Went for their Gluten Free Monday, and it was excellent! The GF Cannoli, Arancini, garlic bread, Bolognese were all so delicious. Highly recommend their special GF nights.

Gluten free Monday is fabulous. So nice not to have to ask about every single thing you want to order. The focaccia bread and arancinis are amazing.

I have never left a review before but I had to leave one here after my experience last night for dinner. I cannot stress ENOUGH how incredible our experience at Prima was. My partner and I went last night for our first anniversary dinner and from the moment we arrived we were blown away by how beautiful the atmosphere was and the kindness of the staff. When we made the reservation we mentioned it was our anniversary so they took us to this stunning room and served us complementary champagne to celebrate. Ryan, our server, was so thoughtful and helpful the entire time and gave excellent recommendations. I have Celiac and the restaurant was so knowledgeable about it and provided countless gluten free options which tasted out of this world. I got the Filet and it has to be one of the best I ever had, only $55 for 12oz cause they butcher in house. I would definitely recommend the shared Caesar salad with gluten-free croutons, as well as the crispy potatoes on the side to go with your entrée. We both got espresso martinis (One black and one with Bailey) and they are really good! I definitely preferred the black expresso martini but you can’t go wrong with either. Such a romantic setting. Thank you so much, Prima, for the perfect anniversary dinner. We will be coming back for years and years to come!

Everyone needs to check out this place!!

Waitress asked about allergies, explained that almost all dishes are made to order/ can be modified to be gf, and food came out with “ALLERGY” tag. They have gf pasta and I felt very comfortable eating here, but unfortunately got VERY sick shortly after my meal. Food was good, but not worth a gluten reaction. Will not be returning.

We were so looking forward to finally getting to eat here and the food was fantastic. Despite the food coming with a designated allergy pin, I got very sick.

I have gone to Prima twice for gluten free Mondays when everything is supposed to be easily free from cross contamination and unfortunately I've been sick after both visits. Unfortunately I can't pin down one item because we tried to sample a bit of everything. As delicious as the food was it is not worth how sick I was or the potential damage to my body.

The food here is fantastic! No separate GF menu but the wait staff is very knowledgeable about GF and avoiding cross contamination as my server asked about allergies and severity up front. The food came out with an allergy toothpick in it. Also, they now have GF nights on Monday where they make the whole menu GF! I haven’t been yet but can’t wait to check it out.

Awesome for pasta! The staff is very knowledgeable / comfortable with celiac. There isn’t a dedicated menu but the staff knows what’s ok and what’s cross contaminated.
