About a'Mare
Designed by acclaimed Chef and Restaurateur Alessandro Pavoni, a'Mare has been awarded with one prestigious Chef Hat from the Good Food Guide Awards. The establishment continues to pay tribute to Pavoni’s memories of Italy with dishes that celebrate the simplicity of fine ingredients, telling stories to be savoured of the regions from which they originate.
Meaning ‘by the sea’ in Italian, a’Mare sees local seafood take a special place on the menu as homage to its Sydney surrounds and the harbour side location of Crown Sydney. While traditionally Italian in its inspiration, Alessandro promises a uniquely Sydney feel with authentic and memorable tableside service.
