Del Mar

Spanish restaurant · Waterfront

@cntraveler

"In adding this stunner to their local restaurant empire, business partners Maria and Fabio Trabocchi expanded beyond the Italian cuisine for which they’re famous and into the realm of Spanish tapas. Del Mar, in The Wharf, is a riot of color and patterns, from the tiles and the plates to the staff’s custom uniforms—and the fish sculpture suspended from the ceiling. No expense was spared creating this gorgeous modern Mediterranean interior, and the view of the river is just as priceless. The paellas (made with Bomba rice) are breathtaking; though you’ll be tempted to fill your table with seafood from the raw bar or cooked dishes like Andalusian gambas al ajillo and charcoal-baked potatoes with aioli and brava sauce. Whatever you get, cap the meal with chocolate-hazelnut churros." - Adele Chapin
