PRIMI Pretoria is situated in the leafy Menlyn Precinct in Waterkloof Glen Shopping Centre.
The menu is inspired by classic Italian food but is heavily influenced by the cosmopolitan present with traditional, gourmet and comfort food offerings.
The dynamic, unpretentious atmosphere at PRIMI works for both serious business talk and for social chit chat, and for everything in-between.
