Worst food I ever ate, waste of money. Any salad bar serves better food..The oil that was used for some parts of my dish was old and smelled bad...Poor presentation, overrated. I would be ashamed to serve this to my friends or anyone

Late lunch on a weekday, we were greeted warmly and taken to a table in a corner section, where all other tables were occupied and clustered close together, even though the restaurant was only around 40% full.
It soon became clear that that was the section for the non-important people, as I saw the maitre’d circle the other tables to chat (who all had plenty of room between them) but he notably avoided our section.
We’d been sat down for about 15 seconds when the first waiter rushed over to take our drinks order. We had barely opened the menu, so I asked him to come back. He did, approximately one minute later, when my dining companion was in the bathroom. Luckily I could order for both of us. My companion had just arrived back and was lowering himself into the chair when another waiter ran over and asked what we wanted to order. Again, we had to ask for more time.
This behaviour by the wait staff continued; they hovered near the table, anxious to snatch up plates and glasses and rush us through the meal as quickly as possible. A waiter would regularly come by and grab our bottled water to top up (already) full glasses and at one point, sloshed water all over the glass and table.
We had intended to order wine but didn’t bother, as it was now obvious we couldn’t enjoy it in peace. I felt tense throughout the meal, aware we were being watched constantly, unsubtly pressured to hurry up and leave.

If only that was the worst of it, but I haven’t even talked about the food yet. Put simply; the food is an abomination.

We started with the burrata and the beef carpaccio. The burrata was cold, solid as a rock and tasted sour. Digging into it, it crumbled into grey-ish lumps, like it was defrosting after several years the freezer.
The carpaccio was thickly sliced, unnaturally bright red and almost welded to the plate.
Both had clearly just been retrieved from a cold fridge, as the plates were cold too. The carpaccio was making me feel ill, so we left most of both. We were not asked at any point how it was, I strongly suspect they know how genuinely disgusting it is.

My main course was better - but you can’t go too far wrong with a plate of ravioli swimming in butter. My companion had the baked eggplant that looked tasty on the outside, but on the inside was slushy, tasteless and radioactively hot - clearly it had been blitzed in the microwave.

We had two bread baskets - the warm, crunchy slices of bread were delicious with the cold butter. Even the breadsticks were enjoyable, although they were visibly reluctant to bring us the second basket and took their time.

We were done and out of there in just under an hour - a huge, massive, expensive disappointment. Given the prices plus tax & service, the final bill wasn’t too far off what you’d pay for a cheap return flight to Rome. So save your money and go find the real deal instead.

Having been to other Cipriani properties I was expecting an exceptional experience. Sadly, I left a little underwhelming. The food was very good but in small portions. The bread basket was not up to standards. In addition, the waiter felt rushed and inattentive during our entire meal. We went on a weekday and they were not overcrowded so I was surprised by the service. My hope is they were just having a bad night.

I had been wanting to dine here for years, and finally did, but boy was I disappointed. First of all, the atmosphere is so dated and I felt like I was on a cruise ship in the 1980s. Our waitstaff and servers were lovely, however, a different person came to our table every single time, so it was a bit confusing. I think it's so strange that they prepare every dish table side. Some tables who ordered pasta received the entire portion, but for some reason they did not give us the entire plate that they mixed together next to the table. Obviously I knew that the menu would be pricy, but I did not expect for the portions to be so small, under seasoned, and underwhelming. We received completely uncooked rice, twice, and were told "that's how they make it." A member of our party was a professional chef and he couldn't believe a restaurant with that reputation would be ok with serving a plate of nothing but plain, unseasoned, raw rice for $38. Lobster: chewy. Steak tartar: just an uncooked burger. Drinks: better suited for brunch, not dinner. The only thing we actually enjoyed was the meringue cake, but do they even make that in-house? I have dined at some of the finest restaurants in the world, and I can't believe New Yorkers consider this to be an excellent restaurant.

