“ We had the most incredible experience at Casa Tua NYC. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, thoughtful, and truly above and beyond. A huge thank you to Mary and Nicole, who were absolute lifesavers—they helped adjust our reservation with less than an hour’s notice after our childcare fell through and graciously accommodated our family, including two kids under three. Their kindness and flexibility meant the world to us. The staff was equally amazing. Alessandra made our daughter feel so special by singing to her and presenting her with a rose—such a beautiful and unexpected touch that made the night magical. And to top it off, Nicole personally stopped by toward the end of our dinner to wish me a happy birthday—a perfect example of the high-touch hospitality and thoughtful service that made the entire evening unforgettable. And the food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was flavorful, elegant, and made with so much care. My husband and I can’t wait to return—this time for a date night without the kids! We truly can’t say enough great things about Casa Tua. A gem in the city. ”
“ Had evening drinks and breakfast here while staying at the Surrey. Such friendly and welcoming service, even with our young children. Delicious menu too. Thanks for looking after us so well! ”
“ HOW TO GET IN: I only had to walk in at 7 pm on a Saturday and seated promptly. I had such a nice time here. As soon as we walked in the host was so sweet and directed us to the bar. The bartender Pablo made sure we were seated and comfortable. While I thought the drinks were on the pricier side, it was worth it because they tasted good and for the ambience and service alone I would understand the price. The inside is beautiful. I want to come back to try the food ”
“ A Five-Star Experience, Thanks to Danielle Balsano!!! Dining at Casa Tua in the Surrey Hotel has become one of the most treasured parts of my week - and that is in no small part thanks to the exceptional hospitality of Danielle Balsano. Danielle is, without exaggeration, the gold standard of what a host should be. From the moment you step through the doors, Danielle makes you feel like you’ve arrived at your second home. He is consistently kind, gracious, and accommodating - always greeting guests with a warm smile and a quiet confidence that immediately puts everyone at ease. Impeccably dressed and groomed, with a professional charm that never feels rehearsed, Danielle possesses a natural ability to connect with people in a meaningful and authentic way. I first brought my parents to Casa Tua, and they still talk about the experience - and about Danielle - regularly. It left a lasting impression that speaks volumes. I’ve also brought my girlfriend, who is from Sicily, and seeing how Danielle made her feel instantly at home, speaking with her in their shared Sicilian dialect and bringing that touch of southern warmth, was something truly special. It’s rare to meet someone who can make everyone at the table - from different generations and backgrounds - feel seen, comfortable, and cared for. Danielle’s communication skills are flawless. He manages the flow of the dining room with grace, ensuring every guest is taken care of without ever seeming rushed. He makes every gathering - whether it’s an intimate dinner or a larger celebration - feel seamless and personal. Because of Danielle, Casa Tua has become our go-to weekly destination, a place where we bring friends and family knowing they’ll have an exceptional time. He elevates the entire experience and truly embodies the spirit of hospitality. I can say without hesitation that Danielle Balsano deserves every recognition and opportunity for advancement. He is a rare gem in New York’s dining scene, and anyone lucky enough to be welcomed by him is in for an unforgettable evening! ”
