“ Made it back to Prima Pasta one year after my first experience and loved it again! Delicious espresso martinis! We loved the skirt steak + and the pasta vongole too! ”
“ Great old school NY feel in miami. Great bar with a real martini and excellent service in a real restaurant environment. Love it! ”
“ Very very very very best Pretty nice service! Pretty nice taste! And the environment is so good And the pasta is so creamy ”
“ Words can't begin to describe how I feel about Prima Pasta. This place is truly a vibe, and every employee complements the atmosphere perfectly, always wearing a smile. Prima Pasta has officially become my go-to Italian spot in Miami. The bar area is fantastic (which I always prefer), and the specials are always delicious. Must-haves: Carpaccio - Best in town! Simple and to the point, with shredded cheese on top that perfectly complements the dish. I could have this and Martinis all night long. Calamari - Crispy, flavorful, and served in a generous portion. Unfortunately, I can only order it when I go with a group. Pear Pasta - I was initially skeptical, since I'm not a fan of pear, but wow--this dish is absolutely amazing. Skirt Steak - Juicy, tender, and full of flavor. Aioli Pasta - The best I've had in all of Miami. Eggplant Parm - Hearty, filling, and full of flavor. Tiramisu- Orgasmic Chicken Parm is a great choice for chicken lovers Lobster ravioli is a much better choice than crab--it's so soft, rich, and full of flavor. And let's not forget the bread selection--warm, soft, and downright addicting. Their wine sauces can sometimes be a little watered down (not my go-to, but still tasty). The Prima Martini takes home the Best Martini award in my book--load me up! The Old Fashioned is done to perfection: smooth, crisp, and balanced. Also, shoutout to Henry--he's an absolute vibe behind the bar and really enhances the experience at Prima Pasta. I do wish they'd bring back the ribeye, though. I used to order it with their aioli linguini pasta all the time (but I get it--it's not a steakhouse). ”
“ Wow. Returned after 3 years away from prima pasta and still the exact same OUTSTANDING food. Meatballs as an app - 100/10. Red sauce and ricotta are out of this world. For entrees, non-negotiable is fiocci rapera (pear ravioli). I've never had anything like it and it's easily top 10 foods I've EVER eaten. Veal parm is also notably delicious and hits the spot. Service is phenomenal. We said it our was our anniversary when we booked our appointment -- and to our surprise they remembered and brought us complimentary meringues to celebrate. I'm a die hard prima pasta fan and will adamantly support this business as best I can!!! ”
“ We ordered takeout one night because the kids were tired. Hubby and I walked over. The order was ready when we got there. Food: Gise salad: just what I needed after so many days of fried food! Yummy! Linguini vongole: kids and hubby gobbled this down. Lasagna: this was good. Osso fettuccine: hubby enjoyed this but I thought it was a bit salty. $102 for those 4 dishes. ”
“ Oh Henry! 25 years of the best cosmo in town! Last night's dinner was like the first time, Amazing! If you are looking for great ambiance, consistent food and amazing cocktails, Cafe Prima Pasta is the place for you. We love the calamari, penne vodka and the seafood pasta. Gus was fantastic! ”
“ Had Thanksgiving dinner here Food was great ( traditional dinner done very well ) Service was excellent Ambiance , always on point ! Love this place ! ”
“ Went to Cafe Prima Pasta for the first time. I understand now why they are so popular after being in business for 30 years. The restaurant is a lot bigger than expected. They offer valet parking for $15 or you can try to look for street parking which $1.35 per hour and free after 6pm. They have a "power menu" until 6pm which offers discounted prices and has several items that are on their regular menu. Since we went for early dinner, we were able to select items from both menus. At the end of the night I realized that I didn't take pictures of our entrees. I was so excited to try the food that I forgot. But I can tell you that everyone enjoyed their meal - we ordered: Penne Vodka with shrimp, Fiocchi Rapera, Agnolotti Rosso,Black linguini seafood, Arturo Steak. Everything was delicious! Service was also great, our server Ricardo was friendly and very attentive along with the rest of the staff. I will definitely be going back - great experience. Posting the only pictures I took. ”
“ This find was amazing! I'm always on the hunt for good Italian food and this place did not disappoint! The Fiocchi Rapera is a must try! It blew my friend & I's mind. We've never had anything like it! The pear gave it such a nice & sweet touch. The service was amazing. My friend & I were helped the second we stepped into the restaurant & they were pretty busy but got us seated pretty quickly. We told them it was our first time there, and they gave us complimentary Bellinis! Ambiance was so cute! A very intimate vibe. ”
