Staff where attentive... read more even brought round free shots on the house! The food, omg it was amazing! A few of the starters where ribs, garlic mushrooms, king prawn gamberoni.

I opted for a salad as I ate too much of my starter as it was delicious, the chef kindly made a customised salad to suit my taste. I would definitely recommend this lovely Italian restaurant and will gladly be returning to try more of the specials and a few cheeky cocktails too. Was a fantastic start to our new years eve thank you!

  A second evening out in Ripon found us at Prima Italian restaurant on Monday.
A warm welcome and excellent service made us relax and enjoy our visit.
We had booked... read more an early table (6pm), so took advantage of the Early Bird menu. There was a good choice of both starters and main courses.

  Lovely restaurant - Centrally located great food great staff. Reasonably priced. Great choice of food on menu plus there is a specials board

  My girlfriend and I had another wonderful experience at Prima last Friday evening.

We booked very late but were welcomed for an early evening sitting. The restaurant was... read more already getting busy so we appreciated the welcome. The menu choice is considerable with lots of mouth watering options. Our choices were Branzino grilled sea bass & king prawns and Risotto Gamberoni and the right choices for us. Portion sizes are good but it’s the flavours we experienced that really make this place special.

The atmosphere was warm and lively, we will return. Compliments to the chef and his team.

  Good menu and quality - Excellent food and service. The best dish in my opinion was the asparagus ravioli - it was soooo good. Really enjoyed it and recommend. Thank you.

  Very slow - We waited ages for anyone to take our order. It took quite a while to get the main course. When they came to clear the table we were... read more asked if we wanted the desert menu, we said yes but she forgot to bring them so after another long wait we had to ask again. When we finished our meals my husband went to pay the bill away from the table and our guests. Just as we started to walk out we were called to the till as they had mucked up the table numbers and we were told we had paid the bill for the next table to ours, so in front of our guests we were humiliated as she asked for more money, as ours was dearer than paid. It would have been better if she had come to the table and asked him for a quiet word. We enjoyed the food but the staff needed a bit more training on customer service rather than discussing their false nails. If you have all night to sit around then as the food was good then it is a good restaurant.

  Very nice resturant and conveniently located in a lovely part of the city. We has pizzas and we were a bit disappointed to be honest. The quality of ingredients was... read more not the best. Tomato salad had very hard tomatoes and tasteless. The artichokes were also hard. Olives were pre sliced out of a jar and the ham cubes of preformed slices. If served in Italy it would be frowned upon. All those quality ingredients can be found easily so why not use parma ham ,on vine tomatoes etc. Shame that quality seems not to be so important.
The staff and ambience very good.

  Great early diner menu. This is really good value. The starters were varied and delicious. The main courses were wide ranging and we opted for the pork medallions. The portion... read more sizes were generous and we enjoyed a nice glass of house wine. Service was attentive and we enjoyed our visit.

We had very helpful staff who were prompt, attentive & efficient without rushing us. The food... read more was stunning. We both had steaks that were succulent, juicy and oozed flavours with every bite. I had mine from the Specials Board recommended by the waitress with delicious Tagliatelle beef with truffle. The tastes and textures are making my mouth water now. It was a quite amazing meal. Desserts were both tasty and presented beautifully and gave a refreshing kick to our pallets. I had tiramisu & my partner had a delightful crème brûlée. The whole evening in this buzzing place was a pleasure. The menu options on the Specials board were so enticing we’re going back in a couple of weeks. Thank you chef.
