We had a 6:45pm rez but got to the venue early. The maitre d’ was kind enough to find a table for us 30 minutes early. Small table but fine for 2. My friend had excellent ravioli and I had penne-shrimp diavola. That could have been a bit spicier for my tastes. All in all, a very nice dining experience.

My birthday celebration at Cafe Fiorello was, as always, delightful. The four of us were lucky enough to get a table on the little balcony, which was more isolated and quiet. Our server, Valentino, could not have been better.. My only quibble was that they sang Happy Birthday to me, which I had asked they not do. But if that's the worst thing about the evening, it's fine. I am a regular at Fiorello, living in the neighborhood. It's always worth a visit.

Perfect post-opera; the antipasto bar is excellent; pizza with a crisp crust was also top notch. The fish dishes were solid — fresh and excellent, but not soaring (that pizza soared!). Tartufo as the finish — ample. We were in a booth at the back — surprisingly low sound level for such a a space that was just packed with diners.

Was a special occasion. My 91 yr old mom was seeing her 79 yr old sister for the first time since pandemic. We were right on time for our 1:30 rsvr and they took us in at once. A great booth (which they loved) away from the main dining area. Made their day to be able to chat service was splendid and food delish! Thanks!

This is a regular for my friends and I. Excellent food. Convenient if you’re seeing an opera across the street at Lincoln Center. We’ve been coming to Fiorello’s for years. It’s a tradition. Great memories have been created here. The food and service is usually great. Sometimes very good. Great antipasto bar if you are a person of one. You can still enjoy the great selection at a table or booth with friends.

We have been going to Cafe Fiorello for many years. I was very disappointed to see that now bread is a $10.00 item on the menu rather than a complimentary part of your dinner. We spent $145.00 for dinner for two not including tax...I think that warrants a free loaf of bread.

Still solid. Returned to Cafe Fiorello first time since 2020. Pleased to find delicious food and friendly service. It was 4:30 on a Sat and the place was packed with both Lincoln Center patrons and neighborhood regulars. Make sure you make reservations. We had reservations and placed in the bar area. Even the bar area was full and lively. We shared some light bites. Everything tasted delicious and above average. Ended with the chocolate mousse and whipped cream, one portion enough for 4 lol
