Harry Cipriani Reviews List

Harry Cipriani

Harry Cipriani is located at 59th Street and Fifth Avenue in New York City. This fashionable restaurant is almost an exact duplicate of the original Harry's Bar in Venice. It is packed daily with chic New Yorkers and visitors from all over the world. Harry Cipriani offers the classic Harry's Bar menu of unique Cipriani specialties and classic Italian favorites. Service is superb; and whether you are a regular with your "own table" (many customers have lunch or dinner at Harry Cipriani every day!) or a first time guest, you are received with warmth and enthusiasm.

"I love a restaurant where you are never rushed and made to feel as though you could linger all day. Harry Cipriani's is just such a restaurant. The staff are attentive but never hover. The food is not fussy and always delicious. I think this NYC outpost makes their Italian counterpart proud!"

"As soon as we land, we go straight to Cipriani. More often than not, when we leave NY (a couple of days later) we look back and still think it was our best meal. Everything is great. My husband always has their melt-in-your-mouth liver, we share a half order of the tagliolini w/ham (YUM!!!), and I usually have some kind of fish. We can't wait to go back!!!"

"We were one of only a few occupied tables. For the first half of our meal the Maitre D' was setting up tables all around us, by dragging them across the floor. He didn't seem to care about the noise and disruption he was creating and didn't even offer an apologetic look. Our waiter disappeared and my husband had to poor our wine (That was in a cooler on the other side of the table.) for the rest of our meal, while the Maitre D' now sat and had coffee at a table in the front of the restaurant. At the end of our meal a different, very pleasant waiter, served us our dessert. We are big fans of the Cipriani Restaurants and have never had anything close to this kind of behavior at any other Cipriani establishment."

"Tables are very small and low. Service was sub par. We made the restaurant aware that we had a show at 8 pm. They acted like we had all night. Food is very expensive which would be fine if the food was outstanding and it was only ok. Nothing great or special. I've had better food at cheaper places. We were directly under an air vent that was blowing cold air the entire time. We will not go back and I would not recommend it."

"The moment you step in the door you feel like all eyes are on you. Very awkward when you step in to take your jacket off in such a very tiny spot right next to the bar and literally inches away from people eating. My waiter was nice but the good was really not worth the price. I don't mind spending $55 dollars on food as long as the food blows me away to the point where I'm holding onto every bite. The food here made me want to ask for the check and leave. Thank god my date payed for everything and kept a cool demeanor. Uncomfortable seats."
