Casa Lever

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. The service is equally exceptional. Antonio, the maître d’, is wonderful. He is friendly, accommodating, and genuinely welcoming. The entire team makes you feel taken care of without ever being overbearing. And the attention to detail really extends everywhere. The bathrooms are immaculate and al

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 recommendation.

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.

If I could give Casa Lever seven stars, I absolutely would. The service was truly impeccable from beginning to end. At one point when I stepped away to use the restroom, they even covered my food so it wouldn’t get cold—that level of attention to detail is rare. Every time I needed a napkin, a fresh one would appear presented on a small platter, which just shows how thoughtful and polished the service is. To top off the evening, what I believe was one of the managers brought us a digestif to finish the night, which was such a lovely touch. The entire experience felt elevated and genuinely special. The atmosphere is incredibly chic, elegant without feeling stuffy, and it really makes the whole night feel like an occasion. Casa Lever is absolutely worth the experience, and I cannot wait to

Casa Lever sits inside the Lever House on Park Avenue and it is one of the great power lunch spots in Manhattan. The room is stunning mid-century modern architecture with Warhol originals on the walls and a clientele that reads like a who is who of New York business. The food is northern Italian done with precision and restraint every dish is clean well-executed and designed to let the ingredients speak. The branzino is flawless. The risotto changes seasonally and always delivers. The pasta is handmade and you can taste the difference from the first bite. What makes Casa Lever special beyond the food is the atmosphere of quiet confidence. Nobody is shouting nobody is performing. People come here to have conversations that matter over food that respects their time and palate. The service is
