- Sharon TsaoFebruary 13, 2017Love the portion! The food was good and was good quality, everything I had (salmon crudo and egg pasta) were just on the saltier side for meUpvoted Aug 23
- Village VoiceApril 3, 2015All the small touches, from the amuse and bread service to the caramels before the check, appear even if you're only popping in for a negroni and bowl of agnolotti. Read moreUpvoted Aug 14
- Cat JNovember 24, 2013Impeccable service. Get the lobster pasta, tiramisu and the formaggi platter. Sister loved the prosecco options as well. Pricey but worth the splurge before a show, or for a special occasion
- Sandy PaoFebruary 18, 2014Attentive service, killer prosecco and negroni bar, and delicious plates of veal tortellini in brodo and duck confit!! Other plates also highlight the Emilia-Romagna region beautifully.
- Erica ChoiSeptember 14, 2014Pastas and cocktails! Can't go wrong. Lovely area outside for people watching or inside for the open kitchen.
- Cameron GidariApril 29, 2016One of the best meals I've had in NYC. Best barrel-aged Negroni I've ever tasted. The Fusilli Calabrese is the perfect balance of smokey and spicy.
- Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014A gorgeous view is best complemented with excellent food. Don't skip dessert, as the Fruit Crostata is delicious.
- Shermans TravelAugust 15, 2012The menu changes daily, but retains a focus on high-end, contemporary Italian cuisine like cod and tortellini served in a prosciutto broth, and lasagna made with a veal, beef, and pork ragu. Read more
- Kay TeoMarch 9, 2015Out of the bread basket, get the focaccia and grissini. Forget the sesame bread- not very memorable. Focaccia had the right amount of olive oil and amazing freshly ground black pepper.
- Alex HennesseyAugust 10, 2015Great negronis. I didn't know there could be so much negroni variability-- let the bartender guide you based on your tastes
- The Corcoran GroupMarch 12, 2012Perfect spot to dine before a performance at the Met – try the Ricotta Dumplings or the Shrimp Scampi. Or just enjoy a glass or two from their extensive wine list.
- Matt GierhartFebruary 7, 2015Great food that I would put at two Michelin stars. The portion sizes are a little bigger than what would expect from fine dining so be careful with the four course menu.
- Erica ChoiNovember 7, 2013Spectacular scallop and lobster pasta. Prosecco choices are fab - love the peach and passion fruit purée. Excellent service as well!
- jackie perez castroMay 15, 2013Delicious food!!!. Try the Halibut or the duck. The desserts are to die for. Leave more than 20% tip, really great service.
- Kyu YangMarch 9, 2014The bartenders seem to be mixologists. I asked the waiter to make me a spicy tequila drink (not on the cocktail menu) and they delivered in spades. It was a basil / jalapeño / hint of pineapple drink.
- The Culinary Institute of AmericaDecember 28, 2012CIA Alumnus Jonathan Benno is the executive chef here. Chef Benno was the first American-born and trained chef to earn three stars from Michelin! Read more about him here: Read more
- CompassApril 21, 2014Rustic Italian dishes like squid-ink and rabbit & sweetbread terrine pasta are popular choices at Jonathan Brenno’s first restaurant.
- Michelin Travel & LifestyleDecember 2, 2013Ask about the Italian region highlighted monthly. House-made pastas stand out, as does rustic porchetta & polenta. – Green Guide Editor
- Aashima RattiJuly 3, 2018Incredible Italian with Negroni bar. Seasonal menu is always fresh and inventive.
- The chicken arrosto is out of this world amazing and definitely go for the torta ricotta cheese cake for desset with pumpkin 4 different ways its perfect for fall!
- Kay TeoMarch 9, 2015Had the pasta duo to start. The saffron seafood pasta was too strong on the Meyer lemon. Couldn't taste the seafood. The buckwheat pasta was good however
- Kay TeoMarch 9, 2015The Branzino with salsify and oyster mushroom was well done. The butternut and vin santo sauce went well. However the beef dish isn't very memorable.
- Serious EatsNovember 13, 2013While Jonathan Benno's Lincoln is quite a formal place for a meal, their bar is a bit more laid-back.
- eric bornemannOctober 31, 2020Decent Italian for pre-theater dining. Food doesn’t quite live up to the architecture, but it’s good as are the cocktails.
- Joe DJuly 13, 2014If the Broccoli Rabe Orecchiette dish is still on the Primi menu then order it. Delicious.
- Jordan KongFebruary 22, 2013Classy negroni bar, with plenty of fragrant options for even those who dislike bitters.
- Scar3crow (Ian Matheson)August 23, 2013Jeffrey's White Negroni: Blue Coat American Gin, Breckenridge, Massican Bianco. Slightly alpine and delicious!
- suneelDecember 21, 2013Apple cider donuts = one of the best desserts of all time. stunning views of Lincoln center.
- Stacy FullerNovember 3, 2014Best meal I've had all year. Get the shaved truffles, you won't be sorry.
- Alex HayworthJune 19, 2017Pricey but great if you want to splurge on lunch, or go during restaurant week.
- Alice LeungJune 24, 2012Very unobtrusive service. Sommelier sounded just like Patrick Bateman! Loved it! Great asparagus appetizer.
- Lauren ZusyOctober 5, 2010Amazing lunch! Make sure to view the open kitchen and order the pasta with squash and pesto-you will not regret! Don't pass on dessert
- Zane DollaMay 1, 2017Nice, Elegant n classy but the experience could b better n my waiter assumed I wanted my food well done ( bc I look young) disrespectful -- been 5+ times when opened but probably wouldn't go again
- Selim Tomur SaribeyogluAugust 11, 2012Loved the design and architecture inside and out of this restaurant but unfortunately not a big fan of their food. The effort is there you can see it but the taste isn't.
- MariannaApril 18, 2012Wow is all you will say when you eat the halibut with mint zabaglione. Elegant and absolutely delish.
- Eunice MaJuly 16, 2013Try any of the pasta and lamp chop, they can never go wrong at Lincoln restaurant.
- Angela IsabelAugust 17, 2014Excellent service and ambiance. Delicious appetizers but tasteless entrees.
- 67 Wine & SpiritsAugust 18, 2011If a Negroni is what you crave, look no further. Lincoln has a Negroni bar and one of the best in the city. Period.
- Deborah MetzDecember 24, 2011Lovely atmosphere! Food is rich and very fresh. Very pleasant. everyone is very friendly!
- Ana ConcejeroMarch 29, 2012Best high-end Italian food so far in NYC. Great brunch menu during restaurant week!
