• Sicilian • Lower East Side

Booked 10 times today

Bar Primi is a corner pasta shop devoted to ‘primi piatti,’ the pasta course. What began as an idea for a small space in New York's East Village has since become an essential in chef and co-owner Andrew Carmellini's range: fresh pasta traditionally prepared and cooked to order. At Bar Primi, the main course is Primi Piatti. We use a variety of non-GMO semolina and specialty ‘00’ flours, organic eggs and handed-down techniques to create our menu of Traditional and Seasonal pasta dishes. We make more than a dozen different shapes and styles daily. This includes lumache and rigatoni from our imported extruder or ravioli and mezzalune cut and filled by hand. Family recipes and secrets are traded between Carmellini and Brooklyn-born chef-partner Salvatore Lamboglia who also offers a daily meat or seafood special in addition to a selection of shareable Piccolini and Antipasti, artisanal cheese, salumi and simple home-style desserts.

The food was great, I got the Italia with Ragu sauce! The service was great too, they were very attentive and were always ready to assist. the price for what I got was good. it’s a small restaurant, so I definitely recommend making a reservation, but it’s super cute and not too loud.

Second time visiting Piccola Cucina - Spring Street; went back after several years as our first experience was positive. Good all around. I liked the idea of the ‘deconstructed’ tiramisu being prepared at the table but it didn’t quite hit the mark… the Savoiardi biscuits were too crunchy and there was a distinct lack of liqueur. Other than that, the food was good and ambience cheerful without being too noisy or overbearing (it is a very small space).

120% would recommend - service was excellent. Would suggest ordering their signature pasta out of the cheese wheel that’s dished up at the table and the Tiramisu that they make at the table for you too. Great experience. All the food and wine was excellent. We’ll be back.
