We had a great time at Prime 1024. We had the special Caprese salad and the fried calamari for starters. They were wonderful. My hubby had Chicken Diavolo and I enjoyed a great Pappaedelli a la Ragú. Desserts were great as well. The service is really attentive and friendly. Our server, Edison and his helping coworker David, were really efficient and kind, and took great care of us. Prime 2024 never disappoints. We go there every time we want to celebrate a special occasion. We will be back!

Everything was great but coming to a restaurant where threres a lot of available seats and to be sat near the window and it’s freezing outside wasn’t ideal but I didn’t argue. That was my only takeaway. Besides that the food was good, the drinks were ok, as was the hookah. Ambiance and music was great.
