Primi Camps Bay

I stayed 5 days in Cape Town and went to several restaurants of various types of food... This restaurant was definitely the best for me! Great price, excellent service and delicious food! On my last day I witnessed a very cool scene, there was a table with two children who seemed a little bored, the children went to see the bartender making drinks, he gave all the attention, showed how he made the drinks, and interacted with the children.. In the end he was even applauded by them! He certainly made the children's dinner happier! Everyone is to be congratulated! The bartender, the team of attendants, cooks and the owner of the restaurant!

Just spent a wonderful Sunday evening at Primi. Staff were very polite, friendly and helpful. My wife who is coeliac had a lovey pasta dish. Staff were very knowledgeable of gluten intolerance. The evening was enhanced by the fabulous live jazz music that gave the place a great vibe. Because it is a little way off the main Camps Bay strip it’s easy to miss it abut it is worth looking out for. The main Camps Bay strip can be a little full on which made The Primi a lovely peaceful option. I would definitely recommend this place for a lovey chilled experience. Will certainly be returning.

We went during the week so it was nice & quiet. Service was not great as our waitron did not understand, nor spoke coherent English. Atmosphere is lovely as there are views across the ocean. Food was OK

Popped in to get a takeaway for lunch and the staff were friendly and the service quick. I ordered the chicken liver pasta and it was super satisfying and great value for money! Decent portion, delicious flavour, a good amount of sauce and livers and there were some sliced peppers and mushrooms included, and I was even provided with takeaway portions of garlic, Parmesan and chilli. Will definitely order this pasta again and am keen to try other options :)

Great night out. Food was good. Just wished they had more pasta noodle options. Reservations could use a bit of work. They first couldn't find our booking, then when they managed to find it and we adjusted our time due to traffic they didn't rebook correctly and couldn't find our new reservation at all upon arrival. Nevertheless they found us a table. 5 stars for that. A little less pushy on alcohol sales would be appreciated. Sometimes customers drink other times, you don't. It's a restaurant, not a bar. Food was really satisfying. I think shrinkflation has hit them a bit, so just mind the pasta portions. Probably trying to keep the pasta prices under R200. Sometimes it comes across as a bit meager. Other than that yea, a nice restaurant for dinner. Hiccups aside. Will still return.

After a lot of searching, we finally found this little gem. Primi is beautifully located right on the Camps Bay coastline, the perfect spot to watch the sunset with a drink in hand. On Sundays, there’s even live music, which adds a great atmosphere. And the food? Truly delicious. I’m Italian and I love to cook, so normally I’m quite picky with anything that tries to be Italian. In theory, I should know better — but honestly, they know better than me. They take the Italian basics and mix them with an African vibe, and the result is fantastic: full of flavour, super tasty, beautifully balanced. A small note: the dishes took a bit of time to arrive, but we also ordered in two separate rounds, so that might be on us. The staff is lovely — warm, welcoming and relaxed, which fits perfectly with the vibe of the place. Definitely a spot you’ll want to come back to. Highly recommended!
