Wow! I have always driven by Costiera and been intrigued... it did not disappoint! The service was great and made our experience fun. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was definitely small, so I would either make a reservation well in advance or come sit at the bar early![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When you come I highly recommend the short rib, one of the best dishes I had in a WHILE. read more

Costiera went beyond my expectations. I really wanted to do restaurant week even though the whole north eastern seaboard got slammed with the worst storm its seen in 10 years. With main roads and side streets finally cleared... I booked a RW dinner res at Costiera. There is a parking garage across the street for 5 dollars. We walked over (still icy ugh) but made it in and were seated. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Interior was very nicely done up with wicker basket light fixtures and a nice colorful mural above the host stand.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server AJ took great care of us- they were funny, attentive and very friendly. For restaurant week the menu honestly was fantastic with many options for every person's palate and dietary preferences. I went with the octopus appetizer, squid ink bucatini with calamari, and a pound cake with lemon curd and mint whipped cream. Every single thing I had was delicious. The octopus was grilled perfectly and tender and the bean puree and potato paired nicely. The pasta was umami and not too tomatoey or acidic. My pound cake was tasty with the tanginess of the curd pairing well with the whipped cream. My boyfriend enjoyed his mushroom soup, his mushroom bolognese rigatoni( i tried this, I would absolutely order this next time)and a decadent chocolate tart. If you're reading this and they extended their restaurant week menu, go now and enjoy a fantastic meal. read more

Came here with two friends before a comedy show and had a nice time! We were seated right away and the service was good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I really liked the vibe of the place, lots of windows and natural light.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We split a few dishes, including the hamachi crudo, octopus, and two pastas. I found the seafood dishes to stand out more than the pastas. The pastas were good, but the seafood was great. I would return! read more

All of the food here is so fresh and expertly prepared. I started with the olives and anchovies which were very good. The star dish of the night was the scallops crudo. It was one of the best dishes I have eaten all year. The steak tartare was excellent. Then I moved to the pasta and all of the pastas are made fresh in house. I got their version of Bolegnese. It was also really good. And I had a great bottle of Amorone and finished the night with a great Amaro. The service was great and knowledgeable. read more

Absolutely love this place - always above & beyond from the service team, NA drinks are the best in town and the cocktails are just as good. The menu is perfect for sharing, or a table of one with good variety for all diets. The trick is that I'm finding this often delicious, surprisingly creative menu inconsistent lately with wide variety in freshness, cooking quality and portions. Hopefully they will sort it out, it's an excellent spot to try out with a crew if you haven't! read more

It's 3 days later and I have caught myself day dreaming about this meal multiple times. I cannot recommend this beautiful tapas joint enough. [[HIGHLIGHT]]To start: the restaurant itself?! Beautiful. It's so light and airy. I love all the plants, the exposed brick, the local artwork. The ceramics they've chosen I want to put in my purse and run away with. Everything is so thoughtfully chosen it's lovely.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We started our tapas journey with the focaccia with whipped ricotta. This was the lightest, fluffiest focaccia I've ever had. If I could make mine turn out this good I think I could take over the world. We paired that with the Tuna Crudo, which was also so delicious. Really well balanced. Nice and bright! The two of them paired together was delicious! The ~Star~ of my night though. Their grilled octopus. I was nervous that they wouldn't have it because I didn't reserve one in advance as they request but I was lucky!! And I'm so lucky because that was the best preparation of octopus I've had in my life. The tentacles were so tender they were borderline supple. The waitstaff was also just so kind. I wish I could remember our waiters name. My only complaint/ask is a better selection of NA options. They do serve Tortuga Kombucha, had 2 mocktail options, and 1 na beer. As someone who's mostly sober I'd love to see more diversity in that menu! read more

We made a late night reservation at Costiera, which was just a few steps away from our hotel. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They weren't busy on a late weekday night, which was great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The server was very nice and I really enjoyed his help with all of our selections. The drinks were good! Great flavor profiles that matched the descriptions on the menu. The focaccia was very good! We had the simplest version with EVOO, rosemary and sea salt and it was perfect. A great complement for our pastas. For the entree, I had the corn and ricotta agnolotti. From the moment it reached the table, the aroma set the bar, and this dish did not disappoint. The mushrooms were paired perfectly with everything else in this dish and I finished every bite. My husband's Tagliatelle was equally as good. 5 STARS! We only tried a few items on the menu, but it was impressive. They weren't large plates, so we understand that we finished them without a problem. It was late, so we didn't have dessert. I would love to go back and try more dishes in the future! read more

