High quality Italian. Wait staff honestly works to make make sure that any needs are met. Tables were quite close as typical in city restaurants, but not really a bother since the other diners are quite pleasant. I would recommend the house made pasta dishes - very good. The "open faced" lasagna was outstanding. The desserts were equally wonderful. We had the Chocolate Mousse and Cheesecake. The Mousse was served with a heavy and was was delightful - especially with an cup of espresso. The Cheesecake was very creamy NY style... read more
Cafe Fiorello is a West Side mainstay, a perfect place to eat if you're going to Lincoln Center or a film at any of the nearby cinemas. The pasta dishes are amazing, and the mains not far behind. While the people traffic is busy to the point of chaotic, the food is excellent and the waiter staff trained to serve and get you to your performance on time. Book ahead and come early!!! And don't expect to get a seat at the appetizer bar. It's first come, first serve, and there's always a waiting list near performance time.
Cafe Fiorello is right across the street from Lincoln Center, so it's always jammed from 6-8pm with vibrant people who love the arts. Lots of energy. Food is excellent. Good people watching. Wonderful antipasto bar. delicious food. Not cheap.
The food is very good, from the simple (pizza) to the more complex. The antipasto bar is also very good. And the profiteroles are worth saving your appetite for. In spite of the crowds it serves, the Cafe Fiorello somehow manages to make you feel like a welcome guest. (Perhaps because they sometimes pass baking sheets of cookies around?) All this, and they get you out in time for your curtain, no matter how slim a margin you've given them. A joyous place.
Very convenient for dining after Lincoln center performance. Food is good but not out of the ordinary of what one would expect. The restaurant space is small and the tables are crowded. Good experience overall.
Just for its location alone, just across the street from Lincoln Center, perfect for opera goers, Cafe Fiorello is very handy....that it also a delightful spot, with great ambiance, nice wooden panneling, faaux tin drop ceiling that still looks wonderfully period NYC, with an energetic and smiling, funny waitstaff, etc...not to mention that the food, Italian anitipasti to die for visible in heaped display cases, with a fulll Italian support menu and nice wine list is a cherry on top.....book early if you are going to the the... read more
Food was delicious, and our waitress was a gem. She added to the overall enjoyment of our evening with here excellent service and pleasant personality.
Usually, Cafe Fiorello gets you in and out speedily so you can catch a show across the street at Lincoln Center. My most recent experience was surprisingly slow. We made our curtain, but we worried about doing so. Still, the restaurant is among the top options in the immediate Lincoln Center area, and I wouldn't hesitate to return.
Great menu and ambiance. Unfortunately our waiter was inattentive and almost cavalier... Even so, I would go back...
