"A nice bottle of wine and fancy pasta never go out of style in Beverly Hills. Pop into Marea the next time you’re on Rodeo Drive for proof. The splashy Italian seafood spot comes from NYC, where it’s been feeding Midtown power brokers and Lincoln Center ticket holders for years. A similar crowd has already settled the LA locale: suits with free-wielding corporate cards and ladies in beehives bemoaning that nobody gets dressed up on airplanes anymore. Beyond the people-watching, the food is outstanding. Start with any crudo that catches your eye, the lobster and burrata appetizer, and then go all-in on pasta. Your server will insist the fusilli with octopus and bone marrow is the best dish they serve in New York, and we’re already convinced it’s the best one in LA, too." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park, garrett snyder, brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder, sylvio martins, cathy park, cathy park, garrett snyder, sylvio martins, brant cox, cathy park, cathy park, brant cox, sylvio martins, sylvio martins, sylvio