I wanted a small and chill birthday dinner, I celebrated at Costiera. I am so happy with my decision. The service was great and drinks/food were ALL delightful. I started with the Fennel & Celery Caesar which was an interesting twist on the classic. I was definitely surprised that I enjoyed it so much. The whipped ricotta and homemade focaccia is a MUST. You literally don't want to miss out. I also ordered the Hamachi Crudo which was fresh but did have a bitter flavor (maybe the fennel oil?) that I wasn't crazy about. All of our meals were cooked to perfection. read more

**Flavorful food, colorful decor, friendly staff!! Oh my gosh, this is one of my new favorite restaurants in Baltimore! I love everything about this place. Starting from when you first enter, the space is cozy and inviting. The artwork on the walls is BEAUTIFUL and so colorful. The staff was friendly when greeting and throughout the service. My partner and I came on a Tuesday afternoon, so we tried some happy hour items. It wasn't too busy there. We got all 3 bruschetta and the bolo fries. Of the bruschetta, I loved the mushroom one the most. The tuna one was too fishy for my taste. And the prosciutto was good but not incredibly memorable. Now for the fries, man were they crispy! The ragu on top was very flavorful. This dish did lean too salty for us, but not a huge deal and was still overall well-done. We shared the main dish of squid ink bucatini. All I can say is WOW. The braised calamari was delectable and perfectly bite-sized. The bucatini tasted incredible and so fresh. And my favorite part--the mint incorporated in the dish! It made every few bites taste refreshing, perfect for our warm summer day. I wish I tried the spritzes (I heard the prickly pear one is popular), but I usually don't drink during the daytime. Maybe next time! Overall, such a nice experience and honestly, a good price too! I love pastas but I find many places in Baltimore to overprice them. This place feels fair. Costiera, please continue keeping the prices reasonable and I will be a forever regular! :) read more

Great dinner at Costiera last night. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Quaint spot, cozy and comfortable with a coastal Mediterranean vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was spectacular - knowledgeable and attentive. We had a large party so we split several appetizers. The beef tartare was one of my favorites along with the focaccia and whipped ricotta. The corn arancini has potential, but because it's so sweet the accompanying red sauce needs to pack some more punch. The tuna crudo and fried olives were great. For my main course I had the squid ink bucatini which really delivered. Huge portion and huge flavor. Other people in my party had the branzino, the rigatoni with mushroom bolognese, and the tagliatelle with pork and beef ragu - all of which were fantastic. The prices were reasonable and we all left full and happy. I will definitely return. read more

Even though I live 3 hours away from here I'm definitely going back. The Noodles where outstandingly good ricotta donuts where Amazing they even gave us free lemonade samples ( they were better them any lemonade I've ever had before). The restaurant was Beautiful they had art that I loved ( scan the QR code to buy some ). The owner was so nice and so was everyone else. If you live in the area (Or 3 hours away) I will definitely recommend. 5 Stars read more

I think Baltimore is oversaturated with Italian/Mediterranean restaurants so this place was not on my radar. But when my friends and I saw it on the restaurant week line up we decided that was a good a time as any to try it out. The space is interesting. I never went Clark Burger or whatever it was before that so I'm not sure if they changed anything. It definitely gives fast casual vibes with raised seating section. It's cozy. I got the octopus for an app, the bolognese, and ricotta donuts. Everything was really delicious! The octopus was perfectly seasoned and cooked. I would have liked a heartier meat sauce but the pasta was fresh and expertly prepared. The most pleasant surprise of the evening were the donuts. I don't really have a sweet tooth, so these were just the right amount of sweet. Contrary to their appearance they were light, delicate, and fluffy. I'd come back just for dessert and a spritz. Looking forward to dropping in again for happy hour. read more

Delicious meal! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Small place but not crammed, great for a date night or just a high quality meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had focaccia with whipped feta, kale and celery Caesar, and octopus for apps/tapas followed by the Squid Ink Bucatini and Wild Boar Agnolatti with the Chocolate dessert and an espresso. Everything tasted fresh and hand made, and was delicious. I am from out of town but wish I could go back again and again to try the whole menu! Service was prompt, knowledgeable, and made great recommendations! Reservations were made easily the day before. I'd highly recommend this restaurant if you find yourself in Little Italy or just Baltimore at all! Worth an hour drive! read more

