Woke up and got an early breakfast here this morning. Wasn't too busy so service was quick. I had their eggs Benedict, it was super yummy with a creamy hollandaise sauce and the portion size was big enough. Their breakfast options are not badly priced and they offer just enough options.

This Primi has been around for many years and is somewhat empty but they’ve certainly upped there game when it comes to service and food quality - so hope to see more support for them!
I recommend a vegetarian or Californian pizza as well as my favorite, the chicken capagnola - chicken breasts with linguine in creamy white wine sauce PLUS roast vegetables! Simply delish !

I recommend that you sit up stairs on a sunny day. The view is absolutely beautiful. My waiter was very friendly and actually he recommended that I sit upstairs. I had the Urban Run breakfast with perfectly fried bacon.

I paired it with Apple Berry ice tea which was a bit on the weak side. Would definitely come here after a hike on Lion's Head for some breakfast.

You might think that a large franchise like Primi Piatti would be...well...ordinary. And maybe it once was, but Primi Piatti Sea Point is an extraordinary place. Truly. We (my wife and 19 month old) have been going to Primi quite a lot lately because it has a great and large space for children to run around - and for anyone with a toddler can attest to that being much more important than food, atmosphere or pretty much anything else.

Well...first of all, the staff there are incredible. I don't know where they find these amazing, friendly, smiling, helpful, charming and energetic waitrons. But they deserve every tip that comes their way. Every time we visit, we have a wonderful, magical encounter and our young boy loves going there.

Then, one Sunday morning, looking for a place to have breakfast, and it was raining, so almost reluctantly we set off for Primi. 'Breakfast at Primi!'. Well, we were surprised again! Not only was the breakfast menu large and diverse, but both our meals were exceptional. Taste. Value. Wow - what a combination.

I cannot speak for any other demographic, but if you have a young child - get to Primi fast. You won't be disappointed.

Super nice people, food was tasty and fresh but the best thing about Primi Sea Point is the fact that they are super great with kids! They made a mini bed for my little niece to nap on, had nice options for her on the menu and they have a play area. Something you don't find everywhere in Cape Town.

happy with service, coffee,  tasty desert, wide variety of drinks and useful  balcony for  those warm evenings.  Looking forward to trying more on the menu,  definitely recommended, will be back.

Needing a refreshing drink, I popped in to Primi and had a Lone Survivor cocktail. Cheekily served with a wedge of pineapple, it contained rum, Malibu, orange juice, crushed pineapple and coconut milk. Absolutely delicious and just what I wanted. Ok so I also had a bowl of fries....
The restaurant is enormous. Sit upstairs, downstairs or on the upper balcony. The staff are friendly; the ambience is vibey and the restaurant is spotlessly clean. Next time I'm going to chill on the leather couches and people watch.

Perfect place to go with children. They can make their own pizza and there's a huge play area with childminders. Perfect place for us to have a good time. The menu is very divers but I often end up eating pasta. The staff is fun and friendly.

Lovely place, lovely setup. I've been here before but this time I got to appreciate it a little more because it was during the day. great cocktails, pina colada is an absolute must. Great view from the balcony, and the pesto on the burgers is where the money is at. 👌🏽

What i love about this Primi is the upstairs play area. Its huge and the kids can run wild. Service is attentive too. We had the Pasta Campagnola and the chicken broccoli pasta -both were delicious but slightly on the oily side. Good kiddies menu too. Lovely spot for families.

I was going there for a quick bite. The service was awesome and the atmosphere was okay. I ordered the Salmone linguine and it was not bad. It wasn't too spicy and the creaminess was just right. Overall it was too bad

Super pleasant afternoon. I've been coming here since they've opened and i've never had a bad overall experience and for me that's very important.

Primi has an extremely diverse menu and they cook everything well therefore catering for anyone. This branch is in a very big premises and is perfect for a lunch with friends or family, dinner too.

The major downside would definitely be the fact that parking is scarce, but otherwise I have no qualms here.

Always good food and they have free wifi which is a bonus, the atmosphere is nice and have been there a few times but have never had a complaint about the food. Except that breakfast special seemed to get smaller and smaller

It never ceases to amaze me how useless some companies are at Social Media..especially in South Africa.

Here's an idea..if you're a resto on Twitter, RT within 15mins (MAX-I do it in 3mins!), greet your Guests online when they talk about you, acknowledge their pics and videos. Do NOT, for example, say "Tweets answered 9am-5pm weekdays" etc etc..it just makes you look foolish and, sadly, unprofessional.

