Very pleasant experience. Everyone was very personable which I feel led to the patrons being the same way. Good food, good mood, a very nice NY moment. Kudos to all.

Good spot for dinner after a show at Lincoln Center, my 5 year old daughter and I both enjoyed it. Service got a little slow at the end of our visit and it took a while to get the check but I think it was a function of a very busy restaurant more than anything else.

Cafe Fiorello is the busiest restaurant I have ever been in. I don't know how they can keep the pace, but they do. There are nearly as many employees as patrons, it seems. Make sure you have reservation so you're not disappointed. Whenever we are near Lincoln Center, we dine at Cafe Fiorello. Try their signature dish-open faced lasagna and their cheesecake. Wonderful. But prepare to carry some lasagna home and share your cheesecake! The portions are huge. My husband love liver. If that is something you like, I would try it. ... read more

I have a lovely time but then I always do enjoy my dining experiences at Cafe Fiorello. It's a tight squeeze seating wise and I would like to see a larger selection of pasta dishes on the menu but that's just me. The added touch of lemoncello capped the evening off great! Will definitely return.

I thought the food was good, menu diverse, servers pleasant and liquor pricey. Waiting at bar for table because we were early it was $$0 some dollars for two house cabernets--OUCH! They were good though. Service was quite slow and apologetic but the place was fun and we were relaxing after a good show at Lincoln Center so it was ok. Others at nearby tables were rather unhappy though. Thought the pasta dishes were excellent and would wholeheartedly recommend a salad and delicious pizzas. If I was a upper west sider I would fr... read more

The copper still gleams, the atmosphere is always fun and festive, but for the price--our latest experience at the famed cafe was not up to par. Our service was poor, one appetizer never appeared, and our dinner food took forever to arrive. Things were only corrected after a conversation with the overwhelmed server and a manager--not a good sign. The burrata salad, a favorite, came with sad looking arugula, a slice of tomato without flavor and we had to ask for olive oil--which was given and then hastily withdrawn. When the ... read more

It was pricier than my last visit, no more prix fixe brunch, but still just an amazing experience. It's more cramped than I recall, but they were gracious and apologetic, comped us a dessert when they had to seat a larger group next to us before we were done. The food is just wonderful. What an outlier, Cafe Fiorello was there before I moved out of NYC a LONG time ago and it's still there and strong!

Good spot for dining near Lincoln Center. It is busy and they get you out in time for your curtain. Options for healthy eating are available by choosing the wonderful anti pasto plate and selecting some of the vegetables.

have dined there many times, did not feel that evening's food was up to the usual. Admittedly, extremely busy time--and we did get out easily in time for our Lincoln Center performance.Waiter thoughtful, a little frazzled (I thought a little condescending at first, but not through rest of evening).
