Marea is known for its delicious house-made pasta, with dishes such as Octopus Fusilli and Grilled Octopus highly recommended. The Gamberi Rosso starter and Spaghetti with clams are also popular choices, although the fennel base of the latter is noted to be a bit underwhelming. The lobster parpardelle arrabiata is a spicy and delightful pasta option. The restaurant offers a luxurious experience, with standout cocktails like the Marea Martini and indulgent desserts such as tiramisu with mascarpone gelato. The atmosphere is spacious and clean, making it a comfortable spot to enjoy a meal. While the service can sometimes be slow and some items on the menu are slightly pricey compared to other Italian restaurants in the area, the food quality and overall experience make it worth visiting. The portions are large, and the food has its moments of perfection, like the halibut cooked to the right degree, though some dishes, like the risotto, can be too salty and lack a certain special touch. The fusilli pasta remains a good choice for those seeking a satisfying meal. Overall, Marea is a place that many find worth trying, especially for its pasta and refined atmosphere.
