Come Prima

“Come Prima is one of those rare neighborhood gems that feels like it's been part of the Upper East Side forever, because it has, and thank goodness. The Italian food is genuinely some of the best in the area (in my opinion, the best). You can taste the pride and craft in every dish. Sal, the owner, sets the tone with his warmth, and Nina behind the bar is an absolute star, endlessly friendly, welcoming, and the kind of hospitality you just don't find everywhere anymore. The whole team makes you feel like you are walking into a friend's home. If I am being fair, the room could use a little more energy at times... but honestly, the quality of the food and the heart of the people more than make up for it. The menu from the chef is spot-on, comforting and elevated at the same time. A true Upper East Side staple and one I am always happy to return to.”

“I confidently rate this place 5 stars! We're fortunate to have Come Prime nearby. They consistently serve healthy, simple meals that are full of flavor. The service is quick and friendly, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is always warm and inviting!!! It's an ideal spot for a cozy dinner or celebrating your birthday.”
