Reviews for La Marea Ristorante in Old Saybrook, CT

So this place usually has quality food but I went and ordered a margarita pizza for take out, I get home, start eating my pizza... and I'm like something is off, I look at it again and it looked like they cheddar cheese ???????? so I called them to let themknow and they wouldn't admit to using cheddar cheese. So I brought the pizza back to show them and that's when they figured outwhat happened, it was not cheddar cheese but parmesan cheese, it was an honest mistake. The owner came over and apologized andmade me a new pizza and it was awesome like they always are. If you want a beautiful wood fired oven pizza, this is the place,although everything they have is amazing. Oh and by the way the staff and everyone there are really good and professional. Read more

Very subpar, basic, bland food. Went based on reviews and highly disappointed. We had ordered the charcuterie board for the app.... And linguine with clams, scallop pasta “special”. It was so bland I tried to season myself with the table evoo and s&p. Ihave never ordered a scallop dish, where they cooked and actually cut the scallops into several pieces to appear you weregetting more! Will not return. Waste of a night out. Read more

What an amazing meal. Super impressed with the authenticity of this Italian spot. The restaurant was very spacious with a tent... over the outdoor seating area. The staff was super attentive and gracious. I highly recommend La Maria for a small romanticmeal or large gathering. Read more

Pasta with Eggplant and Pork Chop with hot cherry peppers were delish. Definitely going back

We stopped here by chance on the way back to New York! We were very happy with our meals and service! Everything was great! And... the homemade pasta was delicious! Read more

Called and spoke to hostess who said they had availability for 3 at the bar. Arrived and greeted by a woman who said there was... nothing available except outside setting. She was extremely rude and said she highly doubted I spoke to anyone at therestaurant as they have no room for us. Very argumentative and I was totally caught off guard. The unwelcoming was something Ihave never experienced and I will not attempt to return. I can’t believe she wanted to argue about me calling the restaurantand actually speaking to someone. Bizarre!

There are no words to describe the experience of La Marea. We found you by chance and keep coming back. The atmosphere, the... staff and the food are truly amazing. We love that you know us and say hello by name, and it’s a great feeling when you canwaive hello to Brad behind the bar and he already knows what your drinking and has it ready for you. As much ad we don’t wantto share our favorite spot to dine because we want it to ourselves we can’t help but to tell everyone we know and bring themalong. Thank you Nino, Juliana, Brad and the rest of your team for always making our visits special. Read more

Very delicious place! Food was amazing and the plate had the right amount, not too much and not too little! The place itself is... a bit fancy so don't go in seats and shorts. Read more
