What's this?

These are confidence labels. They show how sure we are that what we publish still reflects the restaurant's current practice. They are not a judgement on the restaurant; the wine and cooking are scored separately, out of 100.

  • Beta means assessed and scored, but we are still confirming some details (such as the current wine list) and the restaurant has not yet had the chance to correct any factual inaccuracy, so it is published with that caveat.
  • No label means a fully confirmed entry.
  • In development means not yet a review. It appears so you can see where coverage is coming.

Restaurants often change their menus. The date beside the label says when we last reviewed.

We assessed Mara in October 2026 and this review is based on the food menu and wine list at the time of the review. As menus and wine lists change, we name styles in order for the information to remain more useful as menus change. If things have slipped you can use the Vinealto Dining app including accessing an up to date reading using 'At the Table' from the wine list in front of you in the restaurant. How we assess

Mara is an Aberdeen wine bar, bottle shop and small plates restaurant with an all Italian list. Its short, clearly written list pours most wines by the glass, with good Franciacorta and sensible matches for the fish and pasta. It suits relaxed diners who want to graze, drink by the glass and learn a little about Italian wine.

The full assessment of the wine programme, the pairings and how to get the best experience is for members. Make a free account to read five full entries.
