Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Needham

We ordered off the Valentines menu which was sublime. Started with oysters and caviar. After a large exceptional Caesar salad a cavatelli pasta with pesto was made to perfection. The Chilean sea bass was prepared with a chimichuri sauce and black rice. Unusual but spectacular. Our server complimented the meal. In 60 years of dining all over the world I have encountered few who were better.

I visited on Valentine’s Day and loved the cozy ambiance with beautiful plant decorations. I ordered the 3 Valentine’s specials: the beet gnocchi, beet burrata, and cod dish, along with the cooked oysters. All were delicious though I was a bit disappointed with the beet burrata, as it had a very tiny amount of cubed beets and at first believed they forgot the beets on the dish. For dessert I had the tiramisu which was fantastic!

Our first time to Prima and it was a great experience. Katherine was our server and she was spectacular. She gave us great recommendations and was knowledgeable about the menu. We were running late for our reservation and the hostess could not have been more accommodating. We had the tuna crudo and meatballs. Tuna was fresh and the red sauce with the meatballs was chefs kiss* My boyfriend and I have just moved to the area and were excited to check out Prima, the hype is real. We can’t wait to return. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing. We were late to our reservation due to a car accident in the highway and they were very understanding. The service was amazing it was extremely beautiful in the restaurant. The food was 10/10.

Our experience today was wonderful! The food is delicious as always and the service is outstanding, especially Xavier! He establishes a friendly and professional rapport with his customers and is very responsive to our requests and needs. We thoroughly appreciate his professionalism and consistent service. All of the Il Massimos’ staff that greeted and served our table were fantastic. We will definitely be back again!
