Prima Dopo was an absolute standout. We started with the burrata and toast points, beef carpaccio, and a Caesar salad, and every appetizer was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. For entrées, we ordered the carbonara and the lobster diavolo. The pasta is homemade, which is truly the only way to have pasta, and it made all the difference. Both dishes were exceptional, with the lobster diavolo being especially memorable. We ended with affogato, and it was the best I’ve ever had. The service was attentive and seamless, and the entire restaurant vibe was perfect. An unforgettable dining experience.

Visited Prima Dopo for my boyfriend and I’s latest date night. We have reservations for an early dinner around 5, restaurant was clean, quant and nice. Staff was super kind and helpful. The food was delicious, I have a shellfish allergy and the waitress stated since they only have two fryers they use the fryers for shellfish and all their meat. I was initially upset since most of the items I planned to order were fried. The manager came by to check on us and explained the situation and apologized and then asked me what item I planned on ordering that was fried, which were the chicken lollipops. The manager Will talked with the head Chef Brian and came up with a solution to sous vide and pan fry the chicken lollipops so I can enjoy. I was so happy. Very thankful to the head chef Brian and Manager Will coming working together to accommodate my allergies. Will definitely be going back to enjoy good food and drinks.

Nice place in Baltimore. Focused on more Italian food and its higher end (don’t come here hoping for the Olive Garden options). There are non pork options. Everything tasted great.
Parking is street and was fairly easy to find.
Get reservations. It’s popular
The inside is very chic but I saw people wearing hoodies there so it’s good for a nice date night or an unplanned dinner where you can’t find a dress in time.
The only issue I had was that the rooms have huge TVs in them. For a date night it can easily distract the guest, and the bright lights of it make the “mood lighting” falter.
Recommend the Mac and cheese, and the cherry espresso martini

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!

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.

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!

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.
