Costiera · Harbor East
Costiera gives coastal Mediterranean cooking a home near Little Italy. The menu centers seafood, vegetable-rich dishes, crudos, fresh pasta, and plates such as swordfish meatballs over house-milled polenta. A spacious dining room and bar support a longer meal that moves from small plates to fish and pasta.
Samos Restaurant · Greektown
Samos is a Greektown fixture with an open kitchen and a grill at the center of the room. Gyros, souvlaki, and moussaka are part of the draw. The Oldham Street restaurant has served neighborhood regulars for decades, with counter takeout alongside its dining room.
Cafe Fili · Mount Vernon
Café Fili brings Mediterranean mezze to a Mount Vernon counter-service café. Hummus, baba ghanouj, seasoned pita chips, and warm paninis on barbari flatbread give a table several ways to share. The Cathedral Street room has high windows, a market section, and seating for a slower meal.
Ammoora · Locust Point
Ammoora brings Syrian cooking to a formal dining room at the Ritz-Carlton Residences. Its Levantine menu includes mezze such as beet mutabal and muhammara, followed by composed larger plates. Inlaid furniture and an Arabic coffee service carry the restaurant's Syrian point of view into the room.
La Jetée · Harbor Point
La Jetée looks to Provence for its waterfront menu, bringing South of France dishes into conversation with Chesapeake seafood. Panisse with garlic aioli and rosemary fougasse show the direction of the kitchen. Its Harbor Point dining room connects that Mediterranean coast to Baltimore's own harbor.
