Welcome to Primavera Ristorante

“ My first time visiting restaurant. I read reviews and wanted to find small place to celebrate my mom's 90th birthday. The staff was wonderful. Very attentive to large group , patient, kind and funny at times. We ate ala carte as suggested. The food was excellent, everyone's plates were clean. We had a range of pasta, steak and seafood dishes. ”

“ I discovered La Primavera Ristorante one evening when I was going to Essex Green Movie Theater. I had time to kill & it just so happened that Fridays shut down. I usually just grabbed something quickly there but since it was permanently closed I decided to go somewhere nearby. Fortunately, I lucked into this amazing restaurant. Truth is, I was coming directly from work. I wasn't looking for fancy place to eat, I simply wanted something to fill my stomach. This restaurant had the most pleasant staff who knew exactly what to recommend. Their Rock Shrimp is basically legendary, I've since gotten the rest of my family addicted to it. Their entrees are all exquisite. Their wine list itself is also very good. It's not the largest selection but it covers a wide range. Their premium Amarone is fairly priced & a pleasant bottle to enjoy. If you decide to go with a lower priced bottle they have a great selection of Cabs that are very good & very reasonably priced. You really can't go wrong here. I would say the only constructive criticism from me would be that they should advertise. I only found them by accident. I'm really glad I did, but if it weren't for those wild pandemic days & chains like Fridays leaving me standing out in the cold, I don't know if I would've found them. They are my wife's favorite restaurant in the Caldwells, West Orange area. They truly are a fantastic spot whether you bring your entire family or keep it intimate. ”

“ Excellent food and service. Was in town for a wedding and tried this place the evening before. Chicken piccata was great, two large flat breasts with a great sauce and plenty of capers. The vodka penne was even better and very light sauce. One of our party ordered the pork chop and said it was the best chop he had ever eaten. The sashimi tuna appetizer was excellent and was enough for a meal for a light eater. Very attentive service, my water glass was refilled anytime I took more than two sips. Complimentary bread and small thin crust cheese pizza while waiting. Not a large place but they take reservations. Definitely would return. ”
