Primo! Ristorante
Walking into a favorite restaurant can feel as good as walking into your grandmother’s house on a late Sunday afternoon. You know that even before your feet cross over the threshold into her beloved kitchen, you have a pretty good idea of what is on the menu for supper. You had that part down when you entered her house, even before as you got out of your car. Little wafts of…..hmm, what is that? Garlic? Parmesan? Roasted veal? Or maybe a fragrant combination of all three, so heady and distracting that your only thought now is wondering how long you must wait to taste what grandmother is cooking. Walking into your favorite restaurant can do that to you – – take you somewhere comfortable and delicious. And just like the treasured meals and memories made there, the people who work inside will make you want to return, again and again. Your favorite restaurant, aside from tantalizing your taste buds, always has that “special” person that you can count on for a friendly “hello” and heartfelt concern that you are enjoying your meal and time there. For countless Sarasota and Bradenton residents, and far beyond, Primo! Ristorante provides that “feels good, smells great, best Italian food ever, walking into grandma’s home” type of ambiance.

Primo! Ristorante is proud to be one of the founding members of the International Barter Exchange. The management team cannot say enough about the countless relationships that have been forged as a result of IBE. Some of their devoted “regulars” at the restaurant discovered Primo! Ristorante through QR Certificates. These same individuals are not only customers, but have become friends of the restaurant, which is an added perk of a well-run barter system. The folks at Primo! Ristorante are proud to say they see many diners each week as a result of IBE. In turn, they utilize the services of fellow IBE businesses for air conditioning repairs and maintenance issues around the restaurant. IBE and Primo! Ristorante is an enviable match, but also attainable by any business making the money-saving decision to join International Barter Exchange today.
