    Hostesses were not pleasant and not accommodating at all when we got there early and did not show any effort in trying to find us a table. Not exactly what I call customer service. With that being said, we have been there 3 times within the last 2 months because of the lively atmosphere, great Italian food and amazing cocktails and bar staff.

    Second time at Prima and as amazing as the first time. Tried the arancini, amatriciana pasta, ribeye and marshals mushrooms and they were all delicious. As for desserts, ordered the torta gialla again and is still our favorite and amazing
