Cafe Fiorello

Food was served cold and when we asked for the hot version of what we ordered, it came out cold again (meatballs and sausage and peppers) The antipasti platter was swimming in oil and incredibly meager portions for $21. All in all, the only reason I would return would be that there were no other Lincoln Center options - including a picnic. Bad meal and incredibly expensive for such awful food and service.

Dinner took nearly an hour to come and almost made us miss the opera. Wait staff was virtually non-existent. I'll never make that mistake again. Too bad because the food is actually good.

Café Fiorello was at one time a great restaurant, particularly if you were going to an event at Lincoln Center . Sadly, it has gone downhill, while the prices are still sky high! Our waiter couldn't be bothered with us, to the point that when we ordered coffee, he plopped a pot in the middle of the table and disappeared. There are too many other good and great restaurants in the Lincoln Center area now to suffer through dinner at Café Fiorello.

I've dined here before and didn't like it. The only reason I returned is that there are literally 4 options within walking distance to Lincoln Center which is where I happened to be. The food isn't good. I had the vegetable appetizer which consisted of some olives, broccoli rabe and braised fennel - not much to say about it. For dinner I had risotto with scallops. It wouldn't have been bad if it wasn't so over salted. I actually felt myself swell as I ate. It wasn't really edible. I ate what I could and left the rest. The on... read more

We had a reservation for dinner at 5:45. We were seated promptly, and then the waiting began. It took 30 minutes to get a drink and appy, followed by another hour wait. The meal never did arrive, but after 1 1/2 hours, we had to leave (had tickets to a show). The little bit of food that we did try (appys) was OK but the service was so poor that it was just not worth it. Overall a very poor experience, and I would not return.

I had reservations for 6:30 and we arrived at 6:15 so we waited to sit outside. This couple that came in without reservations were seated immediately because they happened to know the people that worked there. We finally were seated and we ordered our drinks and shared a salad. We did get our salad, but waited an hour for our food, which never came. They gave us a free vegetable appetizer, but that didn't make up for the fact that they still charged us for our drinks and salad. When we asked for our bill, the waitress said t... read more

It was 1st nice Sunday in months and I don't think restaurant was prepared for crowds. They had run out of several offerings by p.m. The food was not bad, but nothing was special. Have eaten there for brunch many times before, but were very disappointed

My seat was in a congested area as the computer was located behind me. After waiters bumped into me numerous times, I asked to change my seat. Since there didn't appear to be open seats and we had a time problem, having to be seated at the Opera by 8:00 pm, after arriving before 6:15 pm my wife took my seat and sat as close to the table as possible to avoid some of the bumps. We ordered our meal very quickly and thought that we would have plenty of time to eat. However, despite many requests the main course didn't come for m... read more
