We arrived yesterday at Cafe Prima Pasta during Happy Hour unbeknownst to us and were happy about it because our drinks and dinner were at great prices! We loved the the decor which was very Italian and very inviting but still casual enough. We went there early because we were hoping to get a parking spot that was reasonably close by. We have tried several times to eat here but we could never find a parking spot. But we learned that they have valet parking for $15. Now we know and will be back soon because our experience here was fabulous.
Our main server was Ricardo, who was a total delight! He knows the menu backwards and forwards. He treated us like royalty and had great menu recommendations. We started out with a glass of Malbec for me and Pinot Grigio TAVO for my daughter. Both wines were good and perfect for our food selections. Ricardo brought us a basket of crusty homemade Italian bread, which was freshly and yummy. I picked the Chicken Parmesan with Penne Noodles. It came with a tasty marinara sauce and I added a goblet of Alfredo sauce also. My daughter chose the Fiocchi Rapera, which was a cheese and pear stuffed pasta, with crispy prosciutto and creamy truffle sauce. It was rich and pleasing. We did a little sharing and both dishes were amazing! For dessert, we shared their very delicious Tiramisu and the Chocolate Mousse pie. We also appreciated Macarena, who assisted Ricardo with bringing us our water and dessert. She was so nice and fun to talk to. Both servers made our evening even more pleasant there. We loved the atmosphere.
We enjoyed celebrating our birthday week at this wonderful restaurant. PERFETTO! We will be back soon. read more