What an incredible find in Baltimore! From the creative blend of global culinary influences to the vibrant energy that comes through in the menu, website, and social media, this place feels like it's on track for a Michelin star very soon. The food was absolutely outstanding--every single dish impressed us. We started with: Crispy Castelvetrano Olives - Such a clever idea. The lemon parsley aioli really stole the show here--bright and flavorful. House-Made Focaccia with Whipped Caputo Bros. Ricotta (+$6) - I'm not usually a bread person, but this was insanely good. The whipped ricotta was creamy, airy, and packed with flavor. Marinated Dayboat Sea Scallops - The lemongrass vinaigrette and basil brought out the natural sweetness of the fresh scallops beautifully. It's a light, refreshing starter. For mains, we had: Grilled Spanish Rock Octopus - Loved the creative pairing with hummus. The octopus was cooked perfectly, though there was a bit too much hummus without anything to pair it with. Squid Ink Bucatini - The mint added a bright note, and the subtle kick of spice made each bite more exciting. Complex, balanced, and memorable. Rigatoni - Still can't get over how something so simple could be so unbelievably delicious. I also tried their draft Prosecco on our waitress's recommendation--it was my first time having Prosecco on draft, and it was so fresh and crisp. A fun surprise that added to the whole experience. If this restaurant were in Manhattan, we'd be regulars for sure. read more

A mixed experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Costiera is a beautiful space near Harbor East and little Italy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's small and definitely recommend reservations.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waitress AJ was great - she was knowledgeable, kind, and fast. I hate to take off one star for food they didn't have, but this was a birthday dinner for me and they didn't have the 2 dishes that I'd wanted from their menu. At the time of this review (4 days after we ate there), the wrong menu with these dishes is still online. Aside from that, I think what we did have was pretty good! But the prices were exorbitant and not rightfully so, so another star gone. We got the grilled octopus appetizer which was delicious but over $20 for 1 piece of octopus. We ordered focaccia bread which was $9, this is bread we make from scratch so I know how easy it is. I know you are paying for ambience of course, but I thought it would've been a large loaf, it was a small cast iron skillet size. The squid ink pasta was pretty good and that price I actually thought was most reasonable. I liked the drink selections as well - some fun and funkier cocktails. The menu does boldly call out "100% free of seed oils" - which, I am pretty confused why this would be of importance. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lastly, while I thought the space was beautiful, I was a bit taken aback by the "art" on the walls, very harsh scribbles.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It seemed to take away from an otherwise elegant ambience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I am not sure I will return any time soon but I would give them another chance, maybe for a less special occasion. read more

I've known about Costiera since they started doing pop-ups at Southpaw in 2023. I didn't know of their first restaurant gnochho which opened and closed in 2019. I was enamored with their fried Castelvetrano olives. No one else is doing that in the city and it's so incredibly addictive. HANDS DOWN THE BEST THING ON THEIR MENU. I remember enjoying their pastas during their pop-ups, which is why I went when they first opened in 2024, and I recently just went back to celebrate their first birthday in January. Their tickets were pretty cheap and they had chef Jessie from Sally O's along with Doug from Southpaw. The review here is going to be based off of the one year party because it's been so long since I had their regular menu items. Yes, it did serve a lot of the appetizers that they do feature on their regular menu. I've been on a wine kick so I ordered wine and was so pleased to see they carry really great selection from one of my favorite distributors, Genin Selections. I loved their pinot Nero - an Italian Pinot Noir The highlights for this menu was the octopus they got it so tender I am always disappointed with their arancini - I just feel like it's always so flavorless too oily. The service was so spectacular and the one year anniversary event was so cozy if they have one next year, I will definitely come back. They were so friendly and just really celebratory and with good cause. January is always such a slow month for restaurants so I was happy to support them. I will definitely come back to try their pastas again because I really don't remember them, and I will say their espresso martini was one of the best ones I've had in the city. I do you think espresso martinis are way overdone - so cheugy now, but this version was delightful. read more

