The restaurant charges too much for ordinary food. They get away with this practice because it is right across the street from Lincoln Center. Our table was awful; we were squashed into a corner with other people practically on top of us. The service was sweet, and the waiter adhered to our requests. It's a place that should say, "Let the Buyer Beware."

I was disappointed in the restaurant. I had a Wedding Soup and fried artichokes. Both dishes were merely passable. I particularly missed all the appetizers that used to be available. The dessert menu was also diminished -- profiteroles, which I always loved weren't on the menu either. Something has changed and not for the better.

Extremely long waiting time, tiny portions and ridicuosly high prices, food is ok but it is just not worth it

We arrived here for a meal before theater. The room was nearly empty, and boiling hot. We asked for the heat to be turned down, but as the room filled up with people, it just became ridiculously over-heated. The service was horrible -- we waited almost 45 minutes between an appetizer and an entree. One waiter seemed to be serving the entire room. And the food was unimaginably over-priced. It's tough to find a reasonable meal these days around Lincoln Center, but don't eat here, it's far from reasonable.

I've been a patron for many many yrs and recently it's missed the mark. Service has been generally good and they do keep you on time for a show, but I have had waiter attitudes of late. The reason for my review is the mediocre food. The last two visits: fish dishes under cooked and entrees that were warm or cold. Misrepresented dishes w/ change outs w/out wait staff mentioning it ie fava beans substituted with mushy peas--totally changing the dish flavor and it wasn't nice!! Over dressed salads soaking in dressing. Watered d... read more

We bought friends and were disapointed. My food was good but very cold. Husbands..worse. friends were the worst. I realize how busy they are before opera but they should be much better at their prices . Too bad as we had a better dinner before

Tables were on top of each other. Waiter kindly served the teen at our table and a kid at the next the famous thin pizza, which is now officially off the menu before 8 o'clock. Extra little gratis cookie was welcome, but did not compensate for discomfort, high prices and general sense of being tolerated rather than welcomed. We were cheek to jowl with adjacent diners and we exited early because it was such an unpleasant, crowded meal. Ain't the way it used to be. Not likely to return.

Fiorello is an over-priced and very crowded restaurant. Ravioli at $32, for example, without any sides. Portions are small. There are much nicer places at which to dine in the Lincoln Center area. Nor is the outdoor space of Fiorello's anything to write home about. You sit while buses pull up at the bus stop there and breathe in the bus fumes and hear the roar of the bus engines. The only reason Fiorello's attracts the patronage it does is because it is right across the street from Lincoln Center.
