    Table was ready as reserved but the restaurant, pre-Lincoln Center, was packed. Tables are close together. Ours was in the middle of an aisle and waitstaff and customers passed by regularly. Noise level is quite high so, while the restaurant was doing a high volume of business (good for them), it made for an unpleasant dining experience for us. Too close -- too much noise -- too much movement. My chicken parmesean was the worst I have ever had. I believe it had been pounded too thin, breaded, sauteed, and then perhaps reheated so that it was rock hard. Even with a sharp knife, which was requested and provided, it was hard to cut. Spaghetti sauce had an odd flavor - not the best. $50 for hard chicken parm and a side of spaghetti in a noisy and crowded room will keep me from returning. BTW - restaurant photos need to be updated. Tables are polished stone and there are no tablecloths! Perhaps a different entree and sitting out-of-doors would be better. This restaurant has been here for decades, and I remember it from 35 years ago as being much better and much more pleasant. Oh well.

    Being a Vegetarian, there are few options to explore and I came across this amazing place - Cafe Fiorello. Even though the options were limited, the food was simply scrumptious. Had two items for lunch - Quinoa Salad and Four Seasons Thin Crust Pizza followed by Chocolate Gelato which was heavenly. Ambience was very subtle and pleasing. They have a brief space for outdoor sitting which I am sure would enhance the beauty during summer. 5 STARS to this place :) :) :) :) :)

    The restaurant was EXTREMELY hot to the point where our entire group got nauseated from the heat. It was an unbearable experience and they would not accommodate turning down the temperature. Even other tables were miserable.

    Great food and wonderful service. Asked for quieter and more secluded table for a business lunch and they accommodated us immediately

    I used to eat here a lot many years ago. It is just as good or better today as it was when I was younger. I will definitely come again
