Bar Prima is the Queen West Italian restaurant from Craig Harding and Julian D'Ippolito, a vintage-Italian room that leans into old-school glamour: dark wood, low light, tiled floors and a menu of red-sauce classics alongside hand-made pasta and Italian-American plates. The bar is as much the point as the dining room, with cocktails built to be ordered twice and a wine list that runs from aperitivo to amaro. It opened in 2023 and has been one of the neighbourhood's hardest tables to walk into since.
