    Love this place! They were flexible with our reservation. Welcoming and comfortable. The food is uniformly fresh and delicious. The special shrimp and lobster risotto was incredible. The rigatoni al la vodka was spectacular. Top notch service. Amazing location. Can’t wait to return!

    Cafe Fiorello is always a great go-to before and/or after a Lincoln Center performance. The antipasto bar is always fun, and the food is solid. The chicken pepperoni parmigiana is a particular standout, not unlike a pepperoni pizza with a crust consisting of chicken Milanese instead of dough, and certainly large enough for 2 people to share as an entree, especially if you add the optional side of spaghetti. Our only disappointment was the service—not its speed or efficiency, which were fine, but the attitude of our waiter, who often seemed impatient and condescending. When I tried to order a particular glass of wine, he said, "Oh, you wouldn't like that one. It's not what you'll expect." He then tried to lecture us about the difference between French and Italian wines. I am far from a wine connoisseur, but I do know my basics! I am a native New Yorker and am used to brusque waiters, but this went a little too far. Nevertheless, we had a good meal and a good time, and we would not hesitate to return to Cafe Fiorello again.

    Great food, especially thin crust pizza, on a busy holiday evening. Booths in the back room are great. Difficult noise and chair crowding in the other sections.

    It’s such a comfortable spot for a meal before a performance across the street at Lincoln Center. The food, ambiance and service have never disappointed me (us). We are beginning to feel like regulars sitting at our requested table each time. Dining there is another type of performance to enjoy. A class act! It has been around for a while judging from the discolored ceiling tiles.

    Cafe Fiorello continues to offer a great and diverse menu. Even though prices have crept up, the quality of the food and the service has never varied. If you're in the neighborhood or headed to Lincoln Center, put Fiorello on your list.
