Stopped by Fiat Cafe in Nolita and everything felt so cozy and comforting. The pizza fritta was light and delicious, the calamari was crispy, the pappardelle hit like always, and the NY steak was cooked just right. The staff was also so sweet, which made the whole place feel even cozier. Definitely one of those spots you can relax in and enjoy good food. read more

Casual, comfortable, Italian cafe in soho. The spicy margarita mocktail outstanding. Everything in a cocktail minus the liquor. The calamari amazing. Light, corn meal, fresh seasoned well. Country bread was good. Nice hard crusty bread. The fresh cavetelli pasta with broccoli rabe and spicy sausage nice. Seafood pasta with ref sauce fresh and yummy. read more

If you're trying to escape the hectic atmosphere of SoHo or Mulberry street, Fist Cafe offers a quaint dining experience just streets away. They provide street patio dining, which brings the dinner experience just feet away from the passing by cars. Carbonara presentation looked delectable, with an uncracked egg yoke poised on top of a mountain of pasta, although once I started eating I realized that the slices of onion were fairly large and unappealing. read more

Really cute Italian style cafe. Excellent menu. We came for breakfast so we had a bagel & cream cheese, spinach and goat cheese omelet, and yogurt with fruit and granola, plus an Americano. Everything was excellent. The lunch and dinner menu looks great so we'd like to come back. Service was really friendly and nice too. Highly recommended! read more

Ordered in so cannot comment on the service or ambiance. Loved the penne a la vodka. One entree was enough to feed 2 people with apps. Can't wait to come back and try more dishes read more

Delicious! Cute! Comfortable! Great staff! I've been on the hunt for the best carbonara in the city and this one was pretty tasty.. still looking though, of course lol. We ordered the kale Caesar to share, the gnocchi with cream sauce, peas & bacon, and the carbonara (as mentioned). I also ordered a glass of Chianti. All were perfect. The gnocchi was actually flavored much like a carbonara. That was super good and I completely recommend ordering if you like gnocchi and carbonara! Check this place out, you won't be disappointed! Their breakfast / brunch looks really good too. My bf told me it's really good, he's the one who suggested we go here for din din! He's turning into a little foodie!! Haha! Love it!! read more

Super friendly. Small space but comfy. Ciabatta paninis perfectly toasted and served with small salad which complimented sandwich nicely. They do take CCs. Excellent experience! read more

This place is cash only, which is odd for entering into 2026 for something that wants to be a restaurant. To be honest, the portions were very small for the price. We didn't feel it was a great value. We literally walked to Chinatown to get something else after we left. And while the restaurant is small and cozy, it's also more of a diner vibe with paper napkins. In terms of service we had to pour our own water and it was cash only. We are not planning to go back. It didn't feel like a restaurant. Also, we don't know it was cash. And we're told, "cash only. it's on the menu. ATM is downstairs (or wherever)." We had cash. We just didn't know. It's almost 2026 and credit cards should really be accepted. And to start the suggested tip at 18% is a bit much given the lack of service. read more

Nice little brunch spot. Came here with a few friends. I ordered the BLT on ciabatta bread with a side salad. Service was friendly and fast. Ambient energy and environment. Would recommend coming here if you want to grab a quick bite with friends. read more

We got the calamari to start and the breading on it was super salty and the calamari itself was super chewy and not good at all. The gnocchi was not cooked at all and was super doughy that it was sticking to the roof of my mouth and teeth, also super salty. The linguini was okay but the clams was not cleaned properly and tasted like it had gone bad. Had a weird sour taste and smell. Overall I think they can work on the food a lot but the service wand ambience was great. But the food for the price was super disappointing. Especially it being right next to little Italy. read more

