Delicious Food

Food at Primitivo was great - I highy recommed the Nhoque de Banana da Terra. Prices are not cheap, but it’s worth for the quality of the dishes. Pasta was well served for one person. Good wine/veer options.

Friendly, authentic, and unique dishes!

Great experience, really friendly owner Mauro from Italy who speaks English, had a great dish I’ve never tried before: the gnocchi Primitivo with a sauce of mustard, thyme, leeks with mozzarella and Parmesan then baked which was super tasty and unique! We also had a...pizza which was great as well, good crust and tasty homemade sauce. Thanks to the staff!More

Big portions

We skipped starters, had some diet drinks with a bottle of malbec with a pasta and pizza main course, total came to a good value £60GBP. Glad we didn't get starters, the mains were massive. Couldn't finish my pizza. So nearly did, but left 1...slice. Nice location, felt cosy/romantic, would go back.More

Hi Hans ! Primitivo is just a good Restaurant located in Búzios. I think there is no transportation from GIG till there provided. The trip takes about 3 hours (160 km distance).
