Bar Primi, Italian Style Pasta Shop Between NoHo and East Village at No. 325 Bowery

[weinoo]

Bar Primi is Andrew Carmellini and friends' new "hot spot" (per eater, it's a hot spot, but how it can be a hot spot before it even opened I'll never know) on Bowery. Bowery is the place to open new restaurants, evidently.

Walk-ins - they'll take ressies for 6 - how refreshing!

Anyway, snark aside, a friend and I walked in the other night and grabbed 2 seats at the bar.  Nicely made Negronis and Martinis were had.

2 apps - baked clams (4 for $12!) were just okay, but the stuffed meatballs were delicious.

2 pastas - it's a pasta place after all - were great.  AC has always been good at pasta.

Should be a major shitshow. Or, as eater likes to call it, a hot spot.
