My entire party was disappointed. The over-cooked lamb chops took a very long time to arrive. I did enjoy the grilled magret of duck my girlfriend ordered but the portion was small enough to confuse for an appetizer. Lobster ravioli another person in the party ordered had a rubbery texture. The cappuccino was delicious because it signaled the end to the sub par experience. Cinghiale is an overpriced Olive Garden with excellent valet service.
Prior to heading to Cinghiale I heard from others that they didn't enjoy the food at this restaurant in comparison to other Cindy Wolf restaurants. Rather than taking their advice and reconsidering the venue, my boyfriend and I were terribly disappointed. The service took very long! Food was bland, very small portions, wine selection not so impressive ... It took 30 mins before I received my first cocktail! Bad food waste of $150!
Very good food, vey nice service,ridiculously small portions for the prices. I mean,I frequent NYC restaurants-so I'm well acquainted with small portions-but they take it to another level(of small). For that reason,I wouldn't go back. A shame,as the food is quite good.
Loved every visit here. First time was a going away party for a friend moving out of town and the wait staff made it a very special unhurried girl's night out. We've been back twice with friends from NY and they all thought it rivals NY's best. Food is great a different choices from what you find in Little Italy.
Food very good, but portions embarrassingly small. Service was indifferent; friendly but interminable wait for both first and second course. Gave up on dessert.
