As Always a trip to the CIA is wonderful and the Students are open and invite you to learn about their education. The Food is BEYOND !! For Students perhaps 4 stars on service is being tough... but the minor mistakes they made they will not ever make again. and it is part of the fun... they are Beyond my Expectations every tome!

We enjoyed our meal at Caterina de Medici. We shared all the various dishes that we ordered and the best were the potato croquettes and the chicken with pasta shells. We also ordered an octopus dish and the puzza of the day. The crust on the pizza was superb. Dessert was a deconstructed cheesecake and an affogato. The service was good and we learned that this team was just in their 2nd week of being in a restaurant situation. The wait staff and the kitchen staff will switch midway through their 15 week stay at this restaurant.

We enjoy being waited on by students--so eager to please. But the food was very disappointing. The duck breast was VERY TOUGH and salty and the soup was also very salty. We told someone who seemed to be a manager and he said he would discuss it with the chef; we never saw or heard from him again. We have had much better meals at American Bounty and Bocuse.

The food was delicious and there was enough variety in menu to satisfy everyone in the group. Head waiter was knowledgeable. Service was a bit disjointed but it is important to remember that these are students learning the front of the house business. The cocktail service was fun as a specialty drink was prepared in front of us (not all of them though). Timing of the dinner was a bit off. Second round of drinks ordered was ultimately cancelled due to lengthy delay. Desserts were also served quite a bit later than the coffee. Since the food was the star of the night we would definitely return for another dinner. This Catherina de Medici room is decorated with great attention to detail and served as a lovely backdrop to the menu.
