Prima Boston Italian Steakhouse Reviews
Very good
Five of us came for dinner on a Saturday evening with a reservation. We were seated in the back room, a small, cozy area beautifully decorated. I started with a limoncello spritz. My only complaint is that there really wasn’t much alcohol in any
Decor and ambiance are a vibe, definitely date night worthy.
If you can, book a table in the back bar and ask to see the Park Room, both stunning. Service is wonderful. But a restaurant cannot live off of instagram worthy photo opts and good service alone. The food was underwhelming. It was all beautiful but

We visited Prima for brunch this weekend to celebrate a birthday, and while I've always loved this spot in Charlestown, I was really disappointed with the service this time. Our server told us we had to order everything at once because of the w
We had a great experience at Prima.
We were there celebrating our anniversary and we sat in the rose room in the back, very romantic and intimate setting. We had the bread plate with ricotta and meatballs as appetizers which was delicious. The focaccia is so light and fluffy. For dinne

My favorite restaurant in the city !!!! Staff is awesome and the scallop crudo is incredible!!
Great spot and ambience.
And was one of our favorites. Unfortunately we won't be going back after today. We waited for our reservation, were passed off twice after asking. saw others without a reservation get seated before us and watched empty tables go unfilled. Ma
The BACK ROOM is the best spot in the house.
They made it seem like we'd be unhappy about it since we didn't have a reservation. It was the most beautiful spot in the whole place! The front was crowded and so loud. The back was quiet, you could actually talk, hear the music, etc.
Very cute restaurant in Charlestown.
We were visiting Boston and decided to journey over and try this place out. I got a glass of Chardonnay and my boyfriend got an Allagash. Service was attentive and quick. We split the 12 oz filet and it was cooked and seasoned perfectly, could basica
One of the biggest hidden gems in Boston no question.
Delicious food, friendly service, and a beautiful interior and location. Couldn't recommend more!
Stopped in for a nightcap.
Bartender was nice and attentive. The tiramisu espresso martini was good, I enjoyed the mascarpone whipped cream. Unfortunately, the drink is pre-made in a batch so I couldn't substitute for a different liquor (I prefer tequila). Overall, good d
I ordered the chicken parm from Prima using ubereats.
There was very little sauce on the chicken and was very dry. I had to add some good jarred sauce to make it edible. The pasta was sauced but there was only about 3 tablespoons of pasta.
Buena comida italiana en Boston
I visited this Restaurant with some workmates to celebrate a farewell of one of the members of my team. Thursday afternoon 6:30 am was already crowdy so it qas a good idea to make the reservation in advance. Bar and dining room is all together so do

Went for a family birthday dinner. Everyone loves their meals. Food was superb. Beautiful atmosphere and our server was A+. A wonderful experience all around. Looking forward to coming back again
Busy, very popular local Charlestown restaurant.
Prima is a lovely restaurant, with a vibrant atmosphere and friendly service. This was our second visit - the first time I would have rated as a 4 as the food was better. This time it was New Year’s Eve and the place was really busy. Despite that
Beautiful Brunch Time
The decorations, inside and outside were truly beautiful. We did have to wait for a short time, even though we had a reservation. They had a nice variety of food for the brunch seating. I would definitely recommend the French toast. The flavor wa
Excellent vibe, food & price
Had a wonderful evening here: from the charming host taking us to the cozy table, the very warm and pretty interior, excellent waitress and good sommelier to the fantastic food! Probably only Italy itself outdoes this kitchen: good menu, great wine,
A Good Meal
My wife and I ordered our food. we started with the delicious cold Mushroom Carpaccio but then ended up waiting a very long time for our half orders -- Pasta Bolognese and Sweet Potato pasta. Our server brought over Garlic knots and later a free dess
Loving Prima
I'm loving Prima! I have fond memories of this space as it was the site of Todd English's Olives in the 1990's. Prima may be the most exciting restaurant in the city today. When I approached the restaurant I saw Joe, the Maître d&
Gluten Free Heaven
My daughter who has Celiac disease chose Prima in Charlestown because of Gluten Free Monday. Everything on the menu is gluten free except for one entree. I have to say the meals were superb. The focaccia bread was the best my daughter has ever had. I
Forget the north end, this is the best Italian restaurant
Forget the north end, this is the best Italian restaurant in Boston. I absolutely love the staff who treat you like a guest, not a customer. The food is amazing.
Why did you take down a 1 star review ?? Take some
Why did you take down a 1 star review ?? Take some ownership with your performance and staff. Disgusting that you take 10 thousand dollars from a veteran during the year and not allow him back into your restaurant. Be better , next time maybe don't k

