Primi V&a Waterfront - Cape Town

This is a delightful spot to enjoy a meal and a drink on a sunny day, featuring fantastic views and incredible pizza! The service is good, though it tends to slow down when the restaurant is busy. I ordered two pizzas: a California and a Chicken Prego. The thin crust was truly impressive—crispy and light—and the toppings were fresh and hot when they arrived. The wait time was reasonable; my pizzas came out within 20 minutes of placing my order. I also tried a Hoegaarden beer on tap, which was refreshing and excellent!

We dined here on a Monday evening and found the restaurant to be quite spacious, with plenty of tables available, allowing us to walk in and find a seat easily. The staff were friendly and quick to take our orders. While I wouldn’t describe it as a truly authentic Italian restaurant, the dishes seem to have been modified to suit South African tastes. We ordered the Recco classico pasta (with chicken) and the salmon trout, both of which were tasty. The portion sizes were also generous.

I like Primi because it has a variety of options to choose from. Their food is of high quality and super tasty. The deco is very modern and cozy, makes you feel warm inside. The waiters are all very friendly and welcoming. Their service is very fast and efficient. From the time we arrived at the door we were welcomed with smiles, we were asked were we would like to sit and taken to the outdoor sitting as per my preference. The view was great. The table we sat on was dirty so I had to ask the waiter to clean it. Not sure what the waiters name was because he didn't introduce himself and I didn't see his name tag. The service was quick and the restaurant wasn't busy while we were there. I was a bit disappointed with the amount of linguine I got since I asked for the upside. I was expecting more. Despite the small portion the pasta itself was al dente, the vegetables were still crunchy (which I like), the whole meal was flavorful. My only concern was the amount of oil left on my plate once I was done eating. The pizza had way too much coriander, I mean I love coriander but there was way too much, it wasn't a coriander pizza. We ordered the Moroccan chicken pizza which was very delicious. The chocolate brownie milkshake had bits of brownies in it and it wasn't too sweet. It had just the right amount of chocolate, brownies and milkshake. Primi is a children friendly restaurant and a good place to enjoy a meal with family and friends. On the day I was there they had a problem with the POS system and clients were asked to use Snap Scan to make payments. Later there was a problem with Snap Scan as well and we had to go withdraw money from the ATM to make cash payments for our meal. I think the problem was with Standard bank though because the Standard bank ATMs were out of order when I went to withdraw.

The atmosphere, music and service in this place is impeccable. Definitely would recommend. Awesome views as well of the big wheel

The food and atmosphere are always great here as well as the service. However, this time, I asked for water, and I'm still waiting for it. It is a bit cold where we were sitting. Make sure you dress warm in winter. We didn't wait long for our food either. I will always recommend Primi, but I am not sure what happened with the service.
