A great location - I tickets for concerts at Lincoln Center. The service is good -food good, lots of it. But, the noise level is out of control - at 7:30 pm I think it gets quieter as the evening progresses.

Disappointing. Okay it was Friday night before a ballet and opera at Lincoln Center so was packed so maybe there was a good reason for our server being MIA most of the dinner. However she sang the praises of the expensive soft shell crab Dish that was a special. I ordered it but 1 crab was good but the other inedible. Server then admitted she hadn’t tried it but would relate my comment to the chef. I did not eat that crab which was half the dinner. Nothing offered in return. No apology. Staff seemed overwhelmed. Probably pasta on a regular night would be fine but I won’t go back.

I like to come here pretty regularly when I attend a performance at Lincoln Center because I like the antipasto bar. I like all the vegetarian options. And my negroni cocktail was spot on. I enjoyed my recent visit, dining outdoors. Pre-Covid, I actually preferred sitting indoors at the antipasto bar. Inevitably I would strike up a great conversation with a neighboring diner. Such fun. Hope to do that more again in the future.

For years we have been going to Café Fiorello before the opera. However our brunch last Saturday was a real disappointment. At 11 am we were told that regular items could not be ordered until noon, however at 11:20 we saw several tables getting them delivered. I ordered a broccolini and cheese omelet. When I bit into it all I could taste was onions. Called our waiter and said that the menu did not say it had onions in it (which I do not like and wouldn't have ordered). He asked me if I was allergic to onions. I replied "no, but I don't like them". He then shrugged and walked off. After that he seemed to be occupied making drinks behind the bar. My husband actually had to go up to the bar to order his coffee and my glass of wine, like we were in a pub! Overall service and food very disappointing and will not return.

Of the four entrees two were only passable. Entrees came out very quickly and I felt they had been partially prepared before. The veal Milanese was deep fried and hard to cut and eat with a skimpy amount of tomatoes. The bolognese was not terribly flavorful. Very poor attention to the quality.

The service was so bad it took away from the fact that the food was interesting and quite delicious. It took a long time for us to be greeted by the waiter. Never came back to check on us. We had to call him to the table every time we needed something. We did have two delicious meals: 1. Tuna with a balsamic glaze 2. An assortment from the veg appetizer bar: The butternut squash was wonderful, the broccoli rabe quite good..the cauliflower Milanese was a disappointment. Clever that they sell glasses of wine in two sizes. We opted for the 1.5 size. Just enough for a pre-opera dinner. I would not return due to the poor service and can't recommend it,. small aside: the ladies room was dirty and messy.
