Tired of the traditional steak and seafood served at most City of Hamilton restaurants? Long a staple on the dining scene, Primavera offers the zesty flavors of Italy, from regions ranging from Rome to Sicily, and even some Sardinian dishes. We won't say that this has the best Italian food in the City of Hamilton, because many diners prefer Little Venice. But what you get here is retro fare that would have suited the Rat Pack. Savory appetizers come hot or cold and range from fresh oysters to fresh mussels served in a zesty marinara sauce. For your main course, opt for the gnocchi verdi with Gorgonzola cheese and walnuts, or the tenderloin of beef in a peppercorn sauce. Our favorite main dish is the
zuppa di pesce alla Livornese, a savory kettle of clams, mussels, jumbo shrimp, and fish filets with fresh tomatoes, wine, and garlic sauce served in a sizzling cast-iron pan. Top off your meal with an espresso or a frothy cappuccino. The service is impeccable.