I have been to the restaurant many times with my family and always had a nice time so I thought I knew what to expect. I returned on Thursday evening with a close friend and her 2 girls. We weren't too dressed up as it was pouring out that evening. Upon arrival we weren't asked for any proof of vaccine nor were any of the guests. We were quickly escorted to a table in a corner where we couldn't be seen. The wait staff was touch and go and every time someone came over it was a different person. We asked what the specialties were and the waiter told us "everything". When we challenged him on he started rattling off everything on the menu as quickly as possible and we couldn't understand a thing. When the next waiter showed up he was equally as abrupt as he helped us with our order. When the appetizers arrived they had brought us an extra $38 salad that we never ordered. I told the waiter he turned and walked away. Bizarre. With the salads we also had the fritto misto that arrived soggy and warm with most of the calamari undercooked. Our main courses were some average pastas. For more wine we had to wave our arms in the air for someone to bring us another glass. Then desert. We ordered the homemade ice cream $28. The waiter told us that it would be 15 minutes and we said fine. The girls left to the ladies room since they thought they wouldn't miss anything and 2 minutes later a pile of melted ice cream arrives on our table. I said to the waiter that he had said 15 min and the girls were gone and he gurgled something I couldn't understand turned and left. We won't be going back here anytime soon.

It is like a trip to Harry's Bar in Venice. Beautiful setting, Linen table cloths changed before the desert. Wonderful food. In this case it was the Homemade Lightly Baked Tagliolini with ham. A house favorite. It was delicious. Lemon pie (Meringata Alla Crema) for desert. Very nice. Service was excellent. For two, without alcohol, the meal was $250. Expensive for lunch, but very good.

We were so excited to wrap up our NYC long weekend with dinner here. We both had been in different locations and wanted an early dinner to finish a perfect weekend. Our hotel secured us a reservation at 5:30. We we ready early so arrived at 5:00. The maitre d was on his phone online looking at items when we arrived and looked up approximately 2 minutes later. I was in the service industry for years and would always observe but give much latitude. He told us we could sit at the bar. We did so until the time of our reservation. (completely fine but noted that the restaurant was virtually empty) We were seated at 5:30. At the bar we ordered a glass of Brunello which were were seated with . Almost immediately we were asked if we would like to order. We asked for the wine list and olive oil (neither were offered initially) These were delivered and the Sommelier offered great advise. We ordered a lovely Barolo that was approximately $550.(Not the point but not inexpensive) We then waited to order, The Maitre D then came to our table and said that he would need to move us because we had a 2 hour limit (at 6:00) We stated that we were waiting to order and said something close to that this was ridiculous. He said that he felt threatened and would simply kick us out. We said we were ready to order and soon did and he never reappeared. I watched him for a good portion later( which also should not be what I am doing while dining in a fine restaurant) But, regardless, he clearly had relationships with regular clients and carried on conversations related to these; If this is the restaurant model, fine. Do not accept other reservations. I will say that the other service was nothing other than expected and the service other than him was simply exceptional and lovely. So, this restaurant should make a choice,

..but a sublime experience! Excellent service, unhurried and relaxing despite a busy Holiday season. Great classic dishes, Bellinis and wine....The carpaccio, remains in its own league. The spaghetti with branzino (and all of the pastas for that matter) is not to be missed. The out-of-this-world filet mignon, despite an outrageous-sounding $75 price, is worth the splurge. Welcome back, Harry Cipriani (and Sergio)! You are better than ever and, as always, in a class of your own!!

Very classy establishment, waiters in white coats, the New York experience. The service however left much to be desired. Hardly any communication regarding menu items and what was recommended. We ordered the artichokes which were amazing and allegedly grown in Venice. The cucumber salad was also well put together. One member of our party ordered the burger which was raw inside. The fries were great (maybe not 38$ great but still tasty)We also ordered the gnocchi, delicious sauce but the actual gnocchi were waterlogged.I had the tagliatelle which is the reason this review has more than one star. It was delicious. Wonderfully light noodles with well prepared sauce.Waiter only cared about the tip and getting us moving.Good restaurant to say you went and had a New York experience bad restaurant to got to if you want more than that.

A classic setting in a wonderful part of NYC. Thanksgiving meal was less than average albeit their Turkey was really good. Service was laid back and in-attentive. In general the expectations of such establishment were not met.
