Neighbourhood gem

Bar Primi is a 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 a downtown New York staple, housed on the Bowery for the last ten years. With this second location in Penn District, chef-partner Andrew Carmellini will carry on his same tried and true methods of making fresh pasta traditionally prepared and cooked to order, using a variety of non-GMO semolina and specialty ‘00’ flours, organic eggs and family recipes. Italian wines are offered by the glass and by the bottle. A playful list of signature cocktails, which includes the original Frosé, aperitivi, a robust beer list, amari and coffee by La Colombe are also features.

Our waiter was fantastic. We had an allergy at the table and he went above and beyond to accommodate it. The food was fantastic, a great option before a game/show at MSG.

Enjoyed a great dinner at Bar Primi before catching a show at MSG on 11/21. Pappardelle, Bucatini, Fusilli were all great. Vesuvius scampi also excellent but very spicy so be ready for that. Definitely recommend getting the broccolini and hot knots- so good! Service was exceptional 10/10. Took off one star for unprofessional hostess.

Waitress did not attend our table in a timely manner. Spent a lot of time waiting for them to come over so we can place our orders and ask for additional service. Drinks also took a long time

Declicious! The server had great recommendations and we got our food quickly. We had an early dinner (5:30 PM) and the restaurant was large and open - not crowded at that time. The food was amazing and delicious!

The house salad was fantastic as were two different pasta dishes. Nice atmosphere and very good service. We sat inside but there a great outdoor area with fireplace. Bar Primi is well worth a visit, just a block away from Madison Square Garden.

We absolutely loved the vibe here. The food was excellent, the ambiance was perfect. It's a warm, friendly, buzzing atmosphere with excellent indoor and outdoor options. Photo booth in basement is a nice touch.
