Fiat Café - Broad Channel

This place is the definition of Cheap and Cheerful. You rarely need to make a reservation and the food has been the same for 10+ years... It's not Michelin star, but it's quick and easy.

Had the rigatoni bolognese and was left underwhelmed. It kinda just tasted like nothing? I liked the outdoor seating but other than that, I wasn’t a huge fan of the spot. Restaurant is cash only and they already add a 20% tip towards our party of 5. I don’t know if the service was that great, but it’s NYC, so I expected to pay up. I’m not sure anything else was really that great from my friends, but worth a shot

There was a staple in my chicken parmesan. It was clearly frozen and reheated but the restaurant refused to admit there was anything wrong with it.

What a cute little place, menu was quite extensive for a small place, reasonably priced as well. My only complaint was the noise level, can't hear yourself speak when there's a party of 10 grown men or more. I will most definitely visit this place again.

Please let customers know that you are cash only ahead of time. There is an ATM downstairs at the restaurant, however, it only allows withdraws at a maximum of $200 each time with a fee. Especially for big parties like a business group of 10+ people, it would take at least 4 withdraws and about 15 minutes, which is not very convenient. Otherwise, the restaurant is a cute place for dinner with 1-2 friends.
