This restaurant is absolutely gorgeous! The food was
This restaurant is absolutely gorgeous! The food was incredible and totally worth the cost. The staff was also very accommodating -- we got the date of our reservation wrong, but they let us sit in the lounge while we waited ~20 minutes for a table to open up. I would definitely recommend coming here with a small group of friends or on a date if you are looking for great food in an aesthetic restaurant!

A touch overrated Italian place with classy food but a questionable layout for a Michelin star restaurant. $35 a dish. 3.5/5 stars as a dinner spot.
Be the first to ReplyThe service and staff were great and really made you feel
The service and staff were great and really made you feel special. However, the food was mediocre. When you go to a well-known hyped up restaurant, you want to be able to remember a dish you can go back to, and unfortunately, none were. The crudo and pulpio, which were served first, were perfectly prepared but tasteless. Then we had the Nero pasta, which was the best dish of the night and risotto (bland and undercooked). We then had the halibut and lobster, which were both cooked to perfection. However, still lacked seasoning all around. There are many other options for the price paid. Overall disappointing.

We've enjoyed some exceptionally elegant service by your head waiter. It's nice to actually connect with someone rather than just be served. This together with the food, wine and the setting, let us feel bestowen with a gift.
Be the first to ReplyWow. One of the best Italian dining experiences I have had.
Wow. One of the best Italian dining experiences I have had. Truly amazing pastas. So flavorful and Devine. Love the bar. They make a beautiful vesper martini. The tartare di carne is magnificent. Troupe Nero was very interesting and great taste. The spaghetti was amazing. But the show stopper was the new addition to the menu... curlorgiones. Magnificent!!! Incredible ravioli bursting with flavor. The halibut was very good. But the pastas rocked.
Be the first to ReplyThis is the second time I've been to this restaurant
This is the second time I've been to this restaurant because it's amazing. I do the pre fixe chefs menu, which allows you to choose your own appetizer, pasta, main course, and dessert at a set price! The service was stellar and the atmosphere was excellent. The only thing I'd say was a little too much was the olive oil pool of the crudo however every other meal I've had was 10/10.
Be the first to ReplyFinally got a decent reservation time for ai fiori and the
Finally got a decent reservation time for ai fiori and the restaurant vibe is very modern with nicely spaced tables. Service was excellent as well throughout dinner. The highlight is of course the pastas. We got the king crab pasta special along with blue crab pasta and squid ink pasta. Surprisingly, the squid ink with shrimp and scallops was the best. It had the most interesting flavor with a great mix of textures. The other 2 pastas were fairly similar but I think the blue crab had slightly more flavor but not enough crab. The special had more crab but not quite as much depth of flavor in the sauce. Unfortunately I missed out on pictures of the appetizers, but the fluke crudo and beef tartar were the highlights even though the fluke was outrageously tiny. The entrรฉes were nothing special, would stick to the pastas instead next time around. We got the steak, halibut, monkfish and none were particularly great. I thought for a NY strip steak, it was too chewy, but well seasoned and cooked properly. The portions of fish were super small but nothing blatantly wrong or surprising in any way. This place is definitely worth visiting for the pastas and appetizers, but they need work on their entrรฉes.

Always a pleasure to come here, and we've been coming every Valentine's Day that we can! It was a seven course meal and every item was incredible. I am a vegetarian so I always appreciate a menu that full accommodates my dietary restrictions. We had just one concern with one dish and the staff was so thankful for the feedback and marked down our bill to accommodate, no questions asked - that's great service! We will definitely be back next year and many times in between!

Went on a Friday night that did not seem too busy yet service was very slow. By the time our food came we were so hungry that we didn't care to send it back even though it was cold. Duck, halibut, fusilli all were delicious but would be much better if they were enjoyed at the right temp. Can't serve cold food on hot plates and think it's okay.

