Of all the Italian restaurants in Cincinnati---and there are many---this one stands out for its cuisine as much as its killer view. The restaurant, established in 1989, also is gaining the following of a younger crowd for its… Read Full Editorial
My Review by johnd2061116467 via Citysearch on 2/23/2015
I love the efficiency of the service crew in here, there are so many things that I want to call out from this place, almost all of them are above standard.
Primavista by AndyofMayberry via Citysearch on 10/11/2010
I have been here a couple times. I have found the food to be excellent and the view fantastic. It is a great place for a romantic evening with your loved one.
Treat your loved one to a nice night out on the town at Primavista.
Primavista is great view, great food. by Krista C via Insider Pages on 8/30/2009
It's true, this really is an incredible view of the city, not to be missed. Take friends here from out of town, or savour it as a treat for an anniversary night. My husband recommends the '05 Australian Shiraz, Wyndham estate, as a good…
amazing view, excellent food, perfect service by thebrats via Citysearch on 5/24/2009
My husband and I happened upon Primavista a few years ago and have been a few times now on special occasions. The atmosphere and view are extremely romantic. The service was perfect. Our waitress timed our appetizer, salads, entrees and…
Sloppy Pushy Service, Innattentive Table Staff, WRONG ORDERS! Cooked WRONG! by M2HB via Citysearch on 1/1/2009
Went for an exciting News Years Eve, Late seating at 9:45. The Menu was limited to ten entrees due to the capacity crowd in and out all night long; no problem, they have many wonderful entrees on the menu. I'm a long time customer and know…
The Best View of the City by Tim Z via Insider Pages on 3/30/2008
This is the best view of the city, not to mention the fine dining. The food is out standing and the service exceptional. You will be stunned by the view of the Vista of the city!!!!Tim
Excellent Atmosphere and Consistently Good Food by mdpfirrman via Citysearch on 6/1/2007
I don't usually spend a lot of money on Italian. If I do, it had better be good. Primavista is a treat we as a family of four give ourselves occasionally. I also have taken my wife there for anniversaries as well but my teenage kids…
Very Romantic Great Food by britniosu via Citysearch on 4/18/2006
I was very pleased with the restaurant and the overall atmosphere. I went for an anniversary and loved the romantic environment. Even in December the view from the restaurant was amazing and even from the tables towards the rear, which are…
A sunset view and dim lights create a romantic ambience at this Italian favorite. by Contributor via Citysearch on 11/19/2004
The Scene
Plan your reservation at sunset, when Primavista offers one of the best dining views in Cincinnati. In daylight, the view includes industrial areas, and the restaurant's dated decor is obvious. When darkness falls,…
good view for the west side by midwestskidude via Citysearch on 12/19/2002
the food was quite good and the view was good. the atmosphere was like eating in an old communist bloc nation.
The Best View In Cincinnati by jwc3476 via Citysearch on 10/28/2002
This would be the best restaurant that I have ever ate at before. The service was wonderful. Somebody was there as soon as I needed them and I wasnt rushed out the door. The food was great also. Most definetly a five star restaurant.
More than meatballs by cgr via Citysearch on 10/10/2002
The menu is Italian far beyond the basics. The view is one of the best in the city. If Eastsiders can find their way to this side of the "Sauerkraut Curtain" (Vine Street), they will be comforted to know the windows face East. The food…
