Our visit to Casa Mono was absolutely magical! This place hits on all cylinders. From the creativity and execution of the food, to the timing of the dishes, the expert guidance of the somm (thanks, Juan Pablo), outstanding service (thanks to our server, Anna, and accommodating hostess, Yemani), and perfect small, vibrant restaurant vibe, the professionalism of the entire Casa Mono team touched every part of our experience and made for an immensely enjoyable night. Their Michelin star is well deserved and makes the incredible value they offer all the more surprising. Well done, Casa Mono! Fans for life, you just took the top spot in our must-visit-when-in-NYC list! Kudos!

The food here is delicious and creative, a wide variety of seasonal, plant-forward pastas, pizzas, entrees and veggie sides. We had a delicious meal. My only issue was the noise level! Great for large groups, but maybe not first choice for a romantic, intimate meal.
