Marbella: Bringing Coastal Mediterranean Glamour to Staten Island
Staten Island’s dining scene just got a bold new player. Marbella, the latest concept from renowned restaurateur Carmine Gualtieri (Wonderland NYC, Limelight Pizza), is making waves with a luxe waterfront setting and a menu that transports guests straight to the Mediterranean coast. Officially opening its doors on April 24, 2025, Marbella promises a reservations-only experience that merges elevated cuisine, sophisticated design, and an unmistakable sense of occasion.
At the heart of Marbella’s culinary vision is Executive Chef Tom Cava, whose refined take on Mediterranean flavors is both inspired and ingredient driven. His menu spotlights locally sourced produce, sustainable seafood, and expertly prepared dishes that echo the warmth and vibrancy of Southern European dining. Each plate tells a story—one rooted in tradition but interpreted through a modern, elevated lens.
Enhancing the experience even further is Marbella’s partnership with Café Aroma Especial, who’ve curated an exclusive coffee and craft cocktail program. From espresso-infused martinis to robust, aromatic blends, the beverage menu is designed to complement the richness of the cuisine while adding a bold, innovative edge to the bar.
Marbella also features the Sage Room, an elegant private dining space ideal for intimate gatherings, celebrations, and corporate events. With its tailored service and exclusive atmosphere, the Sage Room offers guests a unique way to experience Marbella’s signature hospitality in a more personal setting.
With its chic interiors, stunning views, and commitment to sustainability and hospitality, Marbella is more than a restaurant—it’s a destination. Whether you’re a food lover, a cocktail connoisseur, or simply looking for your next go-to gathering spot, Marbella is poised to become Staten Island’s crown jewel.
