Review of Marea

The waitstaff are extremely knowledgeable and advised that just about everything on the menu can be prepared gluten free so that it is celiac safe. The restaurant even has gluten free pasta available on request and I was assured that it is cooked in separate water from the regular pasta. After we placed our order, our waiter returned to tell us that he had spoken to the chef and that one item we had ordered (potatoes) could possibly be cross contaminated from the oil used to cook them and so the chef would be sauteing them in a separate pan using fresh oil. From this I could see that they take the possibility of cross contamination seriously and fully understand the risks to someone with Celiac disease. GF bread was offered and served separately from the rest of the bread and was delivered to the table covered in a linen napkin to prevent the possibility of CC.

Just about everything from the menu is available GF with the exception of a few desserts. This is a Michelin starred restaurant and the quality of the food is simply superb. The seafood is wonderful (I tied the oysters and a salt-crusted Branzino) and my wife and I also shared a mushroom risotto that was silky smooth with a wonderful earth taste. Service is attentive, knowledgeable, and unobtrusive as well as being friendly. I highly recommend Marea and felt completely safe eating here.
