The 22 Best Restaurants In Baltimore - Baltimore - The Infatuation

"Marta manages the oxymoron of “unpretentious fine dining” perfectly. Staffed by servers with an encyclopedic knowledge of the menu, the space is intimate, with banquette seating wrapping the dining room and a handful of chairs at the bar where you’ll probably be chatting with your neighbors by the end of the meal. Most of the dishes center around twists on classic Italian dishes, like beet carpaccio and a tuna tartare cannoli, but there’s also a fantastic ziti bolognese. Save room for the tiramisu that’s served with espresso poured over a half moon of chocolate into a cup of mousse, lady fingers, and crunchy chocolate pearls. It’ll quiet anyone who actively hates on wet cake." - michele berry
