We arrived late for our reservation (but called to let them know) and with a limited amount of time before our curtain time and were accommodated as quickly as possible. The maitre'd was calm and competent in a madhouse environment. The complimentary prosecco was a nice touch to help pass the time. Our waiter made great recommendations to help us enjoy our meal with the limits of our time. At that point given the madhouse and rush we didn't expect much but the food was surprisingly good. Excellent and authentic eggplant parm... read more

Never a disappointment, Cafe Fiorello is my family's favorite pre-Lincoln Center dining spot (though I've enjoyed lunches, cocktails and antipasti, and more leisurely dinners there as well). The food is delicious and the service professional and efficient--they'll always get you out in time for your curtain. I especially love the shrimp and beans, various antipasti, pizza, unusually thin and refined chicken parmigiana, and, of course the chocolate mousse. Prices are reasonable. Yes, it's pretty hectic pre-concert time, but t... read more

A little on the pricy side but good reliable food & service that will get you out on time before a show. Entrees are generous and worth sharing when having an assortment of appetizers or small plates

Used to love going to Cafe Fiorelli for pizza or antipasti before Lincoln Center events. The thin crust pizza is still the very best in town. The antipasti choices amazingly delicious. But-- they have dropped pizza from their evening menu and upped the per person charge to $30. And, the waiter staff attitude is too pompous for the overcrowded bistro setting. There goes our opportunity for a glass of wine and a nosh before Lincoln Center. I guess we'll have to get our pizza fix at lunch time.

Always an enjoyable night at Fiorellos. Great atmosphere, wonderful wait staff, and the food is divine. I highly recommend their specialty, open faced lasagna, or their pizza but the antipasto bar is also amazing. You must save room for dessert though. The chocolate mousse is DIVINE! I dream about it. The best I have ever had. The server comes out with two bucks -one filled with the most fluffy and rich dark chocolate mousse you will ever have and the other filled with freshly whipped cream. He piles a mound of each on your ... read more

First time having liver and onions here; I'm always tempted but rarely eat it. A little disappointing, it was cut into a mountain of slices which were inconsistently cooked, some very rare, others overdone and grisly. Lots of onions which is always good but not the Venetian specialty I had hoped for. My dinner companions were more satisfied with the shrimp scampi and the lobster carbonara. The antipasto is always my first choice; especially the caponata, cippolini onions and carmelized fennel. We all split the fennel this ti... read more

Cafe Fiorello was an excellent restaurant to eat at before going across the street for an opera at Lincoln Center. Food was excellent and server was very attentive!

We love to sit in the front section. One looks at Lincoln center and the other looks at the vibrant bar scene. Antipasti dishes are displayed at the bar GREAT SELECTION! Service is spectacular. The open face Lasagna is a treat. Share it!

We had a very nice brunch. It was pre-concert at Lincoln Center so it was convenient for us. We had not been there in a long time so we wanted to go back. It did not disappoint.
