Primavera Ristorante in Cheltenham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A delightful restaurant, amazing attentive staff, pristine laid tables, food as always fantastic , book in advance it’s always well frequented.

Had another highly enjoyable evening meal here tonight. The quality of the food is always high and prices haven’t changed for a few years now. A regular favourite of ours for an affordable light supper with drinks and high value for money. Everyone is very friendly and accommodating of our needs.

The prefect little Italian restaurant! Everything was delicious and felt very authentic and cooked with care and passion. We’ll definitely be back!

Very good Italian restaurant. Had two meals here during our stay in Cheltenham. Delicious food, great service, highly recommend.

Took the family for a birthday meal. The food is nice, not amazing, just nice, it is expensive for what you receive. The service was good. The atmosphere was okay.

Since moving out of Cheltenham we haven’t managed to visit this gem of a restaurant, but visiting family recently we made an effort to book in, and I’m so glad we did. Tucked at the top of Montpellier in between two other food outlets, this Italian delivers on service, quality and where most lack, passion. Whether you choose pasta, fish or meat, everything is cooked on site, to order. Sauces bursting with flavour washed down with a wine list to suit every course and budget. However, the star on the menu is a Tiramisu that is a sublime cloud of a dessert. With outside seating this is a treat on its own with a good coffee any time of day.

Seven of us ate her just over a month ago. The food was delicious, everyone enjoyed. I would say it was the best risotto I have ever had! Staff and service was excellent. Can't wait to go again.

Found this restaurant from trip advisor reviews. A small and compact restaurant. Excellent food and reasonably priced menu and drinks. Would use this place again.

We have been to the restaurant 4 times over the last few years and have always had excellent food and service. For us it is the first place we book when we visit Cheltenham.

Ate here last night, food was excellent, I had the beef stroganoff and my wife had the carbonara, both excellent, try the tiramisu it was fantastic!!

Fabulous dinner. Delicious food, excellent wine and first class service. We shared a starter and had a pasta and a chicken main course, both of which were outstanding. Portions were perfect and the accompanying salad first rate. We loved it

Superb food and wonderful service. Would definitely recommend!

Absolutely wonderful. Loved everything that we ordered. The restaurant has some outdoor seating area, so we sat outside during the golden hour. The service was excellent too! Highly recommended. Thank you.

One of the best Italian restaurants in Cheltenham. Julian and Andreea provide a fantastic and welcoming service. The food is fresh, tasty and authentic Italian. Highly recommend.

Came here last night with my coworkers. The staff were very patient even as we changed and messed up our order several times. We all loved the garlic bread, and I only wish that the goat's cheese and mushroom dish was bigger! The nibbles and starters are on the expensive side but it's well worth it for the quality of the dishes.

Very good food and well presented. Lovely staff as well 😀 Bravi ragazzi😉

Lovely food and nice cosy little restaurant. Very relaxed atmosphere and ideal for a leisurely evening meal. We were visiting and this place was recommended by high ratings and if you are looking for a beautiful Italian then this is the ideal place. The chocolate brownie is amazing!! The menu also states that they have gluten free pasta available so that is worthwhile if you need to know!

Fantastic restaurant, brilliant food and lovely staff. Would certainly visit again if in the area.

Another brilliant meal at this restaurant during our stay in Cheltenham. Food was lovely as always, and you can tell the chef takes pride in what he sends out. The only down side was being charged £10.95 😡😡 for 620ml bottle of peroni I'm glad I only had the one. That's the most I've ever been charged for a peroni and if I had been told how much it was I wouldn't have had it . Tesco and asda three bottles of peroni for £6 !!! Just be warned ⚠️ 🤣

One of the best restaurants in town, great food and great service!

Excellent food, impeccable service.

Really nice food and quality, top service

Visited on Mother’s Day and we were all very impressed. The food was 5 star on every level and so was the service. I would highly recommend and will go back the next time I visit Cheltenham.

I strongly recommend Primavera Ristorante as we had a fabulous experience. This small restaurant is family run and authentic. The food is superb, it reminded me of traditional, homemade cuisine. The service is warm, friendly attentive, efficient and I can go on.. Although it was very busy they made time to talk to us, we ended up having a few interesting chats. One of the chats was about a famous actress that we spotted in the restaurant sitting next to us. If you are in Cheltenham this is the place to have a delicious, authentic meal, where you will be warmly welcomed and who knows you might be dinning next to a famous person

Following the Tripadvisor ratings, we booked into this restaurant and we were certainly not disappointed. Smart & clean in appearance, with a very friendly welcome from the Chef/Patron, we were the first to arrive for lunch at 12;20 and we were soon followed by other diners, making a great atmosphere. We chose a la carte and had 3 courses, both my Wife & I opting for Fish based mains, Linguine Marinara for my Wife and my choice was Fish Saffron Risotto. Both were delicious and with the Wine menu being varied and conservative in price too ! Emotivo - Montepulciano D'Abruzzo - Yum! I would definitely recommend Primavera Ristorante as a very good value for the money, which was mid-range, with an excellent fixed menu option to. We will definitely be returning.

