Reviews Cipriani Dolci

A great meal with great service! And they accommodated our party of twelve at the last minute. Pasta was perfectly cooked. Salad was fresh and well dressed. Wine was excellent (although some in our party thought it was a little warm).

The veal cheeks was possibly the best thing I ever ate. Get a table away from the Grand Central Station doors in hot or cold weather.

Top Dining in Grand Central Station. Cipriani Dolci is a great place to experience the fast pace of Grand Central Station while enjoying one of the most delicious Filet Mignons accompanied with an excellent Caesar Salad. Good red wine selections too. Eventhough the restaurant was very busy, we received excellent service. Will highly recommend it!

Located on the upper floor of the station, it's a casual spot (a bit more formal than the food court in the basement) with a good selection of dishes to choose from. It's a great spot to take a break and overlook the main concourse, with delightful banter from the staff. The food, of course, was delicious. Overall it's pricey, but worth a visit if you have time. Oh the breadsticks were excellent too.

The atmosphere is definetly amazing with restaurant overlooking the Central Station and being part of this vibe. The Mozzarella was truly good - very fresh and very big and really even for me, buffalo lovers, great. Red shrimps were good but lacking really imagination in serving. The service though was dissapointing and barely there, Booking table in advance worked great, welcoming was polite but from there it was bare minimum.

Every time we come to NYC, we always visit here at least once for drinks and the odd occasion to eat. It's got a fantastic setting over Grand Central Station, watching people go by their day. The cocktails are fantastic too! The service is great and we've never had a bad meal, drink or service. We would highly recommend this place!

4.5 Great location right upstairs in the main concourse of Grand Central on the West Balcony. Learning this restaurant also owns the famous Harry's Bar in Venice and Rome which both my partner and I have been to, we made a point to eat here after our museum walking tour in NoHo and getting on the train. The seating that looks directly over the concourse is all tables for two. Our party of three was placed at the next row behind those which still gave a good view of the terminal and it's majestic ceiling. We ordered two cocktails, a Sweet Maggie and The Bellini plus a glass of ice tea. A basket of the long thin breadsticks you find in Italy and some ciabatta was brought out to have with our drinks. It took us awhile to study the menu made up of Venetian cuisine, but our wait staff was patient and friendly. I was having the most trouble deciding as after inquiring about how a few mains were made, there would be some component I didn't care for. Deciding finally on their Special of the Day, organic salmon with leek sauce and a serving of rice pilaf, it turned out to be a fine choice. The salmon had a nice golden crust and rested in a thick bed of leek purée. A cluster of fried leeks on one half of the portion made an attractive garnish. I had a glass of Castello di Volpaia Chianti Classico with my dish. My partner ordered the grilled Mediterranean branzino that comes with broccoli rabe and a glass of Villa Sparina Gavi. He wished it came with a different vegetable but even after I asked if there was a substitute and we were given a list of perfect alternatives, he wouldn't switch. The presentation of the fish was lovely. (see my photos) Our family member chose the spaghetti with sea bass and cherry tomatoes. A big serving, he took some home. Cipriani Dolci thoughtfully gives patrons a plate of complimentary butter cookies after their meal which we enjoyed for their simplicity and flavor.

As much as I love cipriani anywhere and I love the location cause so historic, the view is wonderful but it’s too much hustle and bustle and isn’t classy to its original style.
