Mario believes that olive oil is as precious as gold, that shorts are acceptable attire for every season and that food, like most things, is best when left to its own simple beauty.  To that end, Mario creates magic night after night in Manhattan, dividing his time between his award winning restaurants. In 2007, Mario planted his orange clog in Las Vegas with three all new Italian eateries.

CASA MONO

Mario’s Spanish taverna with a New York sensibility. Choose from over 150 wines and another dozen Sherries. Small plates, tapas-style, are all the rage, but traditional appetizers and entrees, spun beautifully by Mario and Chef Andy Nusser, will make you long for Barcelona. Marion Burros of The New York Times says Mario has, “another hit on his hands.”

BAR JAMÓN

Located adjacent to Casa Mono, this bustling tapas bar is cozy and communal. Wonderful Spanish cheeses and hams, small plate specialties and a smaller but no-less-meaningful selection of wines and Sherries than its larger next-door neighbor. Even if you’re by yourself, you won’t be alone at Bar Jamón, Mario’s raucous, easy-going hangout for food and drink.
