"This a BYOB restaurant. A package store is about one block away. Mare Nostrum is located in gentrified Fells Point. The ambiance is average, somewhat noisy. The clientele were mostly millenials The overall food theme is Turkish with some greek additions. My companion and I ordered stuffed calamari as starter. Four whole body calamari stuffed with red and yellow peppers, very gently fried without breading or other coating. Original and outstanding and recommended. Also had the greek salad (typical, large and good). Companion had whole bronzini, fried crispy. Impressive presentation and very well prepared. Also ordered Kofte which are spicy lamb meatballs. You get eight well endowed meatballs. No dessert ordered. Service provided by Ana, a young Brazilian woman, was attentive and excellent. Value is excellent (total bill for two with 20% tip was about $118, good value we thought). We recommend this restaurant for a private riposte and the excellent dishes."
