Prima Pasta & Cafe

Many years ago I went here for a party in a private room. Today I went for lunch with my son. They bring you water without you having to ask. You get a complimentary basket of garlic knots and sauced bread. The soft drinks have refills. The food tastes really good and it fills you up.

Nice pizza/pasta restaurant. Large servings of good quality food. Went with a large group which delayed service somewhat but expected.

I went to Prima Pasta for a party they held in the backroom and I was very, very impressed. For 45 dollars I ate like a king! The food was delicious and it kept coming. They're very authentic, very Italian, and the penny al vodka I had in the pasta course was perhaps the best I ever ate. The chicken marsala was scrumptious and very hardy. The entertainment was great and everyone there from the staff to the patrons were so nice. I can't say enough great things about Prima Pasta, a hidden jewel in Howard Beach, like a pearl. Your family event, social function, or first date, have it at Prima Pasta.

Lively fun atmosphere! Great music, fabulous singers. Nice variety. Clear and descriptive menu. Lots of great choices. Attentive staff. Good food. Clean. Been going for thirty five years and it's better than ever!
