Call me crazy, but I sure love me some frozen treats even though "fall" has supposedly arrived. You already know I have the biggest sweet tooth, so frozen treats are the best any time of the year, even in the freezing winter weather.
After having brunch at Egg Harbor Cafe, I drove around the area looking for something to satisfy my sweet tooth. Wanting to try something new, I recently found out about a new Italian ice store that opened in the area not too long ago, so I thought it was the perfect place to satisfy my craving.
Let's get started:
❀Primo's Exterior
❀Primo's Interior
❀Italian Ice-scoop of watermelon, scoop of cookies and cream/Oreo
❀FOOD (3.5/5): The prices were just okay, especially in this area. The small was $2.50, medium was $3.50 and so on and so forth. I believe the one I purchased was the medium, but it could have been the small, I don't really remember. The two flavors I chose are some of my favorite flavors, especially since watermelon is my favorite fruit and anything Oreos flavored is a winner in my book. I really enjoyed the texture, it was cold, but not to the point of icy (literal ice pieces), and was incredibly smooth and almost creamy-like because of how smooth it was. I really liked that the flavors melted in your mouth, it was really refreshing. Although I would've liked the watermelon flavoring to be a little stronger, it was still tasty nonetheless. The cookies and cream flavor was my favorite of the two-Primo definitely hit it spot on the creaminess, but not making it similar to ice cream. Nice large pieces of Oreos throughout their Italian ice was a big two thumbs up for me. With the 20+ flavors they offer, I'll definitely be stopping by more often to give their other flavors a taste since they all looked so tempting. With all the other dessert places in John's Creek/Duluth, I wish their portion sizes were a bit larger though and that their flavors packed more of a punch to them.
❀SERVICE (N/A): The gentleman at the counter was kind and offered me quite a few samples before I made my selection, especially since it was my first time here. He also recommended some of their most popular flavors and other information about their store and was helpful. That was pretty much about all the service I received.
❀DECOR (4/5): The interior was very spacious and welcoming-I especially enjoyed the openness of the area. There are plenty of tables and chairs both indoors and outdoors, making it easy for families and friends to stop by. In addition, the walls are painted the colors of the Italian flag, which I thought was a really cute touch, and all the flavors of the day are all handwritten on boards with neon pens, it's so much fun. The only downside really was the long, metallic silver ice bar, which extended from one wall all the way to the register. It was sort of tacky, which is the reason for taking away one star, but if they were to change it all black to give their interior a more sophisticated and smooth appeal, they would have definitely deserved a perfect rating.
Overall, I really enjoyed Primo's. I grew up those little Luigi's and Minute Maid "Italian" ices, but none of those can compare to the real deal Italian ices, similar to those I found here. Also, with so many flavors to choose from and with the option of being able to mix and match so many of them, you're bound to find a flavor you'll enjoy! :)
Thanks for stopping by,
