What People Are Saying About Cafe Cortadito Llc

The Scene – Warm light and cordial chatter spills out onto the East Village sidewalk from this inviting Cuban restaurant. Cafe-style windows swing open in summer, perfectly framing the understatedly stylish crowd, and a brightly colored painting of a nightclub eggs on the festive mood. The handful of tables in the front room fill up quickly; overflow gets shuttled to a pleasant back room, where service can be dicier. – – The Food – Cuban food is revered for its simplicity, and that's the way to order at Cortadito. Sandwiches like the classic Cubano and the Madrid…
Good food...rushed service

Been to this place many times,when they were starting out and had no customers or liquor lincese, Now its a busy popular place with no waiting area (place is very small). Took my husband there for his birthday with a couple of friends (party of 5). Spent $280.+ 25% tip That night(we are big tippers) we had ordered two pitchers of sangria. As we were finishing are last glass of the second pitcher the owner had one of the bus boys tell us that they had people waiting and they needed that table. I mean come on we were finishing no need to rush! Ofcourse we had already over tipped.We waited for our table! Other then that the food is great.If they read there reviews maybe they'll learn!
Horrible service!

I have never written a review on a restaurant before, however feel compelled to do so after the experience that I had at Café Cortadito last weekend. A party was planned in the back room several weeks ahead of time, and 15-20 people were scheduled to attend. Many members of the party arrived at the time that the party was scheduled to begin, however several people were running late. The owner of the restaurant was unreasonable from the first attempt made to speak to her that night. She would not allow any people inside the restaurant (despite the fact that it was raining and there was no one in the area where the party was scheduled to be held), and spoke to all of us in an extremely unprofessional manner. She was extremely rude from the second that we arrived at the restaurant, and the atmosphere was actually so hostile that we decided to leave and hold the party at another restaurant nearby that luckily had enough space for us on a Friday night. We were looking forward to a great evening, however the owner’s rudeness almost ruined the night. I’ve read a lot of similar reviews about the staff at Café Cortadito, so I believe that it is clear that the service at this restaurant is consistently horrible. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
- Pros: Food is OK, but not worth it
- Cons: Service
My home away from home:))))

A pending liquor license means the restaurant is BYOB for now, but nonalcoholic drinks like a virgin mojito and guanabana juice are definitely worth trying, too.
