As I settled into my seat, I knew I was in for a treat, especially after peeking at the artfully arranged charcuterie board that graced nearby tables.

My family and I took a trip to Baltimore for the weekend to go eat. We saw pictures of the food online and we wanted to try their squid ink pasta. We made reservations for lunch on a Saturday, but they only serve brunch on the weekend so we were a little bit disappointed. Honestly, the brunch was great so we were glad we stayed. You have to get the crème brûlée - cinnamon french toast and the upside down margarita pizza . They also put lobster in their hash brown and it was crispy, so good. Because we wanted the squid ink pasta and their brunch was so good, we decided to make reservations for dinner. Dinner was amazing. We got the calamari, it was perfectly crispy and had a spicy kick to it. The lobster diavolo was so good, we got another. We got the squid ink pasta the scallops, salad everything was 10 out of 10, even the cocktails. I wish we had this restaurant here in Nashville. I'll definitely be going back if we're back in Baltimore.

This has quickly turned into my favorite and most-visited spot in the city! My faves are: the charcuterie board, burrata, caesar salad (add crispy chicken for an entree), and the sausage and mushroom rigatoni. Love their cocktails the Prima Fiz, some other Cherry drink I can’t remember the name, and the Honeydew drink are all amazing. Every friend and family member I’ve brought here has also loved it, and I feel comfortable sitting at the bar solo when I need a night out alone. Highly recommend!

Lovely squid ink pasta with fair price. Service is fine, I don’t drink and just eat but after finish my food I got handed out my check, felt like being rush to leave. I was here around 3.30 pm so maybe they want to empty the spot for happy hour or something. A little bit disappointing!

Here in Baltimore for a daycation with my husband, we visited Fells Point and decided to stop by Prima Dopa. Upon arrival, we were greeted promptly by a young man with a big smile, which was a nice start to our experience. We ordered a crab omelette and lobster hash, and after waiting for 57 minutes, our waiter informed us that he had been told our order had gone out. We noticed there was a large table in the front of the restaurant with about 30 people, and our food seemed to be making its way around that table. After watching our food pass by, they returned the omelette to a food runner, but the lobster hash was left behind. Eventually, the omelette made its way to the bartender, who realized it was ours and set it on our table. At that point, I told him, “Absolutely not.” After seeing multiple people handle the plate, there was no way I was going to eat it. On top of that, we now had to wait for a new order of lobster mash. At that point, we decided to just leave after the whole fiasco. What was supposed to be a relaxing daycation turned into a frustrating experience.

This was one of the worst tasting food I've had in a while. We got the bruschetta which was the only good thing but it did have too much balsamic vinaigrette, the truffle gnocchi was watery and had zero flavor, and then we got the truffle scalloped risotto which also had zero flavor whatsoever. It was also clumpy. No clue how this place does so well. The service was fine and so were the drinks. But it was super expensive for what we were served.

One of my go-to spots with friends! Their appetizer menu is vast and delicious. The charcuterie is a must - Really good pairings! Burrata is also awesome, as well as the bruschetta. The pasta dishes are fresh and flavorful - I’ve tried many by now, and highly recommend the squid ink pasta with the crab meat. SO good! My friend always gets the carbonara and loves it. The spicy crab spaghetti is another phenomenal option, for those who like a kick in their food. Pizza is stellar! We usually get one as an addition for the table to share. The atmosphere is really comfortable and lovely. One of my favorites as far as style and aesthetics in the area. They also have a great cocktail menu - Try the HoneyDew Crush or Espresso Martini!

I’ve been coming here occasionally since this place has opened. I’m so happy to see it finally blossoming! The vibes are immaculate. DJ, different ambiences and decor for different areas yet all elegant and matching. Service is exceptional and an extensive food and drink menu to match. Louie took great care of us and made sure that we had an experience to remember. I saw him helping box up pizzas etc and helping everyone out. A true team player! Thank you, Louie!

