The Hottest New Restaurants to Try Around Baltimore

"Lots of hearts were broken when the Brewer’s Hill corner darling, Gnocco, shuttered its doors in 2019. But after some taste-testing pop-ups at Southpaw, duo Brian Lavin and Sam White opened another permanent space, Costiera, fittingly on the edge of Little Italy in January. Expect a similar menu to their first venture, including squid-ink gnocchi, Long Island scallops, homemade pasta, and a pork chop entree, according to Baltimore magazine. The sun-drenched haven sports a 12-seat bar and artwork from a local muralist." - Jess Mayhugh, Tierney Plumb
