Cafe Prima Pasta

About this business

Do not be deterred by the crowd milling about on the sidewalk, Cafe Prima Pasta has proven itself well worth the wait time. As the name suggests, the cafe specializes in homemade pasta. Although house made pastas are the main attraction, the expanded menu includes more meat and fish choices. Fresh tomato sauces are superb. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available.

DISAPPOINTENT! – Totally disappointment!! Went there with the family for my birthday. The hostess knew we were celebrating a special occasion but couldn't care less. We tried making a reservation over the phone but were told, no reservations only first come first serve. When we arrive we were told we would be seated in 30 -45 min. So we sat at the bar and waited............ and waited. We started seeing people being seated who had arrived after us. We only needed a table of four, so it wasn't hard to find one. The hostess ke... read more

What Has Happened to Prima Pasta? – Cafe Prima Pasta used to be a great place to go, however the last couple of times have been dreadful. The menu choices seemed to be fewer and what choices we did have were bland, uninteresting and cold. We won't be going back again all we got for our money was bad food and mediocre service.

IItalian At Its Best – I recently dined at my local favorite Cafe Prima Pasta and am always amazed how the food is consistently delicious, a rare occurrence in Miami. I had the vegetable ravioli which were out of this world. This place is definitely worth checking out.

Once is enough – The first time I went to this restaurant will be my last. The photos of the rich and famous covering the walls were impressive. The food was not. The bread brought to us was not fresh. We sent it back and got more of the same. We ordered veal parmesan. The veal portion was generous but tasted very greasy. It came with a very small portion of penne pasta. My date ordered Caesar salad, which did not come with anchovies. The waitress was nice enough to make a special request for them. The salad arrived, practic... read more

Can't Miss! – My girlfriend and I went on V-day (first time there), and although we were 30 minutes late and concerned that we would lose our reservation, the host couldn't have been nicer. He asked us to wait at the bar, and before we could even order drinks, he had a great table available. The waiter came over, and through his authentic Italian accent he told us "his" specials. The four items he recommended were exactly what we had our eyes on. The Exotica salad was much better than described - with fresh grilled shrimp co... read more

Horrible – I heard great things about this restaurant. I was mistaken. I grew up in NY and know great Itallian food. It is not existant at this establishment. First, my date and I sat at the bar waiting for a table for about ten minutes. The wait was not the problem. The wine was the problem. We tried literally five different red wines and they were all very bad. Second, the food was deplorable. We ordered the shrimp and scallops as an appertizer. The scallops were small and tough. My date ordered the lemmon chicken. It tast... read more