This is the perfect place to meet up with your girls for a GNO. I’ve been wanting to get here, and I’m glad I finally made it! The second bar is a little more intimate. Menu has unique Italian bites. I got the marg pizza with garlic butter which was tasty. The honeydew crush was delicious! Oh yeah and the music selection was right up my lane. Can’t wait to come back.

We were in town for a family trip, we went during the day time, the restaurant was really nice. We wanted their lunch menu, but they only serve brunch on weekends. Our server was really sweet, she could tell we were disappointed about not being able to order the lunch menu, but everything was so good we had to go back for dinner and it was even prettier in the evening. We started off with calamari and it was really good because it was crispy and it had a spicy kick to it. The cocktails were great. The pasta was made in house and it was so good. We really enjoyed everything. I wish we had this restaurant here in Nashville. I'd definitely go back whenever I go back to Baltimore.

One of the best Caesar salads I've ever had was from Prima Dopo. Super fresh, perfectly dressed, and the flavors were on point. I also tried the spicy salami pizza with fresh roasted garlic on top... chefs kiss! To sip, I had the Prima Frizz--not only was it pretty, but it tasted just as good as it looked. Highly recommend if you're into bold flavors and cute cocktails and vibes

I didn't order as much as normally would have because we were heading to the game but still what I had was great! Our friends ordered a lot of various dishes for the table and my husband definitely indulged in some items aside from his skillet too. Menu- Fabulous! So many options and a little something for everyone. Service- Again, amazing! A lost art in restaurants where we currently live. I always miss Baltimore even when we're back home to visit. Decor/Vibe- I mean this is hands down a place to get those great pictures! Just look at it! Parking- Ample street but it is Fells so there are garages too. So cheap and on either end of Thames, and that's what we opted for.

Very very cute spot! It's got a chic and classy atmosphere that ends up turning up a bit late night with a DJ and a lively bar. Food is very delicious and the service was good. A little pricey.

One of the nicer restaurants in Fells Point with really cute decor. I've been here a few times now for brunch, happy hour, and now dinner recently. The space is a lot bigger than it appears from outside. There is a lot of seating inside along with a back dining room area and a smaller upstairs room for private events with a bar. My experiences have all been pretty good here with solid food and solid drinks. I was with a few friends this time and we got seated in the back dining area. We ordered a couple round of drinks that we all enjoyed. Shared a Bruschetta appetizer and ordered our main entrees. I should have gotten something different but ordered their Spaghetti Limone. It was very plain and really lemony flavored. Pricey for just lemon flavored spaghetti noodles, ah well. My friend's dish - Squid Ink Chitarra, was great which I've also had before and the others enjoyed their dishes as well - Mafalde and Sausage Rigatoni. Service was very slow tonight. I think since we were put in the back, our server who was also bartending, had us out of sight, out of mind lol. It took 15-20 mins every time he came to take orders of something and almost 45 mins for our food to arrive. We were enjoying catching up so it was fine but we noticed the slow service. Other past experiences were good too. Brunch pizza and mimosas were good. Happy hour specials for drinks are great. I like their Tuscan Chicken Lollipop and Meatballs on the happy hour menu. Overall, a cool place to come to for some great ambience and good food and drinks.

I fell in love with it lol! Parking is horrible!!! Give your self an extra 20 mins!

I came with a friend on a Wednesday night - she made a reservation ahead of time but I think it would've been fine without one too. The staff were friendly and the food came out fast but the service was slow at the end (there weren't any servers around, we had to actively try to find someone to ring us up and get boxes after waiting for a while since we were in a time crunch to leave). This is the 3rd time I've been here and the service was slow the other times as well. We ordered the beef carpaccio, sausage rigatoni, and the lobster diavolo. The carpaccio was just alright, but both pastas tasted great. For drinks, we ordered the Le moxie and cafe kinda dopo mocktails. I ordered the coffee mocktail without really looking at the price and when the check came back as $13, it seemed rather absurd for a watered down iced coffee. I realized as I was writing this review, that the server incorrectly charged my drink as the alcoholic cafe dopo ($13) vs the coffee mocktail that I ordered ($12) - not that it was a huge difference financially but it was incorrect nonetheless. Besides the slow service and the incorrectly charged/overpriced coffee mocktail, the restaurant has a nice ambiance for date night or food/drinks with friends.