Came here for my boyfriend's birthday dinner and we were delightedly seated in the back room where it was much more calm, romantic and private. Front of the house had the bar and was very lively, which would be perfect for a group dinner. Food was

This restaurant is cute and cozy, has great food and friendly servers. The Arancini and the sauce on top was delicious as was the burrata and prosciutto. I wish they gave more bread for it though. I loved the pasta and the brown butter mashed potato
Delicious neighborhood restaurant
So happy this restaurant is in our neighborhood! Delicious every time! Tonight we had the Caesar salad, chicken Parm, and seared tuna. Loved every dish. Perfect summer night in Charlestown!

This place had lot of buzz in instagram.
So we decided to try it for our sons 15th birthday, he loves steak so we got the tomahawk steak. For $160 I would expect one the best steaks we ever had. It was the worst. The steak itself was cooked as asked - rare. However it was sitting on slo

Outstanding Experience!
Stopped by on a busy Tuesday evening - There was a large party inside and given the beautiful weather, outdoor dining was perfect for us. Our server Philippe (sp?) could not have been more professional or friendly. For starter, we had the prosciu

Our family celebrated our daughter's 21st birthday at Prima.
Her new boyfriend attended and ordered the Veal Prime Rib. He said it was fine but didn't eat much of it. We packed it up and when we returned home I tried a bite of it. It was so salty as to make it inedible. I have never in my life eaten somethin

What a beautiful environment and excellent food/service! I highly recommend! A bit pricey but worth every penny and they have an excellent wine menu! Next time I have to leave room for dessert!

I really enjoyed Prima! My husband and i came for brunch this past weekend and split the blueberry breakfast roll. It was pricey, yes--but deliciously decadent and worth it! We also split the scrambled egg carbonara (love me a soft scramble) that cam

Delicious food (steak and pasta dishes) and a fun atmosphere (music). The garlic bread was worth every penny. Great cocktails and wine. Our server was so kind and efficient. Salted honey gelato and torta gialla was the best dessert. Highly recommend
We came here for a birthday celebration mid week.
Reservations were hard to get but due to the snow we were able to sit in the back room, incredibly romantic highly recommend trying to make your reservations in the back of the restaurant for date night and special occasions. Everything we ordered fr

Wonderful for brunch, dinner, date night.
Any occasion. The sage pasta is to die for. Also their arancini and Caesar. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous spot in Charlestown! Popped in for drinks with friends and was blown away. This place is gorgeous! We sat in the rose room in the back of the restaurant-- it's kinda speakeasy vibes back near the kitchen. Espresso martinis were great, staff
Overrated and under seasoned
So overcrowded and chaotic. Food is average basic Italian - overpriced for the quality. Feels more like a Southie bar than a neighborhood restaurant
Best Night in Boston!!
We were staying at Constitution Marina and we asked the gentlemen at Reception for a nearby recommendation for dinner and he told us about Prima, a recently opened Italian restaurant only about a 5 minute walk from the marina that he'd heard great th
Just a glitch, or structural incompetence?
First visit to Prima. I’ve heard great things, and wanted to love this place. Got seats at the bar. Nice cocktail and wine list. Wonderful “garlic bread” , which is more like a pizza. BUT, waited over 90 minutes for two plates or pasta and fina
My new favorite Italian in Boston
Superlative food (on two visits had chicken parm and eggplant parm - both great and the eggplant was amazing, wife had carbonara and another pasta dish and enjoyed both) and service (Maria is awesome!). The outdoor seating is a nice feature too - nic
Terrific
How and team are phenomenal. Came in as the kitchen was closing. Anything I wanted, no questions asked! Food is great. Service is top notch. Go here.

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Prima Boston Italian Steakhouse at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Prima Boston Italian Steakhouse page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Prima Boston Italian Steakhouse to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Prima Boston Italian Steakhouse!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
