Ritzy and elegant, Marea couldn’t ask for a better home than Central Park South. This airy dining room, dressed to the nines with Indonesian rosewood, is abuzz with power crowds. It's hard to beat the scene, but the food has its own appeal.
Top quality seafood is the focus of this ambitious, Italian-leaning carte. Nothing commences a meal here like the crudo. Other antipasti, like Nova Scotia lobster with burrata, offer comfort and flavor. Consider sharing a house-made pasta (maybe fusilla with red-wine braised octopus). before moving on to seared sea scallops with caraflex cabbage or wild striped bass with prosciutto. Desserts are strong and typically an homage to the team's creative spirit, as in the tiramisu, which arrives alongside mascarpone gelato.