Service - great! We were able to get seated without a reservation on Saturday night. Their kitchen is open until 10pm. Ambiance - very cute and in a busy area. Does get a "clubby" later in the night. They have a bouncer at the front door on Saturday night. Food - overall solid but all the plates are relatively small. Garlic bread was one piece cut into smaller slices. Lollipop chicken was 2 pieces exactly. Calamari was well portioned and actually spicy. We got the carbonara and the sausage rigatoni. The carbonara has an additional egg, so eggy flavor of course. The sausage rigatoni was creamier than expected and had a good variety of mushrooms, just a little more bland than expected. We didn't get cocktails today, but have gotten in the past and they are pretty good. Overall - would come again for happy hour or meeting up with people, but not the best Italian food I've had in Baltimore.

Prima Dopo is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, I was charmed by the environment--super cute décor, cozy couches and chairs, and an ambiance that felt both stylish and inviting. The staff were friendly, patient, and attentive, and the food arrived in a timely manner. I ordered the bruschetta and the Mama's Salad--both were excellent! The bruschetta was loaded with fresh tomatoes, onions, and balsamic, and every bite was bursting with flavor. The Mama's Salad was refreshing, light, and so tasty. For drinks, I tried the Prima Fiz cocktail, which had a unique twist with egg whites. It had a great flavor, though the scent of egg whites might not be for everyone. If you're sensitive to that, it's something to keep in mind--but I personally enjoyed it! I also got a peek at what the table next to me ordered: the cherry espresso martini, filet mignon, and beef rigatoni. They were raving about the rich cherry-coffee combo in the cocktail and said the entrées were absolutely delicious--so those are definitely on my list for next time. The music was another highlight--a great mix of genres and old-school favorites that kept the vibe lively but relaxed. I will most definitely be returning to try more from the menu!

This place is located close to the Pendry! Parking was packed for a Friday Night. Everyone was out this night. Bestie made reservations and we were seated a few moments after checking in. When you go in, keep straight and you will see a small host/hostess stand on the left. Cool vibe and beautiful inside. We sat at a high top by the bar. There was also a DJ that was doing a pretty dope job! Our waiter was super nice! He came over and took our drink order. Bestie ordered the mocktail Le Moxie and I just got a ginger ale. Both drinks were good! The mocktail was very refreshing. Then he came back for our food order. For apps, we got the bruschetta and calamari. The bruschetta had a lot of tomatoes on top but it was good. The calamari was spicy and came with jalapeños. Bestie got the rigatoni and I got the lobster diavolo. Both portion sizes were smaller than we thought. The sauce was tasty in both meals however, the actual pasta was not as tender as we like it. It could have gone a few more minutes. The lobster diavolo was spicy but came with a great amount of lobster in it. I appreciated that! We chose not to get dessert. Nice place for drinks!

From the outside I was NOT expecting the interior to be as beautiful as it is. And the high seats were extremely comfortable too. Our server was nice, she was very understanding and never made myself or my family feel like we were being too much when we asked 100+ questions. For food I ordered the spicy Salami Pizza, and it was so good! It was more of a balanced taste where yes it's "spicy" but there was moments of sweetness too. I didn't picture all the food but we also ordered the Carbonaro, butter noodles and lobster Mac. I will warn you tho the "Mac and cheese" was very cheesy but we were expecting something more like baked Mac so that was a little disappointing. My cousin in law also ordered herself a cherry expresso martini and she absolutely loved it! My baby cousin ordered a Shirley temple and she said "this is the best Shirley ever" now I believe her because kids do not lie when something taste good. All in all, this would be more perfect for a date night or a girls night out, there wasn't much to pick nor was there a kids menu for kids.

