Marea

My wife and I just had a lovely birthday dinner at Marea. We took the tasting menu and loved it. Exquisite food, attentive service, pleasantly quiet ambience. Perfect experience.

Service slow but management comped the drinks. Very nice and appropriate

Our favorite Italian

We had such a memorable experience here. The food was absolutely delicious...from the bread basket to the coffee...every single dish! We didn't want to leave a single morsel on the plate. It was our 40th anniversary and we truly felt celebrated and special. The pacing of the meal was good, we never felt rushed. All of the staff was so friendly; no stuffiness here, just genuine friendliness and happiness. Totally recommend it.

Marea si always guarantee of excelent food and service.

Phenomenal food

A true dining experience! Wonderful food with impeccable service! The attention to detail is top notch. I will definitely come back and recommend to everyone I know to dine at Marea.

Excellent! *

Food was average, not a Michelim star restaurant, just average regular restaurant. Pasta was too soft, like kids pasta. Service good. Wine list very good. Not worth the price and the reviews.

Excellent!

Our first visit and we really enjoyed it. Great location, nice seating area, ample space between tables. Good drinks and wine list with some good value wines. Excellent oysters, delicious crab pasta, and grilled prawns. Thought the food was really good.
Shame about the bathrooms though! Please send in the cleaners more than once a day!

Impeccable service combined with exquisite food in a beautiful setting. Can’t say any more than that.

Loved it! Try the Troufle Rissoto

We loved the atmosphere, professional service and excellent cuisine!

We have been to this restaurant in the past , it was much better previously . I ordered the Dover sole which was $70 , it was over salted , the pasta which we ordered was never brought to the table . The waiter said we didn’t order it . The waiter was eh . Overall it was ok to good .

Simply Perfect! Always Perfect!

The food was good not great . My appetizer was very nice with very clear flavors . The risotto was basically mush. And it was super expensive for lunch glad I didn’t have dinner there . The wait staff was snobby .

One of the highest levels of Italian food and overall experiences one can get! Absolutely stunning!

Elegant Sunday brunch.

I dined at Marea to celebrate a birthday. I have never experienced a restaurant not acknowledging a celebration in any way - not even a verbal happy birthday never mind the bare minimum one scoop of ice cream with a candle. I dine out approximately 4-5 times per week for business and about 2 times a week for pleasure. This experience fell far below the experience one would think for a restaurant of this caliber. Literally I have had more of a celebratory greeting and acknowledgement from two star restaurants. I was thinking of holding my parents 50 wedding anniversary at Marea. Now I clearly know not to and will make sure my foodie friends know to never celebrate a special occasion at this restaurant

Birthday celebration

Of all NYC dining, we keep returning to Marea. And why not! It is consistent in all respects and without a hint of pomposity.

We have tried to get into this restaurant on past visits to no avail. We finally planned a nice late lunch. While it was good, it was nothing special and cost 2 weeks groceries to boot. Would not return.

Wonderful atmosphere, food and wine choices. Very quiet too.

We enjoyed our meal enormously. It was our 4th visit to Marea. Excellent.

Great atmosphere and delicious food. Service was excellent!

Great restaurant! Make sure to have a reservation, very popular! Food was very good.

The service is what made our experience just ok. Our waiter was not familiar with the menu and was unable to answer basic questions. The sommelier did not appear to have tried any of the wines we asked about, his discriptions of the wines were poor at best. The food on the other hand was great minus the steak I ordered. The steak was over charred and I had to spit multiple pieces of gristle out because it was too tough to chew.

Every time I come it is an amazing experience. We try and get something different from the menu. Never disappointed. The staff is spectacular, amazing, wonderful really professional. I always recommend this place. Will be back again soon.

Thanks for the service

Everything was Amazing! The food was excellent and service was excellent !

It was the perfect NYC atmosphere . I took my husband here for his birthday dinner . We will certainly be back.

I would highly recommend the fusilli . It was divine !


Many thanks!

The wine you recommended really got along with the food. Refreshing!

Fantastic food and service from start to finish. Fully worth the trip and will be back again

The service was disappointing.

Beautiful restaurant. Great service. VERY expensive. We had a $350 gift certificate and had to add $130 more for dinner for two!

Once in a lifetime experience! Best pasta ever have in my life. Fantastic wine pair.

Fantastic as usual!!!

Good food, small portions, good service. Could only get reservation on open table. Called and they said all booked. Went to open table and got reservation

One of my favorite reataurant in NYC.
It’s amazing always!

The lunch was great. We had an amazing birthday celebration and Eric was making us feel very special. Thank you so much for an excellent time.

Fantastic restaurant. We love it. Great for special occasion such as anniversary and birthday.
