First time here and it was outstanding. I have been working in the restaurant industry for 10+ years and this was one of the nicest meals Ive had in a long time. Very cozy and welcoming atmosphere that made me feel like I was at someones home. Super clean inside and our server Nikki was extremely professional and attentive and everything a server should be and more! Had the bruschetta that was HUGE and filled with flavor. House salad with house dressing that was delecious and our main entree was the Pork Osso Buco. Let me first say that the marsala sauce was the best Marsala sauce I have ever had. It was absolutely perfect and very generous in portion size and had a great presentation. Of course we had to get dessert which consisted of the cannoli and lemoncelo cake. They both were packed with flavor and were a perfect compliment to the end of our dining experience. I will be back and will be bringing friends! Thank you so much. We took a gamble trying a new Italian restaurant and hit the jackpot! Well done Primavera -Paul

I had originally rated this as 5 stars, but as Ive gone back I realized that I just started with the best thing on the menu and have been disapointed by everything else. We had a great server the first two times, but she quit long ago. So its time to update my review. Short and sweet: The rose` sauce is awesome, the gnocchi are good, the sandwiches are huge, the alfredo sauce is OK. I have been terribly dissapointed with everything else Ive tried. Worst offenders: their chicken marsala somehow tastes like Beef Bourguignon, their veal cutlets are paper thin, and their shrimp appetizer is drowning in a tasteless white sauce. Service is consistantly mediocre, but never bad. The location isnt great, but the have made the best out of an old building. Everything is clean on the inside, and they seem to be working on updating the outside.

We ate at Primaveras after my moms funeral the end of May -- about 15 of us. Everyone loved their food -- including the salads, the calamari starters, and the crab cakes. No complaints from anyone - it was uniformly delicious. The staff was warm and so very accommodating. We stayed - and I am not exaggerating - 4 hours - much of it just sitting and catching up as wed driven up from Florida and hadnt seen friends or family in literally years. We asked them several times if it was still okay to sit there and we were assured it was. This meant the world to me and I cant recommend Primaveras enough. They helped tremendously in a very difficult time. Thank you, Primavera staff!

The pizza is hands down the best in the area, you have to try it. The staff is extremely friendly, attentive, competent and hard working. If they dont respond to your needs quickly, its probably because they are helping someone else and making them feel as special as they will make you feel. As for the rest of the menu, they will do their best to tailor it to your desire. Everything has been good and they modify anything we want to change. We visit several times a month and even a couple times a week.

Ive had a number of dishes here and the best things I can say is that its in between APG South (Edgewood) and the main Aberdeen Proving Ground so you can meet folks here for lunch. The red sauce isnt as overly powering sweet as other places in MD. The rest of the menu that Ive had tends to be overpriced for the quality. Service can vary between speedy and molasses, so you roll the dice for lunch. It gets three stars not for what it is, but by how less worse it is compared to other places near by.

My co driving and I were passing through and were lucky enough to find this on google maps. They had enough room to park out semi in and run in and grab some food. After being on the road for three months you dont have high expectations for food but we were happily proven wrong. The food is amazing! The server was very sweet and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy dinner on the road. I will be back the next time Im in the area. I highly recommend this place.

Unimpressive from the outside but lovely atmosphere inside. Food was a little pricier than I expected for what was served. It was good, but not that good and you cant get plain sweet tea unless you get unsweetened tea and add sugar... The service was good tho, very friendly, efficient, &the right amount of antisocial for me, but I noticed they were very interactive with other ppl more into that.

WELL over an hour for delivery and I live less than a mile away? Why even bother saying you deliver. I could have hobbled down and back on crutches and saved some time.... Hopefully they stopped at 7-11 to toss it in the microwave so its at least warm.

Quick and dirty version - go for the pizza. The margherita rivals some of the best pies Ive had in Manhattan, and thats saying something. Dont expect outstanding service or for your order to be right consistently. And definitely dont order the gnocchi.

I will never go back to this resturant again. The bartender is extremely rude. And she will have the cooks spike your food. Nice restaurant great atmosphere and wonderful setting but horrible service by the chubby bartender with black hair.

The food was good but -when you order an entree, please seperate the pasta. Eggplant parmesan or veal marsala do not need pasta piled on the plate. Sauce was good. Presentation is everything.

One of the best restaurants in all of Harford County. They serve real authentic Italian entrees. And this is the only place in Harford county that has real pizza that taste like NY style.

Placed a carry out order at 7:26 PM and was told that it would be delivered in 30 to 35 min. At 8:40 PM, I called and cancelled the order. They came at 8:44 PM. Never again!!!!

As one of the better Italian options, I really enjoy the dining feel. You can get daily lunch specials and alcohol as well as sit on the bar side if preferred.

Best pizza in the area. Food is very good. A little pricey. The bar has a neighborhood bar atmosphere even if it is the first time there. Very friendly staff.

We love Primavera. It is a go-to restaurant for us, and the pizza is the best! Wait staff is friendly and very much a neighborhood bar on the bar side.

Great food, all the way from appetizers to dessert, reasonable prices and great atmosphere, no loud music to interfere with good conversation.

Great place to stop and get a bite to eat. Service is great and food is good. Prices are not bad either. I highly recommend it.
