Elia's Casa Bianca Ristorante Italiano

We recently made a reservation to dine at the new Elias Casa Bianca restaurant on 52nd off of first. It is in the old La Villetta restaurant spot where we have dined for many years. The place is completely redone inside and is very nice. The reception is in the rather cold outdoor structure. Tables are nicely arranged. The bar is still in the same spot in the back. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The owner stopped by to great us as well. We ordered the calamari to start. Then we ordered the salmon, pasta special and halibut. All dishes were very well prepared and so tasty. We shared all dishes and the waiter divided each dish up perfectly. A very nice dining experience so we will definitely return again.

Excellent experience at Elia’s Casa Bianca. The food was authentic and full of flavor, the service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere felt classic and welcoming. A great spot for a relaxed Italian meal highly recommended.

I went for my Birthday and I was happy to discover this new gem in the Upper West side. Cozy ambiance, friendly service and attentive. The mussels appetizer are incredible good and the pasta veal ragu was superb, but what really loved was the cheese cake which is really really special.. I will come back just for it. Definitely a terrific spot!

This Italian place is absolutely wonderful. Delicious food, welcoming atmosphere, and staff that make you feel right at home. Can’t wait to come back😋

What a gem! Small, cozy and elegant restaurant with a delightful menu and good sized portions. The focaccia is home made and served with a light olive oil which was delicious. We all had different dishes, lobster ravioli, Elias fettuccine and the chicken Romano. We all ate everything and shared a slice of ricotta cheesecake and the tiramisu. If I could give 10 stars I would. The salads also looked wonderful as did the steak. I can’t wait to go back!.

We were seven for dinner and they accommodated us easily. Great service, big portions, and very fresh food. The staff were attentive and friendly. Everything we ordered was delicious and well prepared. They have a nice selections of wine as well. Highly recommend.

Great atmosphere and a really professional, friendly staff. The beet salad was fresh, the octopus was delicious, and the portobello pesto special was rich and flavorful. The paccheri was the highlight—the sauce and sausage were insanely good, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. Easily one of the best spots in the neighborhood right now.

I was there today for lunch and I really liked the food. The service I was impeccable! I really liked the atmosphere was really nice, very cute place. I highly recommended it.

Absolutely the best new Italian restaurant makes a great addition to Midtown East dining scene . Every dish is made to order using high quality fresh ingredients. Beautiful ambience and great service.

What a memorable dining experience at this new Italian restaurant in Midtown East . Everything from ambience, service and delicious culinary creations was simply superb . We really enjoyed everything and looking forward to our next visit to try more of their delicious dishes.

A lovely addition to the neighborhood! The surroundings are sophisticated, yet subtle, for an overall relaxing effect. The service is superb and the food is sublime (I see I'm not the first person to use this word, but it's true!). Our waiter was warm and patient, as we went through the specials of the day. Too many delicious choices! The atmosphere is enhanced by a warm and most gracious host. Not for the teeshirt and baseball cap crowd; just adults seeking a delicious respite and a divine meal. Warning: No half plates, so pace yourself; you absolutely do not want to miss dessert!

I was arriving late into the city and wanted to try one of the newest Italian restaurants. My friend and I had the greatest experience and such great banter with our waiter! We both tried the specials: gnocchi with burrata and ravioli with truffle. We couldn't put the fork down. Great spot for a quaint Italian bite!

This is the charming, neighborhood Italian restaurant you didn't know you were longing for! If you live in Sutton Place/Beekman/Midtown East, make reservations now! The staff is professional, the owner is engaging, and the food is sublime. Make it easy: Rucola Salad; Cozze (Mussels); and their delicious cheesecake. You are now in Heaven.

I went early Sunday night with my husband and my son, and we were all literally blown away by the food, the atmosphere and the service. But the food really stole the show. It was one of the best meals we have had in the city and that really says a lot!!!
