    A very pleasant and enjoyable evening that we have come to expect at Primavista! Food was great as always. I was told that the filet mignon was particularly good last night. Our server, Deborah, was helpful in dealing with my wife's Celiac requiring gluten-free restrictions. Overall, a great job as usual. Thanks for remaining in the Incline District. (The only downside currently is some minor construction outside the front of the building.)

    Great food and wonderful service in the most romantic setting in Cincinnati! Goat cheese bruschetta and bread pudding are the perfect beginning and ending to a great meal😋.

    Prima Vista is a favorite. Great food at reasonable prices with fabulous views and excellent service. Don’t let the unimpressive neighborhood put you off.

    We had a table for 6 two weeks in a row. We eat good food at home; we eat evan better food at Primavista. We love being spoiled by the entire staff. We will get two salads out of my filet tonight. John should try a similar salad on the Wednesday menu. Call it the "Ruth and Joe Special."

    This was our second night in a row! Tonight we had theater tickets and one of our favorite pre-show meals is a glass of wine, the house salad, and individual pizzas. A quick, delicious, satisfying meal before the play! Again, our server, Anthony, was top-notch!

    We had an excellent dining experience at Prima Vista! My husband raved about the grouper special and I enjoyed my usual veal marsala. Our Server, Anthony, was wonderful as always!

    Delicious Italian food with a beautiful view of the city. Our server was incredible. It was mg birthday and they even brought out a pistachio ice cream that was divine. The kitchen made my daughter her own chicken pasta. I had the shrimp gnocchi. 10/10- highly recommend
