I cannot Thank You enough for a wonderful dining experience. I had friends visiting from Texas & I am so pleased that I selected this restaurant. The service was great. We were very comfortable never rushed, we thoroughly enjoyed the Cesar Salad, Chicken Parmesan . Seafood shrimp plate & the Ravioli( although the ravioli could have been a little softer). The chocolate mousse was a big hit. The waiters were the absolute best. I loved everything & will return here. I will also recommend the restaurant to my friends.

The first time in years that something was not running soothly at Cafe Fiorello, perhaps the first night of the new menu, perhaps the kitchen staff? Seems many items on the menu were not available or they ran out of them by 6:30 PM. Bizarre! What happened to the crispy flat bread? Spaghetti bolognese was mediocre, but the chicken pail lard was excellent. Going back tomorrow night and will see what happens.

You can always rely on a good lunch or brunch prior to a production at Lincoln Center.

The place is nice and the service was excellent. The food in general was disappointing. My husband ordered lamb chops and they were overlooked and rough. He ordered them medium rare, and they brought them well done. They changed for a fresh ordered, but still the meat was tough. I ordered Dover Sole, and same thing... Never had a fish that was rough, and thus was. Not a great flavor. Yet we payed a bill of almost 300 dollars. Way too much for what we had.

We were regulars at Cafe Fiorello for all the years we lived in New York. Back again for a weekend visit after moving to Atlanta several years ago, we couldn't miss dining here before theatre at Lincoln Center. We saw many familiar faces and had a terrific meal. If there was a notable difference it was the price which was noticeably higher than our last visit. Oh well, what isn't???

One of many visits to this "landmark" restaurant for pre theater pre concert dining and for meeting with friends at a convenient location. There was care regarding the reservation that was made in advance, the service was conscientious and cordial, even when the order was changed mid meal, and there was no rush placed upon my companion and me when we lingered past the time we finished eating even though the restaurant became busy. all the reasons I frequently return and, by the way, the food was good too!

Took out of towners to Cafe Fiorello, for lunch on a snowy day after a concert at Lincoln Center. Received a warm welcome upon entering and received a booth in the back , which I had requested. My friend had eggplant parmesan which I tasted and I've never had better. My salad of arugula and artichoke was my least favorite as it had much too much dressing and the artichokes were tough. Next time I'll stick to the pizzas which are always wonderful. The restaurant was fairly empty due to the weather, I think, so we had plenty o... read more

This is a great restaurant for lunch or dinner before a Lincoln Center performance. Service is quick and efficient and the food is a much better than average Italian execution. Fresh fish and pasta were both great....decent wine list. Most of all, attentive service never leaves you concerned about making the performance.
