This is my 4th time to Mare and it never disappoints. I have been there for my anniversary, night out with my wife, and business and it is a perfect location for any occasion. There are so many restaurants in the NEnd and it can be hard to standout but Mare is unique from all the other N.End Italian restaurants. Seafood centric but not just, it has something for everyone. It isn't your checkered cloth, red sauce, restaurant so if that's what you want you will find a couple dozen other spots that would fit the bill down the street. But if you are looking for some of the best seafood fused with Italian cuisine, great drinks, a broad wine list across multiple price points, cool vibes, and intimate dining experience with terrific staff then this is your place. I highly recommend

Aqua Pazza was my boyfriend’s favorite chicken Parmesan in the North End so far (we have been to many Italian restaurants in the North End). I got a lovely fish plate which was perfectly balanced with some veggies and grapefruit. The arancini appetizer was delectable with a twist on having white sauce and a peppercorn crunch. And to top it off they had an amazing key lime pie! Great portions for everything, I had some leftovers. The space had 13 tables, hard surfaces, energetic/loud and on a corner, so had many windows. We are excited to go back on a nice date night/special occasion in the future.
