    Sfogliatelli
    Rosanna G.

    La Marea is a "special event" type of place. The prices out pace the content. Inside, the place is lovely. A bit loud and tight, but nice decor and welcoming feel. Everything felt fresh, new, and clean. The dishes were small and the prices were large. This felt like Manhattan dining. The gnocchi were done very well though and I finished it off. The Brussel sprout salad (Insalata di Cavoletti di Bruxelle) had one piece of walnut and a few slices of apple and no dressing whatsoever. It was very very light. I ate it as is assuming that's how the salad was intended to be. It needed more tartness and would have been better if the sprouts were roasted gently first. The best part of the meal was dessert. The sfogliatelli were surprisingly very good. Crispy and warm and the filling was done well. The most likely baked them frozen on site, but they are sourcing them from a good bakery. All in all, this is a very special occasion kind of place and if you are in the area and ok dropping $100/person for ambiance and a decent meal, then try this place out. If you are going out for ladies night, like I did, try a place where the food is cheaper and the drinks are stronger.

    Margarita Pizza & Fresh Halibut lunch special
    Karen E. C.

    Finding a casually elegant restaurant that's open for lunch on a Saturday is a rare thing. We recently had the good fortune to find a restaurant of this caliber - La Marea. that is open for lunch AND is right off of I-95 !!! Impressions: The chefs at La Marea lean into Italian/Continental fare with confidence & an abundance of creativity. Their slightly abbreviated lunch menu covers all bases & includes many different dessert options. We like that there are several different types of salads offered. We started with a Caesar salad, easily shared between 2; it was good although it could have used a bit more anchovy umami & fresh lemon to really make it pop. My dining companion's margarita pizza was delicious as was the spinach & ricotta stuffed crapes. My lunch special of pan seared halibut was perfectly cooked, delicate in texture, the fish being exceedingly fresh in taste. This dish was paired with whipped potatoes & a fresh vegetable -asparagus-charred nicely too ! End of meal espresso & cappuccino were sublime & served hot & in tandem with our desserts - a very good thing. The restaurant's inside dining areas are well appointed & comfortable. Service is both professional & genuinely friendly. Visitors to Connecticut's eastern shoreline will find great food & hospitality at La Marea. We are looking forward to returning to La Marea for dinner very soon.

    Came here while on vacation in the area since we wanted some Italian. My food was good I just think a meat sauce would've been better with like penne or something :P I could've asked for that, just didn't. Our son enjoyed himself and it was a nice place. Waitress was super nice and fast when we wanted to get out of there because our boy was expecting his routine of if you eat dinner, you get ice cream! Lol.

    Owner was so nice!!

    Expensive for what you get. Price of the seafood dishes was unrealistic. Maybe in a high end restaurant in some destination!
