Marea

Amazing service. Brought our own bottle for a birthday dinner as well as our own cake. Everything from entering the restaurant to leaving was exquisite, service wise. We ordered the lobster, oysters and octopus for our appetizers, and several other mains for a table of 2. Some dishes have a slightly saltier/heavier taste than we are accustomed to, but it was still delicious. Our waiter was great and the maitre d is always helpful with our requests.

My brother and I came here to celebrate his admission to UT. The service was remarkable but the taste didn’t match the price. One of the oysters didn’t smell and taste well. Our server immediately changed it after he knew this. The bone marrow spaghetti is very oily and I recommend people order this after careful considerations. We didn’t order entrees after tasting the spaghetti. The breads and desserts were the best in our meals. I love gelatos and the pine nut sauce! After all, it’s a good restaurant and maybe we hold way too high expectations after seeing those good reviews.

The dishes here have a wonderfully complex flavor palette! Everything tried was multidimensional and rich. The service was extraordinary and the staff very friendly and polite. I waited a bit too long for my main chicken dish but other than that, everything was exceptional. It's a good place to have a business lunch or just to relax with some delicious pasta options.

Exceptional service seems rare these days. So pleased that we spent our afternoon celebrations at Marea! We had a small wedding service in Central Park and brought our little party of four to celebrate the occasion here. Everything from the service to the ambiance—and of course, the food were exceptional. An excellent place to celebrate or just make it a special night

Absolutely superb service and amazing Italian seafood dinner. The dishes are prepared and presented impeccably. Quality is top notch and every item on the menu is delicious. You cannot go wrong here. Prices are adequate to the quality, ambience, service and location.Food: 5/5

Marea was incredible. The atmosphere, ambiance, and staff created the perfect environment for a romantic evening. The staff were pleasant and minimally intrusive; yet fulfilled every need. Absolutely perfect. The food was unbelievably good and wine pairings were spectacular with the recommended pasta dishes. Dessert was the cherry on top for sure.

The food was incredible and the waiters knew the menu very well and were attentive. From the moment you enter the restaurant, you know you’re going to have a good time. Their signature pasta dish is a must. We’ll definitely come back.Recommended dishesBone Marrow, Oysters Beausoleil North Shore Gold Sweet Petit

I’ve been going to Marea for about 10 years now and it’s one of my favorite restaurants in NYC. It has a big beautiful open dining room with quite a bit of space in between tables. Lovely for date night or a special dinner with family. Went there for Christmas everything was delicious and our waiter was so kind!

My husband and I were visiting NYC to celebrate my birthday and our wedding anniversary. This was a great fine dining experience, and if I could go back tomorrow, I would. There were wonderful menu options, some that we got to try, and some that we didn't, but they're on the list for next time. Highlights of our evening were the casarecce entree and the pavlova dessert, pictured....and the picture doesn't do it justice..easily one of the best desserts I have ever had. I dream of that dessert at night!. Service was top notch, and overall it was just a wonderful experience. Highly recommended.

It has been a dream of mine to dine at Marea for 3 years and the experience did not disappoint. Dan our waiter was lovely and attentive and made the experience quite special for my father and I. Highlights of the meal were definitely the gnochetti with the shrimp and the branzino. The olive oil cake was also very light which was a nice way to close out the meal. Only thing more I could of asked for was a cappuccino but unfortunately their espresso machine was down but that is clearly circumstantial. Overall a truly amazing experience and will be dining again very soon!
