Delicious and authentic Italian cuisine. The space is beautiful, elegant, unpretentious. The service was impeccable. We were a party of 9 so we ordered many different things off the menu and every dish was delicious. Molto buono!
We enjoyed one of the loveliest of evenings last night.... On a beautiful Friday evening we sat in the courtyard, which is set up in such a pleasing manner. The service was spot on pleasant and helpful. Each and every dish was creative and flavorful and the presentation was stunning. As we were dining we realized some live music had begun in the bar area, such a pleasant surprise. On our way out we peeked in to see the dining room which was beautiful. We may have found our new favourite restaurant. Molte grazie
Came here for a happy hour and although it was way too crowded it was a great spot. Very good drinks, good service, good food. Would like to come here to eat at some point
After multiple recommendations, finally headed to Casa Lever for dinner. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and feels very deco. It's not overly packed and there is a combo of tables and booths. There's also a lovely bar that I definitely will be returning to. Cocktails were delicious and the prawns appetizer with the spicy sauce reduction was *chefs kiss*. Known for their pasta and red sauce, we ordered the Bolognese and the Dover sole with truffles was delicious (though the lovely, well-intentioned waiter who de-boned it did a sub-par job and I would have preferred to do it myself). Will definitely be returning!
**This review is only for drinks** I met a friend for happy hour on a weekday evening and was surprised she was able to snag an outdoor table given the lovely weather (still almost 80 degrees!) and the crowd. At around 5p, it was quite busy and would likely be a challenge to get a table (again, not sure how she got one!). The drinks and wine list is curated (meaning: small but thoughtful), and I had a lovely Sancerre. The drinks aren't cheap but at least they come with bar snacks (olives and nuts). Service was fast and friendly.
This restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere to it. The bar is beautiful and has many different options. I have been here a few times just recently last night for a Birthday! As you can see from my pictures the food is absolutely delicious, presentation is wonderful and the service was great! The waiters took my food allergies seriously and came around to ask how we were doing. This is a wonderful place to come for any celebrations, dates or if you just want a very nice dinner out! I 100% recommend it.
Absolutely phenomenal food, service, and setting. The hamachi crudo, prosciutto, carbonara, ossobucco, and gianduia were all incredible. The wine list was delicious as well. Can't wait to come back!
