About this restaurant

  • Great for fine wines
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
We are honored that Primo has been designated a Recommended Restaurant in the inaugural Florida 2022 MICHELIN Guide. Led by award-winning chef Melissa Kelly, our restaurant serves authentic Italian cuisine, featuring organic produce and a carefully crafted wine list.

The menu focuses on the farm-to-table experience with seasonal highlights including produce, honey and eggs sourced from on-premises Primo Garden and Whisper Creek Farm in addition to Mick's Farm and Frog Song Organics in the local community. All seafood is also locally sourced from Florida waters, including clams from Cedar Key, white shrimp and squid from Cape Canaveral, and Snapper, grouper, and other seasonal catch from Ponce Inlet. Mountain Trail Farm in Clermont, FL provides Primo with whole pigs, which are prepared several different ways. Primo also has a long-standing relationship with Lake Meadows Naturals in Ocoee, FL for chicken and ducks.

    We both enjoyed our dinners, however the menu is not expansive. Would have liked to have seen more choices. Cocktails are expensive for their size.

    Didn’t seem very busy but food took over 1.5 hours to come out. Steak chimichurri didn’t have any flavor.

    Had dinner here while staying in the area and wow—everything was spot on. The food was delicious (seriously, every bite), the service was super friendly, and the vibe of the place was just really nice and relaxing. Yeah, it’s a bit pricey, but honestly? Totally worth it for the quality. You can tell they put care into everything. Would definitely go back—highly recommend if you’re in the mood for great Italian!

    Fabulous dinner. Bread service is wonderful. Delicious focaccia with olive oil and aged balsamic. First course was the octopus. Tender and flavorful. I had the bolognese and my husband had the lobster cacio Pepe. Both were perfect. House made pasta with flavorful sauces. It was a birthday celebration and we were served a dessert plate with cannolis, warm chocolate cake and ricotta with fruit. Perfect ending to a delicious meal. Wine list is a little pricey, but we had a Tuscan that was delicious. Service was professional and pleasant. Excellent dinner.
