Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Chelsea

I visited on Valentine’s Day and loved the cozy ambiance with beautiful plant decorations. I ordered the 3 Valentine’s specials: the beet gnocchi, beet burrata, and cod dish, along with the cooked oysters. All were delicious though I was a bit disappointed with the beet burrata, as it had a very tiny amount of cubed beets and at first believed they forgot the beets on the dish. For dessert I had the tiramisu which was fantastic!

Our first time to Prima and it was a great experience. Katherine was our server and she was spectacular. She gave us great recommendations and was knowledgeable about the menu. We were running late for our reservation and the hostess could not have been more accommodating. We had the tuna crudo and meatballs. Tuna was fresh and the red sauce with the meatballs was chefs kiss* My boyfriend and I have just moved to the area and were excited to check out Prima, the hype is real. We can’t wait to return. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing. We were late to our reservation due to a car accident in the highway and they were very understanding. The service was amazing it was extremely beautiful in the restaurant. The food was 10/10.

Great overall experience. We went for an early Valentine’s Day dinner and had their prix fixe menu for the holiday. Cocktails were perfect, ambiance was fun and flirty and the service was impeccable. Our server was very knowledgeable about the wine list and helped us pick out a great bottle of white wine we had never tried before. The first of the three appetizers was an interesting take on a salad course that wasn’t our favorite but everything to follow was spectacular. Also, for the south end, I thought pricing was reasonable. We will be back.

Decided that V-Day lunch would be easier than dinner and we were 100% right and didn’t sacrifice ambience or flavor. We had a nice quiet lunch in a table next to the window. The food was excellent and drinks were delicious. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
