Andrew Carmellini’s new Seaport restaurant will be an Italian chophouse. Andrew Carmellini is the chef behind restaurants like Locanda Verde and Bar Primi is planning to bring an Italian chophouse called Carne Mare to Pier 17. The 175-seat, bi-level restaurant and bar is expected to open this May at 89 South Street, between Beekman and Fulton Streets. The menu will riff on Italian classics with dry-aged steak, roasted duck, fish baked in fig leaves, and a limited selection of pastas.
