Marea - New York

So tasty Our reviews had over 36 million views this year. wow UPDATE 8-18-2021: Once again perfection. Perfect in every way. Original review: One of the top restaurants in NYC. We go a few times a year and it never disappoints. We ask for a table in the rear which tend to be quieter. Be sure to get the Astice which is a lobster appetizer with burrata. It is divine. Even if you have never had octopus, I strongly recommend the appetizer or the pasta with octopus. This is one of their specialties and it is better than any other place in the world. The absolute best and tastes great even if you have never tried it before. We both had pasta for our main courses. All pasta is fresh made in house daily and are are beyond awesome. Two thumbs. up. For dessert I strongly recommend the ice cream square with chocolate dusting. Crazy good. Also check out the chocolate bar dessert (see photo I forget what it is called but it is great. This is certainly one of the top 5 places to eat in NY and probably in the top 3. You cannot go wrong here. Very hard to get a table so be sure to reserve well in advance. Once you have eaten here be sure to ask the General Manager to give you the secret (shhhhhhh!!!! link to get priority reservations. It is the key to getting a good table and is only available to past customers that the Manager likes. Worth it!!!!! Check out all of our reviews.

Extremely good pasta the octopus fusilli is something else.

Our favorite in Manhattan. Best in class in cuisine and service. Always consistent

It has become another place for tourists. I dont think I am going back.

Had the most beautiful dinner here with friends. They had run out of the main course I ordered so I ended up receiving complimentary mushroom risotto which the waiter merely overheard me debating getting it and then it just appeared. Also the playlist was on point for 80s classics by the end the night. Was convinced my dad was controlling it behind the bar or something
