Seaside On The Pier Replacing Ristorante Al Mare On The SM Pier

It was back in June of 2013, when I first noticed a new Italian restaurant gearing up to cater to the hungry tourist trade on the Santa Monica Pier.  Sadly, it appears that Ristorante Al Mare has closed up shop…  Making haste to replace it will be Seaside On The Pier, at least according to the plywood covering the remodel.  Looks like they’re installing a grill, sandwich shop, and a rooftop lounge.

Ristorante Al Mare Coming Soon To SM Pier

Construction is underway on a brand-spanking new Italian restaurant on the Santa Monica Pier, next to the carousel building.  According to the signs, Ristorante Al Mare will offer a rooftop bar-lounge, live entertainment, and even cooking classes.  No word on an opening date, but by the look of things, they’re well on their way toward the projected summer opening.