Food was mid. One of the servers was incredibly dismissive and rude to our party and I do think it was due to my friends service dog. They did allow the dog in but almost seemed annoyed. She ended up leaving separately because she felt incredibly uncomfortable by that employee. My friend said we should stay and eat since we had the reservation and she went home because she felt overly stressed by this entire interaction. They did give us a new waitress and they did offer a dessert on the house due to the whole situation. Service was better with this other person. But overall we got the pasta and the chicken sandwich(?) And it was mid. Not great but not somewhere id go out of my way to eat again. Dessert was good. read more

We were in town and looking for just some basic good breakfast food. i ordered a bowl of oatmeal with fruit and my partner had an egg entree. The order was served fresh, hot, and with no fuss. And the service was great. read more

Wow... I had the special chicken pasta with pink sauce, the adult kids got paninis, and my sister got the veal parmigiana. Holy heck... delicious all around!! We left so fat, full, and happy! Reasonable prices, GREAT VALUE for bottles of wine and the absolute kindest staff. The bread used for the paninis is perfect. All of the ingredients were fresh. I will definitely be back. Just a sweet gem with cute decor. I honestly felt like I was back in Italy! read more

One of my favorite cafes in Nolita that has really good simple food and good service. Restaurant is small but super cute. I usually order 2 things here-the spinach goat cheese omelette is one of my favs and the vegetable panini. Both are so good and are a staple for me since I've always gotten the same 2 things off their menu. I've been meaning to try other things, but I enjoy these 2 so much (not together, separate times). read more

The ciabatta bread served with the panini is perfection. Reminds me of the bread I got in Italy (humble brag I travel). It's like eating a crispy cloud. Soft and airy. You eat a massive piece of bread and aren't bloated. I got the chicken parm. And it brought a tear to my eye and gave a slight blood influx to me no no region. It was exactly what it should be. The perfect parm. Not too much and over done slop, not wanting more cheese and sauce. Fried cutlet was pounded thin and had that amazing I was fried flavor. Wife got blt. Picky daughter buttered noodles. Vegetable panini. Bathroom is located in basement and have to cut though kitchen. Slight rapey vibe but no one suffered SA so no problem. Drink menu looked great but I'm too old for day drinking. read more

Unfortunately was disappointed - the salads felt like someone was just assembling ingredients from the Whole Foods salad section, and the pastas were bland. Worth noting the spot is cash only. There is an ATM downstairs but best to bring your own cash. read more

Fiat cafe is a cash only establishment right outside soho. They have an atm downstairs and outdoor seating. We typically get the carbonara and penne with vodka sauce. The food is pretty cheap for the city and tasty. The service sometimes is a little poor as you may run out of water and it might take a bit longer to order/pay. It's nothing that will ruin your experience though. read more

The food was great! We got the ricotta ravioli with browned butter and balsamic sage sauce, and the pounded chicken breast served with lemon butter and capers.

I think this little cafe was super cozy and cute! It definitely felt like I was back in Italy. I came here for brunch and ordered the whole wheat toast with poached eggs, salmon, and cream cheese. The portion was decent. There wasn't too much seasoning on it which was fine but it wasn't spectacular either. My friend ordered the avocado toast and it looked quite small. We also split the French toast which looked very cute. It wasn't bad. Also if you check in you can get a free dessert with your meal so I ordered a tiramisu. It was super light and yummy. The waiters were also really nice. Overall not bad for the prices but there are better brunch spots in the city IMO. Would come again to try their lunch/dinner items though. read more

Cozy place with inexpensive prices. The interior is super cute but they do have outdoor seating as well. I came on a weekend and there was no wait to get a table. I got the ricotta ravioli with balsamic sage. It was very vinegary and not the flavor I was expecting. I don't think the ricotta complemented with those flavors well. The waiter asked if we wanted cheese and totally forgot, but it's okay! You get what you pay for- the portion was pretty small. I could finish my meal within 20 minutes. Make sure to check in for free dessert! read more

