About this business
Tello - what a find! Lit with candles and chandeliers, this cozy place has such a wonderful old-world feel that you may think you've walked onto the set of a Martin Scorsese film. A helpful staff serves up hefty portions (light on price) of well prepared Italian fare. Pasta is cooked al dente every time and the seafood is plentiful and fresh

Delicious oysters & lobster! – We went here on a recommendation from a friend and I'm glad we did. Not only was the seafood fresh and tasty(we had oysters & lobster) but the staff was very friendly. This was a very nice surprise that will definitely be on our "come back again" list.
Well, we liked the cheescake ... – My companion and I ate here this evening and we do regret paying for the meal! The fried oysters were terrible, the octopus salad was too tough, the mahi mahi and salmon were cooked so as not to be able to be recognized. Even salt and fresh lemon could not bring this meal back to life. The staff, while not attentive at first, was very pleasant and cheerful after the appetizers. The cheescake, tartuffo and lattes were very good, though .. maybe this restaurant should become a dessert place, ... read more
From the Ocean to your Plate – I was pessimistic about Mare, but a friend chose it and she's usually right on, so I ventured over. Sat outside (great place to people watch) and started with some clams which were out of this world. At that time I watched as a black pick up truck pulled up, opened it back and dumped out a tuna the size of a small child. Packed in ice, the tuna came off the truck and was seared and on my plate within 15 minutes. My server pushed the sesame/soy/ginger glaze, but was more than accomodating to my ... read more
Mare – A nice, moderately priced, local seafood joint in Chelsea. The food is solid and the rawbar, especially the oysters, is excellent. The service is very friendly and accomodating. One of our diners didn't like her fish and both the waitress and the manager insisted on replacing it. Sitting on the sidewalk on a nice day/evening you can see all of thriving Chelsea walk by you, not a bad way to spend a meal.
Superb Seafood – I had a fabulous lunch one summer afternoon at Mare, at a table in the sun. The service was good, the ambience was better and the food was fantastic. I've since been to Mare 3 times, and have enjoyed each visit.
A Gem! – I celebrated a friend's birthday here last night and had a great time. Greg, our server, was so helpful, especially since we had a large party. Food was fantastic, inexpensive and portions are huge. Great for parties, but romantic, too. What a gem this place is!
Neighborhood Favorite – We're kicking ourselves for not going here sooner. This is what I think of when I think of a New York Italian restaurtant. Lovely warm ambiance, great food. Both times I've had the "Chicken Tello" which is chicken in a sauce with olives, sausage and mushrooms. Yum. Portions are big, prices aren't. Loved the watercress salad with bleu cheese and toasted walnuts. Carpaccio and mozarella salad as well. Wine list doesn't have any years on it, which bugs wine lovers, and we struck out with thewaiter-recomm... read more
Great Seafood in NYC! – Whenever I feel like having some fresh oysters or lobster I come to the Mare. In my mind this is the only place specialized in fresh seafood in the city. If you are looking for other food than the fresh seafood you may want to try a different place. Last time I had the Dungeness crab with half dozen of West Coat oysters and a grilled Mediterranean fish which can't remember the name of it but I sure remember the great taste. I would just go there for the dozen oysters and couple of bottles of beer befo... read more
Good Seafood Joint – I stumbled upon this place on my way to rehearsal. I sat at the raw bar and had a dozen little neck clams and a beer. The atmosphere is cool, the staff was very friendly and the clams were good. Nice and cold! The only caveat is the price. My bill came out to $25 for the snack. But I enjoyed it so I plan to go back and have a meal there. Some of the entress on the menu looked very enticing.
