Best food i have ever had in my life! It was so good i tipped the chef! The waitress was awesome, the atmosphere was incredible and we had an amazing time all around. You really cant beat this place for quality and economy. Would have paid twice what the meals cost for food that good. You guys rock!

This is my favorite neighborhood restaurant. We've been coming here for 8 years and we always come back. They're reliable, have great pricing with the great quality of food as some of the more expensive restaurants in the neighborhood. The owners are friendly and always take care of us. Everything on the menu is delicious, fresh and has a home cooked feel. I can't recommend this place enough. They've never asked us to review them but Im so overdue.

******CASH ONLY******
We stopped by this place for a pasta dinner as it was recommended by our friend who had been there before. We were glad that it was open late and we were looking for a place where we didn't need to pay $20+ for one plate of pasta in Little Italy. However, the biggest thing for us was that this place is cash only and although we did not bring cash, there was an ATM in the basement of the place which had a service fee and would definitely recommend bringing enough cash beforehand if you do not want to go down there (trust me, you don't!).
As for the food, we ordered

The choices were kind of limited, but it's a very cute cafe. It's perfect to catch up with a friend because the ambiance is very chill and quiet. We came here for breakfast/brunch and nothing really struck me, so I just got the tartine(bread) with butter and jam. The only thing is this place only takes cash! It's very poorly indicated and we only found out when we wanted to pay the bill. Overall it's a cute spot, but personally I don't think I would come back.

*Cash only place*
The food at Fiat was pretty good although nothing mind blowing, they have pretty good serving portions and decent presentation of their plates.
The services was a bit hit or miss as we had to flag down the staff a few times even through the place was not very busy (or very big). It sits in a very fun pocket of NYC surrounded by many other small restaurants with open windows and street dining.
Please note they are cash only - this is not very well announced other than in a small portion of their "wall menu" (at least that was the only place we saw it.

The food and service was exceptional. The woman who waited on me was very sweet and considerate about keeping the door open or closed based on my preference. And when I failed to read the cash only sign and only had a credit card she was still sweet, trusting and accommodating. I appreciate your kindness and would recommend coming to this establishment!

Came here for brunch with 2 others. Will start off by saying the place is cash only.
Food: 4/5: We got 2 pastas and an omelette. The spinach and goat cheese omelette was only OK. It was fine but thought it wasn't super well put together / served and was a bit oily. The pastas (penne Gorgonzola and chicken pasta) were much better than expected and good value for the price.
Ambience / service 3/5: The place is small / cute like a cafe. Our waitress was great and very helpful / attentive. However, docking major points because they had us sit outside but the heating wasn't working so it

Fiat cafe is a pretty cute Italian cafe/restaurant that serves a variety of pasta dishes and, somewhat perplexingly, American style brunch. I came here for brunch and it was fair bit less expensive than many other offerings in this part of the city. I had their eggs benedict and the tartine. The bread used for the tartines had a good texture and the jam was very thick and satisfying to spread. The eggs benedict were very disappointing in comparison. One egg was poached about right, maybe a touch runny but my other egg was practically solid in the center. The hollandaise sauce was lacking in lemony

Good prices for pasta and food! I got takeout and the portions are pretty big! Pasta is soo good here. Especially the fettuccini Alfredo which I add chicken too. I've also gotten the melon prosciutto here and that was really good as well. My bf got the spaghetti carbonara and the spaghetti has that thick bounce to it.

After a disappointing morning on Wall Street I walked over to little Italy and figured I try something new. Found this spot, not to many people were outside since it was 90 degrees out. Grabbed a table out front, they have a brunch menu but I wanted something simple and got exactly what I was asking for. Paired with a Peroni, the chicken breast was exactly what I was craving, something about lemon and capers that pairs well. Waiter was cool, the decor inside is rustic, I wish I would have ordered wine and stayed longer, but that New York weather man.. Will be back soon.

Super cute diner-esque cafe! Vintage/retro decorations that really bring the place together.
Food was pretty good. The pancakes were really fluffy and delicious! Orange juice was freshly squeezed and was so refreshing.
The woman who I believe is the owner(?) is the sweetest and kindest! Type of service alone that makes me want to come again.

Had Galentine's 2020 here (pre-pandemic, when life was good). Our original dinner spot didn't work out, so we spotted an empty table at Fiat and booked it inside. Small, quaint place, probably nicer for calm Wednesday night dinners with a friend than a busy day like Valentine's weekend with several people in your party.
I believe the gnocchi was overly salty that day, but could have been a busy night! Sangria was decent as well. Will probably be back to give them another try in 2022 lol

Wow wow wow!!! Simply divine Italian food. We got the prosciutto with melon and mint to share. He got the Chianti, I got the Spritz. The carbonara was TO DIE for. The perfect amount of pancetta in it.
The service was lovely! Great prices and a very quiet area so you didn’t feel crowded. Can’t wait to come back to try dessert!

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
