   Steak was over seasoned and I expected better for 52 dollars. Not much of a bourbon selection either. Overall not as good as advertised. Will most likely not going back.

   Poor customer service and burnt food. Charcol burnt. It was awful Servers can’t provide high end service. They wait the tables like you’re at a skyline or a Steak ‘n Shake. Servers are slow. Unprofessional and the manager is even worse.

   I went to Primo for the first time for my anniversary dinner. It was a weekday, so it's was not very crowded. The service was great from the bar tender, front of the house, and waitress. The did was good and the presentation was very nice.

   Atmosphere was elegant but not snobby. Service was prompt but not intrusive. Steak was prepared correctly & delicious, as were the shrimp. Calamari was the best we've had in years. Well worth the price.

   My steak was way under cooked. I ordered a NY Strip- Med- it arrived medium rare- almost rare. They took it back it most of steak arrived medium but a big piece was still medium rare. It was very tasty tho. I just took the larger piece home to recook to medium. The bread was delicious. My husband ordered a burger, fries & Mac n cheese which was very tasty. They did take a bit too long for my refill of Coke. Overall it was a good experience and I would consider returning but it was a little pricey for a restaurant in Middletown

   If there was a title on this it would be "Almost". The food selection was wonderful but the food itself was almost there. The variety of dessert offerings were wonderful but the desserts themselves were just ok. I had the New England Clam Chowder and the Chop Chop Salad. The chowder was more broth than stuff and little seafood - it was obviously Manhattan Clam Chowder. The server said it had lobster, grouper and another fish. I never found any lobster. They had chopped the romaine for the salad but it was in 1"x3" pieces - you can't pick those up with a fork and you can't spear them. It was difficult to eat. And there was little dressing on them so I had to ask for more. My husband said the lasagna was so so. Our party of four ordered all desserts. Dessert was four hard cannolis, tiramisu that tasted bitter and not sweet, cheesecake that was served in a cup with the consistency of custard, and cherry panacotta. I just expected more.

   Found this gem of a place when visiting Cincinnati. The calamari was the best we ever had. The steaks were cooked perfectly! Also the bread was so soft it melted in your mouth! The limoncello martini was delicious. We were too full for dessert. The staff was very attentive. Wish we lived closer, we would be regulars!

    Only writing this so owners might see it and maybe have the cook staff take the salt down a few notches. Other than that, it’s a great restaurant with good food and staff. My steak and fries were extremely salty and my family says I’m a salt feen so…
