Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We had actually booked a different Italian restaurant for dinner but spotted Prima as we were walking around, looked at their menu and decided to cancel where we’d booked and eat here. We just had a main course each and a bottle of wine, both...of which were very good. As I had clams, it would have been nice to have had a bowl for the empty shells instead of having to put them on the table cloth, a finger bowl would have been handy too. Service on the whole was very good, apart from the afore mentioned missing items. The ambience was really good and we were surprised at how busy it was for a Monday evening. Good value for money and we would eat here again should we return to Ripon.More

Beautiful little restaurant. Loved everything about it. Was looking for a place for dinner in Ripon and came across this real treasure of a place. Absolutely wonderful and my new favourite. The girls they’re all so friendly , engaging and attentive and the food was...just delicious, stunning in a way that we won’t forget. I had the farfalle with peas, asparagus and courgette in pesto cream sauce and my sister had the pomodoro. We also shared garlic bread with mozzarella , chips and a side salad. It was everything you could possibly want and more. Such a gorgeous place with a wonderful atmosphere. We will be back again and again. Thank you so much for a really lovely evening. Just loved it xxxMore

We must be getting too predictable in our old age. We keep choosing the same restaurant in Ripon & pretty well the same meal each time. Upteen visits often with our children & grandchildren, which must make us experts at giving a review 😇. Real...skill in the kitchen demonstrated by a light tempura batter coating the calamari, a pizza base that has deep flavour confirmed by my family, who normally leave the crust. Give it a try.More

We visited for the early bird menu before going to an event. We didn't have a reservation, and it was busy, but they squeezed us in. The food was fantastic and very reasonably priced. We will be back!

I don’t know why we keep coming and this will be our last visit. Service isn’t good. We had to wait 25 minutes for our reserved table. Although to give the manager credit she offered us complimentary starter whilst we waited. Once served we had...our order taken, checked on once then plates removed swiftly. After that there was no service. We weren’t offered dessert menu, more drinks or coffee. Braised lamb wasn’t braised, it was a bit dry and chewy. This restaurant used to be thee place to go in Ripon but for the past 4/5 visits, service has been under par. One visit our plates were left in front of us for 40 minutes before they were cleared, and although we tried to get the attention of the staff, they seem more preoccupied with drying cutlery than actually servicing during opening hours.More

As fairly regular diners we were curious to see the new look restaurant. Superb food as always - excellent choices and value. However we felt the lighting was a little too bright and abundance of pink and white artificial flowers rather garish. Sadly it seems...to us to have lost some of its cosy Italian ambience.More

Another lovely evening in Prima Pizzeria last night. Warm, welcoming and romantic. The team are so welcoming and helpful. Consistently spot on food and good wine. The lasagna and risotto calabrese.. just amazing! beautifully cooked and presented. So good to have a default local restaurant...as good as this. Just lovely.More