The food and service was amazing. Would highly recommend.

Food was very nice, plenty of choice. Drinks were good, and the service was great. Couldn’t ask for any more. Wonderful experience. Would highly recommend.

Don't listen to any reviews less than 3 stars on this place - excellent service and the food was incredible. Great atmosphere, can't fault it!

The Queens Hotel reception recommended. We arrived just before 2pm, warmly received and given a good table. Food and service excellent. I had seafood linguini slightly hotter plenty of seafood and perfect linguini spicy as per my request. Gill had mushroom risotto. Best linguini I have had with plate left empty. Gill loved the Risotto. We had bottle of house white which suited the meals. Restuarant not a chain so had character and team knowledgeable about the food and wine.

Food and service was amazing. Nice to go somewhere with a table cloth. Small, busy restaurant (must book) ...only 4 stars as something missing with decor/ambience to make 5 star...maybe a bit too bland, hard and bright?

Lovely food but attitude of host spoilt it. We felt unwelcome from the moment we stepped in. Told that we had to ‘hurry and get our food order in as kitchen closing’ although we were in and sat down at 9.10 and last orders was 10. Explicitly Asked for garlic bread as starter to come first but had not got half way through it before they brought main course. Again we were hurried, asked if we were finished although my clearly I had half a plate of pasta stil left and my spoon and fork not closed. Did not ask for the bill, were given it. A very negative dining experience made worse by the cold unfriendly service. I did contact the restaurant direct to feedback but got a statutory reply that they would investigate it. Obviously they never bothered contacting me after that. They had automatically put 12.5 percent service in our bill. Usually I am happy to pay. But this was unwarranted and a cheek but I felt so harassed to get out we paid it. Will never go back again nor recommend the place. I can get nice food and nice service elsewhere

Food was amazing.But when my friend asked for a mug of hot water.She was charged for it.I think this is outrageous .It has actually put us off going back.

What a gem of a place, visited for my wife’s birthday with our son, and the food, wine and service was simply outstanding - thank you so much

Excellent food and service at this authentic Italian restaurant in Montpellier, Cheltenham. We visited for lunchtime service and were delighted with everything. Service attentive but not intrusive, food tasty and well presented, atmosphere warm and welcoming. Will visit again very soon!

Wow! Delicious food, brilliant service. Thank you for very nice evening!!! 😍

Great Italian food, possibly the best pasta dish I've ever eaten! Lovely staff and great location 👍

Six of us went to Primavera for my father's 80th birthday in the first week of January. Before the meal, I popped into the restaurant to check whether it would be OK to drop a birthday cake round to surprise him with, and they very kindly obliged. On the day, we all ate from the 2-course/3-course lunch menu, which was very well-priced and full of choices. Usually, when there's a lunch deal, the choices are limited, but not the case here. I had the crispy whitebait to start and the Chicken Milanese with a side of chips for main, and both courses were delicious. My 6-year-old niece loved her pasta and pizza, and my parents, sister and brother-in-law all loved their food. No crumbs were left! The lovely waitress brought out the birthday cake with the candles and sparklers lit, which was a great surprise for my dad, and then we had some delicious coffee to finish. The meal went perfectly: the service was outstanding: the staff were so helpful, warm and friendly, the food was excellent, and the atmosphere was lovely and cosy. Would highly recommend Primavera if you're planning a birthday meal!

Never been to this restaurant and not to an Italian for an awful long time but was invited to join friends for a birthday meal and from the moment we arrived the staff were very attentive despite the fact it was a Friday night at the peak of Christmas party time. The menu was nice to choose from not over the top but some great Italian dishes and all 4 of us had great meals with the dessert being the best Tiramisu (home made) that I have ever had so thank you to the staff for giving my friend a lovely birthday to remember

This restaurant was full on the first Saturday after Christmas and we can see why! The food, the service and value for money was exceptional. We were a party of 8 people and we all had different dishes. Every one of us could not find fault with our meal, beautifully presented, and tasted wonderful. We can't wait to return.

