The fact that this place has certain cheeses making their New York City debut should tell you something. Casellula is brought to you by the former staff (and cheese-lovers) of Chanterelle, Blue Hill at Stone Barns, and The Modern.

But instead of a cheese cart and a guy in a tux, you get a relaxed inoteca and dishes pairing cheese in that perfect mix of inventive yet casusal. So not just cheese on a plate, but unimaginably delicious crostini, 6-Point Sweet-Actions flavord icecream sundaes, and some of the finest roast-pork-ass imaginable ("pork ass sandwich," verbatim from menu).

This place should be below 14th St, but we glad it's here.

Endive Salad, duck confit and fava bean crostini, wine/beer list, cheese flights, downtown vibes in midtown.
