This place is so cute. Overlooks Lincoln Center, get a seat outside. Weekday lunch special $27.50 for an app & entree. Caprese salad, spinach pesto pappardelle, and lump crab cake 👌

Salmon Eggs Benedict had whole slices of salmon, perfect hollandaise. Applewood bacon served 6 slices, perfectly cooked. Quiet Tuesday morning, lovely music, attentive service. A favorite!

Antipasto selection large but get the eggplant caponata as 1 of 3 for $22 or $10 each. House made bread basket included great focaccia. Poached 1lb lobster salad with farro $38. Thin crust pizza.

Across from lincoln center, eat at the bar before a show. Order a pizza & build a plate from all the fresh veggies they have on display. Asparagus & fava beans are delicious. Service is excellent.

The lasagna is served open-face and is delicious.

Amazing thin crust pizzas - the meat supreme is out of this world. And the antipasto bar is full of amazing dishes: shrimp and scallop salad, lentil salad, burrata, roasted fennel. It's all amazing!

Sit at the bar for the best experience at Cafe Fiorello. We havrnt had a bad bartender. Thy are great and the food is amazing. Try the 3 seafood plate. They plate it right at the bar.

This 'open faced' lasagne is everything other 4sq tippers have said. It's a must! You'll be disappointed if you don't order this. Incredible! If only it can vegetarian too....

Avocado toast with poached egg comes with salad and fries. Delicious food, excellent prices and awesome service.
Andrea HongFebruary 24, 2013
First, make an opentable res bc this place is a Lincoln Center zoo. Then, get poured champagne upon arrival, fed passed freshly baked cookies, and stuffed on thin crust pizza (prosciutto + arugula!).

The lasagne was very special - totally different to any I’ve seen before! Good range of salads too. Craft IPA on tap was good too.
Kevin StappDecember 26, 2018
Artichoke starter and Truffle Ravioli were delicious. Chocolate Mousse and whipped cream served out the bucket at our table was truly decadent!
Lee HoffmanOctober 14, 2021
Incredible chicken pepperoni parm and the BEST chocolate mousse and whip cream I’ve ever had

Lasagnia is an introduction to Heaven of Italian cuisine. Go for Valppolichella Ripasso. To make your day Italian way.
Mark BOctober 14, 2018
Delicious food, attentive wait staff & reasonably priced. Go when the weather is warm to take advantage of outside seating!
Marie La RueSeptember 15, 2018
Extensive Italian menu for the whole family. Good stop for dinner pre or post theatre. Antipasti bar with many vegetarian options.

Excellent food. I had the seafood risotto it was great!!! My wife had the Rigatoni w/Vodka sauce she loved it.

Naked ravioli. This gluten-free, low-carb dish by executive chef Brando d’Oliveira is his version of gnudi, or ricotta dumplings. Read more

Once you step inside you’ll be treated like an A-Lister – the service is that good. Then just try and finish the Double Pepperoni & Baby Arugula Thin Crust Pizza.
Teresa Weaver MilnerAugust 14, 2013
The lemon torte is good. The bread is fantastic. It's neat that they walk thru the restaurant offering random fresh baked muffins and cookies.

Just because it is full of people at the door does not mean you will not get seated quickly. Work your way to the host stand and give them your name. You will be surprised how fast you get seated!
Daniel SilvermanAugust 25, 2013
Honestly incredible. Service ON POINT. Food fresh, creative and succulent. Highly. I would highly Recommend Fiorellio to nearly everyone.
Serious EatsFebruary 1, 2012
from a pizza-hunter's perspective, we think what Fiorello is good for is eating some good, very thin crust pies on a nice day outside before a show. Read more

Great post movie dinner. Quiet table in back. Polenta was delicious. Eggplant parm larg or small.
MëlänïMarch 18, 2017
The spaghetti carbonara was on point. The guys at he second bar finished us off with a little limoncello.
Adam ClewleyAugust 29, 2015
Only here for drinks. Best Aperol Spritz I've had in NYC. Food all looked delicious.
Liza DavydovaApril 28, 2016
The calamari is amazing! The Italian wedding soup is a must have!
Kira Garvin LermanJuly 17, 2014
Vegan friendly seitan options! Definitely try the fried artichokes when they are in season.
SaraMarch 23, 2013
Try to get a booth; not as cramped. Make sure to save room for dessert. The meringue cake is to die for.
Adam NowickiSeptember 30, 2013
Great service grilled veggies are just phenomenal not my first time and will be back for sure !
💎TFebruary 23, 2015
Came here with my dad and we shared a margherita pizza and an arugula salad. Just amazing !
Emil HAugust 31, 2019
You’ve never had lasagna like this. Don’t miss out.
João de Lorenzo NetoJanuary 3, 2014
The lasagna is incredible served in a different format from what we are used to. It's too big though and now they charge a sharing fee which is bullshit in my opinion.
Meredith PharisNovember 24, 2013
This place was fabulous and all we had was antipasti! Will be back for more.
Lee HoffmanJune 2, 2013
The chicken pepperoni Parmesan is delicious and huge. Past not included tho.
Szoke SteveJune 2, 2013
Very cool place! Sit at the bar, the tenders will entertain. ... sit outside, the people will entertain.
Samantha ManganaroJune 7, 2013
Really delicious! And they had a vegan soup! The caramelized fennel was amazing.
Emilie SchwenkJuly 31, 2011
We had water spilled on my bag and phone without so much as an appology. The service is usually great, but today is was very very off. Great profiteroles
Drew TabuAugust 28, 2010
Best lasagna anywhere. We like to get a selection of antipasti (including the fried artichoke for sure!) and then share the lasagna between two (even three).
Jeff SolomonJanuary 29, 2019
Try the pizza with pepperoni, arugula, and burrata cheese
William NelliganAugust 10, 2014
These guys pass around a lot of good (free) snacks on the weekend.
Amy MixaAugust 20, 2018
The lasagna is amazing and big enough to share!
Teresa Weaver MilnerAugust 14, 2013
Stanley Tucci was dining when we were there. He's quite the Italian chef, so that says a lot about this restaurant.

Best Italian restaurant in town. And the service, superb.!
DougJanuary 23, 2011
Favorite place to eat is the far end of the bar where you have a great view of the staff and patrons while eating spectacular food.
Christopher FredaJanuary 15, 2020
The lasagna and veal chop parmigiana are incredible!
Michel BiquardSeptember 4, 2018
