Primo Ristorante

Primo! Ristorante is one of the most popular and reputable Italian restaurants in the Sarasota / Bradenton area. We have been a landmark for over 25 years. We are located 1 mile north of the Ringling Museum across the Sarasota/Manatee border on US 41 (Tamiami Trail).

We have the first “wood burning” pizza oven in the area and we serve authentic Neapolitan Pizza, prime veal cuts, fresh seafood, homemade pasta, risotto and handmade desserts and much more.

Chef-Owner, Maurizio Colucci, an Italian native brings to your table his long experience of working in the European food tradition of Grand Hotels and restaurants in Venice, Rome, Milan, Switzerland, France and Germany. Maurizio looks over every detail of Primo!

One of the best kept secrets is our Martini bar with and extended wine list.

Join us for the best value early bird special (50% off special entrées) and the 14 @14 bottle wines.

Primo! is the place for a romantic dinner and the first date to impress! We have very casual family atmosphere where we can easily make happy the most challenged mother in law! We have a great staff and they love working at Primo! They will do everything possible to make your visit an enjoyable one.
