Prima Dopo Cucina & Cocktail House is located in a vibrant area of Baltimore and has an inviting atmosphere that's perfect for a night out. The restaurant has a cozy yet lively vibe, and with TVs throughout the space, it's a great spot to catch a game or watch a special sporting event while enjoying dinner and drinks. The standout of the night was the upside-down pizza--it was absolutely phenomenal and easily one of the best pizzas I've had in a while. Every drink we ordered was also on point, including the smoked old fashioned, lemon drops, vodka sodas, and Peroni beer. Everything was well-made and flavorful. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Our server, Matt, was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. If you stop by, I highly recommend asking for him. Overall, Prima Dopo delivers on all fronts: great food, excellent drinks, outstanding service, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. If you're looking for a fun night out with amazing pizza and cocktails, this place is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Quaint Italian eatery in Fells. There are plenty pic worthy areas to capture. The decor is contemporary with some maritime thrown in. While here I noshed on: Beef carpaccio Squid ink chitarra My table-mates ordered the sweet potatoes and the spaghetti carbonara. Both they said were deelish. They also have a nice selection of wines. I had the Prosecco rose. Crisp with a little fruit note. Our server Adelle was great. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. Will dine again. read more

Such a beautiful place. I am a sucker for ambiance and it definitely had that. I attended with my co workers and they gave us a private area in the back part of the restaurant. There was a fishy smell but I guess it was the seafood being prepared in the kitchen. I got the carbonara, red velvet cheesecake, meatballs (huge), and a prima fiz cocktail. I thought I would hate that it had egg white, but I didn't even taste it. All in all I would definitely go back. read more

I don't usually get desert when I go out to eat because I'm usually full after my entree, but this time I went to Prima Dopo just for an espresso martini and a sweet treat. This was also my first time going to the bar area that they have on the other side. It's super moody, with dark lighting. So nice of you just want to chill and have casual girl talk. The espresso martini (Espression to The Rule) was delish as always but the Bananas Foster Bread Pudding !!!!!!! To die for. The texture was perfect. It was warm and doughy without being too gooey. The flavor just explodes in your mouth 10/10 read more

Ugh I love this place! The scallops dish might be my all time favorite. It is incredible. The drinks are also divine! Overall, it was an excellent meal and the service was superb.

Super cute restaurant with very friendly service. The restaurant is tucked away in Fells Point but is surprisingly huge so larger parties are welcome. Decor is also top notch. They have cute events like Galentines popups with local businesses and themed drink menus. The creme brûlée filled cinnamon sugar french toast (yes it is a mouthful but it is so good! try the cookies and cream version too.) I tried my friend's marco dopo short rib burger and it was also delicious (the tomato jam gives it a sweet and savory taste) The Le Moxie mocktail is good but not as sweet as I hoped. Tart lovers will like it. I'd definitely come back to try more of their menu! read more

i came here with a friend for their summer restaurant week. we made a res for a high top near the bar, so our server was one of the bartenders. service was exceptional throughout the entire night. the interior is cute, very modern (and kind of chilly). i ordered the honey butter focaccia, the chicken marsala, and the red velvet cheesecake. i also tried my friend's risotto that came with their scallops and the calamari. overall, things tasted really nice, but we described it as an excellent textural experience. the honey butter focaccia was very crispy, while the marsala sauce was very nicely emulsified and the pasta springy and fun to eat. i'm not usually the biggest fan of red velvet (taste either chocolatey or not, don't taste like something in between) but i actually really enjoyed the red velvet cheesecake. the color was gorg of course, but the chocolate cookie crust was definitely my favorite part. this is definitely more of an upscale experience, with prices to match, but i would return on occasion. everything they do here they do well. read more

One word: Yum! My cousins and I went here for restaurant week. We ordered a handful of things on the menu. We got calamari, a Caesar salad, Burrata, and bruschetta. The bruschetta was so delicious. You could taste the freshness from the tomatoes. The Burrata was also delicious. The grilled peaches really said it above the bar. We also ordered a handful of appetizers. Two of my cousins got the Wagyu. I personally got the spicy crab spaghetti and another cousin got the vodka rigatoni which was vegetarian so there was no meat in it. Everything was delicious. We had some rosé and espresso martini and what seems to be a play on a spicy margarita which was rimmed with this like Tajin and Chile, and it was so good. Our server was very sweet and attentive. We sat outside. It wasn't too hot so it was a very nice evening. We just enjoyed ourselves. I had never been to this place prior to restaurant week but I for sure can say that I will be back. read more

Fantastic! Exactly what I was looking for. Great service. Great food. Excellent drinks! One of Baltimores best crab Benedict's. The creamy margaritas were not on my bingo card but I double scored!! Big time. Thanks you. read more

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. read more

Prima Dopo - Squid ink pasta - Italian Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

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. read more

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. read more

The staff was welcoming and the ambiance was great! read more

Service was great. Food was delicious. Cocktails were amazing. Music was a vibe. However, those with a seafood allergy are limited because the preparation is not separated when it comes to the fryer. For example, we checked out the menu, I had my mouth set on the Tuscan chicken lollipops. Learned when we arrived, they were fried in the same oil as seafood. I had to find other options, but that really sucked. read more

Prima Dopo - Italian Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

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. read more

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. read more

Our server was good. That's the highlight. The front of house was an abomination. In my reservation, I selected a booth and I was told one was not available upon our arrival. After we were seated, we saw numerous booths and low tables available. We had one of the worst high-top tables in the restaurant that was in a high traffic area where people are constantly coming and going and being disruptive. The food was average and not memorable in any way. We will not be back under any circumstances. read more

The food was mid, bland, and over priced. The drinks were good and average price for baltimore. The service was decent but the vibes were good. Wouldn't spend the extra money here again. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Prima Dopo - Squid ink pasta - Italian Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

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. read more

I really wanted to love this place & based on the awesome reviews I had really high hopes. It's in a cute area & we sat on the patio with a view of the water which was great. We had the calamari which was outstanding and the pizza which was good as well & the cluck around & find out was also good. The burger was decent-no real complaints there . The crab cakes Benedict was a big disappointment & not worth the price. The eggs were hard cooked. Definitely missing the runny yolk that you expect with a Benedict. The portion was also really small for the price. I also did not love my aperol spritz. It was a little heavy on the club soda. The Thames spritz & honeydew crush were both really good. Overall, I would say it was decent but didn't grab our attention enough for a repeat unfortunately. read more

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. read more

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! read more
