Primo Bistro and Wine Bar

Has anyone tried this special,,, saw a review online, looks interesting... it's not a buffet, but cooked to order portions off the menu it looks like.

This is the one outside the Jomtien complex near the Bar that has the singing band?

Here's what the review said:

 

Trying out the all-you-can-eat pizza and pasta

Review in real time

 

I’ve started out with the ravioli, Caesar salad and garlic bread

 

The Caesar salad is pretty good. I’m pretty sure it actually has anchovies. I can taste them.

 

 it’s all you can eat not buffet so you have to wait for every order. So you really have to be patient because your food doesn’t come very quickly. It’s been a good 15 or 20 minutes now still waiting for my first main course. (It got much better on future orders)

 

Garlic bread arrived. I’m realizing this probably isn’t a place you want to come alone. (My 38kg wife is here just as an observer having mango juice). bring a friend and you can share the starters. Kind of big portions for one person.

 

ravioli in pesto arrived. This is obviously far better quality than you’d get at some kind of buffet.

 

I finished off the ravioli in short order and ordered the lasagna. Luckily, the wait for the lasagna wasn’t nearly as long as for the ravioli to start. But these are full of portions so well again mentioned that it would be better if you bring a friend and you share everything.

 

Let’s hope I can finish this off and go for one more order before. I’ll definitely be done.

 

Lasagna has been defeated, but now I’m at a crossroads. If I eat any more, it will literally make me uncomfortable that a lot of of diminishing returns where the line has now crossed.

 

I’ve definitely had some good food and I feel like I’ve definitely got my money is worth. Do I proceed and be a glutton and order one more thing?

 

I’ll have penne with sausage. I’m sure I’ll regret it…

 

I would try the pizza, but I’m afraid it will be a full-size pizza and I can’t finish it.

 

I keep repeating myself, but again come with a friend or even a couple of friends and order the food and share it. You can order several mains at a time.

 

Yeah, this is going to be a struggle to finish. But it is quite good. They gladly gave me a little bit extra Parmesan cheese. But this is my third full entrée and I’m really struggling to finish…

 

 The good news is after the long delay for the first entrée of ravioli. The next two mains came out quite quickly must’ve been just busy in the kitchen at that time.

 

This meal has defeated me. I’d love to try the pizza and the salmon Alfredo fettuccine but there’s no way I could eat another bite. I’m already going to be regretting that sausage penne for several hours ha ha ha ha

 

But this is well worth your time and money far better than a normal buffet

I don't think you can bring a friend or friends to share the food for the price of one person, can you? Reminds me of the balloon chasers of Sunee Plaza - a hot topic on the old forums. Or the farang who brought his own teabag and asked for hot water at a restaurant. Or the one who brought plastic bags to bring home food from a free buffet or had extra deep pockets in his shorts for stuffing food. Pattaya is truly a case of Ripley's Believe It or Not.

I think he was talking about bringing someone to share the big portions then you both, or more could sample more variety... not the cost, each person would pay their 399 thb.

I'd ask for smaller portions if I was alone.
