We had one of the best meal experiences at Mare. The place is very nice, looks upscale & cozy. The fire pits are a special touch. Our waiter Rosario was excellent, he had the best recommendations and surprised us with special dessert & Limoncello’s. Ricardo was super attentive to our table too, and both of them made our visit so memorable. All the food we had was amazing, we tried it all and shared with each other. Everything we ordered was as superb. Thank you to Mare & team for such a special night.
The lobster and black truffle tagliatelle (sp) was literally the most amazing pasta dish i have had in my entire life....or that i could ever dream of. Every bite was like a dream come true. Hands down, must go to restaurant in boston. If i am ever back in boston, i will be coming here. I will tell everyone that will listen about this place. Because it is -- that darn good!
Everything seafood was just great. Great selection of vines, if you love your Italians.
Raw bar was superb, I skipped main dish entirely and ordered more instead. Oyster selection were way too good. I am not in the know with NA oysters, so market list and waiter tips helped with the decision. Ketchup cup in the oyster tray seemed kind of out of place, but it's probably me not knowing local ways.
My wife loved risotto.
Music was a bit too loud for my taste, thats probably the only complain I have.
We had our Xmass party there and it was amazing! Tucked away on a side str Mare is one of the best steak houses on the Northend! Food was incredible! Drinks, service dessert and of course the wine!!! Best white I had! Pic attached! Make sure you get it!
Went for a birthday dinner. The oyster bar was really nice. The outside dining is nice but also directly abut to the highway. Staff was standout. Very attentive.
Local friend recommend us to go here. We made a reservation ahead, sit in. Waiter’s English was fine can understand English isn’t his first language.
All of our friends were fine not the best but still ok. The only down side is we sat outside; however the street construction car suddenly stared to working and making all the dust. I don’t understand why Sunday night still have construction, it’s a bit annoying.
My favorite dishes of that day should be lobster roll. Lobster inside tastes good! Crudo trio is sashimi, different from Japanese type and the soy sauce was too salty; however the sashimi were pretty fresh. The other one we got was zuppa di mare gnocchi, it was alright.
I worked with Gaia to put together an event for a large group and I cannot say enough praise for how seamless, easy, fun, and delicious the night was. From start to finish booking, choosing menu options, decorating, and all logistics were a breeze. My group had a blast and the staff was so attentive and accommodating. The food and drinks were delicious and the atmosphere was a spectacular vibe for a nice private sit down dinner. I did a lot of research on private dining in Boston and this was by far the best deal I found for our group. Highly recommend!!!
We had wine, apps, and entrees and the best was my soup. I was expecting something small like at most restaurants, only after the fact did I notice it listed half a lobster. Your napkin will look like a murder scene after taking this thing apart but it was the standout of the meal. TONS of meat and worth every penny. Make it a night and get a cannoli from modern after. A total dream. Every time I come to Boston I’m getting this. Peroit.
Great service and the food was absolutely delicious! We had the Tagliatelle Con Aragosta and the Mare Lobster Roll. The pasta was perfectly cooked and had large chunks of lobster in it. The lobster roll was great too; perfectly seasoned and was full of lobster. It came with a side of crispy fries and a tiny glass bottle of ketchup. It was on the pricier side but each dish came with so much food that I think it's worth the price. The servers were super nice too; not too pushy but attentive.
Scallop appetizer was flavorful and tender. Swordfish entree was tasty. Ribeye was ordered medium rare, but came out medium to medium well and was tough to cut with the steak knife and to chew. Service was excellent. Complimentary bread and olives were nice touches. There is a lovely store in the back of the restaurant where customers can buy drinks and food to go. My friend and I plan on coming back. Call the restaurant and ask about the affordable parking deals if you are driving.
Mare is always a first choice when dining in the North End in the summer. The views of the city on the patio as a backdrop to your meal are impeccable. The food was all delicious and very punctual. It was a nice combination between seafood and Italian. Server could have more friendly and seemed slightly annoyed with any questions. Despite that, Highly recommend when in the Boston area.
Our server Irving was the absolute best! The zucchini blossoms he recommended did not disappoint (def a most!!) and after that we trusted everything he recommended and we were dying with how good the food was. Definitely would go again and have him as our server if possible because he just made the whole experience a lot better!!
