About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
"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!"

    Great food and service. Yes it is a little pricey but then it is Key West. The ambience was terrific as we ate outside and the weather was perfect. We focused on fish since we were on the ocean but we heard others remarking on the high quality of their land based servings. Overall we would highly recommend this place for a lovely evening out together!!

    Dinner at Bel Mare is an excellent experience. Overlooking the marina and being served fabulous food can’t be beat. Henrow, our server was outstanding. He suggested two specials that were amazing. An appetizer of whipped feta and mascarpone with balsamic roasted strawberries was a real treat. The scallops 5 of them, were served with lemon risotto and green cauliflower with a pomegranate reduction on the side. Truly amazing. The tried and true mushroom soup with tellegio and veal bolognese with house homemade pasta are still hits. Can’t wait to go back.

    This restaurant is upstairs across from A&B Lobster (under the same management) and the menu features Italian specialities. Our waiter, Steven, was attentive and friendly.

    Best Veal Marsala I have ever had, both texture and flavor. Kudos to the staff! My wife had the Chicken Picatta, which she loved as well.

    The arancini were delectable. The Caesar salad was fresh & toothsome. My husband had ceviche & I had the veal bolognese. We started with a Hemingway daiquiri & a Rossini. Both cocktails were perfect.
