Primi V&a Waterfront

Very nice restaurant which because it is on the first floor was much quieter than the ones below. Sadly it was so quiet it lacked atmosphere. But the food was great and the service was 👍

We went for dinner on a Monday evening. It was a huge place with lots of tables so we could walk in and get a seat. The staff were friendly and efficient in taking our orders. In terms of authenticity, I wouldn’t say it is like a real Italian restaurant, but more like the dishes have been adapted to South african taste. We had the Recco classico pasta (with chicken) and the salmon trout, both were good. Portions were huge.

I like Primi because it has a variety of options to choose from. Their food is of high quality and super tasty. The deco is very modern and cozy, makes you feel warm inside. The waiters are all very friendly and welcoming. Their service is very fast and efficient. From the time we arrived at the door we were welcomed with smiles, we were asked were we would like to sit and taken to the outdoor sitting as per my preference. The view was great. The table we sat on was dirty so I had to ask the waiter to clean it. Not sure what the waiters name was because he didn't introduce himself and I didn't see his name tag. The service was quick and the restaurant wasn't busy while we were there. I was a bit disappointed with the amount of linguine I got since I asked for the upside. I was expecting more. Despite the small portion the pasta itself was al dente, the vegetables were still crunchy (which I like), the whole meal was flavorful. My only concern was the amount of oil left on my plate once I was done eating. The pizza had way too much coriander, I mean I love coriander but there was way too much, it wasn't a coriander pizza. We ordered the Moroccan chicken pizza which was very delicious. The chocolate brownie milkshake had bits of brownies in it and it wasn't too sweet. It had just the right amount of chocolate, brownies and milkshake. Primi is a children friendly restaurant and a good place to enjoy a meal with family and friends. On the day I was there they had a problem with the POS system and clients were asked to use Snap Scan to make payments. Later there was a problem with Snap Scan as well and we had to go withdraw money from the ATM to make cash payments for our meal. I think the problem was with Standard bank though because the Standard bank ATMs were out of order when I went to withdraw.

Everything was to perfection ❣️ staff is friendly and always checking up on customers. Wine is so divine🍷, the food was everything 👌

We went for a light snack. Sat outside on the deck because the weather was awesome and it was just after sunset. Atmosphere was great. Place wasn't crowded. Our waiter was charming and made sure we got our food promptly. And the food....well it tasted even better than it looks...
