Restaurateur Frank De Pasquale launched Mare (Mah-Ray), the Italian word for sea, June 2005 in Boston's historic North End -- 100 steps away from Paul Revere's house -- with a coastal Italian menu, but that's not all. Mare boasts Boston's first all-natural and/or organic ingredient list, based almost entirely on deep water fish, cultivated shellfish and certified organic seafood from the U.S. and Italy. Also featured is hormone-free beef, free range chicken and organic eggs, organic microgreens and vegetables, hand-made pastas, sea salt, organic wines, organic beers and more.
Health-conscious locals and visitors alike are flocking to Mare and its feel-good way of eating, which also happens to be delicious. For example organic heirloom tomatoes are used in sauces and salads. Organic fruit used in tarts and gelati. As well as organic first press olive and grapeseed oils used on sautéed or fried items. Mare is also concerned with furthering our philosophy by recycling all applicable materials and reducing waste by composting organic products. Mare seeks to become more eco-friendly whenever possible.