Despite ZERO, and, folks, I do mean, ZERO online interaction even though I overheard Mngr Thami calling their SocMed person asking about retweets(!), I cannot but recommend this space enough.

GM Thami remembered me BY NAME..not too remarkable in and of itself, but this was from 2012! No..really.

AND he remembered my fave order (which I had TOTES forgotten)..and that I like Soup Bowl Cappuccinos. #speechless 😨🌴😁

The space is very funkily set up...like all Primis, I guess...with a vay cool outside balcony smoking section (best place to sit!). The service was perfectly friendly, fast, efficient, attentive and non-obsequious.
Thami himself came over repeatedly to check if I'm OK...and this was a Friday night, remember.

The food was simply perfection. That Chicken Liver pasta with the cream and the peppers and the sherry and the Napolitana sauce...whoaaaa!!! 😁🌴👍🌍💜

Sadly, WiFi was DEF not the "fibre optic" super fabulous version as promised on @primiworld Twitter timeline, but this was a minor inconvenience on this particular night.

Special mention must be made about the coffee..I don't know WHAT blend or roast they use (and frankly, I really don't care...coffee snobs annoy me intensely); suffice to say it was thoroughly, lip-smackingly, undeniably exquisite. No, really. No...I mean, really, REALLY good! 😝👍🐙🌎

And R75 for a pasta I couldn't even finish, with the most inventive and delicate flavours, in the heart of pretentious Sea Point Restaurant Row, is great value.

All in all, I HAVE to say Primi Sea Point is a DEF @jamescapetown FAVE! 👍🌎🐙💜🌍🌴😁

As any Primi a pleasure to go there. The waiters and management look after the customers really well. A wide menu with great quality food. Had a amazing California pizza and my friend had the Bolognese that convinced me to try it the next time I go.

Great place to have a casual breakkie (R24 for 2 eggs, strips of bacon rashers, tomato and toast) while the kids are playing in the jumping castle. Great place so that kids can be entertained while you parents get to talk uninterrupted. Service is good although they seem to have more guests than staff. So sometimes you need to follow up on your order. Cool to be indoors on a rainy day. They have heaters indoors.

Fan of the jam jar?... Then PLEASE try the Red Bull jam jar! Sooooo good! Always ordered the strawberry one before and that was good too. Now our waiter recommends we try the litchi flavor.. Next time!! I don't know his name but we always get the same waiter he's really awesome! Many thanks to you dude!

Always deliver great service and speedy delivery. More of a takeout place for me as the actual restaurant can be quite loud on a busy night, but can't fault the quality and presentation of the food. Definitely my favorite branch in Cape Town.

Reliable. Is it the best food in the world? No. Will you eat and be full? Yes. Delivery is very prompt. Pargi Pizza is amazing! Have had a wide variety of dishes from this restaurant that have all been acceptable. Nice patio to sit outside and enjoy the cool summer breeze. =)

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Let's start with the decor and atmosphere. The restaurant is beautiful, with soft lighting undertones and good music in the background❤️ Comprised of two floors, the upper floor has pretty good view of the ocean with an outside seating area. When we went it was cold so we stayed indoors, which was great because it was really warm in there🙈❤️ The staff were very welcoming and there's a play area for those who have children🤗 because kiddies matter too🤗 Now down to the real business: the food🙌🏽 alright first off, I really appreciate that the cocktails have non alcoholic versions for those of us who do not drink❤️ it was nice to have options other than juice. The food is amazing🙌🏽 had the livers and the ribs and both dishes were absolutely perfect, flavourful, wholesome and the portions were just enough to not be overwhelming but satisfying ❤️ as a self proclaimed foodie, I was impressed l. My significant other had the burger and the brownie for dessert and it was quite probably one of the best brownies we've ever had🙌🏽 (which says something because man has a brownie at every restaurant). The burger was something too🙌🏽 Price wise, good food costs money🤷🏾‍♀️ you honestly get what you paid for but to be honest, I found the prices quite reasonable for what we were getting. It costs what it costs to go to an excellent restaurant❤️no

This cosy place is situated on sea point main road overlooking the ocean but obscurred a bit buy competing buildings. The establishment serves dishes mostly that of pasta, salad, pizza and other Italian style options. The staff are polite and one has an option to sit at lower level, upstairs or balcony overlooking the vibrant sea point. No reservation is needed but can get busy when events happen within and around green point and seapoint. Overall nice experience and delicious food.

As always, an enjoyable meal. The service was good and food arrived quickly. The tables and decor could do with an update but as long standing Primi fans, the food is the main reason we go there.
