper puck + added cheese): flavor idea is good, but the build was sloppy. * Shredded lettuce/tomato made it messy * Nobody asked temp -- it came out overdone Service & seating: * Sat at a handicapped table, which felt awkward. * Service in the dining room was slow and inconsistent: long wait for drinks, minimal check-ins, no follow-up. * The vibe felt off -- even basic interactions felt different than what I've had at the bar. I didn't wait around for dessert or anything -- paid the tab, tipped what matched the service, and left. Bottom line: This place isn't one experience -- it's two. Bar side: consistent, attentive, worth it. Dining room: slow, sloppy, and not on the same level. There are other spots doing burger deals going in the Rotation now!

Pizza and burgers are some of my go-tos, and they even have spiral cheese sticks for some odd reason that I find hilarious to order every time. Staff have been nothing but welcoming every time I'm here. Heck, they even made sure I got discounts for my next visit on my very first meal! It's a bit far out in terms of meals for me, but any time I'm in the area Bubba's is on my list.
