Very tiny seating area + bar at this spot in Hilton Biscayne bay. Food and drinks are expensive and quantity/taste is just ok. The bartender was not very friendly even though I ordered and waited for a $25 cocktail! read more

The restaurant has a nice, casual feel and is good for a relaxed meal. The food is decent, with pasta and pizza that taste fine but are not very special. Portions are okay for the price. Service is friendly, but sometimes a bit slow when it's busy. Overall, it's a good place for simple Italian food if you're not expecting anything fancy. read more

Came in after a rainy day at the museum and it was a great experience with our friendly and knowledgeable waiter! He gave really yummy recommendations. Plus there was no strict dress code. Drink: the No-Name (gin, lime juice, Prosecco) which was so refreshing and perfect- not too sweet or tart. Appetizers: all beef meatballs with marinara sauce & garlic bread. Pro tip: dip the garlic bread into the marinara sauce for warm, delicious hugs with each bite. Literally melted in your mouth! Entree: half chicken & vegetables. Chicken was very moist and flavorful. I thought it wasn't going to fill me up but I was pleasantly surprised with how stuffed I was afterwards. The vegetables weren't anything special though. Dessert: tiramisu. Probably the best tiramisu I've had in a long time! Huge portion, I wish I could've taken it home with me read more

We were greeted with a smile and quick service! It's a charming little place with authentic Italian dishes and wine! We started with the Michelangelo Chianti wine which was great! I had the half roasted chicken with vegetables and roasted fingerling potatoes and my husband had the salmon . Both were cooked perfectly and very tasty . My husband never eats all his vegetables but he ate every bite . read more

Pizza here was delicious. Tried the veggie one. The sauce and cheese were fresh with plenty of toppings. Pizza is shareable for 2 people.

Location was perfect, pricing was good, staff was great, and the food was delicious. I love the fact of being able to get a simple, healthy, and delicious meal. The rotisserie chicken was perfect and I'll definitely be back. Don't miss this treat. read more

Food is not good. Especially at the price point. Ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese yesterday. The sauce was bland and pasta overcooked. The service was ok. Ambiance was quaint and quiet with dim lighting, occasional distraction of the servers (locals) loudly talking out in the dining area. This type of distraction could have been avoided if they would have done this behind the kitchen door and away from the diners trying to enjoy their meals in peace. Today I gave them a second chance and ordered takeout thespaghetti and meatball. I figured "that's a dish you can't mess up". I was wrong. I couldn't finish it. Meatballs were soggy and fall apart. And the sauce, again bland, maybe even more so compared to yesterday. Thankfully I didn't have to pay for it since the hotel comps it. But I do not recommend this place to anyone paying out of pocket. read more

For a restaurant located inside a DoubleTree hotel, the food wasn't that bad. The pasta was al dente, although not all the pasta was boiled the same. I entered from the hotel lobby, but you can also access the restaurant from the mall. The restroom is just to the left side of the bar. There is only one toilet. The inside of this restaurant is very small and dark. They have some bar seating. The tables outside are more spacious. I got the rigatoni bolognese for lunch. It was mid. Can't say I will be back. read more

This restaurant is on the first level of the Double Tree. We were staying here for a work event during Art Basel, so you can imagine that the whole area was busy. I had the wedge salad with salmon. It hit the spot. The dressing was tasty and surprisingly I woke up thinking of how much I enjoyed it. We sat outside were it was not as loud. Inside the restaurant it was a bit louder than what we were looking for. The outdoor seating sits along the valet parking area, however when seated you don't even notice the valet taking place. I tried aperol spritz. Aston can see in the photo, it was way to orange and tasted like cough medicine. Joshua our waiter took it back immediately. Joshua was efficient. Everyone at the table enjoyed their food. The two that ordered the lasagna really enjoyed it. One person had been here before and came back specifically for the lasagna. Enjoy! read more

Came here last night. I have to say I LOVED my plate. I ordered the 'Homemade Gnocchi' with Bolognese sauce. It was delicious. The only downside was when I got there, I was seated at a table where I could only sit across from the person I was with. I asked if we could move tables as the dining seating area was completely empty, there were only people at the bar. The hostess refused. When we sat next to each other, then we were offered another table in the corner. The booth seat was sunken so it was uncomfortable, but I didn't say anything because the person I was with didn't. A light was flickering overhead for over an hour until the lights were dimmed, which I loved. Overall though, that didn't affect the experience, I just felt it was a lack of awareness. The waitress was attentive and I liked the ambiance. It was cozy, but still not casual. read more

Service is horrible. And the food taste like plastic!! They took 45 min for my food to go!!!

