Experience

A marriage of authentic Italian coastal cuisine from the Almafi Coast with New England’s signature style to create the freshest seafood, handmade pastas and true Italian pizzas from chef/partner Adam Sobel in collaboration with Michael Mina and MINA Group. Located in the newly designed MGM Springfield, the restaurant celebrates the best of coastal Italian cuisine while featuring the Atlantic Seaboard’s bountiful ingredients. The menu highlights seafood from both the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Oceans, as well as fresh handmade pastas and brick oven pizzas.

Cal, short for California, represents our sensibility, and Mare means “sea” in Italian.  Calmare, “to soothe” in Italian, evokes the vibrant seaside elegance of Italy’s Amalfi Coast, but also features a nod to the contemporary Atlantic setting – “sun-drenched soulfulness with style.” The mission is to transport guests to a place of bliss and happiness through truly delicious food, creative drinks with an approachable and convivial ambiance.  

Cal Mare is a concept that has been close to Chef Sobel’s heart and soul for many years, and is largely inspired by his journey throughout Italy, visiting the coastal regions of Lazio, Campania, Sicilia and Puglia, as well as the hillsides just outside of Rome. Chef’s signature dish “Caviale y Mozzarella”, allows our guests to indulge in two of Sobel’s favorite things: caviar and fresh mozzarella.

The local farmers markets provide us with the best selection of seasonal fruits and vegetables one can find. Our menu comprises of mostly of charcoal-grilled fish, crudi, and lighter Italian cuisine, leaving our guests feeling nourished and energized. Cal Mare’s beverage program focuses on the wines of southern Sicily and other regions in Italy, Limoncelli, light, refreshing, craft cocktails and house-made Italian sodas.
