I love this place. It has a great, casual atmosphere. It's not stuffy and the service is fantastic. I went there most recently on October 31. My wife had the pasta/seafood special and I had the gnocchi and both were fantastic. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a great restaurant experience in downtown St. Pete. more

I had assumed this was an italian restaurant but was surprised to learn that many of the dishes were an Italian - South African fusion. My husband had a fabulous special that was a spicy chicken curry dish with three sauces and I had Penne Recco which looked like a tradional italian creamy red pasta sauce but had an interesting... more

Great place! I have never eaten anything there that wasn't delicious. The grilled salmon salad is a great light lunch. Their pasta dishes are delicious and they always have good lunch specials. The only downside is the high ceilings in the place make it very loud sometimes and parking is a challenge. more

After seeing some other less then pleasing reviews on other sites we were unsure if we wanted to go and risk a bad meal. I am very happy that we did decide to go and try it out. I checked out their website before we went and saw a nice mix of Italian style food, but not Olive Garden and... more

Primi never disappoints. The food is phenomenal and you won't find better italian in St Pete! If you are looking for a great meal with a great wine selection go to Primi. The portions are huge and you can't beat the price. Irene and Arno (owners) always welcome you as if you were at their home! more

Our first time staying in downtown St. Pete and we wanted something close by. This restaurent was recommended by a local. We walked in and we were welcomed. Only 1 table occupied on Friday night at 6:30pm, that didn't seem like a good sign but the restaurent looked clean and homey. I ordered the Mussels with wine sauce and my... more

The food at primi is fantastic, and original. It's not like many other restaurants where all of the dishes start to taste the same. These people care about the product they are giving you, and want to ensure you are satisfied. They pride themselves on quality and customer service. This is what dining is all about!! Definately my favorite place... more

Well worth the trip to the downtown area. A party of 10 adults were at a band competition at the Tropicana Field and were looking for something close by. We found the best Italian restaurant in Tampa / St. Pete area. It is not a "red sauce and formula Italian" restaurant; instead you will find heaven in their mushroom ravioli... more
