Eight of us dined here for a recent business dinner. Small place, nice atmosphere, quiet enough for our whole group to share conversation at the table (hard to find these days). We've been to Italy a number of times, and this place felt like Italy. Salads also flavorful. None of us had appetizer or first course pasta. Menu not extensive,... More

I dined here last evening with four other people. The atmosphere is basic Italian decor, with some subtle music in the background. At first we were nervous due to the lack of customers, but are fears were quickly subdued due to the quality of service. We ordered the lobster ravioli, chicken primi, and the chicken piccatta. All meals were absolutely... More

My husband worked for over a year in Northern Italy. Since his return, he has stopped going to Italian Restaurants: they always disappoint him. We tried this based on reviews here and the fact that it promises Northern Italian cuisine. It did not disappoint! The mussels were perfectly cooked, in a delicious lemon/garlic/wine sauce. His crab bisque was out of... More

Primi Piatti is a small restaurant located in an upscale strip mall near downtown Jacksonville. It has an ambience typical of an authentic Italian trattoria.. We had previously "tested" the restaurant by dining there for lunch. It passed our test and now we joined members of our Italian Language and Culture Meetup Group for a Saturday evening dining experience. We... More

Have been there several times...among our favorite restaurants in JAX. Food is very tasty. Reasonably priced. Amazing some of the great places you can find in simple strip malls...and this is one of them. Strongly recommend Primi Piatti.

Had a wonderful meal with my wife and teenage daughters last night. Classic northern Italian cuisine. Mussels appetizer was perfectly prepared. Had rave reviews from the group about the fresh ravioli, carbonarra, parmagianna to name just a few. Sevice was old school and well done. Great place for those who like a small restaurant that serves Northern Italian fare.

Several friends recommended eating here, but I found Primi Piatti a bit disappointing on a recent weekday night. The dinner menu and daily extras provide a nice selection of choices, but the wine list is quite limited. The food is average, at best, as the pasta and sauces are not house made and have little to rave about. That said,... More

We didn't have reservations but we were lucky enough to get in without a wait(6:30). I think if we got there 15 minutes later we would have missed a fabulous meal. As noted in other reviews the location is in an old store front. Very nice, small quiet, small menu but very nice choices and specials. Presentation and service was... More

Went to Primi Piatti for our anniversary dinner. It is quiet enough to have a conversation and the ambience is reminiscent of the neighborhood Italian restaurants of my younger years in Chicago. Our waiter, Sorin was very helpful in selecting a wine. The she crab soup was the best I have ever had. The lobster ravioli is to die for.... More
