• birthday dinner, party of 8

  Came for a big birthday celebration with 8 people and had a great experience! The service was truly fantastic and so was the food. The rigatoni alla vodka and bolognese were standouts. Pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and the sauces were just right - simple but delicious. The chilean sea bass fell apart to the touch. The cucumber salad was crisp and bright. All the desserts were yummy - vanilla meringue cake was fluffy and airy. The only issue is how small the restaurant is. When I say tight quarters… i mean TIGHT! You don’t even know where to stand because a million waiters and patrons are constantly trying to maneuver through the place. It’s quite overstimulating, luckily we were a large party that was seated in the back.

• private event

  A great event space. Service was top notch, from the doormen through the coat-check and the waitstaff. The atmosphere was spacious and elegant. Just a terrific spot for an event!

• birthday dinner, party of 7

  Hosted a birthday supper for 6 very special friends last Saturday...as usual Cipriani was jammed, 9:30 reservation. Did not get seated until 10, but worth the wait...one must have patience at this restaurant. I assure you that is a virtue which will serve you well here. Management and staff extremely and sincerely gracious about the delay. Seated at my favorite corner table to the rear of the restaurant. Food is always superb, exceptional wine list and the staff is so dedicated and provides exemplary service...have a reservation for 2 on December 23rd at 8 PM - looking forward to another fine evening. If you have not ventured into this special restaurant, do so...you will have no regrets!!!

• group dinner, party of 8

  We were party of eight people. Had a reservation for 830pm. We reached there on time. Found that the table was ready on the time of our reservation. Had to wait 30 mins to get seated. The serving staff was excellent. The manager and the security guard was not courteous. I would recommend and think many time before going to this location

• group dinner

  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.
