"I dine around the world, mostly in Europe, at Cipriani frequently. This dinner was to mark my civil wedding earlier on the day. While the food presentation was perfect as always, the service was pushy by European and indeed by US standards when it came to alcohol. Pouring a USD 250 bottle of wine, which should have been decanted, into quasi water glasses, doesn’t do justice to it. The same applies to charging non ordered items to the bill. While eventuality this was corrected it dampened the whole experience of what should have been a more memorable night at what is a beautiful restaurant that due to COVID’s impact on NY FiDi remains rather empty for a Friday night."
