The food was brought out in a timely manner. Unfortunately, it was not that tasty. The chicken parm sandwich is the smallest parm sandwich that I have ever seen. There should be more and better food for the $. We will not be back.

The food seemed to be slightly elevated cafeteria style. It worked for a restaurant super close to Lincoln center, but it doesn't stand up against the many great restaurants in the area. The service was great.
Jeffrey
Great spot for a quick bite before the Met. The pizza was delicious, it's like an oval hand tossed flat bread type meal. My friend had the butter lettuce salad with chicken and it looked fresh and delish.

Dare I say the best chicken caesar wrap EVER?! We had an amazing time and cannot wait to visit again. This place is a gem within Lincoln Center and the perfect place to stop in for a sit down meal or a quick bite and coffee to go.
Carol
Good food well presented and reasonably priced. Neighborhood gem especially when going to Lincoln Center
David
It is a bright and attractive, moderately priced restaurant. Sadly, the grain bread for the sandwich was dry and hard at the edges, the turkey was the deli sandwich variety, the tomato was anything but juicy, and the promised avocado was merely a very ight spread of flavorless guacamole. I wouldn't recommend it for a special lunch - merely a quick bite before or after the movie.

Cafe Paradiso is sort of a "hidden gem" in the area! After a very unfortunate start, it was totally changed and improved. It has since consistently provided a very pleasant and reliable dining experience, with good food, good service, and reasonable prices. Its location, at Lincoln Center, makes it a very convenient choice, when attending an event there. It is significantly better than a number of other nearby "popular" restaurant.

Sally, our hostess, was terrific. Didn't hurry us to order, and was friendly and helpful. Most importantly, she was absolutely splendid to my service dog, and took great care of her as well. A warm, pleasant, well-priced spot for a good, nice lunch.

This is our go-to establishment for pre-theater meals at Lincoln Center. I know there are fancier, pricier restaurants nearby, but Paradiso executes. We get a good meal at a great price and they're always respectful of curtain times.

One of the best casual restaurant options in Manhattan. Wonderful food - burrata ravioli, lasagna, truffle roasted potatoes, salad nicoise, any pizza, tiramisu. Attentive service. patient with young children. Cute, welcoming decor.
Sad, the cafe used to be a hip place to go -- now, the interior lost its vibe and the food is barely passable. It was empty on a Thursday evening, and I know why.

This was so rude attitude from the waiter. My wife ordered food to herself from this restaurant to go, thinking we would be on the go before I arrived to the restaurant. I arrived and asked to sit order a food to myself and eat together in the restaurant. Waiter denied! This was so rude and inappropriate! Food is ok but staff need to be replaced or educated over basic hospitality!

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, great location, discount if you have a cinema ticket, the food is not terrific but tiramisu was fairly OK. Overall a convenient pick before a movie.

We love Cafe Paradiso. The staff is helpful and responsive, the food is good, the prices fair, and the convenience to Lincoln Center is an enormous plus. We also really appreciate the discount for moviegoers. This time, the wait staff helped us get our order in quickly and make our movie date. The noise level can be a little challenging during rush hours (we were there from 6:30-7:30). One small complaint: Sometimes we've had dishes (especially soups) arrive at our table in a less-than-hot condition. Wonder if this is a problem for others besides us -- and if som, can you can do anything about it? But overall, Cafe P is our go-to choice for dinners anytime we're in the Lincoln Center area -- and we often drop by for lovely lunches, too.

After attending the opera's season finale, I persuaded my colleagues to join me for dinner—and I couldn't have been happier to discover your charming little restaurant. You are truly a hidden gem in the midst of a tourist-filled area, a place that feels like it was made for local
