Touted as one of the best seafood places in NYC. Dishes are uneven, though there are some interesting options to try. Not spectacular - severely overpriced and really not worth it.

Bone marrow is stunning. Sea urchin on toast covered by semitransparent bacon: never tasted anything like this. Bits LA Bernardin

Perfect place to enjoy quality seafood, especially for families with kids :)

A great place for date night. The lobster and burrata are mouthwateringly good. Afterwards, take a romatic stroll in central park!

Fusilli pasta w octopus and bone marrow is perfect. Perfect. All the pastas, really, are excellent.

We loved the seafood cooking of Michael White. The smoked mackerel was excellent.

Pasta especially with crab and clam. All are great. Sumptuous with delicious sauce.

Just named Best New Restaurant at the James Beard Awards so reservations may be tight. But, it's worth the fuss to order fusilli with red wine braised octopus and bone marrow and eat at the bar.

Although a little bit stiff nothing can go wrong here. Excellent food and service out of this world.

Upscale Italian, Seafood. Try the Fusilli with Red Wine Braised Octopus and Bone Marrow.

Lobster burrata, insalate di marea, fusilli, garganelli with black truffle ❤️ very fresh

Everything! Soft shell crab, lobster burata is a must!!! Pasta is fantastic

Had the prix fix menu and everything was delicious. Highlight - Go for the octopus as a starter! Service was not excellent though.
Benny WongJune 28, 2015
Bone marrow fusilli is 💣 as is the soft shell crab. Seared scallops are also 👌
Abby FinkelFebruary 3, 2016
Such great food in a wonderful atmosphere. $99 tasting menu is a good deal.

Great food, the fusili pasta with octopus is one the best ever. Pricey but worth it

Exquisitely delicious. The artichoke appetizer and the asparagus side are quiet superstars.
Brett FrommeNovember 11, 2015
Tough to get a table even with reservations. Fabulous food. Great people watching. Expensive!!!

The decor reminds me of the interior of a Rolls Royce and it's appropriate because Marea is the Rolls Royce of seafood.

Great fusilli and oysters! Great experience

Tuna Crudo. Excellent flavors and presentation. Highly recommended.

Fresh angel hair with Manila clam sauce was okay but not the perfect choice
Nicholas M.July 12, 2017
One of the best. Get anything with Uni on it. Wine list exceptional.
Erin LaneJune 5, 2012
Everything here is amazing. Standouts: burrata w/ lobster, seafood risotto, fusilli w/ octopus, and the steak. Omg the steak.

Everything is amazing! Go for the POLIPO!

Get the octopus and bone marrow fusilli, I promise you won't regret it!
James H.December 12, 2015
Halibut was terrific and the mushrooms were the best ever
GourmetLiveOctober 17, 2010
When Chef Michael White turns his hand to seafood, the results are pretty much what you would expect: wholly satisfying, free of fussiness, but with just enough flourishes to make it special.
BravoJanuary 27, 2010
I could live on the uni and lardo ricci, perfect langostines or bone marrow and octopus fusilli. The choice and quality are staggeringly good. -Gail Simmons, Top Chef

You can get anything here and it will make your eyes roll and your toes curl. Sexy, orgasmic food. Wow.

Will cost you a months' rent or mortgage payment but worth every penny. Michael White is a master with pasta.
James H.December 31, 2014

You should Sea Urchin. This is the best. Don't forget'
Jillian ThawMarch 1, 2014
Fusilli and strozzapretti are must-haves. Try the braised lobster for antipasti as well.
Lisa GNovember 18, 2010
you should share portions since you will want to taste everything- and don't forget to order Rigatoni with octopus and marrow- it's very rich but AMAZING
Bullfrog & BaumJanuary 24, 2011