Taking over a space on Central Ave that has been a bit of a revolving door over the past few years, Costiera brings culinary and ambiance chops that are worthy of a hopeful, more longstanding residency. Walking in, the split level layout with prominent bar on the ground floor offers a cozy, more intimate energy than the busy street outside. Parking tip: Little Italy garage is a flat $5 during happy hour/dinner hours. While our waiter left a little to be desired in terms of his ability to speak to the menu and wine list, he was nevertheless attentive, welcoming and hospitable. Let's talk food and drink though! The cocktail menu is fun and inventive. We opted for wine, and were pleasantly surprised to see an impressive selection at very reasonable prices. A unique orange/red blend paired perfectly with our meal. Steering towards a family style approach, we selected one of the crudos, veggie dishes and a pasta. The crudo got 5 stars from the meat eater at the table and was beautifully plated. That Roasted Honeynut Squash though! Perhaps the standout of the evening for me. Melt in your mouth level roasted squash is layered in near caramelized honey date vanilla butter, which collides exceptionally well with the peppery pop of arugula and pickled shallots. The Rigatoni also did not disappoint. The mint arugula mint pesto is light and bright and applied in just the right ratio so as not to drown the dish. The walnuts add a rich crunch to the dish, with the delicata squash contributing a touch of sweetness alongside creamy stracciatella. Across the board, a 5 star first impression Costiera! We'll definitely be back. read more

There's truly nothing remarkable about this place. It's in a prime location by Harbor East. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very small which could be cozy with the appropriate atmosphere but it wasn't. Instead it felt sterile, like a food court.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Noise level was high so be prepared to practically yell while conversing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Despite arriving 30 mins early to our reservation, we were still seated 15 mins late. Very little communication from the staff about the status of our reservation. Food was mediocre. I honestly don't even remember what I got. Our table of six was assisted by two servers and they were great, if a little stretched thin, I think. They provided great service despite being short-handed on a busy Friday night. read more

FINALLY made it to Costiera! The inside is a lot smaller than I assumed it would be but every inch is vibrant and sunny. They make great use of the space with a spacious bar, bench seating, and a dining room which is slightly elevated up a couple steps. We ordered the radicchio caesar salad, grilled octopus, hamachi crudo, the squid ink pasta with gluten free noodles, and the basque cheesecake for dessert. Everything was delicious! - The grilled octopus was the star of the show and definitely their specialty here. The potatoes and puree it came with paired so well. - The hamachi crudo was a delicious bite with a unique topping of kumquat and creme fraiche, but I felt that it could've used some course salt flakes on top to really make it pop. - The radicchio caesar was delicious. I love seeing salads with celery -- underrated veg if you ask me. - The squid ink pasta had lovely bites of calamari. It was more tomato-based than squid ink but the gluten free noodles were perfect! Those noodles are apparently imported from Italy and it shows. Probably the best GF pasta I've had at a restaurant and so grateful they weren't just borning penne shapes! - The basque cheesecake was insane and totally GF! Such rich flavor and would've paired well with a scoop of vanilla gelato. -The Costiera spritz was refreshing and delicious as well. Service at the bar was attentive and personable. Shoutout to Sam for a fantastic first visit at Costiera! We'll be back, for sure. read more

Once Clark Burger, I'm glad we now have a nice Mediterranean restaurant in the Harbor East neighborhood in Costiera. I've only been inside once picking up takeout when it was Clark Burger, but I like what they turned the space into. We ran into an old waiter from Salt Tavern who now works here. Nice and friendly person. We got the BOLO fries off the happy hour menu, which we loved. We also got the hamachi crudo, short rib, and tagliatelle. Out of the three, I preferred the crudo because on this hot summer day, that dish was very refreshing with the kumquats, dill and pickled onions. We ended our meal with the Chocolate Basque Cheesecake. All-in-all, it was a great experience and we would definitely come back. read more

We shared the Fried Chickpea Panelle and the Mushroom Escabeche & Ricotta bruschetta which were both so good. I got the Squid Ink Bucatini pasta while my friend enjoyed their Arugula Salad.

I've been to Costiera for dinner twice and, while I love the vibes, the space, and the service, I've been underwhelmed by the food both times. On my recent visit, I shared four dishes with my friend: their hamachi crudo (with blood orange vinaigrette, creme fraiche, pickled shallot, and dill); their fennel and celery Caesar (with romaine, radicchio, anchovy dressing, Grana Padano, and focaccia crumbs); the grilled Spanish rock octopus (with local black turtle bean hummus, baby red tomatoes, and harissa yogurt); and rabbit confit cappelletti (with spinach pasta, hedgehog mushrooms, and taleggio fonduta). Of these dishes I did really enjoy the crudo and thought the pasta was almost great. I think all the dishes were underseasoned. The Caesar was my least favorite, because it was just lacking in flavor - not enough anchovy flavor - lacking in umami and salt. It tasted like lettuce dressed in something white that just had very little flavor. I thought the octopus's char had been pushed too far, giving it a burnt taste, that I didn't enjoy, but I thought the texture of the octopus was just right, and that's usually harder. I also found the accompaniments strange on that dish (really thick bean hummus and too little of the sauce). The crudo is a pleasure to eat - a really fun dish. And the pasta was good even if I found the mushrooms stems a little woody and fibrous and the dish a little underseasond, too. Their beverage list is great, and my friend and I shared a bottle of wine we really enjoyed. The space is great (with big loft/industrial-looking windows and lots of plants. The service was also great. Unfortunately, the food just doesn't wow me compared to other restaurants in Baltimore. read more

