Cafe Prima Pasta

Frommer's Review

Once a small unknown trattoria on a very trafficky, tacky street, Cafe Prima Pasta has expanded into a place to be for amazing Italian food and quite a bit of fanfare. Because there was always a massive wait that spilled out onto the street, the cafe has expanded to include ample outdoor seating that is set back from the street noise and traffic thanks to some creative landscaping. The pasta here is homemade and the kitchen's choice ingredients include prize worthy ripe, juicy tomatoes, imported olive oil that would cost you a boatload if you bought a bottle in the store, fresh, drippy mozzarella, and fish that tastes as if it had just been caught right out back. The zesty, spicy garlic and oil that is brought out as dip for the bread is something you may want to keep with you during the course of your meal as it doubles as extra seasoning for your food, not that it's necessary. Though tables are packed in a bit, the atmosphere still manages to be romantic. Because of the chef's fancy for garlic, this is a three Altoid restaurant, so be prepared to pop a few or request that they go light on the stuff.
