From the restaurant's website:
"Casa Mono and its sister restaurant, Bar Jamon are located next to each other on Irving Place and 17th Street, just east of Union Square. . Casa Mono features raciones of Catalan specialties and serves dishesFrom all corners of the Iberian Peninsula. Executive Chef Andy Nusser, who lived in the fishing village of Cadaqués, along Spain's Costa Brava, has taken classic dishes and added his own affinity for adventurous proteins like sweetbreads, cockscombs, and pig's feet. Daring and exploratory, inventive and robust, Nusser's dishes are a tribute to his adoptive cuisine. Golden, crispy Bacalao Croquetas served with dabs of Orange Alioli are divine, memorable, perfect. Hearty dishes like Skirt Steak with Onion Mermelada, Quail with Cardoons and Pomegranates and Pork Shoulder with Pardina Lentils and Quince are as transcendent and distinct as the regions of España."
"In Casa Mono, a tapas bar-restaurant with a New York sensibility, Joe Bastianich and Mario Batali have another hit on their hands. ... The diner will have no trouble putting together enough little plates to make a very satisfying meal."
