From the kitchens of the Vatican to the streets of SoHo, Chef Salvo Lo Castro has opened up his first restaurant in NYC. Casasalvo Restaurant brings Mediterranean flavors and Italian hospitality to a spacious 5,000-square-foot setting. It officially opened its doors to the public on July 20, 2025.
The menu features time-honored traditions and vibrant flavors from both the Mediterranean and Italy. Customers can enjoy fresh fish to 48-months-aged Parmesan, with entrees spanning risotto and pasta to steaks and lamb chops.
Moreover, you can’t miss out on the dolce e gelato, so we’d recommend ordering the Mile Foglie Traditional Recipe, Claire CASASALVO with Lemon Cream, or Gelato al Ciocolato di Modica, an Italian protected geographical indication speciality chocolate that uses ancient manual grinding.
