Casa Mono

Union Square, Flatiron District & Gramercy


Another success story from restaurateur Mario Batali and chef Andy Nusser, Casa Mono features a great, long bar where you can sit and watch your Michelin-starred tapas being prepared, or dine at tables for more discreet conversation. Either way, get set for flavor-slamming bites like creamy eggs with sea urchin, walnuts, lime and anchovy oil.

Around the corner lies Batali’s Bar Jamón.
