The Primavera Pub is a tiny restaurant in Hartford known for treating its customers like family, not to mention its old fashion Portuguese cooking. Enjoy a full, delicious meal or just stop by for a few drinks at Primavera’s full bar; either way, you are sure to enjoy the cozy, warm, friendly environment. There is a lot of fish on the menu, including shrimp, grilled squid, and grilled codfish. As you might guess, the pasta primavera is a favorite amongst regulars. Another favorite meal is the Picadinho, a Portuguese dish consisting mostly of beef and pork, with the option of including shrimp. The prices are very reasonable considering the generous portions. With great food, a quiet setting, and an outgoing staff, the Primavera is a tremendous place to enjoy a quiet meal without any distractions.
