"Bel Mare means 'beautiful ocean' in Italian. We specialize in coastal Italian food served with an emphasis on traditional fine dining. Not only does our food come from that beautiful ocean, but our dining room overlooks it. The gorgeous yachts docked in the foreground of the A&B Marina make for stunning views and sunsets over that beautiful ocean!"

    Our server Nikola was excellent! The food was outstanding down to every detail. I would definitely recommend Bel Mare for a delicious dinner, spirits and dessert. Everything we had was fresh, tasteful and presentation was very enjoyable.

    Beautiful views overlooking the marina since we opted to sit outdoors and enjoy the beautiful fall weather in the Keys. Our server made some great suggestions regarding apps that did not disappoint. The heirloom tomato and goat cheese starter was fantastic as well as the cream of mushroom soup with truffles. For dinner we opted to try the ravioli special, which was butternut squash and the pork osso buco. The raviolis were a nice blend of fall flavors and pork osso buco never disappoints and once again it was fantastic. All of this paired with a great Brunello made for a great date night.

    We thoroughly enjoyed everything about our recent dinner at Bel Mare, from the service to the drinks, appetizers, entrees and dessert. We had the Cream of Mushroom Soup, Tomato Caprese salad (best ever), The Chef's special Black Grouper Piccata, Veal Bolognese and the Chocolate Temptation for dessert.

    We had the absolute best time at Bel Mare. The food was spectacular, and our server was phenomenal. I had the home-made ravioli which was cooked to perfection. I had a chocolate martini which is not an easy drink to make but the bartender was spot on. It was one of the best one I ever had. Even though this was our first time at this restaurant, we felt like we were old friends. We were not rushed and were given such great recommendations on food by our waiter. He was simply the best!! The restaurant is beautiful with amazing views of the marina. I highly recommend this restaurant and cannot wait to return. Thank you for truly an amazing evening.

    Outstanding food - we had shrimp and lobster pasta dishes. The waiter was excellent and helpful. Sitting inside turned out to be better because of the street noise/music. We switched to an inside table without issue. Really impressed by this place. I usually don’t write reviews but Bel Mare deserves it. Thank you
