  Fantastic New years eve! - Me and a group of friends reserved a table new years eve at prima! The restaurant was booming, was busy all tables full the atmosphere was great. 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!

  Friday night supper - Staying in ripon, we went out early for a maslmon Friday. Not realising how busy the town is at 6pm! The 1st restaurant was crammed. Luckily this read space,... read more the staff were friendly, efficient and did not stop moving. The service started at 4.30 and they must be moving at full pace the whole evening.

Followed by chicken alla crema with sacred potatoes and green salad and lobster ravioli with bisque sauce and prawns. We struggled to finish the portions are large and the flavours delicious!

  Superb food. New decor not quite so. - As fairly regular diners we were curious to see the new look restaurant. Superb food as always - excellent choices and value. However we felt the lighting was a little... read more too bright and abundance of pink and white artificial flowers rather garish. Sadly it seems to us to have lost some of its cosy Italian ambience.

  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.

  One of the best meals I have had in a very long time, And with the staff so pleasant and efficient, recommend it to anyone

Husband had room for dessert, which was a generous portion of tiramisu and I had a coffee, made exactly as I like it.

  Good food bad service - We’ve been as a family a few times lately, the food is always very good but the service has really gone downhill. Starters and main courses not too bad ... read more but then been utterly neglected as if we don’t exist! Asking for extra drinks a bit of a problem too, been forgotten more than once. 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.

It is always full of lively,... read more busy Italian atmosphere - we just love it. My Lobster ravioli was as gorgeous as I remember it from last time, served with a superb rocket salad. Hubby had a delicious salmon risotto and followed it with a banana concoction that he will long remember! We were entertaining two friends who live locally and also speak highly of the place. Thank you for a lovely evening Prima Team, we will definitely return.

The two course special, which also included a side with the... read more main meal was excellent value and there was a good choice. 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. The service was excellent, wish there was a Prima in every town.

  Average Italian Food - First time there this evening, It was pretty busy which was reassuring, the starters arrived quickly and were nice enough. The mains arrived. Pepperoni Pizza was not very nice, pepperoni... read more just tasted of grease and was hardly cooked, a real let down to be honest (left 3/4 of it). Seafood linguine was pretty tasty, although the squid was like rubber. Management refunded the price of the Pizza after we mentioned the taste. Can’t ask for anymore than that I suppose. Not sure if our mains were a let down due to how busy it was. Based on that I don’t think I’d go back.

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 menu options on the Specials board were so enticing we’re going back in a couple of weeks. Thank you chef.
