Prima Ristorante



We had a chance to eat at Prima Ristorante in Walnut Creek last week and I wanted to do a quick review on this very nice Italian eatery.

Prima is in the heart of the Downtown area, which is a really happening place now that all the new development is done. It's a nice room done in warm colors with dark wood trim. The food is a nice California take on rustic Italian dishes.

On our visit we had an appetizer of scallops on a bed of lentils, gnocchi with Italian sausage, and a saffron and chicken linguini. The food is tasty and their wine list is a wonderful blend of hard to find Italian Reds and local California selections.

As an added treat on Fridays they have a talented Jazz trio quietly groovin' in the bar area. It's worth a trip just to have a glass of wine and listen to the music.

It's a nice place run by good people. Check it out.
