Marea

"You might not come to Marea in Columbus Circle only to eat pasta, since they do some solid crudos and have a swanky dining room that works for any special occasions. But you definitely getting the octopus-and-bone-marrow fusilli with tender octopus and a shower of extra garlicky breadcrumbs. Most of the pastas here are centered on seafood, like the gnocchetti with shrimp and rosemary oil and mafaldine with king crab, so focus your attention there." - willa moore, bryan kim, neha talreja, carlo mantuano

This fine-dining restaurant near Columbus Circle is one of our favorite places to eat pasta in NYC, simply because the options go way beyond usual suspects like linguine and clams or a frutti di mare spaghetti. Stop by for your next big night out." - bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, tiffany yannetta
