    Dined at Fiorello's before a show recently, and it was a mixed experience. The food was good, but the portions were much bigger than I expected, even for a somewhat casual restaurant, and the plates, cups, and cutlery barely fit on our small table for two. It was also much livelier than we were expecting--which is fine--but very overcrowded as the result. It was a tight squeeze walking around, and since I was seated in a corner, I was jostled by waiters and other guests leaving their seats multiple times. Overall, the experience was okay. Since the food was good, I would consider going back, but it wouldn't be my first choice.

    We were going to the opera with my mom and dad, who have not been to the city in a long time. We were seated promptly at a section reserved for a Mimi and Placido Domingo. Our kids refer to my mom as Mimi, and all of the seats at Cafe Fiorello have some kind of celebrity connection, so ask for a favorite if you have one. This was a good start! Our server was exceptional from the start to finish, and everyone was very satisfied with all food items, which ranged from some amazing french toast to my avocado toast with smoke salmon added. This is simply a NYC classic, and you can't beat the 1 minute walk to Lincoln Center to make transportation as friendly as possible. Thank you Cafe Fiorello for adding to an amazing day in the city!
