Marea (Italian)

Chef Michael White's italian seafood restaurant located at central park south. The ambiance is very classic old fashion, the day we went was happened to be Father's day, saw families brought their grandparents out for dining...

They serve $89- 4 courses prix fixe for dinner, including: Crudo (raw fish dish), Ostriche (oyster), or Antipasto / Pasta / Pesce (fish) or Carne (meat) / Dolce (dessert). We wasn't that hungry, so ordered the following a la cart to share

Assaggio di tre (tasting of three crudo)
MERLANGO pacific whiting, blood orange, arugula
ASTICE nova scotia lobster, sun dried tomatoes, olives, plum
POLIPO octopus, chili oil, lemon, parsley

Antipasto
MOLECHE semolina-dusted softshell crab, marinated cucumber, mandarin yogurt, almonds

Pasta
SPAGHETTI crab, santa barbara sea urchin, basil (Chef Michael White aka The king of PASTA, this outstanding dish is the most amazing pasta i ever had....) we did order other pasta.. but nothing can compare with this... so... not going to mentioned... > <

Pesce
SEPPIA grilled mediterranean cuttlefish, braised escarole, taggia olives, livornese sauce, wild oregano

I got too full at the end... but still can't resist to have my final dessert...


PANNA COTTA fromage blanc panna cotta, hibiscus poached rhubarb raspberry sorbet

GIANDUJA cocoa nib crema, hazelnut chocolate, fior di latte gelato

overall it was a satisfying dining experience... i am still dreaming about their UNI SPAGHETTI....