This is probably the best Italian restaurant in Cheltenham. Highly recommended.

Went in excited for an authentic Italian cuisine, came out disappointed. Cream in carbonara, liquidy tomato sauce in linguine, and baguette in bread basket with gaping holes.

Great food and service, would definitely eat here again.

Great little restaurant, not only would i go there again i have been 3 times and will go again. Just a few pounds more than the chain Italian restaurants but miles better.

Great independent Italian, excellent food and wine and efficient service.

Food and service excellent, but very noisy with 3 large groups on other tables.

Fabulous food and service at Primavera. They somehow keep the high standard up all year round. Always tastes very fresh and I had a fabulous carbonara last week. Reasonable prices.

Met with friends, and had a great meal, food delicious, great surroundings and very good value!

Visited with two friends for lunch and really enjoyed the meal. Great menu! Started with calamari and garlic bread to share, then different pasta or risotto dishes. All excellent. Lovely atmosphere and good service. Decent wine. Would go back and will certainly recommend to friends.

An exceptional dining experience! The ambiance was charming, such a cozy restaurant! The service impeccable, and the food was so good! The wine selection complemented the meal perfectly. A must-visit for anyone seeking a true taste of Italy in every bite. All the best!

Excellent menu choice with very friendly service. Nice position in the Montpellier area and a very relaxed atmosphere

Very busy, food was nice but felt they were rushed off their feet.

Lovely little restaurant. Small and cosy with friendly staff who made us feel very welcome. We had wine and pasta with a limoncello to finish and it was all so so so delicious. Although we didn’t order that much and the restaurant doesn’t have many tables we were never made to feel rushed. Thank you!!

Came With my friend for quick dinner, restaurant is small, but very cosy. Had a bottle of wine, main and some bread with it. Pasta was perfectly cooked and portion size was just perfect. We finished the evening with shot of limoncello each which was...

Great service and great food. Best Italian in Cheltenham. Definitely going to be coming more often and have highly recommended to friends.

Been eating at Primavera for nearly two years. A favourite in town. The food is always excellent and Ana Maria is the best restauranter around. Highly recommend!

Very enjoyable meal, good ambience, menu and service. Nice to visit a family run Italian although the menu was a little limited the options were Suoer and we both enjoyed our choices

My husband and I went for dinner to this restaurant and the whole experience was amazing. Delicious food in an elegant environment, prompt and impeccable service, hospitable staff, a really nice atmosphere. We really loved the food and would recommend this restaurant to everyone. Claudia

Fantastic meal with my family. Pizza dough was perfect, pasta was fresh, arguably the best Italian in Gloucestershire, let alone Cheltenham.

Brilliant food! Our first visit, service was great and staff were friendly. Food was superb, fantastic flavours, brought out lovely and hot and perfect portion size. Will definitely be back again Mrs Y

We decided to try Primavera for the first time and we were delighted that we did. It is a cosy restaurant with great views of Montpellier. The staff were welcoming and very attentive. We had whitebait and calamari to start with. Both were tasty and...

Really lovely independent Italian restaurant. Food was lovely

A really good place. Throughly good tasting food. I would recommend the fish stew. Starters were of high quality that I ordered as was my wife's. I will be back in the near future.

Traditional Italian restaurant with lovely staff and wonderful fresh food.

Superb food! Our first visit there, service was excellent and staff were friendly and attentive. Food was superb, fantastic flavours, brought out lovely and hot and the tastes were fab. Desserts were amazing and the wine was chilled and lovely.

It is very rare to find a restaurant where everything on the menu is delicious, but Primavera is one of them! The pizza is the best you can find in Cheltenham. The prices are very reasonable. The staff are very friendly and polite. The ambience is relaxing. It is our favourite place for dinner and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Delicious food, had chicken risotto and chicken salad dish. The mussels were also tasty. Had a great bottle of white wine, can’t remember the name but it was easy to drink and good value. Seemed a little short staffed. Affogato is excellent. Definitely need to...

Lovely little gem in Cheltenham. Great food, great service in a lovely building. Would come back here for sure as the best Italian we have had in Cheltenham

We booked in advance and requested a specific table as it was an occasion the restaurant honoured our request and we had the table of our choice. The meal was excellent and the service was faultless. Thank you again we will return.

I visited recently with my grandfather who has hearing difficulties, the staff were accomodating and had no issues repeating questions or explanations as necessary. Service was fast, but didn't feel rushed. The food overall was (on this occaision) and has been (on many previous visits) utterly fantastic and rivals the best italian resturants I have been to outside of Italy. Portion sizes are just right, leaving you feeling full and still a good value for the price. The Arancini are a must have, definitely the best I have had anywhere in the world topping several resturants in Italy.

