"The food at MARE ... pulls off the difficult trick of having something new to say."

"... head straight to MARE ... inside it’s more Miami than Little Italy; all trendy modernity from the food to the decor."

"...a daringly different new Italian seafood restaurant ... MARE shatters your preconceptions ... of what Italian dining is or isn’t ... distinctive and delicious."

"A great place to make a deal!"
