Great service and the food was absolutely delicious! We had the Tagliatelle Con Aragosta and the Mare Lobster Roll. The pasta was perfectly cooked and had large chunks of lobster in it. The lobster roll was great too; perfectly seasoned and was full of lobster. It came with a side of crispy fries and a tiny glass bottle of ketchup. It was on the pricier side but each dish came with so much food that I think it’s worth the price. The servers were super nice too; not too pushy but attentive.

Mare oyster bar is down an alley, almost like a hidden gem that’s off the beaten path.

Scallop appetizer was flavorful and tender. Swordfish entree was tasty. Ribeye was ordered medium rare, but came out medium to medium well and was tough to cut with the steak knife and to chew. Service was excellent. Complimentary bread and olives were nice touches. There is a lovely store in the back of the restaurant where customers can buy drinks and food to go. My friend and I plan on coming back. Call the restaurant and ask about the affordable parking deals if you are driving.

Very cute place to eat but I have to give an honest review! Ambiance was a 10/10 I was pretty disappointed in the food though.

Mare is always a first choice when dining in the North End in the summer. The views of the city on the patio as a backdrop to your meal are impeccable. The food was all delicious and very punctual. It was a nice combination between seafood and Italian. Server could have more friendly and seemed slightly annoyed with any questions. Despite that, Highly recommend when in the Boston area.

OpenTable only showed reservations for 5:45 and 8:15 for the prime hour options, so we picked 8:15. Walking by at 7:45, we noticed quite a few open tables, so I asked the hostess if there were open tables to seat us or we can walk around more and wait. She said yes, then took us in the bar and offered a table by the stairs or by the patio. We said patio please. She then picked a table in the bar, but by the patio so we got no bar A/C, no rooftop draft, but heat from the fireside tables. I asked her if we can sit at one of the 7 2-tops I saw open on the patio. She smiled and said no.

Local friend recommend us to go here. We made a reservation ahead, sit in. Waiter’s English was fine can understand English isn’t his first language.

4 of us had two drinks each, shared one dozen oysters, had the sole special, tuna, and swordfish. The sole was very bland but the other two dishes were great and so was the appetizer. Our waiter unfortunately had an attitude and not very pleasant. There was a large dog at the table next to us who licked my elbow and put his head on our table a couple of time. That was weird. Total bill was $370 before tip. Bring your wallet.

Our server Irving was the absolute best! The zucchini blossoms he recommended did not disappoint (def a most!!) and after that we trusted everything he recommended and we were dying with how good the food was. Definitely would go again and have him as our server if possible because he just made the whole experience a lot better!!
