Uncle Primo's

The salad and bread were better than before. As well as the red pasta sauce was not quite as well as it was before. Always enjoyed Uncle Primo's to eat. Our waitress could have had a better attitude also. As far as the hostesses they where great getting us in the restaurant. With the food quality I would probably just go eat the salad and the bread.

Lori Burdette is the best waitress! I love this restaurant! Staff and food is amazing. My go to is the chicken parm. But you really can’t go wrong with anything- I’ve never had a bad meal. I personally don’t like seafood or fish- but will eat the fish here. I could live off their salads. Pricing is incredibly reasonable for the quality and atmosphere. I could go to any restaurant where I live in Columbus and none will ever compare to the staff & food at Uncle Primo’s- it’s always a great experience! This is one of the only restaurants I could actually just draw out of a hat of what to order & not be disappointed.

I called in to place a carry out order at around 6pm and was put on hold for around 5 mins. When the person returned, I was informed that they were not taking carry out orders until 7:30. I responded that was fine, I will just call back at 7:30. I call back at around 7:40 after waiting an hour and a half, and was told that they are no longer accepting carry out orders for the night, even after explaining that I was told to call back at 7:30... If I had been informed of this earlier, I could have saved myself the wait and placed an order with my second choice, which unfortunately closed at 7pm. This was extremely aggravating!

I liked the food, but they were out of some of the things I wanted to order. I ordered a salad that should have come with hard boiled eggs, they were out of eggs. I then asked for a side of some sauce that never came. The hush puppies were very good and came with a great sauce. The servers were attentive and kept our drinks full. It was OK, and I'll give them another shot while in town for business.

6 Point Review... 1) Atmosphere/Dress: Casual attire for a surprisingly respectable level of dining. There were people wearing anything from slacks with collared shirts to shorts/t-shirts. There are several different areas to choose from for seating. The main dining area, the enclosed atrium and the outdoor patio. The enclosed atrium was slightly louder in volume than the main dining area but we didn't need to raise our voices while talking, so it was comfortable. 2) Specials: The first thing I noticed upon entering the door was a great sounding meal written in chalk. Gulf Shrimp, Clams and Mussels served in a creamy spinach sauce over fettuccine. I ordered this. They also featured a mango martini and a blackberry sangria. This was a Tuesday evening meal. 3) Appetizers: We had the mozzarella triangles with marinara sauce. However, there were other things that sounded really good such as calamari. Our appetizer even came with a small slice of watermelon as a garnish. It was ripened and sweet I found this to be a pleasant surprise. 4) House Salad/Garlic Bread: This was really a great salad! The house dressing was clearly made from scratch and it was some type of vinaigrette which was smooth and delicious... never had a dressing quite like it. Unlike Olive Garden which only gives you two pepperoncinis, I found at least for salad peppers in this. Also pepperoni and large cuts of salami as well as both green and black olives. You are given a choice of regular Italian bread or garlic bread. We opted for a mixture so we got two slices of each. The garlic bread was actually delicious with a nice texture. 5) Main Course: As mentioned in point #2, I had the Seafood Scatter which is Gulf Shrimp, Clams and Mussels served in a creamy spinach sauce over fettuccine. Wonderful dish! It even had a flower as a garnish. I enjoyed it so much I actually reached for my napkin and habitually expected it to be a "cloth" napkin. It just doesn't seem like this meal would be casual dining with paper napkins, haha. My wife ordered the chicken parmesan and she said it was the best she's ever had. She said the red sauce was not too sweet. She also noted the chicken with the melted cheese had perfect texture. 6) Dessert: I can't remember all the choices but I do recall key lime pie and some type of chocolate dessert. I chose the Turtle Dessert. It was a cheesecake with a chocolate drizzle over walnuts or pecans...it was two days ago and I can't remember what type of nuts. Also, what looks like a dollop of ice cream turned out to be a delicious whipped topping. Summary: I enjoyed every step of the meal from beginning to end. PRO TIP; If you're traveling thru and can't take leftovers, I recommend you skip the appetizer. The salad before the meal is quite filling and with the appetizer I was already getting full before my meal showed.
