"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!"

    The Yellowtail Piccata is my favorite meal in Key West and the mushroom soup is amazing! Our entire experience was excellent.

    Overall our experience was disappointing. We have dined here before and the service was impeccable. Perhaps the restaurant was under staffed but we needed to request clean silverware and plates after a. course. Appetizer and salad were fine. The main course of mushroom ravioli was dry, cold , and tough. The waiter arrived after we had cut our dish into edible sections. Too late to send back and quite frankly , we found ourselves lacking interest in any other dish. Would not recommend.

    We had four appetizers and dessert. We both liked the outstanding ceviche, and the very good burrata preparations. The octopus was ok, not great, and Jane liked the mushroom soup with taleggio more than I did. She loved the taleggio in the soup and I thought it hurt more than helped the flavor, so if you love taleggio, a very smelly cheese, you will probably like the soup. The key lime pie was also excellent. The service was slow to start, no one getting to the table after we were seated for about ten or more minutes, but after that it was pleasant and prompt. It has nice views of the marina but to get a window table, of which there are about a dozen, you have to reserve early. There are four or five outdoor tables on the deck. It is a little out of the way of the nearby marina area conch republic type places, being upstairs, and Italian fine dining rather than Key West dining, so we thought it would much less crowded, but it filled up pretty well for a Thursday evening. Prices of the apps were $15-$22, not too bad, and the KL pie was $12. The mains are mostly in the $40s and $50. We had an excellent Abruzzi Pecorino white wine for $36. We will go back.