We came to Ai Fiori for the reputation and we're so excited to try it. The menu selection was limited and no specials that evening. Lobster bisque soup was great! Everything else was just ok. The appetizers were so small , literally 2 forks and you're done. We also had the duck which was delicious and the strip steak was cooked perfectly. Other than that, nothing special.
Be the first to ReplyI cannot say enough good things about this place.
This is my first time taking the time out of my day to leave a review on a place, but I've never seen such amazing service, most pleasant, polite, & accommodating staff. I'd accidentally ordered my pasta with meat & I don't eat meat. That was my fault and I didn't say anything because I probably should've read the menu more carefully. My server saw that neither me or my friend were touching the pasta and he took it back, apologized (he didn't have to he didn't do anything wrong), and finally told us dessert, drinks, and cheese plates were on the house. They also brought chocolates! The food that I did get to eat however, was out of this world. The red snapper is a must. I can't wait to come back here & im telling all of my friends and family that they must come to Ai Fiori as well.
Be the first to ReplyCame here for a birthday dinner and overall the experience
Came here for a birthday dinner and overall the experience was good. The service was amazing, our server was attentive, answered all our questions, and explained the menu items very well. I would give it 5 stars but the food was just not as good as I thought it was. I did the 4 course prix fixe, got the polipo, spaghetti, and astice (lobster). The spaghetti was probably the best, I expected a bit more out of the lobster. I probably would not come back here again as its more for the experience, but I would definitely recommend for others to come here and give it a try!
Be the first to ReplyWonderful service and great food, We had a the "Spaghetti"
Wonderful service and great food, We had a the "Spaghetti" with blue crab and the vegan version was also amazing. The Squid ink pasta came in a close second. The wine and cocktail list is one of envy, highly recommend this place for a good eat.
Be the first to ReplyThis is the first Michelin restaurant where I felt like the
This is the first Michelin restaurant where I felt like the food was a bit of an underwhelming experience. I think the most popular dish is the Trofie Nero (the squid ink pasta) and that was good. However, the rest of the other dishes was just alright and didn't quite blow my mind. The octopus was slightly overcooked though I would still recommend getting it to try the black pepper pesto. The blue crab spaghetti was waaay too salty. The duck breast was also a bit hard even though the meat was pink. The bread offered in the beginning was just not good at all - hard, dry, meh. One thing they seem to do is to play with textures of the food, which I appreciated. However, the flavors missed its mark. I also wish the dish plates were warmed up just a bit more to keep the food a bit hotter.Will prob not return again.

Went here for my friends birthday, and I'm quite happy I did. We started with some bread which was average. I then got the steak tartare which had very rich flavor and paired nicely with the bread it came with. Then I got the veal ravioli and the veal was melt-in-your mouth fantastic and the tomatoes added nice flavor contrast. I then got the steak which was cooked to a perfect medium rare and super tender. The potatoes were cooked nicely as well. For dessert, I got the Mandorla which was a vanilla cake with almond pudding and cherry-red wine sorbet on top. The flavor combination of those three along with the moist texture of the cake made for a beautifully executed dessert.Our server was fantastic and really made an effort to answer all our questions as well as get to know a bit about us without being overly-intrusive.Restaurant wasn't too loud either. Nice ambiance.Would highly recommend 4.8/5
Be the first to ReplyOkay I actually came back here last night and wow.
I wish I took pictures but overall, I was so impressed.The main difference was that I did the chef's menu tasting with the sommelier pairing. All of the dishes (with the exception of one which was just okay) were amazing. You can really notice there's an attention to detail and creativity in every dish. It's a bit pricey but I would highly recommend going with the tasting menu to experience the restaurant's full range.The sommelier, whose name I didn't catch, was incredibly knowledgeable. We loved the pairings she gave us.I take back what was said, they deserve their Michelin star.
Be the first to ReplyLoved everything about Ai Fiori from beginning to the end.
We came here for my husband's birthday and it was a wonderful experience. The hostess was very sweet and friendly. We were seated right away. Our waiter was funny, helpful and attentive. We did the prefixed menu and everything was so flavorful, delicious and beautifully presented. The lamb chops were fantastic! I would come back here again and again. Loved everything about our time at Ai Fiori.
Be the first to ReplyVery disappointing meal.
I took my cousin here for his birthday dinner and we got the four course prix fixe. For the antipasti, we got the terrine and tartare di carne. For pasta, we got the orechiette and trofie nero, and for the entree, we got the dentice and anatra. The antipasti and pasta were alright and presentation was on point, but the pasta were not as good as other Michelin restaurants we've been to, or even other non Michelin Italian restaurants we've been to. The entrees were very subpar - my dentice came out cold and looked very unappetizing. We didn't even end up finishing the majority of our entrees. Beyond the taste and presentation of the meal, the service was particularly bad. We came here at 9 PM on a Wednesday, and most of the tables around us were empty. Despite this, we found it difficult to flag down our waiter, and the server who was pouring our water continuously interrupted our conversation to try to take our plates away before we were done. Needless to say, the service made the experience unenjoyable. This is definitely the worst Michelin restaurant I've been to, and would not recommend.
Be the first to ReplyMost delicious pasta.
I had the spaghetti and my husband had the orecchiette. Both were divine. The service here is excellent. The food and personnel made this a truly memorable experience. When we are back in town, we will definitely dine with Ai Fiore again.
Be the first to ReplyVery small portions in the tasting menu, and didnt tell us
Very small portions in the tasting menu, and didnt tell us what would be in tasting menu. Could have ordered steak instead of duck. Doesnt feel Italian. Service was great and environment nice.

