Luxury Dining at Grande Lakes

Primo's design celebrates Chef Melissa Kelly's Puglian heritage and combines sensibilities within the space. The design brings forth Chef Kelly's notion of being stewards of the land reinforcing the interconnectedness with what nature offers. "It is an honor for JW Marriott to partner with Melissa Kelly since 2003 when Grande Lakes Orlando opened. Melissa started farm-to-table before it became a trend, her vision inspired us to build Whisper Creek Farm to enable us to infuse the highest quality ingredients into our dishes. We are thrilled to unveil the new rustic Mediterranean décor."

By far one of the best Italian restaurants I've ever been to. It's located inside the JW Marriott so when we are in the Orlando area I make some time to visit Primo. Everyone is so pleasant and treat you like VIPs. The hostess remembers your name and the waiter knows the menu in and out. I like to order one item form each section of the menu: appetizer, salad, pizza, primo, second and of course the dessert. Whatever we can't finish we take it and makes for a great left over meal. The cocktails are great too. Excellent restaurant!

The service and the food are both spot on and could not be better. I have eaten at Primo at least 5+ times and never had a bad meal or poor service. I can say with all honesty this is my favorite restaurant in Florida and in my top 10 in North America.

This place was incredible, a true dining experience. Our waiter, Jody, was clearly SO passionate about the food and the process (everything grown on-site or local) and made sure my coworker and I had a great time. Super friendly, helpful and we were well-attended to. The food is just impeccably fresh, the dishes are innovative yet familiar and unbelievably delicious. Seriously, don't miss a minute - go appetizer, meal, dessert. You won't regret it! If I'm ever back in Orlando, a reservation at Primo will be first on my "to-do list.
