"People often ask us about tapas, as if New York is littered with amazing Spanish restaurants on every corner. In reality, there are only a few greats, and Casa Mono is the best of them. The menu is a mix of traditional and more creative small plates, and pretty much all of them are good. The Ensalada Mono, octopus, bone marrow, and skirt steak should definitely be part of your order." - team infatuation
"Casa Mono is a reliable classic that will impress anyone in the market for small plates of seafood, meat, and vegetables. Just know that a tapas dinner here can get expensive quickly, and you usually can’t just walk in. (Even the bar next door, Bar Jamón, is often too busy for you to find a seat.) Make a reservation and come here on a double date with people who won’t mind sharing things like bacalao croquetas, goat confit, and crispy pig ears.

"This longtime Gramercy Spanish favorite continues with its one star a la carte menu." - Eater Staff
"The Bastianich-owned Spanish wine bar on Irving Place had a customer, Carrie, who said, “They would have filled my table easily, so it felt like a money grab,” and added, “It’s a shame because the food is innovative and I want to support that, but I also don’t want to be taken advantage of. I want to be met with some understanding.” The anecdote — she had a reservation for four, felt too sick to go, and went anyway to avoid a $25 per person cancellation fee only to be turned away at the door — illustrates diner frustration with perceived unfair enforcement of cancellation policies." - Andrea Strong
