Trying to order a sweet almost impossible we’ve paid and left twice now waiting far too long to be given a sweet menu. A bit of a shame really perhaps more staff, or better management ? Staff rushing around and not noticing a table full of empty plates for almost half an hour and having to ask someone to clear the table is not really good.

  Amazing staff, fabulous food and a great wine selection fabulous. We have been here a few time and everything is always tasty and fresh. Super!

We both had the bruschetta to start, then I had the chicken with leeks and pancetta in a cream sauce and my husband had the chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce, I chose the vegetables as my side (carrots, peas, beans, cauliflower and broccoli) while my husband had the sauté potatoes.

  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.

  After our visit to Fountains Abbey we booked to eat at Prima, really good choice. The food and service where excellent, food cooked to perfection. Really worth a visit.

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.

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

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. They where all mouth watering to look at and even better to taste, generous portions too. Main courses where even better the lobster ravioli looked great, some had the beef Wellington and omg it looked and smelt amazing and all who ate it loved it and couldn't compliment it enough. 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!

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.
