We sat outside and loved it! We ordered the artichoke Judea, arugula salad, mushrooms, all delicious. But wait, their chicken parm and veal parm outstanding! The presentation and flavor .. Great!!! Surprised me, and that's rare. I only hope the meat is grass fed(veal), and chicken range free(I usually ask, but didn't this time; I was overwhelmed by the presentation. Thumbs up!!! The pizza (thin crust) soooo good!!!! The only thing I didn't like is the chocolate sorbetto: too sweet and tasted very much like water.

A long time favorite for Lincoln Center patrons (as evidenced by all the plaques with reserved names), there's a reason Cafe Fiorello endures. The service is warm and the food is delicious. There are many options to choose from; the antipasto bar offers at least ten options that can be combined any way (don't miss the roman artichokes!). For mains, both the scallops and shrimp scampi were delicious and satisfying. A lemon sole special was also a favorite. The caramelized lemon tart was a great dessert (and is big enough to s... read more

Long time favorite before a performance at Lincoln Center, Cafe Fiorello is still a choice despite new and interesting restaurants in the the neighborhood.

There's a varied crowd of older , sophisticated neighborhood New Yorkers, some tourists, and plenty of people dining before a performance at Lincoln Center. The mix makes for a lively buzz and a fe... read more

The vegetable platters, which we had, are excellent for a light lunch, although a bit pricey.

Cafe Fiorello is a great way to top off a visit to Lincoln Center. Cross the street and there you are. The service is very good; their wine list is approachable, the food is original and quite good.. All in all, if Lincoln Center is your destination, Cafe Fiorello is your go to eatery.

Would recommend dinner or lunch from the main menu. Brunch items not recommended and are quite pricey. Also, on two occasions, we were told that they did not have ketchup which we requested for our scrambled eggs and potatoes! Restaurant is extremely noisy and crowded pre-theater but wait- staff does a good job given the busy conditions.

The food and service were excellent. We thought it would be tight to make the show but after ordering the food came out remarkably fast and was delicious! Great spot!
