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. It was simply perfection—a feast for both the eyes and the palate! I couldn’t resist diving into their squid ink pasta, a dish as daring as it is delicious. The delicate balance of flavors danced on my tongue, showcasing the chef's talent for taking traditional recipes and giving them a contemporary twist. Paired with one of their amazing cocktails, this meal turned into a culinary celebration. Speaking of cocktails, the diverse selection available really deserves a mention. Each sip was a pleasure, complementing the vibrant menu beautifully. One of the standout experiences was the delightful ambiance that made even solo dining feel special.

This restaurant is a grown folks chill and vibe. We had a mixed age group and we all felt the atmosphere, noise level, and music was fantastic. The servers were amazing. Particularly the server attending our drinks. Our cups NEVER were empty. I had Honeydew Crush that was surprisingly AH-mazing! We also tried the Beef Carpaccio. It needed more salt, crostini and balsamic sauce. Also had the Tuscan Chicken Lollipop (wasn't cut as a lollipop and I was not made at it more yummers to enjoy). Flavor and seasoning were next level! The crispy, sweet heat on that well cooked chicken was delicious. We also had the Meatballs with a whipped ricotta, very tasty. Now the Crab Imperial Pizza.... was very disappointing. Lacked so much potential flavor. Was the Imperial in the room with us? Lol. It had plenty of crab (which was a happy finding IF it was with the classic Imperial sauce. It was undressed crab chunks) and unwanted and all to common arugula (several dishes had arugula sprinkled on it). I was excited for this dish, was so sad it wasn't tasty. Those who got the crab cake though were very please with the size and flavor of the meaty cake. We had the Broccolini, Smoked Mac and Cheese, Garlic Mash and Cheese, as well as the Brussels. The show stoppers were the BRUSSELS!! Lawd! Someone really knew what they were doing with these little funky morsels. They literally made a non-brussel eater become an only Prima brussel eater!! Honestly all of the sides were so very delicious and seasoned well. I could have eaten all sides and be very very happy! We also had the Scallops which also came with the mash (which tasted even better on this plate for some reason). But the scallops were a bit dirty and had sand with each bite. They also smelled a bit fishy so they were not finished. Lastly we had the BEST EVER Bananas Foster Bread pudding! No words. Just go get it!! I also had the Salted Carmel Chocolate Chip Cookie. The cookie was hard as a rock. The cream on the cookie was delicious and light which broke up the POOL of loose caramel. Not a fan of all the carmel. Would I go back? Yes!! I had a good time and want to try more items in their menu and enjoyed their servers and bar tenders. Go give them a try!

Stopped by for drinks/dessert after having dinner nearby on a Tuesday night. We walked in and took the last few empty seats at the bar. The restaurant was busy! I saw they do “Tini Tuesdays, 50% off martinis” on Instagram, but it was not advertised anywhere in the restaurant/menu and had to confirm with the bartender which drinks on the menu were part of the deal. I ordered the Cocoa Cherry Espresso Tini and it was seriously the best cocktail I’ve had all year. When I think about an espresso martini, I want it to taste exactly like this one! I’m also big Tiramisu fan and am searching for the best tiramisu in Baltimore. THIS was an excellent tiramisu. Highly recommend. Will probably be back to try their dinner food since we live in the area!

Visited on a Saturday nice! Great atmosphere and customer service. For food we had the meatballs , crab imperial pizza, the lobster pasta, and a drink I got was one of the best cocktails I ever had!! I forgot the name of the drink, it had gin in it. I recommend!!

It was really a great experience. I loved the ambiance, the staff, and food. It’s definitely a nice chill but classy spot. The food was 7/10 but the calamari was 20/10. Nice cocktails and mocktail selection to choose from. The bill was good for all the items we got.

We went here for drinks to enjoy the bars decorated for Christmas. The atmosphere was nice, the service was good and quick. We ordered the following drinks, "In the Loupe", "Smoky Italian" and "Buckcherry Showwalter" and they were delicious. I definitely recommend them. Make sure you order the Burschetta and the Italian Sushi Bites.

We visited Prima Dopo during Baltimore Restaurant Week, hoping to enjoy their brunch offerings-only to discover they weren't participating for brunch. Though disappointed, we decided to stay and give it a try. We snagged an outdoor table with a lovely river view, and the service was excellent— our waters were refilled promptly, and the staff was attentive. What We Ordered: CLUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT A breaded chicken breast sandwich with confit tomato, lemon ricotta, crispy prosciutto di Parma, and fresh mozzarella on a potato roll. The chicken was decent but slightly over-fried. MARCO DOPO* The menu described it as an 8 oz short rib burger with pork belly, fried onions, tomato jam, cheddar, and shredded romaine. However, mine came with a standard beef patty (no pork belly). The fried onions added a touch of sweetness, and overall, it was decent. I swapped the fries for a side salad, which cost an extra $8. While the food was just okay, the ambiance and service made up for it. There’s a service fee added to the bill.

