Marta Fine Food and Spirits

"10/10 experience. Excellent food, service, ambiance, and parking was easy for the time of day but I could see it being an issue for a more attended dinner service. We went during lunch on a Friday and it wasn't crowded at all. The music was so great I actually asked the server about the playlist. Some of the best food I've had in Baltimore."

"Superb service from Allister and a training server Cullen. We tried the delicious bread, meatballs, lobster bisque to start. Our dinner took a little time so they comped us a goat milk ricotta and it was awesome. We ordered the ziti, gnocchi, chicken and ribeye. Everything was very tasteful and the flavors are not the norm. Desserts were also yummy. A truly unique and enjoyable experience."

"With many accolades as one of the city's best new restaurants, I walked in on a Tuesday evening around 8:30 p.m. without a reservation and got a spot at the bar. Here's my experience. 1) Food: For dinner, I got the meatballs and the Caesar salad. Both were great, especially the meatballs. The cheese sauce it comes with is divine and the grilled bread helped me swipe it all up from the bowl. The salad was good, especially with the parmesan chip on top, but I was hoping it would be a bit unique. It's not- just a standard Caesar salad. 2) Drinks: The menu is large with house cocktails for $15, beer, and even an amaro tasting. Enjoying sweet drinks, I got he In The Fif of Thyme, but it was way too sweet and had an odd taste. 3) Service: The bartender was kind and attentive. My food came out within ten minutes of ordering. 4) Space: It's small, but beautiful with two dining rooms and a bar. There are several restrooms. 5) Parking: It took me awhile to find an open spot, but I found a few free spots along Patterson Park."

"We went to Marta’s to to celebrate my husband’s birthday. It was our first time, we live an hour and a half away in VA. I picked Marta based on the excellent reviews and the photos online. The inside of the restaurant is so warm and inviting. We had a table next to the window and bar. My husband loved where we sat. He kept commenting about it. We started with the bread and butter, and the bread was absolutely amazing! Then next the steak tartare, and yellowtail sushi. Both were excellent. We all ended up ordering a pasta dish. I had the Campanelle Z. With lobster it was so delicious. My husband went with Bolognese, which he very much enjoyed. Our friend ordered Linguine fruitti di mare. I remember looking over and he was nearly done! I’m guessing it was a hit! His entree did look so good! Now I have to mention our server Zac, he was so wonderful! Truly made our experience very special. He was super friendly and so accommodating. I highly recommend asking for him. We also ordered 3 different desserts. The Opera cake, a dessert with a pudding and fruit, and the 4 chocolate balls with chocolate sauce. The chocolate balls were not my favorite. I was expecting them to taste a bit different. But I loved loved the first two desserts. They are a must to have!!! We all had such an amazing time at Marta. I highly recommend this restaurant. You will really enjoy the food!!! It’s too bad I don’t live closer, this is my new favorite spot."

"Went here for my birthday! Food was delicious. Although I ordered the Gazpatcho to try and it wasn't my thing. That's totally on me. The soup itself was good. My main dish was the Ziti Bolognese and oh my stars was it delicious. It has a slight spice to it. Gives it a more complex flavor. Service was a little slow, but most likely due to it being a lazy Sunday and the host was on triple duty. Still, I would definitely recommend this place! It's bright and airy and the food is good."
