I had lunch one week after the opening and the service and food were both outstanding. The owner walked to our table several times to greet us and spoke Italian to us as well...very personable. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Well rounded Italian restaurant. Nice dining room and really good service. House made pasta dishes are excellent. We had the yellow tail snapper special which hit the spot.
La Marea offers pizza that looks worth trying. Priced on the higher side, but worth making the visit from time to time.

After being treated poorly at the Essex restaurant in centerbrook, we decided to go where we know will be treated like they want us there at La Marea. The food AND service are second to none. Everyone should follow this owner's way of business. Hats off to Nino and his staff.

We took my mother in law out for her birthday. It took over an hour plus to get our food. I ordered a chicken, they put two legs on a dish with asparagus very small, I got served parts and was charged for a better quality cut. It was dry!!! No seasonings! My husband ordered halibut, the fish specia...

From appetizer to dessert, all was tasty and satisfying. The mozzarella was the freshest and "runniest" I've ever tasted. I had shrimp and scallops served over polenta with fresh vegetables...it was exquisite. The flavors were subtly blended for great overall taste. The cheesecake was a blend of uni...

The pizza is angelic -- lighest crust I have ever seen (both of us ate all the crust, without a second thought) (I speculate that the pizza-dough is made from imported "double-zero" superfine flour), -- and each pizza's cheese is thinly sliced bona fide buffala mozzerella (not the generic, shredded...

This is a high class restaurant all the way. O highly recommend making reservations like their website says. It is pricey but well worth it. Their flavors are phenomenal. I had the veal. It was a true ITALIAN traditional dish, not a veal parm, but veal steak that melts like butter in your mouth. Be...

A true Italian restaurant. Italian dishes are not just listed on the menu... the food really tastes like it does in Italy! It was a wonderful surprise. Nice atmosphere. Friendly and professional service. Great bread too. I recommend it most highly.

We had the most wonderful dinner at La Marea! The food was great as well as the service. We had the eggplant appetizer which was excellent- multilayered - so fine. The calamari was excellent especially with the lemon sauce. My husband loved the short ribs and gnocchi. Our friends loved the pas...

Best restaurant on the shoreline, maybe in the state. The Italian owners are absolutely delightful and take great pride in the selection of ingredients, preparation of the food, and welcoming atmosphere. It's a true family restaurant hosted by extremely generous and talented people.

Reservations are highly recommended. All of our dinners were served perfectly. The waitstaff, support staff and management are very attentive. It was nice to have a night out with friends and not feel rushed through the meal. All six of us will definitely return!

We have been customers since they opened. Last night our family had a poor experience. The corkage fee was increased to $50 per bottle which is exorbitant. The finest NY restaurants don t charge that much. This fee increased our bill by 33%.

Nino and his wife are always at this wonderfully inspired Italian restaurant, and it shows in the quality of the food and the loyalty of clientele. My husband and I enjoy sitting at the bar, often in lively conversation with others, and Nino always stops by to give a hello and a hug. The Osso Buco i...

Food is good but portions are too small for the price, waitress was good but bussers were not of the caliber I expect at a restaurant at this price point (unprofessional and awkward). Staff was standing around chatting within earshot of our table which was also awkward.

Jewel of a restaurant in Old Saybrook. Excellent, homemade choices in a warm and upscale yet comfortable environment . What separates this restaurant is the warm, friendly, almost family environment created by the owners and supported by a friendly and professional staff.

When a real Italian Family cooks with love it s a Joy. When they do it with a judgmental edge and an attitude it s just another Pasta Joint. Nothing out of the ordinary and an Owner who could care less about his customers except them showing up again. This place has nothing on Brooklyn or Mulberry S...
