Came here for lunch and it’s honestly a great place. Big table with plenty of room, some half-private cabins. During lunchtime, there is jazz background music. The place is a bit noisy. The Caesar salad was made with fresh anchovies. And the cacio e pepe pasta was also really well made. The waiters and the staff are very friendly. There is a special room for hanging your coats in case you’re coming in on a cold day.
Casa Lever is simply one of the absolute best Italian restaurants in New York City. Every time you go, it’s a sure thing. The ambiance is beautiful. The room, the lighting, the artwork, everything feels elegant and thoughtfully designed. It’s classic New York with a refined Italian sensibility that runs through every detail. The food is spectacular. You can tell they use the best ingredients and care deeply about quality, down to the smallest touches. Everything feels intentional and elevated.
Casa Lever was a delightful dining experience on all fronts. Once inside, it is easy to see the careful attention that was paid to the architectural design and craftsmanship. An original artwork series by Damien Hirst was displayed the length of one wall in the restaurant completing the scene. The service was friendly, effusive and there when needed. Our food was equally excellent with a range of flavors all of which never seemed to get in each other’s way. I give Casa Lever my highest recom
