Enjoy a $250 gift certificate to be used at Marea New York, where the authentic, bracing flavors of coastal Italy meet the style and swagger of New York to form a new kind of gusto. Marea is the recipient of one Michelin star, the 2010 James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant, three stars from The New York Times, was named Best New Restaurant by Bon Appetit, Esquire, and GQ Magazines and was also named NYC's Best Italian Restaurant by Zagat.
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.
Certificate is for food and beverage sales only and cannot be applied to tax and gratuity. (Expires March 31, 2023)
