Tired of the traditional steak and seafood served at most City of Hamilton restaurants? Long a staple on the dining scene, Primavera offers the zesty flavors of Italy, from regions ranging from Rome to Sicily, and even some Sardinian dishes. We won't say that this is the overall best Italian food in the City of Hamilton, because many diners prefer Little Venice or Tuscany. But what you get here is retro fare that would have suited the Rat Pack. You might begin with cold or hot antipasto (for example, cold seafood salad or hot baked clams in marinara sauce) and follow with soup (perhaps minestrone) or a salad (probably Caesar). The pasta dishes include tortellini Primavera and black ravioli with lobster. Other options are good chicken cacciatore, and sautéed veal with fresh vegetables. Top off your meal with an espresso or a frothy cappuccino. The service is impeccable.
