Wonderful Italian restaurant 5/5/2006

I have dined at Cinquanta many times, and never been disappointed. The food is very good and the service is exquisite. All of the staff is attentive and friendly. The hostess is particularly kind and friendly, and ensures that all of her customers are well taken care of. The restaurant would not be the same without her. The house wines are acceptable, but the better bottles serve as a more appropriate accompaniment to the excellent food. The prices are very reasonable for midtown Manhattan, and this restaurant is one that should not be missed. more

One of the cities best kept secrets 6/4/2005

This is one of New Yorks best kept secrets for Italian food in a romantic setting! Their hostess and waiters were among the most friendly I have incountered, the food was outstanding from appetizers to desert. It is one of the few resturants left that actually cook old world style. I would highly recommend this resturant to anyone looking to enjoy a great meal without breaking your wallet all in a very romantic setting with one of the best menus in the city more

Negative experience 8/3/2004

The food was good to OK compared to many other Italian restaurants I ate in. The staff was unfriendly and unpleasant to deal with. At the end of the meal, a miscommunication occurred and the staff members that dealt with that were extremely rude, unprofessional and obnoxious. I would strongly recommend to avoid it. Pros: OK food more

VERY good service 3/22/2003

Not being a native New Yorker, I couldn't say how Cinquanta measures up to the multitude of other Italian restaurants in the city. It's hard to imagine many of them surpassing Cinquanta's service, however. The wait staff was extremely attentive &, even more importantly, very helpful. The menu was quite large & the specials numerous. The food could be a tad less salty & the coffee a tad stronger but, all told, few complaints here. more

Not worth the trip 2/20/2003

The hostess was loud and quite annoying when she yelled for a waiter in the middle of the restaurant. The appetizers were good but the main course was not tasty at all...for anyone in our group. The waiter was nice but the food was below average. more
