Mary's Beach — Restaurant in Massa Lubrense

HANDS DOWN, we enjoyed this restaurant! We have had a few meals in town, spent time on the beach and ate at several restaurants. Such a beautiful place! Our last night we chose Mary's!! Mary's is family owned and run. Such a pleasure to meet and interact with them! We showed up before they were open and the son of the owner let us know their hours and said he looked forward to seeing us in a bit. When we arrived at the correct time, we were quickly greeted with a genuine smile and "so glad you came back to join us tonight." He remembered us and we were treated like we were appreciated, like family. They brought us delicious bread in a basket, twice, and breadsticks in this cool sculpture that mimicked the mountain range down the beach. They explained what it was and the focaccia bread that came with the sculpture was instantly gone between the four of us. We ordered drinks, Peroni beer and vodka with lime, along with several bottles of still water. We had questions on the menu and everything was answered completely. It was so nice to have staff that treat you like you are not a nuisance. Everyone that works at this restaurant is very kind, they have amazing energy, they love what they do, and they're proud of the beautiful and delicious food that they make! We had homemade spaghetti with clams and cherry tomatoes, homemade pasta with seafood, shrimps and squids and gnocchi with tomato sauce. DElish!! For desert we had homemade lava cake with vanilla ice cream and tiramisu. Homemade by Mary!! She explained her extensive menu of desserts- yummy! Such a treat to have a fresh, homemade, delicious meal in a relaxed, beautiful, attentive, friendly atmosphere with family. The next morning, we came down and had coffee. What a beautiful way to start or end your day! THIS is your place! You will not be disappointed! Thank you...

Enjoy...

We met the mum who runs the place together with her triplets. There was a jovial air all around, the interior brings you to a happy place by the sea, which was fitting since it was literally on a beautiful beach.

All the seafood dishes we had for starters were delicious and fresh, and plated interestingly. They were famous for the Spaghetti alla Nerano, this zucchini based sauce was delicious. We spoke to the chef (one of the triplets) about the sea urchin pasta. He brought so much passion and excitement into the discussion that we absolutely had to try it. And it lived up to expectations! Then it was time for dessert, I had the pavlova: exquisite.

Special mention to the sauces that they concocted that add a twist to the dishes, particularly to the cloud of lemon juice served with the sea urchin pasta. Most innovative way to add lemon juice I’ve seen to date!