It's been over a year now since I went to Prima Dopo - and I heard they got a new chef. My friend and I specifically wanted HH, so after finding out Bunny's was closed due to a private event, we went here for their happy hour. I think Prima Dopo is owned by an entertainment group and you can kind of tell - it feels corporate. Happy hour is hard in Baltimore, but I feel like more places are making it a thing in the city now, which is good. I love getting a drink earlier in the day and a light bite. And in 2025, we're all shopping for a bit of a deal. I still maintain the Prima Dopo is very of the live love laugh era and trying to be very Instagrammable, but I had a decent time. The happy hour features $10 martinis - a Tito's martini for $10 is not bad and it was decent. My favorite item that I was shocked about was the squid ink pasta. I really liked the portion size, and it was really salty and delicious and hit the right notes. I didn't feel super commercially made like a cafeteria kitchen. It wasn't bad. Again, this is not somewhere I think about going to or necessarily want to come back to, but sometimes it's the only option. If you are looking for a happy hour in Fells Point on Thames Street this is a decent option.

Overall, Prima Dopo has a beautiful vibe and esthetic. From the signage to the seating (especially the hanging chairs in the front,) you can tell there is a lot of emphasis on the image of the place. I traditionally go to their sister bars/restaurants El Buf and Raw & Refined. This one has a classier vibe to it. The drinks are interesting, a little more elevated than regular bar drinks. The food is decent, though I haven't fallen in love with anything I have had.

Some of the best oven fired pizza I've had in Baltimore. The service is amazing, everyone is friendly and attentive whether I've sat at the bar or at a table. The drinks are strong and delicious! Even the bathroom is decorated nicely! This place is one of my go to's when my friends are visiting from out of town.

Come for good pasta and even better calamari. We started with drinks--my Thames Spritzer was a refreshing gin cocktail, and my friend had the Expression to the Rule, their take on an espresso martini. Both were solid choices. The calamari we shared was light and crispy and was served with a flavorful spicy tomato sauce and fried peppers. For my entrée, I had the sausage rigatoni... creamy without being heavy with just the right amount of spice from the sausage. My friend ordered the flat iron steak, which was cooked past her requested medium but still tasted good. The atmosphere was lively, though the music got extremely loud around 10 PM. Sitting at the high tops near the bar meant lots of foot traffic, as the space is fairly narrow. A big bonus for us was that the restaurant was nicely decorated for the holidays, adding a festive touch. The staff was friendly but clearly busy at times--but the manager stopped by for feedback. I'll definitely be back.

Came here with a friend for a last minute brunch after the other spot we tried had a 45+ minute wait. I was immediately taken by the decor. Talk about a beautiful restaurant! I didn't love that they had the front door propped open at first, letting cold air rush into the place. The eventually closed it after I had my jacket on for 2/3 of our meal. Our server was attentive and the food came in a timely fashion. My friend got an omelette and red velvet cheesecake, I got the lobster hash, my husband got the chicken and hash, and we shared the cookies and cream stuffed French toast. Everything was delicious, especially the French toast. I enjoyed my lobster hash but some bites of the hash brown were a bit salty. It would've been nice if there were other seasonings. Our friend got a cocktail that was very well balanced. Im attempting not to drink at the moment (saving myself for the holidays!) otherwise I would've gotten one too. The music was on point so they get major points for that.

Went here on a Thursday for lunch. We were in Fell's Point and wanted a quick bite to eat. My daughter saw that they had pizza and we decided to give it a shot. Went in, sat at a high top near the bar, and decided to order a pizza to share. At first glance, we thought that it was pricey ($20 for one pizza & $5-7 per can of beer). My wife and i ordered a beer, my kids each ordered a lemonade, and we ordered the upside down pizza to share for all of us. The beers were good, the lemonades were awesome (super tart), and the pizza was amazing. I even said that the pizza was probably worth more than $20. It was delicious. The bartender was pulling double duty on this day as he was waiting tables and tending bar. He was super friendly (Darin) and helpful. I don't live in Baltimore and I kinda wish I did because of this place. The inside was decorated nicely with a modern feel in an old town. Great job Prima Dopo!

The menu was a bit limited to me. My first choice was the meatballs. They didn't have sides on the menu. Just a side of meatballs wouldn't fulfill my hunger needs. So I went the safest route and got a salad. My chicken tasted a bit burnt. It was bearable so I didn't complain. The service was good. The ambiance was breathtaking. I uploaded a video take a look for yourself.

