    We had a lovely dinner at Tu Tus with family. The bites are delicous and staff is attentive and friendly. The steak skewers and ribs are some of our favorites. If your not sure what to get try the Tour of Tu Tus. This way you get a chance to sample multi dishes and get desert as well! If you have room that is. Highly recommend making reservationa as it gets very busy.

    Aside from the food, it was the service that was memorable. The server for me and my fiancee was Cynthia. She was absolutely amazing! Despite being run ragged by the full house that night it did not stop her from being warm and gracious. She accommodated my fiancee who has allergies and even selected her drink to try. As younger people just starting out our careers, she made us feel welcomed in such a swanky environment lol. I'm sure the rest of the staff is just good but Cynthia was another level.

    Had a wonderful meal and overall experience. We weren’t sure what to expect with the limited menu but Primo did not disappoint! The bread service, appetizers and entrees were all excellent. I enjoyed the octopus starter and the pork saltimbocca, my wife had the brodo and gemelli with mushrooms & chicken- all were fabulous- definitely order the bread service too! Gio and Allie our servers were attentive and professional- Gio made some great wine pairing suggestions! Great food, service and overall experience!
