We had a lovely meal on the front patio, here in downtown Youngstown. Our server was forgetful and distracted, but fortunately we weren’t in a hurry. This tasty food is served in courses on smaller plates with plenty of time for conversation in between. It’s not a good spot for a quick and easy meal–it’s not like American Italian food swimming in red sauce, etc… It’s more complex, more subtle, and it takes some thought to orchestrate the right combination of flavors over courses. I recommend holding on to the menu and ordering one course at a time just to pace yourself. It’s a bit less dramatic than Aqua Pazzo, and quite a bit smaller–almost cozy. I really enjoyed a “Paloma” cocktail with tequila and pink grapefruit, as well as the charcuterie board with delightful and unusual warm olives, and artichokes. I was very impressed with the small plate of Brussels Sprouts, my fave!

We had a very nice time at Prima Cucina. Our server, I think Fredirico, (sorry if the spelling is wrong) was friendly and knowledgeable. And the service was prompt as well.

There’s nothing I can say that will do justice to a restaurant that cares about their food and guests like Prima does. The decor and atmosphere is the perfect balance for a date that you bring home to your parents. Classy and comfortable. The food is to die for. I live in Pittsburgh and the drive out here is more than worth it for food you won’t find in the steel city. The drinks and appetizers, the entrees and recommended wine, literally everything about this place makes you feel at home like your family dinner. I will be back I can’t imagine feeling the same anywhere else.

I love the Italian food in Youngstown. I’m my opinion it is better than Cleveland. Prima Italian kicks it up a notch in the valley. Probably the best grilled octopus I have ever had, and the rest of the courses did not disappoint. Service was also phenomenal. It was like all the workers in the restaurant were PH.D. Students who were smart, polite, and hard working!
