"Perhaps one day the people of Beverly Hills will get tired of going to fancy Italian restaurants, but until then, full steam ahead. Marea’s gigantic, multi-room space on Camden fills nightly with corporate card-wielding executives and ladies in beehives bemoaning bike lanes. Beyond the people-watching, the seafood-focused menu is consistently good and occasionally great. Start with the lobster and burrata appetizer, then go all-in on pasta, including silky pappardelle and an octopus and bone marrow fusilli that your server will insist is the best dish from the New York location. It’s the best one in LA, too." - sylvio martins, arden shore, brant cox, jess basser sanders
"The original location of Marea in midtown Manhattan has long been a favorite over at Infatuation NYC, and now, this coastal Italian restaurant has a new outpost in Beverly Hills that’s just as fancy as the original, with a gold-lit bar and glass chandeliers. Expect a menu heavy on caviar, oysters, and pastas with lobster and king crab. We recently visited Marea Beverly Hills and added it to the Hit List." - cathy park
"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
