This sleek spot has a massive bar and a vibe of constant energy. At Primitivo, tapas specialties evolve from traditional Spanish into an array of Mediterranean flavors including herb-crusted rack of lamb and lightly fried calamari cooked in olive oil.

The rear outdoor patio, which takes over the space of the adjacent Meditrina Cafe on weekend/busy evenings, is a good option if you want a little fresh air.

Editorial Reviews from the web

Forget the name: This stylish tapas joint on Abbot Kinney's restaurant row serves artfully crafted fare that's far from primitive.

On any weekend night, try getting a table without a reservation at this crammed Mediterranean wine bistro and chances are you'll be waiting a mighty long time. Sure, the boisterous Euro-style shabby chic vibe is a draw, what with the billowy linen curtains, larger-than-life oil paintings, rustic wooden tables and elbow-rubbing crowd. But the real reason the hoardes of yuppies, scenesters,... more

Small n' lively outdoor gazebo next to flowering nursery and classic Joe's for hot n' cold tapas heaven. Older, smarter crowd under chandelier lighting and command of younger hotter staff. Stuffed zucchini blossoms, lamb chops, steak Carpaccio, oysters, and braised short ribs among killer small plates. Sixty five wines by glass; total of 185 vinos—chug China's Hua Xia cabernet while welcoming... more

This Mediterranean wine bistro has a West Coast shabby-chic vibe, complete with billowy linen drapes, rustic wooden tables and boisterous, hip diners. The tapas menu features both cold (ranging from antipasto to an assortment of olives) and hot (including duck leg confit and braised beef short ribs) varieties. Other dishes include chorizo-stuffed quail and grilled prawns with lemon, garlic and... more

we told him we had a party of 20. We told her that we were interested in their Thursday night special. However, Primitivo, acted like a used car sales woman and did the bait and switch. They tried to have us each commit to 35 dollars a person and 18 percent tip !! I was shocked. I asked them what about your Thursday night special. She changed the subject. I ask that you do not give your... more

Last week I was meeting three of my friends here for dinner. I arrived early and the hostess asked if I wanted to be seated or wait for my group to arrive. I choose to sit at the bar and wait and I am so happy I did. The bar was awesome. The bartender was quick to help me find a wine I loved. I am usually a cab drinker, but wanted to try something different. He suggested I try a Rioja and... more

Let me start off by saying this place has the perfect vibe. The bar is full of people tasting, sharing, and loving wine. The tables inside are great for a fun dinner, or the two outside patios will allow you to have a romantic evening over looking the beautiful garden.
But who cares about all that? lets get to the food! For starters try the endive salad with blue cheese and bacon, need I say... more