Stopped in on a Friday night because my friend has never had an Aperol spritz before! We did not have a reservation and were seated at a high top in the bar area immediately. The restaurant is pretty narrow which gives it a homey vibe. The decor was very "positano summer" esque with yellows, blues, and light wood accents. The bar was packed and multiple bartenders came by to wait on us, service was great! We obviously got some Aperol spritz's, they tasted classic and were very pretty. We started off with the burrata and prosciutto board which was both gorgeous and delicious. Hated that the side of 6 small bread pieces was $3, but the board was definitely worth it. My chicken sandwich was topped with lemon ricotta and prosciutto wrapped mozzarella, it was a 11/10. I upgraded to a side of fries they were very thinly cut and very crispy. If you're looking for a cute spot for drinks, cheeses and breads stop by Prima Dopo!

The place is super cute, especially when decorated for the holidays! I went for dinner with a group of friends and most people enjoyed their drinks, appetizers and meals. The chicken thigh marsala was delicious. I didn't love the spaghetti carbonara - it just didn't stack up to others I've had - but it was decent. The service was solid and I'd definitely try this spot again.

If you are looking for phenomenal Italian food with a cool vibe, head straight to Prima Dopo! My daughter found this place and it did not disappoint. We started with a crab toast, which was a nice piece of toast with arugula, dressed in a lemon dressing with fresh pieces of crab on top. We both wished we didn't need to share it with the other! I got the Dopo salad, which was well dressed, had plenty of meat and cheese and very filling! My daughter got the sausage rigatoni which had one of our favorites, mushrooms in it. It was so flavorful, kept us coming back for more! The next time we would love to try the desserts and some specialty cocktails! This is a must try in Fells Point

The food and service were great. I ordered the breakfast pizza, mimosa and a seasonal margarita. We were celebrating a birthday and they brought out a red velvet cheesecake. It wasn't busy for a Saturday afternoon so it wasn't noisy or too much foot traffic. I'll definitely visit again to try some things on the menu.

So I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while. I visit Baltimore a lot for work and I normally love all the spots in Fells Point. I walked to the door, looking to spend money having dinner and cocktails here and the 'bouncer' wouldn't let me in cause of my sleeveless cashmere Vest. He said "you need sleeves to come in". He then proceeded to let 3 women who are not wearing sleeves and men in ripped cargo shorts and flip flops. I'm not against dress codes, but this was very upsetting; he then continued to pretend I was not there speaking to him as I asked to speak to someone about this dress code. So I took my business next door to Thames Street Oyster House. All I'm saying is, unless you have a particular reason to not let me in wearing what in New York would be alright in most places, be consistent across the board. So now I know I don't need to come here. Men, make sure you dress down for this place!

Got the opportunity to check out Prima Dopo as part of restaurant week. Honestly it was okay. Mostly I was disappointed that they allowed to make a reservation, sat us, and then rushed us to order in 5 minutes because the kitchen was closing. Very stressful. Food was okay (presentation was phenomenal) and desserts were great. Don't know if I'll be back with the service I received.

What's not to like! We arrived Saturday night without reservations and they said they could seat us immediately! We ultimately preferred a bar table so we moved lol. I was there with just a girl friend so we split two apps- the cacio e pepe and the burrata. They were sooooo good I forgot to take pictures. We didn't try their cocktails (although they looked good) and just stuck with regular bar beverages. The service and host were great! Great location in Fells! Will be back!

Cool spot with bright interesting decor. The food was definitely not the star. We tried several dishes and while they were serviceable, nothing stood out to anyone in our party. Service wasn't good. I wouldn't recommend it!

Prime Dopa is situated in the heart of the most jumpin' neighborhood in Baltimore. Do not miss dining here. They have food and seating arrangements for all parties and diets. I especially love their scallops! Absolutely beautiful and modern decor paired with banging pop dance music.

