That's the part I understood, but what does primo mean?

In Italian "primo" means "first", I guess in English it has a similar meaning as well?
Er, no. In English, it does not mean anything at all.

"Prime" is the analagous English word, I would think, and it is not a superlative. One would not say "that's prime" of something good, impressive, whatever.

"Prime" means: ready; in the thing's initial state; available for immediate use.

It also has a meaning in maths, but that's not really relevant.

In spanish it's cousin
It colloquially means #1 or the best in the US. “Tesla is the primo electric car brand right now.”
