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 always have an attendant, stocked with beautiful products from Santa Maria Novella and Diptyque. It’s a small thing, but it says a lot about the level of care they bring to the entire experience.
As part of the Sant Ambroeus family, Casa Lever represents the very top tier of what they do. It’s a true New York staple and has been for years. In my opinion, it’s one of the best.. if not the best Italian restaurant in the city.

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 go back again.

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 polished and professional without being cold they know when to check in and when to leave you alone which is an art form most restaurants never master. The bar area before lunch is ideal for a quick meeting or a glass of wine while you wait. Park Avenue is full of restaurants competing for the business crowd and Casa Lever wins by not competing at all. It simply exists at a level that others aspire to. If you work in Midtown and you have not eaten here you are missing one of the best Italian meals within walking distance of your office. Clean elegant and always consistent.

If you haven’t dined at Casa Lever, you’re missing out on one of Manhattan’s most inviting indulgences. My waiter, Leo, was flawless — attentive, charismatic, and genuinely made me feel seen. He recommended a Cosmopolitan after I’d started with a French 75. I’ve never liked a Cosmo… until Leo changed my mind. (And just so you know, the French 75 here is so remarkable I told him he owes it to himself to revisit it.)
When Leo took a break, a sweet waitress stepped in — I can’t remember her name, but her warmth and care kept everything seamless.
Then came the Spaghetti with Bottarga — a dish that embodied the sea and elegance in every bite. Bottarga is cured mullet or tuna roe, often called “the caviar of the Mediterranean,” and when grated fresh over pasta it gives a briny, umami-rich flavor with a whisper of ocean air.  Paired simply with olive oil, garlic, citrus zest, and a touch of pasta water to emulsify it all, the strands of spaghetti turned silky, luminous, and deeply savory.  With each forkful I felt the flavors deepen and linger — that bittersweet moment when you almost don’t want it to end.
The vibe was just as memorable. I ended up vibing with three other guests at the restaurant, and the evening was so effortless and warm that I completely forgot all my plans.
Between the cocktails, conversation, pasta that sings of the sea, and an atmosphere that welcomes you like an old friend, Casa Lever offers nights you won’t want to leave — and will dream about after.

Came here for a team outing with a group of 9 for their restaurant menu. The deal was $60 for appetizers, a main and a dessert. The food was good but portion sizes of our mains were pretty unimpressive. Desserts were larger than our mains which seemed silly as it was individually given. But overall still delicious. A good corporate spot

I like the catch of day dorado and the casa lever salad very much. Apple and cream dessert is a delight

I’d give it 6 stars if I could! Fantastic experience. Attentive staff, fun decor and, of course, delicious food. It was quite busy, but conversation was easy enough and service was impeccable. Our “go to” restaurant for a nice meal in NYC. Highly recommended!
