Restaurateur Frank De Pasquale launched Mare (Mah-Ray), the Italian word for ocean, June 2005 in Boston's historic North End -- 100 steps away from Paul Revere's house -- with a coastal Italian menu, but that's not all. Mare boasts Boston's first 98% natural ingredient list, based almost entirely on deep water fish, cultivated shellfish and certified organic seafood from the U.S. and Italy. Also featured is hormone-free beef, free range chicken and organic eggs, organic microgreens and vegetables, whole grain pastas, sea salt, organic wines and more.
Health-conscious locals and visitors alike are flocking to Mare and its feel-good way of eating, which also happens to be delicious. Whole grain breads baked in-house daily. Butter and cheese made from unpasteurized milk. Organic heirloom tomatoes used in sauces and salads. Organic fruit used in tarts and gelati. Organic first press olive and flaxseed oils used on sautéed or fried items.
