Really great small place. Really nice and knowledgeable bar tender and waitress. Try the home made limoncello. We had the whole Bronzino and squid ink pasta. Everything was fantastic.

Cute little place in an interesting location. Nice atmosphere and inviting dishes. The fried olives are surprisingly good. Dishes are a little on the small side if you know what I mean.

Costiera is a must-try Baltimore restaurant! Great service, amazing food. You have to order the dessert (all made in house)!

Went here with our family for a birthday dinner and the food was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted so fresh! We’re so happy to have discovered this spot. It would be perfect for a date night!

Costiera is small, inviting, and absolutely worth a visit. From the moment we arrived, the service stood out as impeccable. The staff was attentive without ever hovering, quick with suggestions, and made us feel genuinely taken care of.
When we walked in, there were two tables available right away, but they asked if we’d mind waiting just a minute so they could seat us at a much better window table. That kind of thoughtfulness goes a long way these days, and we really appreciated it. Our server checked in often, was kind, and gave fantastic recommendations that made us feel like we ordered the very best of the menu.
The food was excellent across the board. The pasta was perfectly cooked and tasted even better than it looked. The octopus was a standout dish—tender, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Everything we tried was balanced, well-executed, and memorable.
All in all, we had a flawless experience here. Costiera delivers on service, food, and atmosphere. Highly recommend, especially if you’re looking for something a little different done really well.

We visited Friday, August 22 at 6 PM and we're treated to eclectic menu, amazing flavors and the best service ever! We even received a prize of a pitcher and a glass because we admired it so and wanted to buy one, but we gifted it instead. Thank you for making our night!

The food here was incredible. We were here for a celebration. Starting with crispy olives and moving on to the feel & celery caesCaesar, grilled octopus and then the rigatoni. It was all so different, creative and so scrumptious.
The fried olives were a nice appetizer as the salty zing of the olives were sealed with the fried coating. Arancini balls with corn were to die for.
The squid ink bucatini was fantastic. The calamari was cooked to perfection - the right amount of tender without being chewy soaking up the sauce so well!
Ambiance was perfect for a late summer dinner with friends. Their walls celebrated warm, fun and inviting art.

Nothing was bad, but nothing was particularly good or memorable (except for the homemade bread, which was our favorite bite). The four of us got different drinks (3 regular, 1 NA), appetizers, mains, and desert. The drinks were a real disappointment - one of them were fine and the others we left half finished. The appetizers and main meals were all ok. The deserts were good, but not great. Maybe we got them on a bad day, but with so many other great places around we won't be back.

Sat at the bar. Loved the casual and friendly vibe. Small plate approach for me. Crispy olives were very unique and delicious. The yellowfin was the star. Swordfish meatballs were a great combo with the hearty polenta.
Really great small place. Really nice and knowledgeable bar tender and waitress.
Try the home made limoncello.