Loved my experience here! The warm bread to start was great. The server was knowledgeable and attentive. I ordered the special, which was a chicken parm with prosciutto on top and wow! The amount of freshly shaved prosciutto on top of the chicken was huge! I loved it, and it was affordable. Will be back. read more

My friend and I enjoyed our meals. I had the lasagna and she had the rigatoni bolognese. The chocolate lava cake was yummy too. We came for ladies night and didn't know we would only receive those specials at the bar. The manager said " that's our rule, I'm just following the rule". That's bad customer service, in my opinion. We are in your establishment spending money. You lost sales by losing our drink order. That's a silly rule. We won't be back. read more

Amazing restaurant. Everything was fresh and amazing. The entire team treated us like family. The meatballs are truly amazing and it brought me back to my grandmothers kitchen years ago.

Primos is not just one of those places where you can't go wrong; it's a place where everything is just right. The quality of Italian cuisine here is exceptional, and the attention to detail in every dish is a true reflection of the care and passion behind it. Chef Hugo is an undisputed master of his craft.! Chris is a world-class bartender, and Marta, originally from Spain, has a special talent for making you feel right at home.

Stopped by Primos today and I was pleasantly surprised by the food! The place inside looks really nice however we sit outside since we were in gym clothes. Our server brought us the menu right away and on the weekends they have available the Brunch menu and the Dinner menu. We were starving so decided to order from the dinner menu. Our server brought bread and it was delicious! For our entrees, we ordered the Lasagna which was really compact and the bolognese sauce was incredible. Also, we ordered the Fettuccini Alfredo and I haven't had a really good Alfredo sauce in a long time. It wasn't only cream but it had a seasoning base that added more flavor to the dish. Both dishes were a really good sizes! read more

Excellent Duck Pappadelle! The bread was wonderful and wine recommendation just right. My Husband had the Brinson Market fish with a caper butter sauce, with a side of roasted vegetables and it was really good too! Highly recommend this restaurant and the Creme Bruilee! Only gave 4 stars as we were seated at a table in the middle of the walkway and right in front of the outside door and the server never refilled our water glasses from the club soda bottle we ordered. But food was definitely 5 stars. read more

So let me just say that the food is good. However, the service leaves A LOT to be desired. So I went to the restaurant for lunch upon my arrival as soon as they opened. Sat at the bar. Bartender was not very friendly at all but my vegetable lasagna was really good. Seasoned perfectly and even though the $20 price point was a bit much for veggie lasagna I enjoyed it. Decided I would grab a salad to bring back to my room for dinner. Stood at the front of the restaurant for awhile as servers walked past me, no hostess and finally a waitress came and asked me how she could help me. I explained I wanted to do an order to go and she grumbled she would be back and came back in a few minutes and took my order. I ordered the spinach and pear salad with salmon no tomatoes. She told me it would be "max 15 minutes". After 15 mins I went back to the podium. Watched as the person who had just took an order to the residence portion of the hotel walked right past me into the restaurant. The original waitress who helped me would not look at me. Finally a NICE hostess came to the podium asked me what I had and said she would check on it as the waitress who was first helping me stood off to the side and watched me. I waited probably another 5 mins at the podium and the waitress who took my order brought me my food. I get back to my room the salad was SUPPOSED to have bacon and red onion per the menu. None of that was in the salad. The piece of salmon was about a 2.5 to 3 oz portion and it still had the skin on it. The aperol spritz was good and the salad what was there was fresh and good. Yet for the price there should have been more. The service and lack of attention leave lots to be desired and I won't be visiting again while I am in town. And it's too bad because I really like the food. read more

