Fiorello's is so convenient to Lincoln Center and it is consistently good--Excellent and interesting salad/antipasto choices, pricey but worth the money and good service. Always busy so it's a good idea to have a reservation. We keep returning, usually for dinner but this time for lunch. My husband enjoyed the Eggs Benedict -- entrees included a drink. I had the...

We arrived early (taxi didn't take as long as we were told). They seated us promptly and told us we didn't have to hurry. Had a great dinner, service was good and a pleasant atmospher. Right across the street from The Lincoln Center. More

I have visited this restaurant a number of times over the last decade,  and the service has always been exceptional. The host recognized me as a return visitor even a year later on my second visit. On my last visit they brought out a baking tin with fresh cookies and went from table to table to have guests picks few.... More

we just LOVE Cafe Fiorello. Great outdoor seating with a view of Lincoln Center and the sunset. Although it is a bit pricey. But if you order carefully it is more than worth it and they have free home made chocolate with dessert. The pizza is the best think crust pizza around and is big enough for two. More

I agree with others that the think crust and tomato sauce is tasty....but $30 for just that--flour, water, and tomato sauce. Please, I'm a little more enlightened than that! I ordered the Pizza Margherita and if there was one ounce of cheese on that $30 Pizza then I think it was generous. There were actually 4 little dots of mozzerella... More

Repeat after me: " I will have the meatball pizza." No, don't look at the menu. It was that good. Sauce perfectly seasoned. Meatballs flavorful but not over powering. Fresh mozzarella and a wood fired crust that is nicely charged and exactly the right crispy thinness. The small looks like enough for two people until you have your first taste... More

We loved the cafe, went there twice in one weekend. Had dinner special and returned for the pizza for lunch after seeing it on other tables. They have excellent dark chocolate at check in, so when you leave you think even sweeter thoughts about the place. More

Perfect New York day, weather is just right, dine Cafe Fiorello al fresco. We had a great table outside. Every bit was delicious. Don't skip desert. I'd go back. It's expensive but the value is there. Fine dining, atmosphere, good service. Plan to take your time. More

The food was solid and the staff was very nice but was also very overpriced simply because of where it is. To be sure, the place is cozy cool - very old school style Italian with tiny tables. The antipasti bar was nice, you could pick your items straight off it. We opted for a couple of antipasti - the... More
