My second visit of Cafe Fiorello. Still, it was as good or even better than my last meal here.Their innovative open lasagne, featuring meatballs, ribs, and burrata cheese, was an absolute delight. The tomato sauce added a refreshing lightness to the dish, making it less dense and incredibly flavorful. The portion sizes were impressively generous, perfect for sharing with a group of friends. As for brunch, their French toast was a guilty pleasure like no other. The chocolate toast adorned with roasted walnuts, raisins, and fresh strawberries left me feeling completely satisfied. I can’t wait to revisit Cafe Fiorello whenever I’m in the vicinity of the Lincoln Center. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a delicious and fulfilling dining experience!

The vegetarian antipasto tasted pretty good, but we didn’t feel well after and were concerned about its freshness. The chicken parm was so thin it seemed entirely devoid of chicken and the pasta mediocre. We asked for the pasta to be al denté but it was mush. The cannoli with pistachio cream was decent. The place was packed with happy people though, and the location for Lincoln Center can’t be beat.

We popped in on a recommendation of a friend. SUCH a win! Every staff member we encountered was cheerful, so happy to greet or serve us.Our darling waitstaff, Amanda, was undaunted by our many questions and enthusiastically recommended several things. She was spot on with each one.The portions were beyond our ability to finish. Pity. Desserts looked intriguing.My husband chose breaded chicken piccata…and still took nearly half in a carry out. My three veg choices from the antipasto bar were each standouts in their own right, marvelously conceived and perfectly cooked. I could not choose a favorite.What a great time. I will take this experience as a great New York meal.

It's always a treat to have dinner at Cafe Fiorello whenever we visit NYC. My favorite Italian restaurant. The food is delicious, and the drinks are awesome. Top-notch service. Right near Lincoln Center. Convenient online option to make reservations. It gets quite loud in there during peak time, which proves it's a popular place. Highly recommend ?.

Don't be afraid of the pricing. The portions were huge and the food was even better. Great service and a very comforting atmosphere. Must go!

Cafe Fiorello hits the spot for a classic Italian meal in Lincoln Square. Their antipasto bar is fantastic, offering a delicious spread of cured meats, cheeses, and marinated vegetables. We enjoyed exploring the variety before diving into our entrees. The menu covers all the Italian staples, and the service is friendly and attentive. The atmosphere leans a little old-school, but that's part of the charm. Overall, it's a 4-star choice for a reliable Italian experience, especially if you're looking for a great antipasto selection.

Food 7/10Typical American fare. Solid burrata and prosciutto, the tiramisu was actual quite gas and that surprised me in a good way. The rigatoni alla vodka was very standard, and the antipasto were fine too. Nothing too standout but nothing was made poorly.Atmosphere 6/10Kind of tacky Valentine's decor and whatnot, but the location is great and easy if you’re headed to Lincoln Center.Service 6/10A little slow.

I rate this as a 4.4- can't give half scores,unfortunately. Insanely huge portions and large menu with something for everyone! Everything we had was tasty. Chicken dishes are a giant thinly pounded breaded cutlet smothered in sauce. Easily 12” round and enough for two, or leftovers! Husband had lasagna and it was a unique take on a classic dish. We all left full and happy. Nice ambiance and we were able to carry a conversation at a normal level in our side booth. Nyc prices and I'd gladly pay a bit less for a smaller, more manageable portion. We'll be back to explore different dishes.
I have an onion allergy, which is also called an alium allergy (onions, garlic, shallots etc). They delivered my order and it was made with onions. They couldn't make it without them so I ordered something else which they delivered to me also with tons of carmelized onions inside and before I realized that I took a bite. Simultaneous with my realizing I just swallowed a mouthful of onions, the waitress grabbed the plate off my table and said I'm so sorry the kitchen did not understand what an allium allergy is. I appreciate her attempt to help me but the kitchen should be ashamed of themselves. And no one offered me the comp the food. The third try was better I've been sick all day. Won't return.
