Primitivo Osteria offers distinct and authentic homemade pastas taken from the countryside of southern Italy. Playing on the name 'Primitivo', a simple wine from Puglia, with the idea of preparing 'primitive' homemade pastas and by offering the one of New York's largest selection of 'Primitivo' red wine, Primitivo Osteria was born. One is able to choose from an extensive, eclectic and reasonably priced wine list to go with its diverse, sprawling menu of traditional Italian favorites. Our menu also includes an extraordinary array of unique seafood and land dishes. Excutive Chef 'Hector Franco' compliments the menu by preparing many exciting market driven daily dinner specials.
