John’s Tahiri woke up his mouth with a spicy tomato sauce that surrounded the chicken and veggies (he loved every bite and wiped the plate clean with some bread!) JT’s judged his El Greco shrimp to be delicious. Marty’s Botticelli had lots of shrimp and the creamy pesto sauce was interesting yet not overwhelming (it was so “rich” that he ended up taking some home with him). Our bargain salads were on the small side but hit the mark as a starter (especially considering how much of the delicious bread we had chowed down on.) When our entrees arrived, they proved a success all around. All four of us took advantage of the option to add a salad as a starter – John went for house salad while the others voted for Caesar salad. Reaching a decision about what we wanted wasn’t easy because a lot of items caught our attention! Marty decided on the “Botticelli” ($22 – penne pasta with shrimp, mushrooms, pesto and topped with feta named after the Italian artist), John opted for “Tahiri” ($18 – Spicy Moroccan chicken w/ sautéed onions, eggplant, & raisins over saffron rice named after a Moroccan artist), our friend JT went for the “El Greco” ($21 – Whole wheat linguine topped w/ blackened shrimp, chopped tomato, peas and Romano named after the Spanish master), and our other friend and b-day guy, TP, decided on the “Maryland Masterpiece” ($22.50 – a 5 oz crabcake with sweet potato fries). With the special or pasta entrées, you can add a small side salad for just $2 or a Caesar salad for $3.
You’ll find 10 appetizers ($8-$12), one or two special soups of the day (usually $6+ for a bowl), half a dozen sandwiches ($8-$12 and many more options at lunchtime), several side salads ($4-$8) and entrée salads ($9-$14), 12 entrée specialties ($18-$30) and 6 signature pastas ($18-$24). In line with the restaurant’s name, all of the menu offerings are named after artists or major periods of art (although figuring out the relationship between some menu items and their name wasn’t obvious to us! ). An energetic, outgoing young woman (the staff is mostly women) greeted our party of four and provided us with a basket of tempting mix of sour dough and dark bread with butter to munch on while we waited for our drinks and perused the menu. There’s also an adjacent bar/lounge with another dining room tucked behind it.
ARTFUL GOURMET OWINGS MILLS WINDOWS
Inside, there is a contemporary casual look with bold colors and a mix of booths and tables that sport stylish black linens for dinner while a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows in front provides an airy feel. It’s tucked way at the rear of a new strip mall whose buildings are designed to look like a row of stylish two-story brick townhouses (and there’s a large patio in front for al fresco dining in warmer weather). With the location out in Owings Mills “New Town” and about a mile from the mall, it took forever to talk Marty into finally making the trek here and giving it a try.
