One of the best meals I have ever had! All the pastas were absolutely amazing. Highly recommend the lump crab pasta. Great portions and reasonable prices for a Michelin starred restaurant. Will definitely be back again.

I came here last night with 3 other friends for a casual Monday night dinner. Marea specializes in fine dining Italian seafood. I did not come in with high expectations, but it definitely exceeded them. Let's talk about service and ambience. The interior decor leans towards more sophisticated and what you'd expect from a Michelin Star fine-dining establishment. I must say my party and I were definitely underdressed (it's a heatwave right now), but we were treated no differently than any other parties in the restaurant, which I very well appreciated. Service was excellent. Our server and sommelier were both very knowledgable.Drinks: We got assorted cocktail drinks. The drinks were decent, but prices were definitely on the steeper side. We also got a bottle of orange wine, Prima Terra, which was good. Our sommelier set our drink in a decanter which is something I wish more restaurants did. Food: Dozen oysters: beausoleil/sweet petite/kusshiAcciughe: Crostini /w spanish anchovy and black truffleScampi Crudi: Langoustine Astice: Nova scotia lobster w/ burrata Polipo: Grilled OctopusFusilli: red wine braised octopus, bone marrowSpaghetti: manila clams and calamariBranzino: served along 4 dipping sauces, and also with confit potatoes and mushroom. TiramisuOur food came out in a timely fashion. The oysters were good, they were served with a cucumber mignonette. The crostini was a bit too salty for my likings, but I suppose that is the nature flavor profile of anchovies. Langoustine and grilled octopus were both good refreshing starters. The Lobster Burrata is a must get if you are consolidating your order. Their Fusilli is their signature dish. Highly recommend ordering this if you want the embodiment of fine Italian seafood cuisine. The flavors are rich and the pasta was cooked al dente. The clam and calamari spaghetti was also a good second pasta dish. No real complaints there.We ordered branzino which came in two filets, which was perfect as we shared it with the 4 of us. It was accompanied with 4 different dipping sauces; salmoriglio, livornese, limone, salsa verde.My favorite dipping sauce was the salmoriglio which comprised of olive oil and capers. Accompanied with the branzino was confit potatoes and mushrooms. Potatoes were well cooked. The mushrooms had good umami and were cooked well too. It wasn't in the description, but the taste resemble similar to maitake mushrooms, which is stirred fried and had a bit of crunch.Lastly we had the Tiramisu, which I thought was good, not the best tiramisu I ever had, but still not bad. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a nice fine dining Italian styled seafood. This would be the type of restaurant I'd either go once to try it out or only come for special occasions. The quality of food was great, but I was not completely blown away. However the service is definitely outstanding.

Something new that I wanted to do for my 40th year was to finally eat at a michelin star restaurant. This one was highly recommended while in New York so I decided to make a reservation and go. This is located right across Central Park on billionaire's row and it is a very lovely restaurant. I sat outdoors which the only downside are the bountiful of weed or cigarette smokers and the smell coming on to the porch but otherwise it's a nice view to look At Central Park and Columbus circle. I thought it was really cool that you can have the option to do 2 half pastas for about $50 to try a few of their options. I got the fusili with the bone marrow sauce as well as the polenta stuffed ravioli. The fusili with bone marrow based Ragu was to die for and the flavor was amazing. I highly recommend this dish. The polenta stuffed ravioli was a new experience but I would probably say not my favorite pasta . As I was also there celebrating my birthday they lovely gave me a scoop of gelato which was a perfect way to end the meal. I definitely recommend if you want a nice night out this is a great place to come

Had dinner here last week for the first time; decor feels like you're on a cruise ship-not exactly super impressive to me. We started off with two pasta dishes-casarecce and pansotti. Neither of them was particularly mind-blowing although I liked the pansotti better than I did the casarecce. For our mains, we ordered the orata and the bistecca (my dining partner hates fish-don't get me started). Bistecca was wonderful but the orata? Super fishy-had to spoon copious amounts of salsa verde to mask the fishy taste. Really displeased. I think we ended with some gelato but the meal was essentially over for me. Super overpriced to be serving that kind of food. Will likely not return.

I went to Marea many times, today I returned for the first time after Covid. it is no longer an Italian restaurant, moreover the food is not comparable with the cost of the dishes. Pasta that was not understood with vosa was seasoning, cooking? They looked like UDONs. two glasses of wine for $ 26 each, undrinkable, discount wine. the only positive thing is the service.

