🇺🇸 NYC | Marea: An Italian Seafood Experience 🍝🦞
Cleaning out my camera roll and realized I never shared this gem—Marea, an acclaimed Italian seafood restaurant in NYC that truly lives up to its reputation!😂 😁From the elegant, subdued ambiance to the expertly crafted dishes, every moment felt special. We started with the famous Fusilli—red wine-braised octopus and bone marrow in a rich tomato sauce. The pasta was perfectly al dente, and the flavors were deep, savory, and unforgettable.😊 The Crudo di Branzino (Mediterranean sea bass crudo) was fresh and bright, with a delicate citrus note that balanced the olive oil and sea salt beautifully. For the main course, the Astice—butter-poached Nova Scotia lobster with fregola, sweet corn, and chanterelle mushrooms—was decadent and satisfying. Each bite was creamy, tender, and full of seasonal flavor.😍 Finished with a classic Tiramisu—light, creamy, and not overly sweet—the perfect end to a luxurious meal.🎶 If you’re looking for refined Italian seafood in a sophisticated setting, Marea is a must-visit. A true New York classic! #MareaNYC #ItalianSeafood #FineDiningNYC #NYCRestaurants #FoodieMemories #LuxuryDining 🍷✨
