A beloved Butchers Hill restaurant is getting a new sibling. Marta al Mare, a spin-off of Chef Matthew Oetting’s popular Marta concept, will be opening in Harbor Point later this year, bringing with it many of the menu items that made Marta such a hit, alongside fresh innovations, reports Baltimore Business Journal.
Marta al Mare will be occupying a 3,050 square foot ground floor space at 1307 Point Street. The restaurant will be opening as a part of the T. Rowe Price Global Headquarters and will feature scenic al fresco dining with a view of Point Park.
Marta al Mare is set to open this summer. While the restaurant will feature several of the Italian staples that made its older sibling such a success, it will also incorporate a larger range of seasonal seafood. Owner Oetting explains that achieving this end was a part of the attraction to this new location, saying: “I’ve been looking for the right opportunity to introduce a new twist on Marta that introduces fresh seafood for some time now, and the waterfront location at Harbor Point is the perfect opportunity.”
Future regulars can look forward to selecting from a menu featuring dishes such as hand-shaped pasta, toro arancini, and lobster saltimbocca. Marta al Mare will serve brunch six days a week, featuring “familiar brunch dishes with a modern Italian twist”.
