We arrived at 11:15 PM for a light snack but ended up having 2 pasta dishes, both outstanding. We were served immediately and were able to enjoy our wine, even though it was late and ready to close. A nice end to an evening at Lincoln Center.

Food came out quickly but the consistency showed it was pre-made either the day before or early that morning and reheated. Eggplant would not be completely mushy if it was made to order, and meatballs came out within minutes and had the same consistency. The rest of the meal also had the same quality. Unfortunately the price does not match the quality of food leaving the kitchen.

Food was excellent service was outstanding. The selections were delicious and everyone enjoyed the experience.
Laura
Very nice sweet staff very delicious food. I had a nice broccolini and sausage egg white omelette with delicious fried potatoes on the side. Our waiter was lovely.
Carolyn
Had difficult time finding food that was not cross contaminated for shellfish. It ruled out anything in the fryer like veal parm or Milanese. And then when I chose a veal chop... they had run out. 😕

From the time I entered, Marcello was the ultimate host, making sure I was comfortable and answering my questions about the menu. The servers were friendly and helpful, the food was fantastic--flavorful, seasoned perfectly, and unique. The veggie antipasti is genius, with the Sicilian eggplant the major star. Cafe F was the beginning of a beautiful evening at The Met to experience "Porgy and Bess." Thanks for the memories.

Ate Thanksgiving dinner here for the second year in a row. Somehow they lost my reservation, but luckily had space for the 5 of us at the bar. The food was delicious and our bartender-server Joon was so kind and solicitous. He more than made up for any inconvenience.

It always amazes me how people who have never been there before or wull be there again always get the best tables. I am in the neighborhood go often and still because we are two and my husband is old we get brought to the back alley corridor to the restrooms. So I had to object and ask for something in the main room. Also so tiny a space for two. When the people next to us came, my butter dish would have gone flying if I wasn't quick to catch it. . Does it matter that I left a 22% tip? They will forget yet again who I am that I probably come more often than 80% of the room. Enough said. Probably our last Thanksgiving out anyway.

Our table had the meatball pasta(good), Dover Sole (very good), scallop risotto(very good),
A special thank you to Christina, who at the last minute rescued my reservation from having been made at the wrong time. Great customer service.

Eggplant parm was the best ever! Not heavily breaded at all. I'll return just for that meal! Vodka gimlet was perfect too!
Diane Louise
Food was okay. The service was awful and the waiter had an attitude. With all the other options nearby, I won't go back to this place.

A favorite of ours. Love the vegetable antipasta selections (always hard to pick just 3!), and the entrees are always done beautifully. Chicken Marsala was as good as it gets. Wait staff is always friendly and welcoming. Noise level last night was higher than usual, ah well.
