Bar Primi is a corner pasta shop devoted to ‘primi piatti,’ the pasta course. What began as an idea for a small space in New York's East Village has since become an essential in chef and co-owner Andrew Carmellini's range: fresh pasta traditionally prepared and cooked to order. At Bar Primi, the main course is Primi Piatti. We use a variety of non-GMO semolina and specialty ‘00’ flours, organic eggs and handed-down techniques to create our menu of Traditional and Seasonal pasta dishes. We make more than a dozen different shapes and styles daily. This includes lumache and rigatoni from our imported extruder or ravioli and mezzalune cut and filled by hand. Family recipes and secrets are traded between Carmellini and Brooklyn-born chef-partner Salvatore Lamboglia who also offers a daily meat or seafood special in addition to a selection of shareable Piccolini and Antipasti, artisanal cheese, salumi and simple home-style desserts.

Awesome food! The only downside would be that it will be a TIGHT squeeze. New York City is small, so expect to squeeze into a small space! Other than that, the food was amazing! I would recommend coming for the lunch special, Monday-Friday!

My wife and I always travel for Christmas and we love Italian dining. We do our best to find the most authentic, charming places we can. Typically these are going to be the places that seat 50 people and you may not think about going in. We’ve ate at multiple spots in Chicago, Indianapolis, Atlanta, Columbus, Cincinnati, Charleston, Alexandria… this is our new favorite! My goodness is was amazing! The staff was on top of it and soooo friendly. Our waiter, Gabriel was extraordinary! We legit felt like we were in Sicily. If you make one reservation in New York, make it here.

We had a wonderful cozy evening. In fact, it’s the best restaurant experience I’ve had in a long time. From the minute we walked in, we felt well taken care of. Every single staff member was kind and attentive and accommodated a change of table with absolute graciousness. Wine recommendations were excellent. Every single dish we ordered was out of this world. Do not skip dessert. Not a single complaint. Grazie mille!