The Astice (nova scotia lobster, burrata, basil, eggplant al funghetto) is A MUST! Definitely the highlight of the meal, it was perfectly fresh and flavorful. We also did an order of each of the crudos -- they were pretty good but nothing earth shattering.A few of us got the fusilli (pasta with red wine braised octopus, bone marrow) for our mains. The pasta was a great consistency, chewy but with just enough springiness. The sauce was rich and yummy! And who doesn't love some octopus? Overall, a great and filling dish.We sat outside which I think took away from the ambiance a bit. Our servers were really attentive and helpful with recommendations!

I have been to lots of Italian restaurants in NY but this place is not to be missed. Fantastic location at Central Park South and a stunningly beautiful place. Extremely professional staff serve with elegance and a professional demeanor. But it's the food that is the real star. Authentic Italian dishes that will please even the most discerning palate. I send everyone to this place and it universally pleases and I'd then referred to as their new favorite!

Everything was great except for the salad- would have been fine if it was 10-15 bucks but for $32, I expect to be wowed and it was pretty lame. Love the presentation of food here - so pretty.

We've walked by this restaurant so many times, and we finally dined there on the recommendation of friends (and the Michelin guide). The menu is Italian but heavy on seafood. We enjoyed sea urchin crostini, grilled octopus, squid ink lobster ravioli, jumbo lump crab with casarecce pasta and uni puree, and ricotta donuts for dessert. Every dish was delicious! The wine list and service were excellent as well. The restaurant was packed - it always is and for good reason!

My husband and I were joined by another couple for dinner and we had a fantastic meal here last night. Our waiters name was Dave and he was so charismatic and attentive to our needs as one of our party had a food allergy. He checked in several times throughout our meal to let us know which dishes they should avoid. Throughout the night we called attention to how much we loved and appreciated his service and his helpful nature. We ordered a couple bottles of Greco Di Tufo as it’s become a favorite Italian wine of ours and paired perfectly with the seafood dishes for the night. An amus-bouche was sent to the table which seemed to be a fried pasta noodle with whipped ricotta and a fantastic sauce. We then started with 12 assorted oysters and a combination of 3 crudi dishes: Scampi (Langoustine), Tonno (Yellowfin Tuna) & Passera (Fluke). All were delicious, our favorite raw dish was between the Tonno and the Passera. Our next course we chose Astice (Lobster with burrata), Polipo (Smoked Octopus) & Ricci (Sea Urchin on crostini). Again, all were amazing. Our favorite this course was between the Astice & Polipo because all four of us nearly inhaled those dishes from the moment the plates touched the table. Our entree course we ordered the Risotto Al Funghi (Mushroom risotto), Spigola (Striped bass) & Agnello (Lamb). Once again not one of our party was disappointed with our entrees. In fact we spoke about having a hard time picking our favorite entree, and we discussed other dishes we wanted to try the next time we dine at Marea (one being the Mezzaluna (Squid ink lobster ravioli). For desert we chose to share a cheese plate with our coffee and celebrated a birthday with a scoop of Apricot sorbet. In the end we all very much enjoyed our night and want to thank Dave for being such a wonderful waiter to our party. We will be back again soon!

My mother’s birthday dinner last Thursday night at 1* Marea in NYC was wonderful. Highly recommended. The house specialty Fusili with braised octopus and bone marrow is truly divine; I almost ordered it a second time. 😉

First, the quality of the food, drinks and service are excellent. The reason for two stars depicts the quantity of food for the price as pathetic and beyond ridiculous. Prices for drinks are also off the moon.

We came on a Friday night and were seated fairly quickly after letting the host k is we arrived.We got the lobster burrata to start, gluten free pasta with the octopus and bone marrow, and bass. The gluten free pasta is TO DIE for. My girlfriend is gluten free and says it's the best gluten free pasta she's ever had. I couldn't even tell it was GF, since it was made fresh from scratch.The pasta did take some time to come out, but our waiter was nice and comp'd us with an appetizer and another round of drinks.Tiramisu was a bit heavy on the crème.I can't wait to be back to try out all the other pastas on the menu.

We were just going to have a few drinks after having enjoyed The Benny Green Trio jazz & light dinner in the Dizzy Club at the Lincoln Center but we ended up having a second dinner & more than few drinks ! We did not have a reservation but the host had us sit in the bar area promptly & had such a wonderful time! The bartender, ambiance, food, cocktails, wines, & oh that fresh/delicious oysters & grilled octopus ( polio) were just perfect to enhance the fun evening out with my gorgeous girlfriend! Reservation highly recommended. Check it out !
