Reviews for Primo Italian American Cuisine in Gurnee, IL
A very nice restaurant, fine dining the least. The ambience is very calming. The staff are very friendly. Our server is very... hospitable and even gave a free dessert with a firecracker candle as a congratulations for my daughter. The food are awesome(at least what we ordered). The interior is magnificent and clean. We didn’t even regret why we randomly chose to go there,though we’re not locals — we would definitely go there again if we would fly there again. But it’s a restaurant whereeveryone can be more than satisfied. Read more
It was my first time at Primo, and I truly think it needs more attention. We came in on a Friday, and were immediately impressed... with their menu. Tons of options, but we started off with their Birch cocktails. Cocktails were fun, somewhat exotic, andcreative. We did a variety of seafood, steak, and pasta. All were amazing, and the prices are fair for what you get. We werestuffed, but their dessert was too good to pass up. On Friday’s, they have live music at their Parlor which is so pleasant anda nice touch. In addition, it was too hot but we did check out their outdoor patio which has some really good photoopportunities. Overall, a splendid evening, and very convenient right next to Six Flags. Read more
Atmosphere was nice. I was there for a birthday celebration, there was 12 in our party. Appetizers and drinks were delivered... promptly. The crab cakes were awesome, although they were tiny they were full of lump crab with a wonderful mango salsa. Therest of the food was slow cold and bland. I ordered the steamed seafood tower. I was excited when it was delivered but it wasvery disappointing. The shrimp were seasoned very well and was the only reason I didn't send it back. Read more

We had the Easter brunch. It was really nice. I was quite surprised. They had several courses, including desert. Family style.... We asked for more bacon and they brought out a whole plate. Very nice brunch. I hope they do this for Mothers Day Read more
Service was really just ok. took an hour to get seated (should have made reservations before hand…) someone seated another... couple at our table by accident so we had to wait longer to get seated. food was great and definitely made up for the wait!great wine, steak was cooked perfectly and was insanely tender, and they brought out a beautiful slice of cake for my momsbirthday with a cool candle that SHOT flames into the air. would definitely come back for the food alone!!! thanks!

This was my 2nd visit, but I left with the same impression, "disappointed". Primo is just "okay" food at exorbitant prices in a... very "cool" chic venue. They definitely draw a good size evening crowd so it has a buzz but also that means the service isspread thin, and was just okay. I enjoyed the lobster bisque and complimentary garlic bread sticks that they brought out. MyNY strip steak was advertised and priced as prime, but the texture was more like choice. I opted for the extra add on mushroomtopping, I got a saucecup of warmed small whole mushrooms that were absolutely hideous! When I told my server, she wisked themaway without comment, but left them on the bill anyway. The 4 onion rings on top of the steak were just packaged onionrings. The $20 pasta ravioli is definitely not house made, I asked for a carbonara sauce but what arrived looked like liquidyhalf and half of alfredo packet sauce with peas added. Did I mention they have a nice bar tho?!? Read more
