Marea Restaurant is one of our 2010 Top 10 New Restaurants in the US.
 It would seem that Michael White can do no wrong. His past restaurants have been successes. Then in 2009 he moved into the pricey Central Park South space that legendary San Domenico fled because of a huge rent increase. White tossed his line in the water anyway and from the taste of the seafood-oriented offerings at Marea, caught the big one. A meal here might best be enjoyed with someone who has a healthy expense account, but it’s worth it; at times Marea’s menu is transcendent. Throw back the caviar and hard-to-find raw fish on the crudo section of the menu and dive into the Italian-accented seafood dishes from the pasta and secondi selections: the octopus-and-bone-marrow-laced fusilli and veal sweetbreads-stuffed ravioli are meals in themselves. Main course options include grilled swordfish with squash, puntarelles, red navel orange and pistachios, and a surprisingly good seaweed-marinated halibut. The wine list is extensive and, despite the high price of a meal here, offers some affordable options.
