Marta Fine Food and Spirits

Absolutely amazing pasta and cocktails! Highly recommend the Don Juan and the Agnolotti Dal Plin (maybe the best risotto I've ever had??). We loved the mango cheesecake too!

So romantic! The beet carpaccio and strawberry panna cotta blew my mind! Matthew our server was so kind, knowledgeable, and made our experience so special.

We sat at the bar and it was so fabulous. We ate half the beet carpaccio before I realized I hadn’t snapped a picture. The food was fantastic, the drink menu stellar, perfect ambience and friendly staff.

Dinner here was awesome. Everything was fabulous and our waiter was one of the best we have had in Baltimore so far. Loved it. Will be back. Tuna Cannolis were our favorite dish!

Marta is by far one of our favorite restaurants in Baltimore! Drinks are creative, food is delicious, and service is outstanding! Matthew, our server, really went above and beyond to make sure we felt well taken care of! Would highly recommend for a special occasion!

Marta manages to be both lively and cozy simultaneously in a rowhouse that previously housed Salt (one of my all time favorite upscale restaurants) We went for a friend's birthday, and all 3 courses were delicious, beautifully presented, inventive, and not the same old menu that you find everywhere. Very sweet wait staff was super attentive, educated about the food and wine and made great suggestions. Our original wait staff had an emergency and had to leave in the middle of service, but seamlessly another wait person stepped in to covered us. Kudos to the front of house team for handling with such skill and ease. But the food was definitely the star of the show. For me, the standout was the tuna cannoli. I'm not even sure I can do justice to this deliciousness with a crunchy outer "cannoli" shell with a slight hint of sweet surrounding a creamy center of tuna crudi with little dots of avocado cream. And all was covered with a pistachio "dust." The spicy meatballs were delectable nestled in a cloud of creamy spicy ricotta. And the Duck and Foie Gras Panzotti (little triangle ravioli) was creamy, delicious and the perfect combination of delicate tastes. And the Tiramisu Affogato ended the dinner on a delicious note! And for two people with drinks it was really pretty a good deal for the quality if the food, service and location. We will be back! Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5

Disgusting food that is cold and raw. I didn't come here for sushi.

Amazing food and great service! Only downsides are it's so loud and noisy and tables are too close from each other. This is the reason I put 4 stars. Food is 5 stars. Try the tiramisu, its amazing!

Went here with my dining partner. It's not huge, and parking can be a nuisance.
Drinks were tasty, but LIGHT on the alcohol content.
The meatballs were small, but good.
Branzino still had the bones in it. We were told that 1 chef removes the bones and 1 doesn't, so check on that when you order.
I think there's a time limit at tables, but they were GRACIOUS in how they invited us to take a seat at the bar.
Two single stall restrooms.
Overall, we were pleased and will be back to try the other entrées that our server recommended.
Don't go with your cheap friends!

Parking: You're on your own for street parking, good luck because it's in a residential area

The food and the service at Marta was pretty good. The staff was friendly and our waiter, Allister, was great!!! He gave recommendations of common ordered items, explained ingredients, and was very knowledgeable about the menu.

We ordered the Campanelle pasta and Branzino for our entrees and meatballs for our appetizer - all were delicious and prepared quickly.

Parking was difficult but expected. Also, no stars lowered for this, but the slice of cake was a lot smaller than expected, albeit delicious.

Parking: Park on Patterson Park and walk down is probably easiest.

Was excited to try this place but I feel like it’s overhyped. Waited a while (15mins) to be seated into our table. Cute ambiance and loud. Service was ok. We told them it was a birthday celebration and didn’t receive anything special.

Meatballs cacio e pepe: 2/5
Campanelle , fave dish!! So creamy and full of umami flavors. Pasta perfectly cooked
Scallop , scallops cooked to perfection
Opera cake: 2/5, flavors good, not a fan of texture
Strawberry panna cotta: 3/5

Woke up thinking about the food from last night. A true 5 star experience

A lovely and charming location with delightful food and service. I ordered the caesar salad even though I haven't done that for years due to the great online reviews and it was delicious. The bronzino was out of this world, and the roma tomatoes and cannellini beans with it were perfection. My husband had the meatballs and the bolognese and said the bolognese was the best he has ever had. We can't wait to return.

My family planned a grand bday celebration at another restaurant and when we showed up they abruptly told us that our reservation for 9 had been cancelled! Hungry and frustrated I made a call to Marta knowing that a walk in party of 9 was a tall ask. Not only did they go out of their way to accommodate us, Matthew treated us with kindness, enthusiasm, and expert service. Tue hospitality! Every dish was sublime and cocktails were perfectly balanced. Already thinking about the next meal!

Marta is an absolute delight! The food, drinks, and wait service are all incredible - highlights include the Duck and Foie Graz Panzotti, Bistecca con salsa verde, and the Opera cake. Our drinks were also great - one was an old fashioned type and the other was a fig cocktail, but I don’t have the names. Our waiter, Greeta was knowledgeable and friendly, and we had a great time! Compliments to the chef and entire staff!
