    Classic destination post Opera. The captain was kind enough to give me a booth. We had a delicious Caesar salad, a Margherita pizza, and a huge chicken parm. We stuck to cocktails but I would have ordered wine if it were earlier. The ambience was festive, as many diners came from opening night at the Met. All in all my go-to place for years following an event at Lincoln Center. (I know people dine earlier these days, but I appreciate that the Cafe stays open to accommodate the post Opera crowd--although some operas are so long that they eventually have to close.)

    Cafe Fiorello was UNREAL. Amazing, delicious, the shortrib meatballs had us both shaking in our boots. We both enjoyed our pasta dishes, I would say it was the best vodka sauce I'd ever had. I might skip the gorgonzola bread next time, but as far as blue cheeses go, it was nice! The marilena salad was incredible, one of the best salads I've ever had, and plenty big enough to share. The tiramisu was absolutely divine, and at the end of our meal a very nice man came around with fresh baked chocolate chip cookies for diners to enjoy. Overall my favorite meal I've ever had.

    Appetisers were good - we shared calamari. Mains were OK. I had Chicken Parmigiana and when it arrived I thought it was a pizza and therefore a mistake but no it was a flattened chicken board - very dry - with tomato and mozzarella topping - huge. My partner had penne and it was rather nice. Portions are huge so beware Waiter was lovely and service very good. We liked the atmosphere.

    I have been coming here for 20 years. It is our favorite restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious. I was a bit disappointed they did a way with the experience of the bucket mousse, but still amazing. The ambiance, service was fantastic and the antipasti bar is the best one outside of Italy!
