Best Italian Food!

August 15, 2026

This was the best Italian meal I’ve had in years! So much flavor. Everything was fresh and delicious! Homemade meatball was good as well as the lasagna. I enjoyed the seasonal pepper and cheese stuffed ravioli with pesto sauce topped with grilled chicken. So much flavor. The house salad was delicious with the quality olives and salami. We ended with their homemade key lime pie! Yum!

No place quite like it

July 28, 2023

There’s just no place quite like it. The atmosphere can’t be beat. The food is always divine. The service is 10/10. We love it here. We occasionally venture elsewhere for our date nights and we usually regret that when we do, because you just can’t measure up to Uncle Primos! Oh, and of course the cream puff is AMAZING!

Large Portions

December 8, 2025

We have eaten here twice and left pleased and very full. What a lovely neighborhood Italian restaurant. Good service and affordable. The food is tasty with large portions. I was impressed with the salad, that was included in the meal. When our party of 4 finished one bowl, we were offered another bowl. The red sauce was tasty. I did make the mistake of ordering the “lasagna platter”. The problem was that there was too much food. The platter included a small portion of lasagna and several raviolis and pasta with red sauce. The lasagna was so good. Next time I’ll order just a plate of lasagna. My wife had eggplant parm that she enjoyed as well. I had veal parm on one visit. It was tasty but a little disappointing since it was a ground veal patty rather than a veal chop. That of course, would have made it much more costly. The restaurant is a fun, busy place with down to earth hardy Italian food.

To die for!

January 1, 2022

Great dinner. The sauted seafood over angel hair was to die for; Salad was delicious; fried mazerella was super creamy with marinara sauce= perfect; the steak had alot of gristle–these days great cuts of meat are hard to come by—the meat part was cooked perfectly and was delicious; baked potato was creamy. The Marlot was the perfect compliment to our meals.The tiramisu was the best we have eaten in ages! The waitress was very attentive!! Minimal waiting time for anything.. Definitely will recommend and will be back.

Our dinner was nothing short of excellent !!

October 12, 2021

The chicken parmesan was so tender and juicy with plenty of sauce and melted cheese on top. My side of broccoli was cooked just the way I like it. Our other dinner was the seafood dish with an abundance of scallops and shrimp. Absolutely delicious !! To end the dinner, we had their homemade cream puff, delicate flavor, light pastry, and melt-in-your-mouth amazing !! Highly recommend Uncle Primo’s, if You are in the area !!
