Magnifique

The Primadonna restaurant has great foods with prices that aren't high at all. The service is tremendous. It is a top of the line Italian restaurant.

did not get it

A friend recommended the place but warned that they're quite slow. Well, that's an understatement.....they were RUTHLESSLY slow. We had decided to place an order for to go, to bypass their slow service- it turns out that tactic did not work after all. It took the restaurant 1 hour and twenty minutes (after placing the call) to cook us two plates of average-sized seafood pasta. But get this: when we got to the place, there were only two couples eating at the whole restaurant (Sunday night, around 8ish)...so, we wondered why they took forever to put together a couple of plates that were just ...okay?? A few more things: seafood portion was okay, not exactly teeming w/ shrimps, scallops but then, it was only $24.95. The sauce was kind of bland, not enough spices and the linguine was a little overcooked.

Finally, our main waitress was apathetic, totally neglectful. While we were waiting for our food, I asked the waitress to give me the menu in case I wanted to order the dessert.. At first, she was pleasant, gave me the menu...to never being seen again until 10 minutes later. I had to flag her down; by this time, she looked annoyed when I asked about the strawberry shortcut, such as how long it would take to get it (like would it have been another 20 minute wait (FORGET THAT!) after getting the pasta- like who knows how the kitchen staff (dys)function in their 'does not make sense' slow-mo fashion??) did I disturbed her, interrupting whatever the heck she was doing? God, the NERVE of her putting on such an attitude- she sure got it at the end when I told my husband to ding her on the service tip. Luckily another (older) waitress, a lady in her 40s, stepped in...helped us out, etc..She was pretty good- maybe if she had helped us earlier, it would have mitigated the mounting, hair-pulling frustration as it was growing by the minute after waiting, waiting, waiting.....

• Pros: a good local grub
• Cons: obnoxioulsy slow- don't arrive too hungry, eating the tablecloth may be too tempting

The food was expensive and very good, but

by jdbritza at Citysearch

On Friday evening the restaurant was nearly empty and it took a long time to get served.

My Master Card showed a bill for $71.28 which should have been $78.40 minus $19.00 for my Entertainment Card discount for a total of $59.40. I left a $10.00 tip on the table and marked that on my bill and my receipt. I called and relayed that information and was told that a 20% gratuity was automatically added on even though I had designated my actual gratuity when I signed the check.

• Pros: Food is very good
• Cons: parking is a problem
