Boston | The stunning Italian steakhouse Prima

🥩 Prima Italian Steakhouse: Boston’s Festive Gem—Steak, Pasta, and a Hidden Rose-Filled Haven Birthdays (and holidays) call for something special, and this new Charlestown spot delivers. A stone’s throw from TD Garden, Prima blends creative Italian cuisine with classic steakhouse flair—all wrapped in stunning Christmas vibes. Think twinkling lights, garlands, and a showstopping tree that makes every meal feel like a celebration. But the real magic? A hidden garden (cabin) tucked behind the dining room: quiet, lined with roses, and home to a cozy bar—perfect for intimate moments. 🌟 The Dishes That Shine Ribeye (Brandt Beef, Boneless) 🥩 Steak perfection. Cooked to a flawless medium-rare, the meat is tender, juicy, and rich with just the right amount of marbling. Each bite tastes subtly sweet, with a crust that’s crispy but not charred. Served with a wedge of lemon to cut through the richness, it’s easily one of Boston’s standout steaks. Spicy Pici 🌶️ A pasta revelation. Thick, hand-pulled pasta (think “hefty spaghetti”) tossed in a creamy, spicy sauce with a hint of mint—yes, mint. It’s bold, unexpected, and addictive: the heat balances the cream, the mint adds brightness, and the pasta’s chewy texture holds every drop of sauce. A must-try for pasta lovers. Mushroom Carpaccio 🍄 An elegant starter. Thinly sliced mushrooms piled high, topped with crispy breadcrumbs and a rich red wine sauce. It’s earthy, tangy, and light enough to whet your appetite without filling you up—perfect before a steak. 🍷 Drinks & Ambiance Wine List: The dining room’s cabernet is a standout—bold enough to stand up to the ribeye, with smooth, fruity notes. Hidden Bar Treat: Head to the rose-filled cabin for an Espresso Martini—it’s creamy, caffeinated, and the ideal post-dinner sipper. Vibe: Festive (especially in December) but never over-the-top. The main room buzzes with energy, while the garden cabin offers quiet romance—great for dates or small groups. Prima isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. Whether you’re here for the steak, the pasta, or the holiday magic, it’s a Charlestown gem worth dressing up for. 📍 Prima Italian Steakhouse 10 City Square, Charlestown, MA 02129 (near TD Garden) #CharlestownEats #BostonSteakhouse #HolidayDining
