About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Neighbourhood gem
Primavera has known many lives as both restaurant and residence. Originally built by a member of the Purdy family, one of the original settlers in the area, it was also known as the 1864 House, so named for its date of construction. Although the building has been renovated several times, the bones of the house are still recognizable, especially as one looks up to the charming garret, whose flat roof, sometimes called a widow’s walk, often served as an observation platform.

Mona Trattoria, a family-operated Italian restaurant that operated for some 30 years, followed after the home was converted to a restaurant. In 2002, actor Stanley Tucci bought it and renamed it Finch Tavern, renovating it with dark wood shutters and soft yellow banquettes that feel fresh today. In 2006, Jimmy Gjevukaj and his family took over the premises and relaunched the restaurant as Primavera, continuing the tradition of fine Italian dining in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

    Despite several bad reviews I was pleasantly surprised with the overall experience. A very diverse and versatile menu with plenty of variety, excellent service, oh, and excellent food! The price point was very reasonable as well. My seabass was extremely fresh and the I loved the potatoes it came with. Our grilled calamari was delicious. Their wine list is great and the price points were very reasonable. Looking forward to returning for our next meal. Bravo!

    The staff was lovely, and the room was too. However, the good really left a lot to be desired. If I’m spending $42 on a plate of pasta with six small shrimp, it had better be banging and this simply was not. Nor was my partner’s bolognese. The pasta fagiola soup was by far the best menu item, sadly. I don’t believe we’d hurry back.

    The food was delicious with fresh ingredients. The staff were very friendly with smiles. It was not busy when we were there so it was very comfortable eating environment, not noisy at all. The decor is very pleasant.

    This is our first visit and we will be back. It’s a beautiful restaurant, warm and historic which we love. My salmon was excellent and my husband’s steak was perfect. My only request is an addition of one or two NA wines. Quality NA wines are out there and would give those of us non-drinkers a nice option to go with a really great meal. Overall, Primavera was an excellent choice!

    We opted for an early dinner to accommodate my 5 year old granddaughter and we were happy we did. The service was wonderful and friendly. The food, as usual, was excellent.
