Lincoln Ristorante

This place is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by glass exterior, which allows the beautiful center to be the backdrop. The service was kind but our waiter seemed to be rushing us a bit towards the end. Now, for the food. I'm not big on Italian food but this was an experience. The agnoletti with oxtail was a party in my mouth. It was so good, I had it twice. Don't skip it.

Upscale fine Italian dining. The menu is pretty limited but done with attention to smallest details. Restaurant located in the middle of Lincoln Center and got beautiful grass angled roof . The interior is very modern and fits perfect in surrounding area . They have a soft while leather couches for the inside seating plus outside tables are available. Food and cocktails are delicious. Highly recommend for special occasion

Amazing architecture design (roof top is great, worth to visit), dishes were great as well. We order most of the pasta dishes, highly recommended the ragu and lobster pasta. Cocktail was okay, the wine selection is better.

Have eaten at Lincoln Ristorante a couple of times over the years. This was the first time we've been here for Thanksgiving. The food, service, and atmosphere were all excellent. The 3 course pre-fix at 95 dollars per person also seemed fair as well for the experience we had. We highly recommend Lincoln Ristorante and would definitely come back again over Thanksgiving time or any other time for that matter. This is an excellent restaurant.

Food quality varied from merely decent to very good. I loved the rack of lamb: the gnocchi and mushrooms it was served with was perfectly salted and did its job to elevate the well seasoned lamb. The fusilli dish with italian sausage was good but not remarkable. Same with the chicken milanese. The cacio e pepe was very nice, though quite heavy and best balanced with something lighter. The Burrata was an excellent and inspiring small plate, with really incredible flavors. This and the lamb rack were what made the experience well worthy of five stars. The desserts were nice. I much preferred the light and refreshing honey ricotta cheesecake to the incredibly rich Bacio, though it was paired with a wonderful hazlenut gelato. The service was good, and my water glass was always very quickly refilled (this is important to me, I dont like an empty glass when I go to take a sip). There seemed to be many waiters standing around, which was a little weird but certainly was part of the service. Perhaps our table was just especially close to where the waiters stood. The location is great for dinner before the opera or a night of jazz, I would highly recommend for the convenience.

We never realized there was a restaurant attached to Lincoln and was eager to try it. Fancy setting, sophisticated looking crowd. The appetizer were pretty good, we really liked the meatballs. Server was very nice. And then everything went down hill. After we finished the appetizers, it took 40 minutes for the entrees to show up. We timed it. The cacio pepe tasted like they dropped an entire salt shaker into it. The filet was good but the accompanying potato side was also extremely salty. The cacio pepe and filet do not take more than 10 minutes to make. If they ask whether you have plans after dinner to see a performance, just say yes. But even without the wait, the entrees were very disappointing. I’ll go back to not knowing there is a restaurant attached to Lincoln.

It’s a nice and enjoyable place. Inside the Lincoln square with great inside and outside designs. The vibe is quiet and soothing, perfect for dates and couples. Food is great too. Highly recommend the meatball and strip steak, and elderly flower spritz for the drink.

The Lincoln Restaurant at Lincoln Center offers an elegant dining experience with excellent meals from which to choose. The Fritto Misto won my heart immediately. You will like your dinner here without question. The only problem was that our party of five sat in a booth that was rather spread out. That would have been fine except there was a speaker directly above our table blaring mediocre music. I wanted to rip it out of the ceiling so I could hear table mates but decided that would be frowned upon.
