Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Cafe Fiorello offers a quintessential New York dining experience with its "delicious Italian cuisine," exceptional service, and lively atmosphere. Perfectly located across from Lincoln Center, it's ideal for pre-theater meals. Standouts include the antipasto bar, veal chop, and "thin crust pizza." Consistent quality makes it a beloved choice.

    My first time. We really enjoyed it and the atmosphere and food was great. A tad loud. I would definitely go back. Feels like an institution.

    Always warm and welcoming with exceptional service. The “new” lasagne dish is beautifully presented, delicious and, with such generous portions, we’re enjoying it again today!

    The lasanga was absolutely spectacular and the meatballs are so soft and full of flavor. Great spot that is open late after leaving the ballet!

    My veal chop was excellent. The Italian wedding soup was abundant and delicious. The Tartufo for dessert was divine,

    The food is passable, not consistent and somewhat overpriced for the quality. We have been patrons for years because of its location(not many choices near Lincoln Center). Our visit yesterday was a disappointment- he bathrooms needed attention, the management showed a “who cares” attitude. The wait staff appeared disgruntled. There was tomato sauce in my seat that had not been wiped and my dress got stained. The veal at $40 was tough and tasteless. Very disappointing experience.

    The server was a bit surly, surprisingly, from the time we asked for a second plate for the salad we were sharing through the end of the meal. The food was fine - served a little too quickly, one course right on the heels of the last, even though the restaurant wasn't crowded at all at the time we were there and people weren't waiting to sit down.
