In Search of The Best Italian Food! - A Review Of Primavista

[@DickAnderson-k9y]

The Waiter was one of most knowledgeable people that you have ever shown. I also felt your enthusiasm for slightly off today and you seemed tired but I still enjoyed the video.

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Overall, dining at this restaurant was a delight from start to finish. The delicious food, impeccable service! It’s a must try!

[@kathiesullivan2543]

I agree. Something was off for this dinner and he did look tired.

[@erik754]

Waiter was extremely considerate and very knowledgeable! Looked pretty damn good to me🔥💯

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Absolutely

[@doloresmeixner7433]

Always an honest review! That's what means the most!

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Appreciate it!

[@claudiairons5566]

I look forward to these videos. Looked a little hangry. But I enjoyed seeing your mood transform within a few bites. Even a little smile at the end. Well done video. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀💵💵💵💵💵💰💰💰💰🏦🏦🏦🏦💵💵💵🍀🍀🍀🍀

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Another great video down, pops! 🎉🎉 Can't wait one day for our video! 😉🎉 Your long lost son, Mr.MoneyMagnet

“How has mom been? I miss her.”

[@honeybunchy1808]

The one thing I like with your videos is that you’re telling your audience about the total cost and how much you tip the server but not on this one. It’s nice to know if the prices are reasonable or overpriced but all in all I love your videos and the honest reviews.

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Fair enough! More to come!

[@CindyPalacio-fs6iz]

You make everything look delicious 😋 I have been craving Italian food too yummmmmmmy. Love your honest reviews keep bringing the great content

[@JasonWasTHERE]

What would you order if you had been able to order?

[@CindyPalacio-fs6iz]

@@JasonWasTHERE I love cheese so Iove baked ravioli extra mozzarella cheese and garlic bread. Simple but delicious my comfort foods

[@christeenhenry6448]

Jason.... It all Looked so Good.... Thanks for Sharing...😊😊

[@rogerrosen2323]

film but no face please the dude dosent know you tip big 500? no at the roadside place only

[@JasonWasTHERE]

My pleasure!!

[@michaelmurphy4829]

I like how you got Uncle Tony to be the waiter and call himself Anthony to throw us off. Nice touch. He tried to hand you the "Beer List". Changed his voice too so the audience would be fooled, but not me. Cant fool me Uncle Tony, or should I say Uncle Anthony. Thanks guys!!

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Haha! Great idea

[@jamiealbaugh1943]

Food looked amazing thanks for sharing Jason 💕💗💕💗💕💗

[@JasonWasTHERE]

My pleasure!! It sure was.

[@PenguinLoverNS]

That waiter was phenomenal. wow his knowledge was top-notch. That chicken looked dry. But the pasta looked yummy.

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Yes, the waiter was very knowledgeable which was a plus! I enjoyed each dish!

[@POWERMINDS747]

Darn, I missed you in Cincinnati! Wanted to see you! Did you go to the Cincinnati hard rock casino?

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Next time! 👍

[@DarlaDickson-k6g]

You look tired and not yourself need some rest The food looks amazing and your waiter was very knowledgeable and nice!

[@craigwatson921]

was thinking same - needs sleep

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Not at all. Just getting started!😜

[@EdwardNY8]

White shirt, Italian pastas, not a drop.. impressed 😁

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Practice makes perfect! Lol

[@amybutler4568]

Best line of the video was “counterfeit olive oil mafia ring” 🤣

[@JasonWasTHERE]

🤭

[@loisunderhill7555]

Yes ‼️ 😂

[@DPo_Kat]

I can’t ever fairly review any Italian restaurant because my grandmother from Calabria made the best food we ever ate growing up! This food looked meh but I agree that waiter was incredible!! Thank you as always for your honest and fair review! Looking forward to seeing you review an Indian restaurant, Dim sum, Thai, Vietnamese and /or Ethiopian food one day! 👍🏼❤️

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Stay tuned!

[@pattismith6149]

The food , especially the pasta meatballs , looked incredible. The bruschetta bread looked awesome but looked more like a garlic cheese bread. Server was so good, he definitely knew his stuff . Thanks for sharing ☺️

[@JasonWasTHERE]

In general, the food was excellent.

[@daveinapetticrew5489]

I really like the ambiance there too it's very soothing with that beautiful view ❣️

[@JasonWasTHERE]

It really is!

[@xraydonnie1]

Jason another excellent video. I would add to your analysis the red cork, never observed it. If you lightly squeeze the red end it will denote whether the wine was properly stored. I’d give you a 4.5 on your analysis. Tks for all your time and efforts. Much appreciated.

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Thanks for the tip! 👍

[@CarlB951]

Food looked very appetizing. I like your review and explanations of the tastes and quality of their food. Love the view! My daughter and son-in-law worked for the Cincinnati Police Department for 25 years and are now retired. She retired at 49! Thanks again for sharing with us. 😊

[@JasonWasTHERE]

My pleasure! Wow. Nice

[@jrs4ex]

Yumm now I want some Italian. Next time your on the East Coast you should take a short trip to check out some restaurants in Rhode Island. There are some amazing Italian restaurants in Federal Hill /Providence area. In Newport RI Mamma Luisa Ristorante Italiano is my favorite.