My stay in the attached condo building provided me with the excellent opportunity to indulge in the various culinary wonders that the building had to offer. Yet, time and again, I found myself irresistibly drawn to Primo's, as if beckoned by some unseen food-loving sprite at least twice a week. What is it that made Primo's so alluring? Well, a harmonious blend of exceptional service and memorable dining experience, to begin with. I tried at least half of the dishes on the dinner and brunch menus, and was thoroughly impressed by the delightful flavors and freshness. The staff here seemed to have perfected the craft of warm hospitality, with each member offering sincere smiles and welcoming words. A special shoutout to Marcela, the effervescent hostess, whose cheerful greeting became a beloved routine of my restaurant visits, even on the occasions when I wasn't planning to dine. However, the jewel in Primo's crown has to be Bri, their unparalleled bartender. This vibrant, magnetic personality can turn any dreary day into a bright Miami afternoon with her charisma. I first met her after an exhausting day, and her cheery conversation, infectious humor, and array of silly faces lifted my spirits in a way I hadn't expected. Bri doesn't merely serve drinks - she creates a vibrant symphony of flavors with each cocktail, and her recommendations from the food menu never fail to impress. It didn't take long to realize that her radiant presence was a magnet for others too, turning the bar into a lively social hub where everyone felt welcomed and entertained. At Primo's, kindness is not just an act but a way of life. You'll find this pervasive benevolence in everyone on the team, an undeniably infectious trait that brightens the atmosphere as much as their meticulously maintained clean spaces. They uphold the highest standards of cleanliness, ensuring each table is thoroughly sanitized after use, creating a comforting environment for all patrons. Primo's is a microcosm of the warmth and joie de vivre that Miami embodies, brilliantly exemplified by individuals like Bri and Marcela. They infuse an element of magic into the dining experience that far surpasses the norms of a regular restaurant visit. To the team at Primo's - thank you for your amazing service and for making the start of my time in Miami unforgettable. I will definitely be back soon! read more

The service here is excellent as is the food as long as you stick with the Italian staples. The pastas, the pizzas, and ooooh the yummy meatballs. The wood fired pizza crust is delicious I'm just sad mine was undercooked because the outside that was well done was amazing. The Parma with arugula. Yum. They could use a better wine list and the place is LOUD. But honestly it's in sort of a mall so we were all completely surprised by the quality of the food and service considering the location. Don't let the entrance fool you. It looks like an airport restaurant at first, but when you walk inside past the bar it's much better! Don't pass it by based on the entrance! read more

Oh God, absolutely terrible. I live in the area and was just hoping this would be at the minimum decent enough to come for lunch time while in my lunch break from work because one can only take so much Pura Vida and Pinocchio's. Ew. The fettuccine Alfredo was way overpriced and absolutely mediocre, it didn't even taste like Alfredo. The sauce was both gunky and liquid, a slight cream/brown color, the taste was off, and it honestly reminded me of the Knorr pasta mixes you buy at Publix for when you're in a pinch and need something cheap and quick. And I added shrimp. My lunch total? $40 for a mediocre plate of pasta. Nope. Hard pass. read more

Delicious with huge portions but a little pricey. Showed up on Friday night with a party of nine and they were quickly able to accommodate. The food was delicious, from the pizza to the calamari to pasta and sandwiches. No one had any complaints. I will definitely be back. read more

Classy Italian restaurant downstairs in the Grand DoubleTree to the right as you enter the lobby area. Beautifully decorated, intimate and warm ambiance. I had a glass of Malbec wine, Caesar salad - that's easily split for two, and the Prosciutto and Arugula Pizza which was delicious! (Also enough for two.) Unless you live or stay in the grand DoubleTree parking can be difficult or pricey. But a very nice dining experience and I'll be sure to be back to try more! read more

The food was delicious and the presentation was pleasant. We had Risotto and Ribeye steak. The wine list had nice and reasonable selections. The service was top tier without being intrusive on your meal. Service was rather quick. The hostess was pleasant. The atmosphere is nice for a place that is located within a large condominium and hotel building. The other guest seemed to be enjoying their meals and companions and it was not too loud. For locals, the location is easy to find and offers valet parking that is convenient so you don't have trouble arriving and having to seek parking. This is a place worth checking out of you are in the area and want to enjoy a hassle free meal. I will consider a return visit and feel comfortable inviting friends. read more

Love and highly recommend Primos! It's the Authentic Italian for me. Homemade pasta, none of that starchy tastes. The sauce does a backflip in my mouth it was so good. The hospitality there feels like im family. Aubrey the bartender is so tentative and sweet, and makes the best tasting drinks. The prices for our family of 4 was affordable for such a great experience. Will definitely be there again!! read more

Nice Italian place in the hotel. A bit over-priced for the quality of food. Had the meatball app and was delicious. I had the chicken piccata and although the flavor was good - I felt the chicken was pounded so thin it was as flat as the pizza. Dish came w a potato and an vegetable, but when I asked to substitute for parm risotto (and eliminate both sides) there was still an $8 upcharge. No children's menu which was a bummer - had to order an entire $17 pizza since their wasn't much else for kids. Tiny place - probably better suited for someone looking for a drink and an app at the bar. read more