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.

I highly recommend this restaurant. To start, it’s a total vibe. It’s definitely a picture worthy location. The staff was super friendly and attentive, the restaurant was very clean and the food was superb! The General Manager also happened to be super cute. I will totally visit again in the future.

Proms Dopa - Crab Imperial Pizza Review Setting & Atmosphere Proms Dopa is one of those quietly confident spots that seems to fly under the radar the kind of place where locals nod knowingly while the rest of the city has yet to catch on. On a weekend evening, the relaxed energy and open tables felt surprising given the quality of what was to come. Food & Flavor As a devoted seafood lover, I couldn't resist the Crab Imperial Pizza and it was, without exaggeration, a revelation. The imperial sauce was rich and decadent yet beautifully balanced by the peppery freshness of arugula and the bright lift of a lemon honey vinaigrette drizzled over the top. Every bite delivered a contrast of creamy, tangy, and savory that worked in perfect harmony. It's the kind of dish that feels both indulgent and thoughtfully crafted the flavors of the Chesapeake married to the comfort of a crisp, golden pizza crust. A bold idea executed flawlessly. Service & Experience Service was relaxed and friendly, and the kitchen clearly takes pride in its craft. The casual environment makes it approachable, but the food itself deserves serious attention. Overall Impression Proms Dopa might just be one of Baltimore's most underrated dining spots. With food this creative and well-executed, it's only a matter of time before word spreads and the weekends fill up fast. Verdict The Crab Imperial Pizza alone is worth the visit -- a true chef's kiss moment that redefines what seafood pizza can be.

I hadn't been here since they first opened, and I wasn't very impressed with the food during my initial visit. However, I dined here again last week for a girls' night out and really enjoyed the experience this time around. We had reservations, which I highly recommend since the restaurant was very busy. All of the appetizers were delicious--we ordered the calamari, beef carpaccio, meatballs, and sweet potato. Surprisingly, the sweet potato stood out the most. The green sauce it comes with is incredibly flavorful and pairs perfectly with the dish. We each ordered our own pasta, and I chose the squid ink pasta, which I thought was delicious. The pasta was cooked al dente, and I really enjoyed the flavor. The only downside is that the pasta dishes are quite expensive for the portion size, and I didn't feel completely full afterward. That said, the service was excellent and the cocktails were also very good. I would definitely come back to try some of their other pasta dishes.

Two words: chicken parm I had a craving and heard good things. Very glad the waitress allowed me to sub pasta for the fries (what the chicken parm is usually served with). A generous portion with crispy yet juicy chicken, delicious sauce and not overly cheesy, just right. Honesty, they nailed it. Overall Prima Dopo is a beautiful space in an excellent location (right on Thames street in Fell's). The prices are a bit high but the quality of food is indeed excellent.

Right as I walked in, I noticed the very festive decor from the Christmas tree to the entrance of string lights for the holidays. I loved the inviting feel the restaurant gave. We were seated near the back in a booth that accommodated 7. We ordered drinks and then went straight to ordering our entrees. We ended up all ordering from the pasta section. I went with the mafalde -- veal ragu, grana with a tomato base. I also tried the squid ink chitarra, spicy crab spaghetti, lobster diavolo, and the sausage rigatoni. I'm glad we all got something different cause we all shared like family style. My favorite was the spicy crab spaghetti since it had a kick to it and I enjoyed the crab balls. I think it's a cute spot in the heart of fells point for a date night or a celebration.

I loved walking in and seeing all of the cute, funky, modern decor. Every worker here was super friendly. We decided to split the Bruschetta, the Spicy Salami Pizza, and the Chopped Salad. The food here is A+! Every bite was so delicious. That pizza is currently haunting my foodie dreams. The only knock on this place is that it is exceptionally loud, so I can't recommend it for a date night. We will definitely be back for the food, though.

I really enjoyed my meal at Prima Dopo! My husband got the Sushi Style Italian Roll as a starter and I ordered the spaghetti. The food was delicious. Two people ordered a pizza as well which was shared with the group. They have a pumpkin spice espresso martini on their menu right now too which my husband also got. Our server/bartender Brooke was fun and helpful with the larger party and made good suggestions about the menu. My aunt ordered the malfade which was undercooked but Brooke was nice to take it off the check and offer another item instead. This would be a really good date night spot in Baltimore plus they also apparently offer brunch as an option too! There was a live dj while we were there plus they're decorated for Christmas!

