This past Sunday, July 20th, Chef Salvo Lo Castro officially opened the doors to CASASALVO, his first full-service restaurant located at 195 Spring Street in the heart of SoHo. The grand opening was met with critical acclaim and packed tables, as diners raved about the fusion of Mediterranean, Italian, and European flavors that have made Chef Salvo an international culinary sensation.
“Delicious food, impeccable service, and a truly welcoming atmosphere. Every detail was thoughtfully crafted with love and passion.”
Among the standout dishes earning early praise: the Lamb Chop Premium Colorado, lauded for its perfect char and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness, and the indulgent Fettuccine CASASALVO — an instant signature.