My boyfriend took me to Prima Dopo for the first time to celebrate my birthday. The vibes are immaculate - perfect for a special occasion and very Instagram-picture worthy. We split the burrata and pappardelle diavolo which were both beyond delicious. I already can't wait to come back and order the pasta dish again; the sauce was so flavorful and creamy and it came piled with lobster chunks. Our waitress was really sweet and brought us a complementary piece of red velvet cheesecake for my birthday. I'd definitely recommend this place for a date night or fun night out with friends!

Overall it's a trendy Italian spot. Everything that you order is photo worthy but not much to write home about. The cocktails were a big hit for me, they do a great job of bold flavors and fun combinations. In The 'Loupe was a favorite of mine and had such a pleasant unique taste. After our starting round of cocktails we had the calamari to start, it was fine but I don't think it was anything special. Both of the pasta entrees were quite small and not really memorable. The best part about dinner was the Dopocello, it was truly so delicious and refreshing. Service was meh, wasn't that busy when we went and still had to hunt down our server many times. Glad I tried it but I wouldn't come back on my own account.

Stay tuned for a future update on a personal dining experience. Party catered event digest: I dropped in at Prima Dopo for a holiday party and clearly need to return for a personal dining experience. In regard to a catered dinner party, Prima Dopo did an excellent job. The staff were amazing, keeping the food table full with fresh food and drinks in your hand. The menu of choice for the evening was: Salad, Charcuterie board, meatballs, pizza and bruschetta. Drinks: Full bar. My drinks for the night; bourbon neat, spritz, champagne and red wine. Favorites of the evening: Bruschetta that was out of this world (OK Prima!) and the spritz. Overall, it was a great experience for a catered event. I shall return for a personal dining experience and will share an update.

The restaurant is beautiful and clean. The dining room is spacious and can definitely accommodate large groups. I dined with a party of 7 on a Sunday afternoon. We had a reservation but one wasn't necessary. I ordered a le moxie, Caesar salad, sweet potatoes and chicken parm frites. The le moxie was fresh and not too sweet. I usually ask for salad dressing on the side when I order salads but I forgot this time. The dressing was heavy but the salad was good. The sweet potatoes were my favorite out of everything. The basil yogurt was unexpectedly delicious. The chicken parm frites was just okay- the sauce was salty and there was too much of it to eat around it. There was more breading on the chicken than what I would have liked.

Make sure to come here with reservations if you're visiting on the weekend! We visited on a Saturday night and it was packed. We were seated all the way in the back of the restaurant in their dining area with a few other groups. My biggest complaint here was actually the dining area itself - I'm not sure why but they had 2 giant TVs in the small dining area which were super distracting, loud, and in my opinion ruining the atmosphere of the restaurant. I understand having them in a bar, but for a nicer Italian restaurant it was a bit surprising. I did really enjoy the food/drinks here though! I started with a glass of white wine which was great. For the table, we split a stracciatella toast which was a nice combination of sweet and savory flavors. I wish the serving was a little bigger, but it was still nice to try a few bites. I really enjoyed my main dish which was their mafalde pasta which is served with a Bolognese-like sauce. It was super rich and meaty, with a great tomato base. The cheese and breadcrumbs on top really took the dish to the next level. Would come back here just to try some of their other pasta dishes!

I walked into this restaurant, it has a nice ambience, but when I got to the bar, I watch a bartender look at me three times and not asked me did I want anything. Also, a woman came up next to me and was trying to cash out her tab and also the same bartender Looked at her multiple times and didn't even acknowledge her. As a bartender myself, anyone comes to my bar I acknowledge them because you never know what they want. I ordered Caesar salad, a Hugo spritz and a side of fries. I don't know if it was not heard or anything, but I did not receive my side of Fries. Everything was good such as music culture within the place and drinks and food but service is lacking.

Good food and good service. The Cesar salad has a lot of dressing, so better off on the side! Pizza is great: drinks are really sweet. Servers are really nice!! On one occasion, our server managed to get us a dessert after the kitchen was closed, which was amazing!! Food is generally go and it's an Atlas restaurant. Go enjoy!

