Primavera Pub in Hartford

Excellent food and service, looks like a pub but tastes like a 5 star restaurant. Food is very very reasonable and portions are over the top. Come early or late otherwise you will wait.

Primavera is a family of friends from the whole community. Just this evening some of the people I encountered...a retired dentist that I used to go to, twin childhood friends, one lives in my current town , the other is here visiting from Portugal, a soccer facility owner that I know from his work with the community, a retired policeman that I respect very much for his dedication to his elderly mother-in-law, friends of my sisters, neighbors from my street over 50 years back in Hartford...just to name a few.Yes, I went for the food...and the salmon was cooked just right, the potatoes chips were awesome, and the chocolate mousse was the perfect ending. The social part was just the norm...a friendly place to go.

Very disappointed with their service. I called in for a take out and was put on hold for 5 minutes. Hung up and called back again. Was put on hold again. Finally they took my order, said it would take about 40 minutes. it actually ended up taking them an hour and 20 minutes to get my food. In the meantime they had half of my order sitting on the counter, which ended up being cold. And then they put it in the bag with the rest of the food that just came out. Another thing I noticed while waiting for my food along with several other people waiting to be seated. The waitress walked through the waiting area with two people’s meals. Which is very unprofessional. You don’t walk through the waiting area with people’s food in your hands. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!

I called Primavera asking for a vegetarian option and they whipped up a pasta for me with brócoli mushrooms and onion in a garlic sauce. Very delicious, their food has a lot of flavors!

This establishment catered my wedding in 1994 , and the flavors of the food are still outstanding. The quality has never changed!!!!!

I'd like to tell you to stay away so I find better parking but... OMG! And WOW! Go. Enjoy!

One of the best Portuguese restaurants around! Prices are great, the crowd is great, the service is great and the food is great. The picture below is javali (wild boar). It was so tender!

Highly recommend this place, high quality food at moderate prices.

This Portuguese cuisine restaurant is beyond phenomenal in its culinary structure. The size portions are larger than expected, definitely recommended showing up with an empty, hollow stomach. A wide variety if both seafood and steak plates. Sandwiches, salads, and soups are also offered here, as well as a bar section with liquor offered to the restaurants guests. There is also a salon specifically for events. Long lines and waiting time, so be patient. Highly recommended to those who love a fresh, overwhelming plate of food for lunch or dinner. Closed on Mondays. Obrigado

Very nice and cozy place..great food.

I never had a bad meal and the portions are fulfilling.

Great brunch. Claudia's service was phenomenal.

I ordered the spaghetti with shirmp and clams. Clams were fine the the shrimp was frozen, with no taste at all. Also, it was kinda grease for me. Better quality products could make a difference here.

Best Portuguese Restaurant in town! Truly Amazing price and you can't beat the price!

Quality of food and quality of service go hand in hand.....Primavera has both, with a very clean and tidy restaurant. If you like Portuguese/American fare, then this local hidden gem is a great place to have lunch or dinner.

Food was good, delicious, good value, great service... will come back👍

I endulged in their food today for the first time. I ordered what I thought would be a simple steak and cheese on a roll with grilled onions. To my surprise this was amazing. Complements to the chef. There is a bit of a wait time about 15-20 minutes but get a seat they fill up fast. The rich hearty food is worth it. Full of flavor, I'll definitely be going back!

Amazing menu, good portions and affordable prices I love the red snapper 🙌👌😍

Awesome place to eat and enjoy good company

This please continues to knock it out of the park during this Covid BS..they have maintained quality control on their to go orders and it’s the best I’ve had. Don’t forget to tip (yes extra cash) for you cheap types that don’t understand. Keep up the good work and thank you

Very good in my book

I’m in love with this place! The food is delicious & consistent! The food is also incredibly affordable and reasonably priced for what you get. I love their Portuguese wine selections (also reasonably priced). Dessert is amazing! I’ve had the chocolate mousse (amazing and rich in flavor) and their banana Nutella dessert (my favorite) I just can’t say enough good things about this place. And to top it off, staff is friendly and accommodating. Usually very busy, long wait times as people spend a good chunk of time because Of the great atmosphere but so worth it! Be patient, you will not regret it!

