I went with the dish of the day and started with a delicious burrata so fresh and flavorful. The salmon and salad were excellent as well. I finished with their famous meringue cake, which was good, though slightly below my expectations compared to the other dishes. The atmosphere is amazing, the staff is very attentive, and the place never feels pretentious. My friend had a cappuccino and I had a latte both were truly fantastic, freshly made and full of flavor. And of course, their Bellini is a must have, so refreshing and perfectly balanced. On my next visit I’ll definitely try the carpaccio and pasta. Overall, Cipriani truly lives up to its quality and hype Cipriani stands as the very embodiment of Italian culinary heritage, a name synonymous with timeless refinement. Each plate of pasta arrives freshly crafted, delicate yet deeply flavorful, while the main courses—consistent in taste and impossible to resist—linger in memory long after the last bite. For over a decade, whether in Miami or New York, Cipriani has been a sanctuary of reliability and elegance, never once failing to enchant. The atmosphere exudes effortless sophistication, the service is orchestrated by a team of consummate professionals, and no visit feels complete without raising a glass of their signature Bellini—an icon in its own right. Visited Cipriani Downtown for lunch and had a delightful experience. The baked white tagliolini with was good… think of it as a luxurious, Italian take on mac and cheese. I also tried the seabass pasta, which was fresh and flavorful. The staff were friendly, and the manager took the time to check in, adding a personal touch to the meal. The atmosphere was elegant yet relaxed, making it a great spot for a leisurely lunch. the prices are on the higher side…even by NYC standards. Highly recommend for a special occasion or when you’re in the mood to treat yourself.

Service at Cipriani Downtown is excellent. The staff was friendly, fast, and very attentive. It was raining when I arrived and they immediately took care of my wet umbrella and made sure I was comfortable, which I appreciated. The food was good, but definitely overpriced for what it was. Portion sizes were decent, and everything tasted fine, just not particularly memorable. I had the baby artichoke salad—I liked it, but didn’t love it. Their espresso is exceptional though. They bring out bread and breadsticks, but no butter, olive oil, or even a plate to go with it, which felt a bit off for a place at this price point. Ambiance is fine, pretty old school but not vintage / dusty feeling. Overall, nice atmosphere and great service, but there's definitely a mismatch between food and value.
