The Corcoran GroupAugust 1, 2013Another Batali success - this tapas joint is up there as one of our favorites. We love just about everything here, but the razor clams and the pumpkin and goat cheese croquetas are must-orders!
Upvoted May 1
Ariana VoyerAugust 27, 2016Larger than tapas; duck egg w/black truffles - must get! Also tried Long Island striped bass w/peaches, razor clams, bone marrow, jamon iberico & mussels w/chorizo. Complex flavors and unique pairings
Cali ZimmermanOctober 9, 2014Not your average tapas place. The plates are actually descent proportions and have such a variation of tastes that you'll be full after about 4-5 (sharing). The best: pigs ears, the razor clams
RisaMarch 25, 2016COME HUNGRY & GET EVERYTHING. Pictured here: briny uni, silky eggs, fruity olive oil, tangy lime zest, and earthy nuts. Apparently I never knew balance before eating this. Dessert: olive oil cake!
Ben K.April 29, 2015Fantastic tapas and authentic experience if you stand at the counter at Bar Jamon. Order the standards: pan con tomate, mussels escabeche, rillettes, Jamón iberico, polpo and finish with churros.
Kimmie OhhJune 30, 2020Amazing tapas bar! Get the burrata with corn, bacalao croquetas, crab & chorizo croquetas, sardinas, razor clams, jerk fried quail, oxtail peppers, chicken beats & bone marrow. Be adventurous here!
Hien LyMarch 4, 2017Yummy!! The razor clams, duck egg with black truffle, setas (oyster mushrooms) with garlic! Tiny place with half tables and half bar style seats. Lovely wines as well.
Alex RobertsonFebruary 22, 2019amazing place. get a seat at the bar where you can watch the lady cook—everything looks spectacular being cheffed up and then coming out. the aesthetics might slightly outpunch the taste though
Chefs FeedAugust 2, 2016The combination of pork, seafood and aioli in the classic fideo noodle-based dish is irresistible. It is the must-order at Mario Batali's Spanish restaurant. Read more
Ernesto GutierrezFebruary 20, 2016Razor clams made me a believer. A simple dish with incredible taste. The pork croqueta is a piece of heaven. Their jamón ibérico is a great cut. Great spot to bring a date.
Serious EatsApril 2, 2013Casa Mono serves the food of Catalunya, with an emphasis on traditional dishes like fideos and croquetas. Expect a packed crowd at Bar Jamon, where the charcuterie and wine are the thing.
Johnnie SkywalkingDecember 26, 2016Unfortunately razor clam is not available all the time. But there are plenty other or all other dishes to make up for. Bone marrow. Creamy eggs. Fluke. Must sit at the counter table.
Kiwi WangOctober 4, 2016This has been my favorite restaurant in NYC for 12 years and counting. Have never disappointed. So consistently delicious. That seared foie with cinco cebollas oh man oh man.
Eric TashSeptember 18, 2013This place makes me believe unicorns and Santa Claus exist. Wow. Charcuterie, seared duck breast and pork meatballs made the stars align. This is placed in the top 1% of meals I've had in NYC.
ben mAugust 20, 2014I love both sides. Casa Mono for the razor clams and beets. Bar Jamon for wine and cheese. When you go for the cheese get a sheep, cow and goat. Love life.
Renaud #January 17, 2018Great food, great ambiance if you do not mind the loud sound volume. Potatoes, scallops with green curry (picture) are delicious.
Jaime SingsonJune 16, 2013Try the Patatas bravas. Superb and delicious. Don't listen to them when they tell u that u can just walk in w/o reservation. when we arrived, we couldn't be seated since we didn't have a reservation!
Rewan PartiOctober 16, 2015Order the pata negra and the sherry wine fleet. The charred octopus is great. This place can be very busy so make sure you call ahead and get a reservation.
Marie La RueApril 20, 2021A look at the menu will transport you to Spain. Scallops, buratta and almond cake were standouts. Excellent service.
Alex HunsuckerJune 4, 2012You can't make a bad choice on this menu. The blackened beats, soft shell crab, and pork belly were highlights. Be sure to ask for the sommelier for help with the extensive wine menu - he's great.
Susan LaiJanuary 30, 2020Everything! sardines, mackerel, baby squid, RAZOR CLAMS - Delicious!Creme fraiche ice cream was so refreshing.. Cumin was too strong in the Pulpo though.
