hospitality. The epitome of Milanese spirit, Casa Lever is where Manhattan goes for a taste of
La Dolce Vita.

Park Avenue masterpiece built in 1951, is today
known as the quintessential glass box skyscraper.
Casa Lever merges the rich history of original
designer Marc Newson who created an edgy, yet
elegant twenty-first-century look with restyling
of William T Georgis in 2009 to create a timeless
property, that Casa Lever is today and destined
to become an institution in itself.

Iacopo Falai
Culinary Director, SA Hospitality Group
A native of Florence, Italy, Iacopo Falai is the culinary director of SA Hospitality Group,
overseeing the menus at the group’s iconic Italian restaurants known for their dining excellence
both in New York and throughout the country – including Casa Lever, Sant Ambroeus, and Felice.
Iacopo pays homage to Italian classics, creating quintessential dishes rooted in traditional
techniques that celebrate nature’s gifts and a rich cultural history. Illustrated by the use
of only the best possible ingredients, presented in a format that is simple and pure to its source,
Falai’s dishes culminate years of exploration to form mature, composed menus.
Under his personal ideology of Complex Simplicity, Iacopo Falai harmonizes meticulously paired
ingredients to create flavor profiles that are perfectly balanced and effortlessly arranged in a
delightful symphony. “It took time to reach the level of simplicity you find – a maturity I’ve
grown into. When two elements of a dish come together, it’s like bringing together two notes that
harmonize and resonate deeply.” Iacopo explains, “It’s a reduction of the white noise and
other distractions that bombard our modern life to offer a simple reprieve- a chance to slow down
in the beautiful chaos of the city.”
Iacopo spent four years working at Enoteca Pinchiorri, a three-Michelin-starred Florentine restaurant,
taking time to consult for Matsuya in Tokyo.
In 2000, Iacopo arrived to New York and in 2005, ventured out on his own, opening Falai and Falai
Panetteria on the Lower East Side. His work earned him a StarChefs’ Rising Stars awards and 2 stars
in the New York Times.