A gem of a restaurant. Delicious food and great service. Highly recommended and will definitely visit again.

New to Cheltenham, and we weren't disappointed. The food and service were both amazing. Staff were very attentive and we will certainly be re-visiting soon. Thanks team. See you soon 🫶

Food was excellent and service, friendly staff and excellent quality food 👌

Great food served by lovely staff. One of the best seafood pizzas I have ever had.

We visited with family on the 9th September and had a great time. We were seated upstairs due to the size of our group, and were well looked after by our waitress. Garlic bread starters were amazing-try the mozzarella one! Main courses were all really good and great portion sizes. My husband particularly liked his linguine which was a recommendation-the best prawns he’s had for a long time apparently! Lovely service as well made it a great night. (Apologies that my nephew got a bit loud and over excited…)

We enjoyed a fantastic meal, served very efficiently by lovely staff. One of the nicest seafood pizzas I have ever had. Will definitely return if we are in Cheltenham in the future.

They work hard here to ensure that everything is perfect and our meal on Friday evening was certainly that. We sat outside on the hottest day of the year and enjoyed the views of old Montpellier. Garlic bread with tomato and Mozzarella was Pizza style and delicious. Mains of the most perfect, piping hot cannelloni, Seafood Linguine and Pasta parcels with Tomato Sauce were all brilliantly executed. Service as always was exceptional and the prices very reasonable indeed. If you live in Cheltenham or are visiting I cannot recommend Primavera highly enough. Well done everybody you have one of Cheltenhams nicest eateries

We spotted this restaurant tonight while strolling around Cheltenham on our first night here, we hadn’t booked but they had tables inside, the outside seating was full with it being such a warm evening. There was a lovely atmosphere and the lady who looked after us was perfect, attentive but didn’t pester us. The food was delicious, I had the best carbonara outside of Italy that I’ve ever eaten. My husband had bruschetta followed by seafood linguine and that was packed with seafood and loads of muscles. What a gem of a restaurant, very reasonably priced, authentic food and great service. I just wish we’d had room for dessert.

Food was incredibly poor - little to no taste for 2 x main meals. An offer was made to remove the 1 from the bill and reduce the other by 20%. On discussion of this we were told that if we didn’t pay the remaining...

Very tasty food,great service,worth a visit

After reading the reviews I was intrigued to experience this restaurant. What a lovely evening we had! The location is fantastic and the food out of this world. This is a family owned restaurant and the pride and passion that the owners have really shines...

Fabulous Italian A big thank you to the person who accommodated us for a Friday booking. Fabulous fresh great tasting food. Hats off to the chef. Lovely friendly service. This place is a real Italian jewel

Great food, lovely service. We we’re gratefully accommodated at short notice for a booking. There is a really good vegetarian selection. The food is freshly prepared and tasted amazing. Thank you for a lovely meal.

Excellent food and attentive service

Lovely authentic Italian family ran, would love to have a restaurant like this near us back at home in Suffolk. Give it a go

The food was amazing! Would highly recommend a visit! Delicious!!!

A lovely evening spent with friends, good food, and good friendly service from our lovely waitress, a must place to return to.

I am a pizza connoisseur. Travelled around Italy and world. Best pizza I have ever eaten, insanely brilliant pizza

The fact that the restaurant was fully booked on a Tuesday night says everything. The food was tasty and well cooked. I am really struggling to find fault. It's definitely a place to return but booking a table is advised!

Exceptional food, service and staff. Definitely would come back again. Perfect place for lovers of Italian food. A perfect meal.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant. Fabulous food, five star service, highly recommended. We will definitely be back.

Great authentic food and friendly service. We can only say our visit was a very pleasant experience. Our food was fresh and cooked by fabulous people. They really cared about the quality of their work. We have booked again to visit tomorrow, sea food looked...

Excellent meal and service! We were ready for some Italian cuisine and this was a wonderful find! Cheltenham has some good options when you tire of pub food.

Excellent Italian food. The pasta & salads were delicious. The service was extremely hospitable . The upstairs dining room is warm & comfortable .

A great venue for a casual ,leisurely meal.The food was perfectly cooked and presented and nothing was too much trouble.

Exceptional from beginning to end. Food, service and ambience excellent.

UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE I am so very sad & disappointed that an honest review by a family member below has resulted in such an awful response by the chef at this restaurant. The reply is a testament to how you & 1 other in the team...