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Sounds good!

[@sherryboettcher9495]

Definitely try Sotto next visit. You will not regret!

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Will do!👍

[@manifestingjayde2539]

AGREE! My favorite restaurant in Cincinnati tied with Boca

[@danamckinney4387]

Yay!!!! You wasn’t far from me. I’m glad you liked it

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Me too! Sure was great!

[@alvaros.7721]

OMG, that veal Saltimboca, Polenta, the pasta and the view were my favorites, when I saw the veal Saltimboca I made the mistake of licking the computer screen and sadly, I didnt get too much of the taste. Thanks Jason for sharing

[@JasonWasTHERE]

So good! The best in my opinion, you must try it at least once! Next time.

[@cindya2610]

Great review!

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@josephsegarra4770]

Thank you for the video, will try next time i am in Cincinnati

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Please do! My pleasure

[@Gardeningathelake]

Smile Jason!! 😊😊😊

[@JasonWasTHERE]

😁

[@OrendaDyer-bv7kn]

We love the comments on the food. The dishes you picked looked amazing especially the veal marsal looked really always looking for a good veal marsal dish. That was an amazing session from Orenda and David 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤

[@JasonWasTHERE]

The best! “The food here is absolutely delicious! Every dish i tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection“

[@joshmatthewson7154]

Love these videos

Thanks for watching

[@pennywise5199]

Your waiter is excellent

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Absolutely

[@madelinethomasian9156]

Yum. Yum. Lucky. Jason. Can i come lol

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Haha!👍

[@hbee921]

Hey Jason, Great review. Food looks delicious. But great hearing what you like. Do you have a background in culinary field? You have such a vast knowledge of all types of foods. Rodizio Brazilian bbq would be a neat place for you to visit in Milwaukee.

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Hello, it sure was delicious. Well, I do enjoy traveling and experiencing new places, tasting new food along the way. Sounds good.

[@jakefleschLoveMorgan]

I live in Cincinnati!! When did you come? Did you visit hard rock or Larenceburg casino? Also Jason you need to try Jeff rubys steak house. It is In an old police station from the early 1900s. There is a bullet thru the window that they left there from way back in the day. A lot of celebrities have been there. It’s amazing food.

[@JasonWasTHERE]

I will check it out next time, thank you for the suggestion

[@monicaamofah1650]

Thanks for another fine dining experience ❤

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Any time!

[@anniefrommexico9496]

Love these videos!!! 🥰❤🥰

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Glad you like them!

[@daveinapetticrew5489]

AMAZING SERVER❤ I WOULD GIVE HIM A 10/10

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Yes! The service was top-notch! The staff is friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond! Overall great.

[@Christine-il8nm]

Shame I live in the UK we never get views like that ..Great review Jason thankyou ..

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Thanks for watching!

[@Xp34576]

Thanks for honest review 👍

[@JasonWasTHERE]

My pleasure 😊

[@athanasiaparker113]

Olive oil with out oregano and basil 🤔 thanks for sharing! Cheers 🍸

[@edharris8761]

Jason, how much does your mood affect the rating? As a long time watcher of Mr. Handpay, and an avid watcher of your food reviews from the beginning, I can see a bit of a trend. The food isn't so good when you have bags under your eyes and the tuft of hair is up. Likewise you lose your ass at slots when you have the same look. Your mood seemed off a bit in this one, so I'm left wondering. Love your stuff tho man! Thanks for the content and keep it coming!

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Hahaha. I couldn’t be too loud as there were lots of people close to me. I was good this evening. Just the camera angle!

[@daveinapetticrew5489]

I Feel Like i Get To Go Out To Dinner With You And Uncle Tony At Beautiful Restaurant's😉

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Anytime!😉

[@ChristineLowery-wr2uf]

The food looked amazing

[@JasonWasTHERE]

It was! Shrimp needed a bit more flavor, but overall the food was great!

[@ElizabethKenny-y2b]

Very good Jason but you seemed a bit distanced. Sending good vibes your way ☺️

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Not at all! Thanks though!

[@johnbonar8076]

Jason you should go back when you’re having a better day. Spectacular restaurant and your usual enthusiasm was missing.

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Not at all! It's been a great day so far! Definitely, I will be returning

[@abatude5879]

OMG Jason wish I could do a excellent meal with you people.

[@JasonWasTHERE]

😉

[@CrystalParanormally]

I know this is probably a stretch but if you are ever in Yoder Kansas make sure you go to a restaurant called Crossroads. It's Amish and everything is 100% made from scratch. Just across the road is a meat and deli market that is out of this world!

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Good to know! Thanks!👍

[@terrylilly4213]

I cant figure out why I'm always hungry after I watch your videos 😅

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Haha. Don't blame you

[@BennyBoomBoomslots]

You have to try Jeff Rubys Restaurant “The Precinct “

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@barbsanders2462]

Where did you gain culinary knowledge? Eating out, or do you have culinary training?

[@JasonWasTHERE]

I have gained a vast knowledge of taste by traveling from one place to another and trying new foods in between.

