Casa Tua New York

Casa Tua is within The Surrey hotel in NYC. ( and we love The Surrey!) There are 2 sides to the restaurant. One is the restaurant itself and the other is more of a bar.

The service in the restaurant is wonderful and the food is superb. The lighting and ambiance is soft and elegant. We have had dinner there only once and it was a lovely experience. The staff is attentive and professional. They have a warmth about them which makes you feel so welcome. I particularly love the art (large photographs of relaxing family times and food!) they have displayed.

My husband and I enjoy their bar for a cocktail. The experience within the bar mirrors the restaurant but is more intimate yet still very chic and cool. Colorful and vibrant books (as in large coffee table books) are the primary decor. They line the walls. Are displayed with subtle lighting, on tables. Cozy seating, comfy chairs.

Someone, likely the manager, Daniele Balsano, will be there to open the door to welcome you with a smile, an Italian greeting, and maybe a kiss on your hand ( I approve. No worries!) Daniele does an excellent job tending to the patrons and making everyone feel welcome ( in his home!) If he’s not juggling the workings of the bar behind the scenes, he’s with his guests, making sure our needs are met. He’s so good at juggling the tasks at hand while elegantly tending to his guests.

The bartenders are delightful. Sometimes I’m indecisive and each time they offer suggestions and try new things and the results are always delicious. The bar area is fairly small so if you like to sit at the bar, like we do, better get there early or wait patiently.

Prepare yourself for a wonderful experience!

The lounge off of the hotel lobby (not the private club) is so perfectly sexy with amazing lighting and atmosphere and the maître d’ was so charming, friendly and welcoming. Can’t wait to return.

Great all around. Our server Hemingway spent time getting to know us and was class. The wine specialist was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. The rest of the staff extremely welcoming and on top of everything. Food was great, get the pasta and the pistachio ice cream at the end which they put a candle in for a birthday. Amazing building/room.

It was my husband and I first time eating at Casa Tua. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. The service was exceptional. The food was delicious and the dessert was very yummy. I would highly recommend to friends and family. It’s great to have a wonderful establishment as Casa Tua on the upper east side.

I’ve been to Casa Tua in Miami a few times and always had a great experience. The New York location brings the same charm and elevated vibe — cozy, elegant, and welcoming. Service was excellent and the overall atmosphere made it a place I’ll definitely return to.

Everything we ordered was delicious! It is a bit pricey but the quality of food and service is worth it ! Drinks were good but not outstanding, I’d say 7.5/10

We booked a reservation months ago, we traveled from afar to come to this restaurant. When we arrived we were seated then told we had to leave because 1 of our guests had shorts on. This was a Wednesday at 5pm and 100 degrees outside , only 1 other couple in the restaurant. I asked to speak to manager , she said they have a strict dress code even though nothing is mentioned on the website regarding no shorts. I explained that we traveled far and was not aware of this rule she said she'd make a call then came back and said we will make an exception. The servers were very nice and food was good but the experience was ruined because we were made to feel so uncomfortable for no reason. Literally no one was in the restaurant, it was a Wednesday early dinner, and this is 2025. The Miami restaurant people are all in shorts .
As much as we liked the food we won't go back .

I had such a lovely dinner at Casa Tua next to The Carlyle Hotel. It’s exactly the kind of spot I love—cozy, upscale, and effortlessly beautiful. The vibe is romantic, the lighting is soft, and the decor feels like a mix between a Milanese townhouse and a stylish NYC apartment.

I ordered the beef tartare to start—super fresh and perfectly seasoned. For my main, I had the branzino, which was light, buttery, and fell apart beautifully. My drink of choice? A lychee martini—smooth and just the right amount of sweet. I wrapped up the night with their lemon pie, which was so refreshing after the richness of the meal.

✨ The staff was warm and attentive, and the energy felt exclusive without being pretentious. If you’re staying on the Upper East Side or just want a quiet, romantic night out with incredible Italian food, Casa Tua UES is a must.

Are you kidding me? This place is a joke. From the moment you enter, The women at the door are entitled and full of snobbery. The food is at best mediocre. Just like the hosts. Artichoke salad for 32 bucks and it's literally four bites. The pasta was whatever. The steaks are to be avoided and the service is even worse. No one really runs this place. And whoever does needs to step it up especially at the prices they charge for what I call WHATEVER FOOD. Zero memorable bites. Don't waste your time in an entitled vibe with food that goes nowhere but deep out of your pockets. East side fakes and not worth the money.