Holy grail of amazing Spanish small plate. I return for the Razor Clams, Foie Gras (best), Duck, Pulpo, Skirt Steak, Jamon Iberico. Arrive at 6PM to ensure seating. Fun: Cocks comb avail upon request
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014Be sure to make reservations at this cozy Michelin-starred tapas restaurant. Order the razor clams a la plancha, skirt steak with romesco, and quail.
Joan ParkAugust 17, 2014Razor Clams is drenched in olive oil & garlic. Pulpo had slight bitter & citrusy flavors from the fennel and grapefruit. Pork Croquetas were a bit dry for my liking & Pan con Tomate is boring.
pablcoMarch 3, 2014It's a bit pricy 100$ for two people, but they have a bar right next to it 'bar jamon' that is much more affordable but is really small. The place is small and cozy, try the calamari and croquetas!
Natsuko UJuly 5, 2015Creative Spanish tapas.., cozy restaurant in Aster place. Food is a little salty side but very tasty.
Amanda RellaFebruary 3, 2018Fun and trendy spot for some Spanish tapas! Must try's are the bone marrow, burrata, oxtail stuffed red peppers and carpaccio.
Giulia PratiNovember 3, 2019The bar seats are a treat! You can watch it all come together in the kitchen while you wait for your next tapa and nibble.
AmateurConciergeJanuary 29, 2016The pork belly is AMAZING. Didn't love the mono salad. You can get away with less than 3 dishes per person if you're not famished
Dalì-La RienzoApril 25, 2015Really tasted tapas, very originals combinations of food and amazing wines! Love it!!
Rizzo SutariaApril 9, 2014Duck egg, razor clams, pigs ears, rabbit... literally just ate a Dr. Suess book and it was magnificent. Add lorax to the menu and fuggadaboutit.
Silene LimDecember 15, 2015It has been a while since I have been but the tapas are phenomenal. It doesn't hurt that it has a Michelin Star either, seven years in a row.
Foursquare InsidersOctober 7, 2015“When looking at this Spanish wine list, I prefer Txakoli as an aperitif, then dabble with rosé before juicy, unctuous red wines from undiscovered regions that ooze with quality.” - Laura Williamson Read more- Rocio FernandezApril 22, 20155 years since the last time here. Different times and different company. Happy with the girls here... And the razor clams.
Halstead PropertyAugust 4, 2011If you want tapas, this is it. Our waiter recommended the duck egg with mojama, and it was a spot on. Also, sit at the bar to experience Spanish food cooked à la plancha (on the grill).- Su ParkDecember 26, 2015Bone marrow, pork belly, and pork croquettes were delicious! Servers seemed grumpy, but it was Christmas Eve, so they might just not have been happy to be working. Moroccan lamb was ok.
Katie HallJuly 7, 2017Everything was beautiful, cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. Unique and delightful, Casa Mono is an absolute gem.
Kevin ZhangSeptember 12, 2013Everything is above average. Razor clamsa la plancha and squid with harissa and squid ink are standouts. Wish it were a bigger restaurant!
jake furstJune 3, 2011sit at the bar and watch the tapas masters earn their keep. my faves are the snapper crudo, soft shell crab bocadillo and pork belly with uni. also - great foursquare Special for Newbies.
Sean StenstromFebruary 21, 2014Substantial tapas and medium-sized entrées, done mostly “a la plancha” with unmistakably Catalan flavors; get the duck egg with mojama.
Come before 6pm if you want to attempt walk-in dining. Bar seats are the best because you get to watch the chefs prepare the delicious dishes!
BravoDecember 2, 2010I absolutely die for the Razor Clams! No worries, if you can't get a table, Bar Jamon is right around the corner with a huge wine selection and charcuterie station. -Arnold Myint, Top Chef

LivaJanuary 24, 2015Yummy. Wines are from Spain, ie prepare to enjoy with the meat then be ready for the tipping point into headache and the hangover later.- Food NetworkJanuary 18, 2011Casa Mono, Mario Batali's cozy tapas joint near Union Square, is serving up small plate classics like, Pork Croquetas, Spanish Mackerel, and Razor Clams A La Plancha.
Michelin Travel & LifestyleDecember 2, 2013The best tapas are razor clams, house-made chorizo, spicy rabbit kebabs, piquillo peppers, pulpo, or fried duck egg. – Green Guide Editor

"This is quickly turning into my go-to lunch spot. Any of the bocadillos rival what you'd find in Barcelona. Also, you could fill yourself up on FREE SAMPLES of chorizo & cheese alone - amuse bouche!"
