Casa Mono is Mario Batali's Spanish ode to the ever-popular Cal Pep tapas bar in Barcelona.

WHAT THEY SAID
The food is some of my favorite and the best Spanish wine list (by far) in the city.
They make food that makes me want to die in a food coma.
The fideos are slamming and the service is great.
Wicked good. This place is so much fun to eat at. Curious combinations, always gonna have marrow and feet. I love bones and toes.
Chef Jamie Bissonette of Toro and Coppa
Chef Tyson Cole of Uchi and Uchiko
I always love Casa Mono. It’s an oldie but a goodie, really good.
Great collection of Northern Spain whites like Verdejo, Ribiera, and Txakolina.