Went for a little Winter happy hour. The space was nicely decorated for the season and had a good Christmas music playlist going. Pizza was very good and the drinks were good as well. The staff was very polite and attentive.

One of my favorite places to go to in Fells Point! My friend and I met up for dinner on a weeknight and enjoyed pizza and one of the best ceaser salads I've had in a while! Our waitress was so sweet and we loved looking at the holiday decor. Prima Dopo never misses!

We had been to Prima Dopo twice prior. Wonderful experiences with food and service both times. We reserved for Christmas Eve for our family of four at 7:30p. We received a phone message that restaurant would like us to move reservation earlier as kitchen would close at 7p that evening. I called back and talked to a manager who assured us that the kitchen wouldn't close at 7p, just last reservation would be 7p. He also assured us that the 15 minute reservation hold would be in place and we wouldn't be rushed out as the last seating. They wanted to get workers home early for holiday. Perfectly reasonable. We arrived to restaurant at 7:09p on 12/24. We waited for a host for several minutes. Restaurant was near empty. A server came to hostess stand and told us kitchen was closed. She said she would double check with kitchen. The manager appeared and told us kitchen was closed at 7p, restaurant would not be able to serve us. I shared what I was told on phone by a different manager when I moved our reservation earlier. The manager was curt and unapologetic, we would not be served. WOW! Worst hospitality EVER on Christmas Eve to boot. Hospitality is the golden rule for restaurants. As delicious as the food was at Prima Dopo, we will not be returning. Deeply disappointed. Will share this unfortunate experience with friends as well.

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.

I went to Prima Dopo for the second time last night. The first time I went it was Halloween so of course I went to Ekiben for baolloween first (IYKYK) so my friend and I just went for drinks. The vibe was great and the drinks were good. Last night I actually got to try their food and let me tell you ...... the Lobster Diavolo was delicious. The portion size was perfect, like it was exactly enough to feel satisfied and not too much to feel overstuffed. Will definitely be going back to try their Squid Ink Chitarra next. And the hostess is super sweet.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Arriving early for our reservation, we were shunted into a corner while the hostess figured out what to do. She took us to our table which was available and set but she would not let us sit down. She then told us that, despite the fact that our table was set and available and ready she could not seat us because we were an incomplete party. She then told us that the restaurant was very busy with several parties and there was no room at the bar and there was nowhere we could wait. Basically she told us we could not be accommodated in the 20 minutes that we needed and that we needed to leave. Fortunately, the Pendry is right across the street and we had a lovely time at the bar and dinner with our friends. The hostess was unprofessional, discourteous, and needless to say we will never be going to that restaurant again.

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.

I'm definitely coming back! Love the decor. You can get lots of cute pics inside. Wr came for restaurant week. We had the bruschetta, potato croquettes, scallops w/mushroom risotto, rigatoni a la vodka, and red velvet cheesecake. Everything was gooood!!!!! only cocktail we had was the Thames spritz. I fell in love with it lol! Parking is horrible!!! Give your self an extra 20 mins!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Prima Dopo has been on my list of must-try restaurants for quite some time now and it did not disappoint! When you walk in, the vibe is effortlessly. I was shocked by how large the restaurant actually is on the inside. We ordered garlic bread for the table and it was so good - perfectly crisped on the outside with some marinara dipping sauce for balance. I got the vodka rigatoni as my meal and it was delicious. One of the best vodka sauces I've had in the city.

Prima Dopo catered our event for 80 people, and everything was excellent. Sammy was amazing! professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly easy to work with. The chicken parm with spaghetti, mushroom risotto, Caesar salad, and cookies were all delicious and beautifully prepared. We were very happy with both the food and the service. Highly recommend!

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.

Had amazing food and service at Prima Dopo last week!! They also have the cutest cocktails. The crab imperial pizza was out of this world. The chicken marsala was one of the best pasta dishes I've had in a while. Out of the dessert, hard to pick a favorite but, I loved the red velvet cheesecake!!

Not only is the atmosphere unlike something you would anticipate when entering a restaurant in fells, warm, beautiful ambience, chic decor. The buildout of the room was absolutely beautiful and I wouldn't change anything. The service was exceptional. All of the girls serving were extremely pleasant and helpful. They recommended and crafted some amazing cocktails. The espresso martini was amazing. Food was absolutely top tier.

The cinnamon French toast was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The sweet potatoes were all right. I loved the sea view from the window!

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.

Went to celebrate my birthday with friends. Food was great! Management was so awesome, they gave us a round of drinks for a VERY minor inconvenience. Ambiance was cute, they had a DJ the night that we went. Would recommend!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Much bigger than it looks, waited until the dinner menu started but the bartender was very attentive while we waited. Cute lil hangout spot especially on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Good music mix!