I took myself out on a solo date here last night and it did not disappoint. Everyone who was working was incredibly nice and welcoming. Ryan was wonderful, he was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, and Guillermo, the sommelier, was fantastic. He answered all my questions about the wine, gave great recommendations, and worked with me on a substitution for the Chardonnay as I'm not a fan.I had the chef's tasting menu with the sommelier wine pairing. All the food was wonderful, timed out perfectly, and the 7 courses left me full but not overly so. The butternut squash was my favorite course, followed very closely to the steak tartare.I look forward to returning soon.
Be the first to ReplyFor a Michelin star restaurant, I expected the food to be
For a Michelin star restaurant, I expected the food to be better. It is considered Italian, but the special pasta of the day was okay at best. The filet, however, was super soft and full of flavor. And the beef tartare was one of the best appetizers I've ever had. 10/10 would recommend that to start off your meal!
Be the first to ReplyUh-oh.
Guess I'm going against the grain among a sea of "Zomg, my first Michelin-starred restaurant!!!!1" and "We celebrated our aNniVeRsAry here!!!!" 5-star reviews.Ai Fiori was average at best. We did the four-course prix fixe and got the Tartare di Carne and Polipo to start; the Trofie Nero and Spaghetti for pasta; the Astice as both entrees; and the Torta di Limone and Cubetto di Cioccolato for dessert. To imbibe, we got the Royal Blush and the Rubies and Roses.In terms of technique, the dishes/drinks were all prepared, cooked and presented well. But nothing was particularly noteworthy, and some things like the Astice had me scratching my head. Why pair a succulent lobster tail, lentils and savory buerre sauce, with julienned apple drowning in sour vinaigrette? The vinaigrette was so pungent that I couldn't even enjoy the lobster and lentils because it kept seeping into that side of the plate--and the smell was awful.Where Ai Fiori really lost me was the service. Our server was nice but barely there. It took us 10 minutes of sitting at our table with no menus before she even appeared. And trying to flag her just to get the bill was a 20-min exercise in frustrating futility. I know restaurants are struggling with service issues right now, but there were so many staff milling around that I don't think this particular case was due to to a lack of personnel. It just seemed like poor organization.Clientele is a mix of old white men who look like extras on Billions, trustafarians, trendy couples, and botoxed ladies who look like extras on Real Housewives.I've had better experiences at pasta restaurants with no Michelin stars. Ai Fiori was a letdown.
Be the first to ReplySpectacular.
Service is unparalleled, ambiance is super classy. Happy hour is a strict 5-6 pm on weekdays but they're super accommodating and remind you to put all your drink orders in before it wraps up at 6. The appetizer-size pastas ($15) are my favorite, especially the trofie nero. Best squid ink pasta I've had with its scallops and breadcrumbs, very evenly balanced. My husband loves the Ai Fiori burger and orders it every happy hour. As for drinks, our favorite is the Rubies & Roses punch. It has some rose water and tea in it - I could literally drink a gallon of it, not even joking. Goes down super smooth and very refreshing. It's like an adult, slightly muted and elevated version of an Aรงaรญ Strawberry refresher from Starbucks with rose instead of strawberry. Simply amazing. This is our favorite happy hour places in Manhattan and we're going to keep coming back!
Be the first to ReplyCame here for my birthday dinner.
The drinks are very well crafted. Enjoyed the 4 course menu selection. The beef tartar melt in your mouth. The lobster spaghetti had quite a kick but I had to eat it all. The veal is divine and such a large dish. Ended the night with the affagato. Amazing experience.
