Our story

Marta explores coastal Italian fine dining

Marta plates with crudo and pasta
Harbor Point and the T. Rowe Price building on the Baltimore waterfront

Italian cooking is guided by the abundance of the sea, moving from pristine crudi, oysters, and caviar to handmade pastas, lobster, whole fish, and market-driven catches. Familiar Italian traditions meet unexpected flavors and techniques, with thoughtful wines, after-dinner cocktails, amaro, and desserts rounding out an experience meant to unfold slowly, from the first glass to the final bite.

Matthew Oetting

Chef Matthew Oetting created Marta in Butchers Hill as his expression of Italian-influenced cooking. Marta al Mare carries that spirit to Harbor Point, where the menu turns toward seafood, the dining room opens toward the water, and the experience changes from neighborhood restaurant to waterfront destination.
