Osteria by Primo - Staten Island (NY)

5 /5 Amy Chong: Delicious foods!!!!...the octopus was cooked just right---crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. The branzino was firm, tender and juicy. Services was excellent!!!.....the waiter who I think was the boss was super friendly!! Definitely recommend a try. I would definitely make this my regular spot. The special non-alcoholic drink that was made for me (forgot to take a pic) was so good too!!!

5 /5 Nina M.: Osteria by Primo was the perfect choice for my birthday celebration, and we couldn’t have made a better decision. The restaurant has its own parking lot, which is very convenient. Inside, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. I have a deja vu that I am on my vacation in Italy. The service is truly exceptional. It feels elegant but never pretentious. Our dinner was filled with joy and unforgettable food—fried calamari, grilled octopus, fresh salads, pizza, pasta and perfectly cooked steaks. I won’t describe each dish in detail because every single one was mouthwatering, delicious, and obviously prepared with heart. We even had the pleasure of meeting the chef, who kindly checked on us and surprised our table with complimentary treats. It made the evening even more special. It was, without doubt, one of the best celebrations I could imagine. Osteria by Primo has now become my special place, and highly recommend it for any occasion.

5 /5 Stompy God: I recently dined here and had an excellent experience. Dan provided exceptional service, making our visit even more enjoyable. The short rib was incredibly tender and flavorful, easily one of the best I’ve had. The risotto was perfectly prepared—creamy, well-balanced, and seasoned to perfection. I also tried the mushroom pizza, which was delicious and beautifully executed. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend this spot for both the food and the service.

5 /5 Love it or hate it: The food is amazing!! The octopus is to die for so soft and flavorful wow!! This place is such a hidden gem! The waiter Dan could be very questionable but other than that good food!!

5 /5 Mary Alice Cashin: What a nice experience we had at Osteria by Primo. The food and service (Dan and his team) was excellent with a cozy atmosphere an plenty of space. As a group of 6 we had the luxury to taste many appetizers and entrees. Had a few cocktails too! We loved them all!! Highly recommend you stop in and enjoy a meal there!! We are definitely going back soon! PS - parking lot in the back of restaurant was very convenient.
