Cipriani Downtown New York City

An absolutely awful dinner. Service was unacceptable. We waited an hour breeen our appetizers and main courses and had to repeatedly ask on the status of our order. Once the food arrived the branzino was served on a lonely plate without any garnish and dry and on another plate overcooked broccoli rabe. Veal picatine was slightly better but definitely not worth the wait or the price.

Old school great food and service

I used to love it here, and the staff were always so nice. But unfortunately, I dropped a ring while dining, and while the waiters were kind and helpful, I really think they should have checked the cameras to see when it happened. It left me feeling a bit disappointed.

Haven’t been here in many years until this weekend. Food and service are still excellent. However, the atmosphere doesn’t match the quality and prices of the food. Very strange. They’ve packed up many tables so close to each other that can you hear everyone’s conversations. It’s almost like a big communal table… extremely close to each other.
Also, small thing, but given the category of the rest and prices, they should at least have nice soap in the bathrooms. Softsoap in a luxury restaurant is not it. Lastly, having a guy selling candy outside of the bathroom seems so weird nowadays.

I had been looking forward to trying this restaurant in New York, but it didn’t meet expectations. The atmosphere was nice, but the food was underwhelming – bland and poorly executed. Service was inconsistent, making the experience even more disappointing.

Honestly there is nothing special about this place and the food is average at best. What was beyond shocking was two African American women walked in and the manager ask them if they needed to see the menu first. He didn't do that for anyone else. Absolutely despicable and shame on you. Will never come here even for free.

This place is really just a regular Italian restaurant that you could find in NJ. Overrated. Food was very average and super expensive for nothing. You were not allowed to modify any of the ingredients. Kids pasta plain butter $40.!
At the end we took of the dishes home and the server forgot to bring it to us.

We had such a beautiful experience at Cipriani. We were visiting from out of town and showed up a little late to our reservation, but the staff was so kind and accommodating. Milton, the manager, was truly incredible. He was warm, attentive, and you can tell he genuinely cares about every guest. His hospitality made us feel so welcome and really elevated our whole night. Every single person there was amazing. Can’t wait to come back next time we’re in the city.

Honestly, this place was a letdown. There were little bugs floating in my water, and the cup kinda smelled weird too. I asked for a new one, but no one brought it over for ages. I had to go ask again, and the server finally gave me a new glass—but looked super annoyed about it.

The food took forever to come out, and no one ever checked in. I was just sitting there wondering if they forgot about me. Not a great experience. Won’t be coming back.

Disappointed and Underwhelmed!

I’ve always heard great things about Cipriani, so I was genuinely looking forward to dining here — but unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype. The overall experience was bland and underwhelming.

My husband had the steak, which was just okay, and I ordered the sea bass, which was honestly awful. The seasoning or oil used on the fish had a bitter aftertaste that made it nearly inedible — I couldn’t even finish it. We also split the chicken sandwich as a starter. It was decent, but let’s be honest: it’s hard to mess up a sandwich.

What made the night worse was how rushed we felt. From wine to appetizer to entrée, the entire meal was over in about 40 minutes. It felt like they were trying to flip the table as quickly as possible. The most shocking part was at the end: after we left the tip in the envelope and paid, our waiter grabbed the envelope immediately, opened it in front of us, and wished us a goodnight — before we had even stood up. Completely unprofessional. No one should be handling a tip that way before a guest has even left the table.

For a restaurant with such a high-end reputation and price point, this was a huge letdown. Sadly, we won’t be returning.

If you are reading this, please choose a different restaurant !

Today was a hot day in nyc and I haven’t been to Cipriani in over 10 years when they used to do promoter dinners there . I wanted to sit outside even though it was super hot . I had a virgin Bellini it wasn’t that cold it was a good 6.5 out of 10. I didn’t love the tuna tartar 2 out of 10 but then again I never really like tuna tartar but my pasta was good as was my vanilla meringue cake ! FIVE STARS FOR service I would go back again just to experience that hospitality the man at the door who speaks Italian and knew everyone who walked in or seemed like it the waiter and the server assistant 10/10 to everyone in there .

Slow service, food not great, noisy and expensive.

i honestly don’t write reviews ever. but the service was so bad it just made my experience feel horrible. we had said multiple times to many people that we were still eating and they still took our food. they kept taking things without asking if we still wanted to use it and i had to keep asking for the stuff back, example: olive oil, bread etc. and i noticed they weren’t even bothering the couple next to us as much as they were bothering my friend and i and it just made me so uncomfortable and overwhelmed like we just wanted to have a good night and it just left things really weird. i just didn’t like how we were being treated at all.
