Innate warmth. Inspiring drive.

Mackenzie's advice for Casa Nela hopefuls: “DO IT!!! What is better than being a part of a company which cares about professional growth, while growing itself. Plus, who doesn't love access to the best neighborhood restaurants in the City!!”

"If I could switch roles with anyone for one day it would be Carlos Suarez, our founder.  I find what he has built for himself to be something remarkable and admirable."

Chef Chris’ favorite part about working at Casa Nela is being able to pick fresh produce straight from Rosemary’s rooftop garden in West Village.

"The thing I like most about Casa Nela is being surrounded by people who share the same passion for hospitality as me.”

“Casa Nela truly cares about their managers and team!”