Fantastic! What a great spot for good food, and the service was equally warm and speedy. I had the tagliatelle ragu, house made, and it was stellar! For dessert, I had the apple tiramisu, perfect, light and a cloud-like ending to the meal. Will return the next time I visit Baltimore. read more

I cannot recommend Costiera enough! I came with a large group last week and they were so helpful and accommodating I wondered if their food was bad but no, the food was amazing too! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was very cute - high ceilings, white brick walls - and it wasn't too loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was great and they were so kind in allowing us to split up the bill. Everyone raved about their meals (the focaccia with ricotta, squid ink pasta and mushroom rigatoni were particular favorites, as were the ricotta donuts for dessert).

Love love love this new spot in Fells! Pretty easy free street parking all around, and the inside is super vibey! The food was incredibleee. We did restaurant week and got 3 courses for $45 each and split an $18 carafe of red wine. We tried the grilled octopus and arancini to start. Both of us had the rigatoni as our main, and then we shared the ricotta doughnuts and chocolate torta for dessert. Everything was delicious! Service was friendly but not overbearing.

New Mediterranean/Italian restaurant! I went early on in its opening time and really liked it! We didn't need a reservation at the time, but were easily able to make one online. Parking is not too bad in the few blocks around. The food was overall very good! as a vegetarian, i got a pasta which I greatly enjoyed-- it was a Pesto with butternut squash. They have a lot of fish/meat based dishes and this one was the only option at the time. Id like to go again but would like some more options as a vegetarian! The vibes are very cute inside and they tried to create a nice intimate vibe. read more

Costiera - Butternut squash Pesto - Mediterranean Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

An excellent place for dinner. The ambiance was cute and cozy, and the bathrooms were clean. Drinks: My husband enjoyed his Negroni, and I had a refreshing and not overly sweet sangria, which was a unique take on the classic. Appetizer: The salad was delicious and fresh, with tasty pickled onions and dressing. We also tried the beef tartare, which was very fresh but could have used more seasoning. Dinner: My husband liked his steak, though it was slightly more cooked than the medium rare we requested, but still delicious. I had the squid ink bucatini, which I found light and refreshing, though a bit bland. Dessert: The tiramisu was good but a touch too bitter due to the espresso. Service: Outstanding! Our waitress was very pleasant, attentive, and provided great suggestions. Overall: I really enjoyed this place and will definitely return to try more items on the menu. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere at Costiera is lovely and the Mediterranean vibe is spot on.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] however, the portions for the small plates felt a bit underwhelming given the price point.

What a great find in Baltimore! I was in town for a work trip and was looking for something outside of the touristy part of town to eat with some coworkers and this was a hit! They have a variety of tapas to select from and very affordable as well. We got the pumpkin pasta, swordfish meatballs, octopus, crudo, and chicken paella. The swedish meatballs with polenta was my favorite! The greatest texture for meatballs with fish as a protein! Second up was the octopus which was perfectly cooked. Overall, if I was ever in town again I would definitely visit this place again. Service was friendly too. read more

Tried this place out on a whim on Valentine's Day. It's a small, cute restaurant in Fells. Their menu is a mix of Italian and Mediterranean, lots of seafood options. Service: fantastic Drinks: yummy and decently priced Food: Appetizers - you have two options, I would recommend both the olives and the focaccia! Main - the chestnut & goat cheese agnolotti was fantastic! Highly recommend. Very flavorful. It's also really rich. They had a special for the night - tortellini en brodo which was advertized as a sharing dish. I was a little disappointed; there's not enough mussels and clams for sharing. The fish-saffron brith was yummy. A slice of bread/baguette would also have been a great addition with the broth. For dessert we tried the olive cake with lemon + thyme ice cream, and their ricotta donuts. The donuts come with coffee ice cream. The olive cake was good, but it felt very greasy. I loved the donuts! And all the ic cream was great. All of this came to $130 ish without gratuity. read more