This review includes an emotional aspect as well as my opinion on the restaurant. I recently lost my mom and decided to travel to NYC for the holidays. We stopped into Fiat for our Christmas Dinner. Cute little place that doesn't hold a ton of people which is perfect for a more intimate setting. The staff was very welcoming and pleasant despite the craziness of the holiday. We did an appetizer, 4 entrees, and finished with wine and dessert. Everything was really good, pretty standard dishes. The chocolate mousse was the perfect dessert to finish the meal. Back to the reason I mentioned the loss of my mom and why this restaurant gets 5 stars. Towards the end of the night, I look up at the bar and I see a bottle with Betty Boop hand painted on it. This was my mom's favorite character and she owned so many figurines of Betty Boop. My mom was calling us there and the fact that Fiat Cafe was so pleasant made it a perfect Christmas night in NYC. read more

A little "hidden" gem. The restaurant itself is rather small, so the tables are pushed pretty close to each other. It was pretty busy on a Saturday noon so service was a bit slow but the food was so worth it. We ordered duck confit pasta and eggs Benedict. I also got a glass of mimosa. Duck confit -- the sauce was soooo rich and tasty. I believe they cooked it with truffle oil. There were generous portions of duck and mushrooms. 10/10 Eggs Benedict -- rather basic but a brunch staple. Muffin was nicely toasted. Eggs cooked to perfection. Generous amount of hollandaise sauce, which I appreciate. The muffin did become a bit hard to cut if you let it sit for more than 5 mins... I had to wrestle with my food. 9.5/10 Mimosa -- I was expecting a flute so I was pleasantly surprised by the glass. Definitely more alcohol to juice ratio. 10/10 also If you've reached down here, you're in for a treat. Check in on yelp for free dessert with entree (: limited to one voucher per table. read more

I had the penne pasta with pink sauce. It was delicious. The portion is huge for the price. Overall the prices for everything are very modest compared to most restaurants in NYC. We both had pasta and agreed they were both wonderful. I visited with a friend who lives in the area. The owner knew my friend well, even what she ordered. There was only one server and one kitchen worker so service was somewhat slow. This is a great location for lunch. The inside is tiny and the tables are super close together. The decorations are very cute and overall a wonderful dining experience. read more

This place is a cute and decent Italian eatery in LES. Be advised that this place is CASH ONLY. I've been here twice with friends for weekend brunches. If you call ahead of time, they are happy to accomodate larger parties. Each time, I was there with a party of 10+ people. The first time I went, I ordered the eggplant parm. It was pretty good, but not the best I've ever had. The second time I went, I ordered the ravioli in sage brown butter sauce, The portion size was good, and the sauce was delicious. As an appetizer each time, I ordered the tomato eggplant bruschetta, and it was really good as well. I really enjoyed the desserts. My top 3 favorites were the chocolate mousse, the tiramisu and the bread pudding. All of my friends, except one lactose intolerant friend, enjoyed this place. (If you're lactose intolerant, I recommend a different location as many of the dishes use cream or butter). read more

Went here for brunch or some kind of sustenance today. Got seated outside and received water only. Multiple tables over the people looked like they had been sitting for a while and were just putting in their order. The waiters kept coming out and poking their head in and out of the outside area and not once did they come to us to ask what we were wanting to drink. Then the manager comes out and looks like he's upset with the waiter and a few minutes later comes to us and says gruffly get inside, I have a table inside and at that point this was the only other reaction we had with anyone and were so fed up so we left. read more

I ate here twice on my last visit to NYC and I absolutely love it. The neighborhood is colorful and great for people watching. The service at Fiat Cafe is fabulous.

The carbonara was really good! I had to add pepper to taste but was better than more expensive carbonaras in the city I've had. The vibe is really quaint and realistic to a cafe you would find in Italy. Service is fast. We ordered the bruschetta and the bread is out of this world too bad you don't get bread for the table. Honestly prob the best bread I've had. Only thing is the portions are smaller than what you would usually get in the area cuz little Italy is known for huge portions. Price is good read more
