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.

Such great place, fantastic food and amazing service. And not as expensive like other Italian restaurants which are 50% as good as cafe fiorello 🙌🏼

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!

The lasagna is served open-face and is delicious.

Incredible chicken pepperoni parm and the BEST chocolate mousse and whip cream I’ve ever had
Vee BeeFebruary 12, 2013
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....
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!).
Parin LadOctober 29, 2018
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.
Mark BOctober 14, 2018
Delicious food, attentive wait staff & reasonably priced. Go when the weather is warm to take advantage of outside seating!
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!
William CJuly 10, 2019
Excellent food. I had the seafood risotto it was great!!! My wife had the Rigatoni w/Vodka sauce she loved it.
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.

Naked ravioli. This gluten-free, low-carb dish by executive chef Brando d’Oliveira is his version of gnudi, or ricotta dumplings. Read more
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.
Daniel SilvermanAugust 25, 2013
Honestly incredible. Service ON POINT. Food fresh, creative and succulent. Highly. I would highly Recommend Fiorellio to nearly everyone.
The Corcoran GroupNovember 1, 2011
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.

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!
Sergey ShashkinDecember 16, 2014
Lasagnia is an introduction to Heaven of Italian cuisine. Go for Valppolichella Ripasso. To make your day Italian way.

The pizza is excellent and love sitting at the bar chatting w the friendly bartenders
💎TFebruary 23, 2015
Came here with my dad and we shared a margherita pizza and an arugula salad. Just amazing !
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

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.

You’ve never had lasagna like this. Don’t miss out.
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).
Szoke SteveJune 2, 2013
Very cool place! Sit at the bar, the tenders will entertain. ... sit outside, the people will entertain.
Lee HoffmanJune 2, 2013
The chicken pepperoni Parmesan is delicious and huge. Past not included tho.
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.
Meredith PharisNovember 24, 2013
This place was fabulous and all we had was antipasti! Will be back for more.
