We are honored that Primo has been designated a Recommended Restaurant in the inaugural Florida 2022 MICHELIN Guide. Led by award-winning chef Melissa Kelly, our restaurant serves authentic Italian cuisine, featuring organic produce and a carefully crafted wine list.

The menu focuses on the farm-to-table experience with seasonal highlights including produce, honey and eggs sourced from on-premises Primo Garden and Whisper Creek Farm in addition to Mick's Farm and Frog Song Organics in the local community. All seafood is also locally sourced from Florida waters, including clams from Cedar Key, white shrimp and squid from Cape Canaveral, and Snapper, grouper, and other seasonal catch from Ponce Inlet. Mountain Trail Farm in Clermont, FL provides Primo with whole pigs, which are prepared several different ways. Primo also has a long-standing relationship with Lake Meadows Naturals in Ocoee, FL for chicken and ducks.

Restaurant was very busy. Service was very disappointing, especially given we booked the reservation so far in advance. Ordered burrata and a charcuterie board as starters. The board never came—server said they accidentally delivered it to another table. They made a replacement that ended up coming when the mains arrived. The server never asked if anyone would like another glass of wine with the meal. Will not return next year when we stay at the JW Marriott for the same annual conference.

Chef Melissa Kelly and her local Orlando team are deserving of every accolade you can think of… From a warm welcome including a relaxing and well stocked bar. I normally skip the bread service at restaurants, but that would be a huge mistake at PRIMO. The onion focaccia is spectacular! Don’t miss the delicious starters - especially the meatballs, mushroom Arancini and farmers salad. The duck breast was delicious, but nothing beats the Melissa’s special family recipe of pork saltimbocca. Save room for delicious desserts!

During our recent visit to JW Marriott we had dinner at Primo. From the beginning to the end staff was very attentive and helpful. We tried for a starter octopus and it was the best I’ve tried. I had the flounder and my husband opted in for the pork. From the presentation to the taste everything was perfect. Thank you our waiter Gino was all recommending us both dishes. We end up with affogato for desert and it was the best ending of such a memorable evening. Thank you!

Was not expecting much since it is a hotel restaurant- but we were surprised ! It has a great menu - lots of choices. We split a salad which was great and good sized. Then a marguerita pizza- again it was good. Best surprise- we had an order of the hot donuts, so light and fluffy with great carmel apple sauce- over the moon!
