We had a very pleasant lunch here while using up an afternoon before flying back home. Service was fast and friendly. The meals we ordered was Gnocchi and Lasagne while we shared a Breads with Balsamic. It was delicious. That, plus two soft drinks was $52.50 More

We were staying in the city for the long weekend. We werent over hungry and felt like a salad. We always look for a good Caesar, but can never seem to find one. Well look no further. This salad was amazing. Just enough dressing, bacon, croutons and lettuce. I also had fried Calamari that tasted like they had just caught... More

First impressions almost turned us away as the girl who served us was a little rude but when we were seated the service was really good and the food was above par. A little pricey but well worth it. More

If you are looking for a kid friendly place give it a go. They welcome family groups, our kids played out on the boulevard while they waited for their meals (which they loved) and young Harrison and his Uncle Raj took good care of us. My steak was nice and I enjoyed the scallops and prawns that were served with... More

We have eaten at Il Primo Posto several times and thought that it would be a good place for our daughter to celebrate her 21st on New years Eve. We had a wonderful time and Raj and his staff were terrific. Our guests had nothing but praise for the delicious meal that was served to us and we couldn't fault... More

We were here on a Saturday night,a group of 8 people. We were welcomed and seated promptly and our order was taken. Meals arrive fairly quickly and were standard Italian fare. Food was hot and well-cooked but nothing outstanding.The wine list was adequate and had a good number of wines by the glass. The waiting staff seemed to be going... More

The food was good, but really could be alot better. The service was quick and this place was busy. I would come back here but only for a quick meal. I liked the outdoor eating area- great atmosphere. More

Along with our 10yr old daughter we thought the menu would be good for us all and at 6 30 in the evening thought a quiet-ish time for a meal. Once taken to our table we waited & waited & waited. Eventually our order was taken. Within less than 5 minutes the breads arrived. Before a bite of bread/dip had... More

I had eaten here a couple of years back, and it was OK, so I booked a party to come here. The food arrived quite quickly but was not very nice -. for example my dish seemed to have a large helping of tomato puree from a tube in it, and the salad was drowned in dressing. I couldn't actually... More