Awesome Portuguese food! Great place for a party 🎉

Great Portuguese cuisine, fresh food, they moved to a new building witch you won’t be eating on top of each other like old place.

We've ordered take-out, attended a party at their location and enjoyed their food catered at a family party. It was all delicious. My only interaction with staff was while placing my take out order. She was very pleasant.

Excellent Portuguese American dishes at a reasonable price. You will get addicted. Excellent atmosphere and service.

Good Portuguese home cooking.

Great Português food & customer service.

Food is amazing. So much flavour. You can really get anything you want and change any type of a dish as you wish. Great portions. So unreasonably priced. Only take reservations for 6 & more. Nice sized bar. Will definitely revisit.

Just go in and discover the delicious tastes of Portugal. This people get it right. Love the "Grilled Octopus" or the "Seafood Mix" plates. With so many options, I always find something new to try.

The service is extremely slow even at non-peak time. The bread took 45 minutes to come out and appetizers took over an hour. The food is fine (given we were extremely hungry after gym) but totally not worth such a long wait. I would not recommend this restaurant.

Wonderful!!! It was our first time in the new Place!! They did an Excellent job!! Food and Service is always Great!! Can't wait to go back!!😊

Great!! The food is delicious 😋 we are looking towards to come again when the place gets bigger, the restaurants are moving next door to a bigger space. We will be there love the food.

We live in Oregon but have family in Connecticut. My nephew’s girlfriend’s family is Portuguese and this is their favorite restaurant. I’m glad they brought us here. We had never had Portuguese food. It was so good we came back the next day!Loved everything...the atmosphere, food, and service (thank you Tania). The prawns in garlic sauce were amazing! We’re looking forward to our next visit.

The BEST seafood I've ever had. Portions are ridiculous, and environment is welcoming. Love the new addition

Delicious food! Great place for Portuguese food!

Wonderful! Pleasant outdoor dining, good service, large portions, delicious Portuguese cuisine. My first time at Primavera Pub; I will return.

We arrived at 5:30 and had an hour wait. We finally got a seat in the bar area and waited almost an hour for our dinner to arrive. My meal was not only not what I ordered but was poorly cooked- calamari was over cooked and rubbery and the broccoli was undercooked- and the food was not even hot. My meal was supposed to have come with shrimp which it didn't and when I sent it back all that was done was that the shrimp was tossed on the top but the meal itself was still cold. This whole process was almost three hours long. This restaurant came highly recommended and I really don't understand why. Not impressed.

I've been there many times for dinner and I'm never disappointed. Food is great in the price is very reasonable. Highly recommended...!

good Portuguese authentic food been eating at this place for more than 10 years and staff are assume

Great Portuguese food. Love it! Love it!!

excellent authentic Portuguese cuisine...large portions great prices, wide variety to choose from...do go early

I know they'll make my favorites right every time!

The food was great. First time at this restaurant and I wasn't dissappointed. It's like living by the ocean and when the boat's come in and you're eating the freshest seafood. This is going to be one of my 'go to' spots now.

I loved it the food there is Amazing it tastes like heaven so I would recommend.

Food was Delish... .Monica our Server was on Point. Definitely Recommend. Pink Moscato Sangria was Yummy

Go with any Seafood dish. Everyone loved the food and our waitress was amazing.

The Portuguese guys I work with invited me to Go to this amazing restaurant. They had been talking to me about it for months. And it more than lived up to the stories they told me. The food was fantastic, And the service was Exceptional. I can't wait, To go back Again this time with my wife she loves This kind of food.

Absolutely the best food for a very reasonable price and great service.I have been going there for many years and have never been disappointed. Not a better restaurant anywhere.
