It was a quick dinner but I really loved there mushroom 🍝 pasta and the grilled cod
Kiwi WangOctober 4, 2016
Worth all the hype. That bone marrow octopus pasta- oh sweet Jesus. Don't try to go against the crowd- just get it. 👌🏼👌🏼
James H.December 14, 2014
The polpo was grilled to perfection. One of the best ever. Ambiance in restaurant is very classy.
Wesley BlissFebruary 3, 2016
It's like Michael White went to Branzino heaven, captured their god, and then poached him in unicorn butter. Also that pork shoulder, mmm.
Pramod PaiMay 8, 2015
They offers seafood selections devoted to crudo, a wide variety of raw oysters, clams and antipasti. http://freshnyc.com/italian/new-york-city-italian-seafood-paradise-marea-nyc

Super yum scallops and pasta, nice atmosphere for dates and friendly staff
Megan JohnsonAugust 6, 2014
Wonderful fancy lunch spot. We skipped on the pasta and had oysters, starters, scallops/halibut, and dessert, but all were superb.
harryhApril 28, 2014
Just like everyone else I've gotta recommend the fusilli with bone marrow and octopus as well as the lobster with burrata.
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantSeptember 8, 2020
Love this restaurant. Great food, wonderful service and beautiful space.
James H.December 12, 2015

James H.December 31, 2014
Homemade pasta with crab and sea urchins. Very special dish. Excellent flavors.

#4 - IWalked NYC's Top 10 Italian Restaurants. Specializes in Italian coastal cuisine (variety of seafood dishes). Bright/airy ambience is perfect dining experience after walk in Central Park.<LINK> Read more

For the fusili, fresh octopus is first braised in red wine and tomato sauce. The pasta is then tossed in the sauce, and the chunks of bone marrow are added to the mix. Read more
Andres ZirlingerMay 14, 2017
Best restaurant in terms of price/quality of the Michelin rated. Desserts are incredible. Food is always great! A super must
Zeynep TümerdemAugust 28, 2015
Marea is our favorite high-end restaurant in NYC. You should definitely try fusulli with bone marrow & octopus.
Mark MunroMay 19, 2017
Fusilli and crudo were amazing. The best lunch I've had in the city.
Margaret MinNovember 23, 2012
it was open on Thanksgiving Day! $99 per person for an amazing four course (appetizer, pasta/risotto, turkey/steak/fish and desserts) :)
Jean PApril 17, 2015
Chef Michael White's Japanese-influenced superb Italian cuisine. Very flavorful. A little salty to my liking.
Geoff KimJanuary 15, 2012
Fine 1.3: This is an Italian restaurant on Central Park South. Their crudo is excellent and when I was there I had their amazing sea urchin pasta dish as well. Read more
Jane DongMay 21, 2017
Fusilli with octopus + marrow is one of my favorite dishes in NYC. Lunch is also the best deal here
Vanity FairMay 6, 2013
Comedian Eddie Izzard talked transvestitism, dieting, and being fearless over appetizers of Pacific snapper and tuna tartare at this mecca for Italian seafood on Central Park South.
Boyoun CDecember 28, 2018
Awesome food and ambient. Went for weekend lunch prix-fixe menu and it was worth the price.
Daniel BouludJuly 30, 2014
When it’s on the menu do not miss the Sea Urchin Crostini with Lardo and Sea Salt.
James H.December 12, 2015
Homemade pasta with lump crab and sea urchin was great sauce but pasta was not up to the sauce
Amy LanNovember 18, 2010
Gt the tasting menu if you're hungry bits such a great deal. The pasta wig bone marrow is awesome. The squid ink pasta is nice too. Order a bottle of wine. It's almost always a better value.
Crystal ChiJune 17, 2017
Grilled octopus strongly recommended. Their signature bone marrow pasta will definitely live up to the expectation!
Serious EatsApril 20, 2013
Excellent, elegant Italian seafood and pasta in a casual setting near Central Park.
James H.March 13, 2016
The whole Bronzino was perfect for two. Served with two sides. We each started with wonderful homemade pasta.
Dan MoneyJune 19, 2019
All the classics (lobster burrata, bone marrow octopus fusilli, and bomboloni) are exceptional
Rachel Wang PangOctober 8, 2015
Good restaurant near the park. Loved the sea urchin, the portion is a bit big, more than expected. But good food
James H.December 31, 2014
Wonderful flavors of ice creams and sorbets. Unusual and delicious.
Benjamin PalmerJune 9, 2014
Food is obviously amazing. The best casual corner seat is table 50 up by the bar (this tip is more for me than for you)
Mischa LumiereSeptember 28, 2014
The four course dinner prix fixe is an amazing deal. Get the strozzapreti, you won't regret it!
Garrison PriceJune 29, 2016
Sit at the bar for lunch without a reservation. Order a Campari spritz and get the 3 course prix fixe menu.
Ricky SherrillMay 24, 2016
A great option of a business lunch or dinner ion the CPS area. Top notch food and service.
Anastasia BezverkhaAugust 22, 2014
2 Michelin star restaurant, need I say more? My favorite restaurant in New York. Delicious, without being overly pretentious.
James H.December 31, 2014
Tuna Crudo. Excellent flavors and presentation. Highly recommended.
Michelin Travel & LifestyleDecember 2, 2013
Highlights are the cuttlefish with bottarga, lobster and burrata, and the John Dory. Don't skip the olive bread either. – Green Guide Editor
The Corcoran GroupJuly 15, 2010
Stunning setting for this great seafood themed restaurant right on Central Park South. Our picks? The octopus fusilli, dover sole or veal ravioli are all delicious
Vicky UJanuary 3, 2014
Fusilli pasta w octopus and bone marrow is perfect. Perfect. All the pastas, really, are excellent.
Kathryn DMay 19, 2017
Exquisitely delicious. The artichoke appetizer and the asparagus side are quiet superstars.
Travel + LeisureJuly 30, 2012
This glamorous place is Michael White’s elegant tribute to the fish and seafood of Italy. Save room for some of that justly fetishized pasta.
Kate FurmanFebruary 6, 2017
The lunch set menu is a good value. Definitely get the fusilli with octupus and bone marrow.
James H.December 14, 2014
We loved the seafood cooking of Michael White. The smoked mackerel was excellent.
carla elaineDecember 28, 2012
Amazing food & service. Their sommelier was knowledgable but also friendly and not snobby. Save this place for a special date or event.
JessicaMarch 4, 2015
Best scallops ever! Go for their weekend brunch/business lunch for $47
micchele tottiOctober 31, 2014
Although a little bit stiff nothing can go wrong here. Excellent food and service out of this world.
