Cafe Fiorello @ Lincoln Center

[mrabinow]

As far as I know this place has never been rated... what do you guys think of it?

Had lunch there once pre-ballet across the street at Lincoln Center. Just ok; more for the convenience than the cuisine. I think the best thing was the antipasto selection.

I've been there a few times. Satisfactory, but undistinguished Italian. As the other post noted, its proximity to Lincoln Center is the primary attraction.

I've been there three times -- the menu seemed pretty inconsistent to me; some stuff was totally decent (some of the antipasti and a lasagna-type pasta I had once), and some was much more forgetable/regretable (a pizza, for one). It's definitely convenient; not only is it close to Lincoln Center, but they can get you in and out pretty quickly.

We go there with the same view as going to Trattoria dell'Arte, across the street from Carnegie Hall: sit at the antipasto bar, chat with the antipasto barista, eat some not-great-but-not-terrible-and-not-too-too-overpriced food, drink some wine, skip dessert, and go enjoy the concert. We never order off the menu; that's not very good food at all. But the antipasto bar is fine, especially if you love vegetables. Actually, their seafood salads can be quite good, at least several cuts above your basic salad bar.

Don't go at all unless your salt tolerance is very high.

You think so? We haven't found that with the antipasti.
