We had a group of 10 for dinner. Our server's name was Cubano. Service and food were outstanding. I had the best lasagna I've ever had here in the Villages, my wife had an outstanding Chicken Marsala, and everyone was very happy with their orders.

Default Ricciardi's in Brownwood is now Prima Italian Steakhouse - Anyone dined there?

We've been there several times and never disappointed - great food and service.

Only been there once (recently) and I was not very impressed. Was just one of a dinner party of 8, so maybe they liked their meal better. The service was slow and the wait time for the meal was so slow that the manager came to the table and brought more bread and had the drinks refilled. My meal was over priced for what I had and the meat was dry and hard to chew. Others at the table said their meals were OK. It was very noisy too. I have no intention of returning, but that's just me. One person at the table ordered the crab cakes and said they were terrible, too much filler. I attribute the long wait time to our large party and probably the shortage of employees (waiters).
Personally, I would not put too much stock in one person's single visit that resulted in a less than stellar review. If you look at their menu and see something that draws you there, try it out and make your own decision.

I’m very picky but I must say Prima is excellent for Italian food. Haven’t had the steaks but I spotted a few coming out of the kitchen and they looked good. Service is excellent and prices are not bad considering what everyone else charges

Four of us went to Prima for dinner; the food was acceptable but nothing to rave about, especially for the price. I won't go back anytime soon.

Default Excellent

We rarely go out to eat..but when we do we go to Prima. Great food , excellent service, attentive Managers. Not as “pricey” as many other Villages restaurants.

Like most of the restaurants in the Villages, it is okay but nothing spectacular. Eating out is expensive and really good restaurants are hard to come by.

We've been there several times, including with my 100% Italian mother and she said her meal was excellent. IMO, the best lasagna I've ever had.

you can say that again.... actually we find that eating out here has bee cheaper than what we are used to.... but the good restaurant part is highly accurate

Default Excellent service, very good food and great management

We have been at least 12 times, never had a bad experience! The Lobster Cannoli was simply amazing.
