We ate here for the first time last night and we were not disappointed. We sat outside on the patio, we were the only diners out there and it was fabulous. My husband had the Mediterranean Sea Bass that was cooked to perfection and had a beautiful flavor. I enjoyed the Primo Ravioli. The roasted beat and goat cheese with the sherry cream sauce was delightful. We both ate everything on our plate. For dessert we had the salted caramel gelato. Everything from our drinks to dessert was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be... read more

Excellent restaurant, fantastic food, and the best staff/manager I've come across! My man and I just had dinner here after a fun filled day at six flags on June 5th! We're from Indiana, and we definitely plan on returning every time we're in Gurnee, which will be often since we have season passes to six flags. Thank you so much Paul Martens for making our night simply amazing and unforgettable! We can't wait to return, and we've been spreading the word that Primo is definitely the place to go!!!��

Prices are to high and ribeye pork chop was a bit dry. It was tender but that's the only good about it.

Had a double surprise seeing both Becky and Marco last night. Enjoyed a perfectly cooked 10oz filet and roasted cauliflower with Gorgonzola and caramelized onions. Dinner was delicious with a perfect glass of wine �. We've always had a pleasant experience here!! That's why we come back.

First timer, had lunch, Primo Wedge salad and Lobster Rockefeller, hubby had Italiano sandwich. Food was great, service was great, liked the atmosphere, will definitely come back to try the dinner menu. One thing I found a bit weird, as you walk in, instead of an appetizing traditional Italian aroma, I got my sinuses filled with a cheap air freshener proudly displayed at the hostess station....?! Please get rid of it! Other than that - great!

The octopus salad is devine. I would come back for dinner in their main dinning room. My first experience was with a large group in the barrel room with the personal touches and cleanliness lacking.

My surprise retirement party from Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital was memorable and grand as provided by PRIMO Staff. The cuisine was excellent and staff were exceptionally attentive to our needs. The party room was very conducive to private functions. The restaurant is very accessible and ample safe parking. My guests were highly impressed and have plans on future bookings. 

Business response:

Congratulations on your retirement! We are so happy that you and your guests enjoyed your surprise party and that we were able to provide a memorable and grand experience for you. We look forward to welcoming you and your guests back again. If you like to listen to music, we suggest that you join us on either a Monday for our Jazz night or on Saturday when we mix up the music a little.
