I eat at and review Cipriani Downtown in the SoHo neighborhood of New York City. Cipriani is a worldwide brand that started in Venice, Italy back in 1931. The Cipriani Downtown location in NYC is known for attracting celebrities and serving Italian food. However, the restaurant always struck me as being a bit pretentious, but I wanted to find out if my perceptions about the establishment were true or if Cipriani Downtown really lived up to the hype.

I have an office at the WeWork across the street from Ciprianiโฆitโs always open when I leave later at night but it feels so cringeโฆ like Euro trash type of place. It is Soho though it just has that flashy vibe. The opposite of โrealโ and โauthenticโ. Itโs the type of place where people who wear logos go to show off in.
Are you American? You sound like it but don't hold your fork that way. sounds like an interesting story, can you tell me?
Would rather eat at Applebees
The whole attractive lady at the next table thing was a little creepy. Just sayin'
Whyโd they give you red wine in the peasant glass?

Be seen bye who???
Iโll have the other cookie ๐ช๐
I wonder whether that "incredibly attractive" woman you were sitting next to caught this video ๐! Thanks for your great reviews, James!
They can take those hot air prices and go SUCK themselves !
Skip the wine and it would be about $100. But still pretty expensive. If I went there, I would share courses, skip the wine and offer coffee with dessert.
Went there for New Year celebration a few years ago . It was the worst night ever. Drunk classes crowd, barfing everywhere. Terrible food a service. And we paid for VIP. Never again
I think your surprise at being treated well caused you to cut this place way too much slack. A combination of the prices and the overall food experience wouldn't exactly have me going back there had I had your experience. I'd be very surprised if you actually go back there.
Glad you enjoyed your meal! It does seem pricey for a meal.
That looked really good. I agree, give me a stem on my glass. ๐บ๐บ๐บ
Iโm sorry what was that crap they gave you pretending to be Parmesan
If you can't afford something, move on losers.
I'm like you,I hate when they put extra crap on the beef carpaccio….that looked simple and delicious..just need some crackers or toast points or bread
There's no such thing as traditional Italian cuisine ๐
โคโคโค๐ฏ
i have no problem at all spending money in restaurants,but that is crazy even for me….
Serious price gouging.
Complete bs
Itโs so over
Glass very Italian
James, whatโs your day job? Just curious?
James, stop torturing yourself. You're basing your tip on everything you are billed for–stop tipping 20% on the service fees and taxes, especially on taxes, which means you are taxing yourself with your generosity. Don't return to Cipriani unless they give you a huge gratuity beforehand. You deserve it. Herb S.
Un cameriere che serve il risotto in quel modo bisogna dargli il 41 bis a vita รจ veramente un gran c……e
New York City has so many places to eat at,,you will never go hungry.. ..๐
Hyped and subscribed. ๐๐๐บ๐ธ
You and UA used to be neck and neck. He's lapping you by being aggressive and confrontational. I hope he doesnt "win". Your channel is by far better, even with the 1000 yard stare that fills the videos.
You need to get to know an Italian family, then, after making breakfast for Nana, you'll be treated to these dishes 4 free111
Itโs always painful to spend a lot, but I donโt regret such experiences when the food and service is genuinely good as it seemed to be here. Glad you had a great time James, looking forward to the next vid!
Doesn't seem to me that the prices are at all out of line for a good restaurant in NYC! Bonus: the food you enjoyed seemed to be very well prepared & delicious and service was impeccable.
I always had fun there โค
They should iron their tablecloths for the expensive food they place down on them.
my favvvv
Love to see your review of the new Gymkhana in Las Vegas!
I love the wine glass, btw.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful restaurant with thos great food.
