Cipriani Downtown New York City

...ask the Waiter to order what he would take, that's the easy way and it resultados. I can give the Lamb chops a 10 of 10. I nibbled the meat off the chops with my bares hands, so good were these. Attentive great service, easy to get to know your neighbor diners since the tables are very close to each other which I enjoyed a lot. Delicious & Fun ambient!

Cipriani Downtown is pure magic. The space is absolutely breathtaking—soaring ceilings, stunning Art Deco details, and that unmistakable old-world glamour. The food is classic Italian done to perfection: the tagliolini al burro is simple and divine, and the carpaccio is a must. The atmosphere is elegant and buzzing with a chic crowd. Service from Korra was impeccable—polished, attentive, and warm. A truly special spot for a celebration or a glamorous night out. Can't wait to return!

Super crowded. If you don’t show up within 10 mins of your reservation. They cancel it automatically. Extremely crowded inside. Feeling suffocated. I was being turned away on a Valentine’s Day despite making a reservation.

One of worst dining experiences. Absolutely too many people. Literally tables touching each other. You cannot have a conversation as you are touching elbows with strangers. Massive line of people at the bar. Servers dont care. Food is just average and like you make at home. Complete rip off. We cpuldnt wait to get out and away grom this madhouse

I came to Cipriani Downtown to celebrate my birthday with friends, expecting a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the experience we had.

Throughout the evening, the table seated next to us repeatedly stared at us in a way that felt judgmental and hostile. It was disappointing to feel judged and watched while simply enjoying a birthday celebration with friends. Dining out, especially at a place like Cipriani, should feel enjoyable and inclusive, not tense or awkward.

While the food and setting were what you’d expect from Cipriani, the overall atmosphere was overshadowed by this experience. For a restaurant of this caliber, I would hope for a more considerate and welcoming environment for all guests, especially those celebrating special occasions.

Overhyped place. Service is as mediocre as the food. Don’t expect quality food here. There are way better Italian restaurants not far. The vanilla gelato was amazing, but I didn’t come for dessert only.

Every time I return to Cipriani, it’s a guarantee.
The menu never disappoints, but there are dishes I can’t resist: the Cipriani-style steak tartare, always impeccable, and the Homemade Tortellini with Panna, Prosciutto e Piselli, a timeless classic.
Elegant service, a timeless atmosphere, and a cuisine that is consistent, refined, and memorable. A true point of reference in New York.

The food and beverage were really good. Pasta was fresh and delicious and the bolognese style sauce was drool-worthy and fresh-tasting; this was unlike any Italian restaurant in the world! The gelato was not only flavourful but super creamy as well. Mojito was made virgin for me and that was amazing too!

Service certainly needs improvement. The restaurant seems to not be aware of who the server was and the receipt shows the name of the cashier, not the server. On the other hand the server himself did not introduce mentioning his name to me when he first met me.

I had to tell my server that it was my birthday when I’ve clearly booked my reservation mentioning that it was my birthday. He brought a cake slice to celebrate another customer’s birthday without the customer mentioning that. Only after I told him that it is my birthday, that too when it came to ordering dessert, I had my birthday celebrated by him.

Then when I later asked him if he could take my photo he looked quite irritated and rudely took my photo when I presented to him my phone to do so.

I also noticed that a different customer from another table was treated differently to me. She had her coat put on for her but the same was not done for me when I was provided with my coat. Moreover my coat came late and I had to ask for it again to get it. This was the treatment I received when I paid 20% tip while the customer next to me paid 18%. I also had a bill amount of more than $100 being a single person!

Additionally, after my bill was presented, I asked the server to provide me with the pay machine so I can give him a tip. He asked how much I want to give and I professionally pointed it out on the paper. He then aggressively shouted at me in an agitated tone in front of everyone saying - you want to be pay 20%? I will punch it in the machine as 20%!

The server’s attitude was very poor towards me when I had only been kind, polite with a warm smile throughout. Such service definitely reflects badly on a restaurant of this reputation. I strongly felt the customers treated me way better than this server! You guys certainly messed up with a high-paying customer on his most special day! Since my friend visited Cipriani in Dubai I decided to go here on his recommendation, however based on what I’ve experienced with Cipriani Downtown NYC, I would not recommend anyone to dine at a Cipriani as at the very least, you would expect to be treated with respect at a high-profile restaurant.

The seating is also really congested along with staff walking in between chairs constantly. It is really uncomfortable to sit this way and it doesn’t make sense, especially at a restaurant that charges such exorbitant prices!

Spent $1200 on a meal to have to wait 45 mins for a reserved table, the coat check attendants to mix up our tags, the servers to drop dishes down without helping serve us, the risotto we ordered to never come, and the doorman to hold a group of us inside the vestibule while we were leaving so we wouldn’t let any cold air inside the restaurant. What?!? CRAZY. Insane.