The decor is so cute and the service was decent, unfortunately, I did not enjoy any of the food I had here during brunch. I may return for dinner, but it seems like a place that has prioritized decor over food. GLOWS: -Multiple dining spaces, including bar and private dining options. GROWS: -The prices are way too high for the quality of food. $16 for a sweet potato appetizer was wild. I thought the flavors might make it work it and it didn't. -The avocado toast did not have a good flavor and the toast had a weird flavor to it that didn't taste like "just butter" was spread on it.

Very delicious! Had the meatballs and I loved that they had pistachios with them. The service was amazing, we absolutely loved our waitress & she was our bartender too! The drinks could have been a little stronger, but the ambiance of this restaurant makes up for it (mostly). 10/10 would return!

**food is average, service is incredibly lacking, but decor is lovely Came for a birthday brunch reservation. The servers came so sparingly that we waited a long time for the ordering, clean up, and bill. I ordered a chicken Benedict and it was just ok: the food was too cold even when I immediately tried it. The chicken was also not seasoned enough for my personal liking. Presentation is good though! And others liked the cinnamon French toast. Unfortunately, I find their practice to be a little misleading. My friend asked on the phone if there were any fees to be aware of for the birthday reservation. She was told no, not to worry. However, when she brought out the cake to cut herself, we were told we'd be charged a cake cutting fee...even though we cut the cake ourselves. It was $35! Disappointed because on the phone, it seemed like no fee would be present. I understand if restaurants charge money for outside food, but not letting people know upfront is really shady. Also, a 3% credit card fee, which I found odd. The positive is that the decor is lovely, and it has a view of the water. Overall, I would not recommend, unless you're ok with spending a lot of money for the view.

We have stayed in Fell's Point several times and have dined at many restaurants here, but this newcomer has quickly become a favorite! Located in a historic building on Thames street, the design of this restaurant is inventive and just cool! Peek in and there is a bar and lounge area. Note the hummingbird mural and several seating configurations, including swinging wicker chairs. While walking through, don't miss the iron horse scale which was not allowed to be moved. Move along to a smaller, quieter bar in the back and turn right to enter one of the loveliest dining rooms I have encountered. It feels like you are sitting in a sophisticated garden. The menu features craft cocktails and Italian food with a twist. Two of us split some small plates/bites and one main including crab toast, stracciatella toast, Tuscan chicken lollipop, Burrata, and dayboat scallops (with risotto). Every item was so well seasoned and tasty that it's tough to pick a favorite. Our server was friendly. The food arrived as it was ready. It almost came too quickly. We were absolutely stuffed! Definitely a win/win for decor, atmosphere, and delicious food! We will be back.

I came here for the first time yesterday and ate dinner. We opted to eat outside on their front patio. It was such a nice day out and they had umbrellas covering most of the tables! They have a great selection of cocktails as well as mocktails on their menu. I opted for the In the Loupe specialty drink, which was similar to a spicy margarita and it was delicious! It was the perfect spice level for me! My friend ordered the Smokey Italian cocktail which was a refreshing cucumber, mezcal drink with a touch of smokiness. I ordered the Cluck Around and Find Out breaded chicken sandwich, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It was juicy, perfectly seasoned and very flavorful with just a hint of spice to it. The service was great here, and our server was funny, nice, and attentive to our needs!

Ambiance! Decor! Music! Walking into Primo Dopo is an experience. You think you're walking into an art deco inspired small restaurant but keep walking. This place is HUGE! 2 bars and PLENTY of seating. 2 seating areas in fact. The drink were well crafted, our bartender was so nice and held great conversation. The food was fresh and flavorful. Although we were just in for drinks and apps I would happily return for a full dinner. Great addition to Fells!!!

When I say date night spot this is it!! The place gives you an introduction to a tropical feel and a mix of upscale dinner with a laid back enjoyment. The lights that linger around each and every corner makes a great picture for any picture taken. I was only able to buss down some drinks since I already at before reaching this spot. I tell you this the drinks were made with love and precision. Our bartender acknowledged our every wish.