[@KyodyKel]

If I ever travel to Cincinnati, I’ll have to stop. Thank you for the review. 👍 Too bad about the tenderloin. That’s hard to screw up. The must not buy top grade. Shame. 👎

[@JasonWasTHERE]

It wasn’t a great cut of beef..

[@rogerrosen2323]

dennis in california cooked filet minon from costco at the back of a shelte homeless/r as he doses often from u tube channel good on a small grill

[@JasonWasTHERE]

@@rogerrosen2323 Sounds delicious

[@Barbarabarrick-sq2qe]

The waiter was excellent....he definitely was doing his job and then some!

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Absolutely!

[@susanparis8980]

Northern Italian my favorite

[@JasonWasTHERE]

👍

[@roseannasturtevant1860]

I agree with the different categories. So it’s really fair.

[@JasonWasTHERE]

I agree!

[@CanadaSlaw1234]

Hope someday i will get to meet you here in Canada's Capital City - Ottawa and review some of our World Class Restaurants!! Do a little gambling afterwards. Would be more than happy to show you around Jason! Am on a fixed income though... Isabella Pizza? OttawaMarc 🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Maybe one day!

[@AnthonyVoci-l9r]

Some of the discrepancies might evolve around the difference between northern&southern Italian foods&the way they are prepaired&cooked.

[@JasonWasTHERE]

I'm sure!

[@buddy36265]

Yes northern Italian is always "light and white" and southern is heavy and red.

[@mikebales8599]

You need to try Bacchanalia in Chicago on S Oakley Ave

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Maybe one day

[@jackiebell3189]

Looks very good

[@JasonWasTHERE]

It sure was!

[@KyodyKel]

Oh geez. I thought the table was covered in crumbs! 🤪 Nice view!

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Hahahaha, it was clean!

[@sandygilson1146]

Yes I enjoy hard crust and airy bread .. sourdough or Italian or French .. homemade pasta is the best!

[@JasonWasTHERE]

I totally agree!

[@johnjohnny6350]

I think the waiter was a chef before or a chef disguised as a waiter😂

[@JasonWasTHERE]

🤣

[@brendabinau1187]

You didn’t smile as much in this one. Was it the atmosphere?

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Cheese! 😁JK. Absolutely not, just savoring all the flavors

[@stellalynch6142]

Loved the waiter…..

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Our experience with him was truly exceptional!

[@susanparis8980]

The Italian food looked delicious I’m glad when they do not add a lot of salt I would give them4.5

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Yes, but the ravioli could use some flavor

[@jeffreygeorge219]

That Tshirt is legit.

[@JasonWasTHERE]

👍

[@michaelwirick1849]

If you come back to Cincy try Sotto. Downtown on 6th Street

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Maybe one day!

You had me at the bruschetta 🍞

Ok...something was off...either you were PO'D or maybe under the weather..Great review. appreciate your honesty

I was good. I didn’t want to be loud here. There were other people sitting close to us.

Cincy. Baby. Lets. Gooooo. Did u stop at Hatd. Rock. Or. Beltera ????????

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Yep, Belterra Casino!

Hi you, I think you should open your restaurant 😅

[@JasonWasTHERE]

No way! I’d never! I have too much going on. 😊

[@ramsongewargis8736]

Nice location, that's where most of the money is going

[@daveinapetticrew5489]

But Honestly..How Hard Would it be to Make there own Pasta and Bread?? At A Italian Restaurant..This is From A True Italian ❣️

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Well, yeah the bread was pretty dry! But, overall the food was great!

[@jessem.2807]

To be honest you're initial reactions to the service and tasting of the food seem accurate. The waiter seemed knowledgeable but his tone, inflections and somewhat fumbling around was par to the quality of food. I commend you on giving the generous four stars but I translate it to more like 3.5 stars.

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Honestly, overall, the food was delicious and the waiter was excellent. The shrimp could have used a little more flavor, but aside from that, the food was delicious.

[@tracyharris1739]

i like your shirt (bunny) who makes it?

[@JasonWasTHERE]

I was in town for the Kentucky Derby!

[@brianjodrey2288]

Jason it's not even close to being the best Italian restaurant in cincy. I would recommend the precinct for the best steak in the world by Jeff Rudy. Soto for Italian food is tge best in the city. I would not recommend Prima Vista.

[@JasonWasTHERE]

Very interesting… Thank you for this!

Agree, I live in Cincinnati as well....Nicola's downtown is excellent too

It informs everyone that gluten-free options are also available

usually its all good how bad can it be

What a great rumor! Lol

[@aces7515]

I like they bring the food to your table nice and hot.

Haha! Whenever I use a camera to record, George is my go-to guy!

[@John_Wick..959]

Next time make the gluten free person sit at a different table. You literally asked for gluten free like 5 different times.

[@Wickedlaughter2222]

I'm pretty sure that was his wife. Other videos she's been in she orders gluten free

[@JasonWasTHERE]

There was just an option given that gluten-free options were available at the restaurant

Enjoying food and sharing that passion is what makes dining experiences special. Everyone has their own perspective, whether as a critic or simply as someone who loves to eat. But, thanks for your feedback!
