That's antipasto, not antipasta. It's not before the pasta, but before
the meal (the Italian word for "meal" is "pasto.")

"Primi" is plural. You mean one "primo" (singular).

Primi are often pasta dishes, but don't have to be. Soups are also
primi, as are risotti (the plural of "risotto").


> one secondi (meat or fish)



Similarly, "secondi" is plural. You mean one "secondo."
