Sat at the bar and felt extremely welcome. Great service/bartender, great food, great drinks. The soup of day was lentil - I did have to add some salt and pepper, but was overall a nice start to my meal. I recommend the lobster pasta for sure.
Stopped by for a happy hour snack and it was a beautiful spot! Sat at the bar with a friend. I had one of their natural sodas which was super refreshing and then had the burger with the potatoes on the side. The burger was really delicious - soft bun with flavorful patty. The potatoes were fine haha. The vibe was lovely for a small group or a pair.
Il Fiorista is an absolute gem that I’ve visited multiple times, both for brunch and aperitivo hour, and it never fails to impress. The service is consistently excellent — attentive, friendly, and perfectly timed. It’s the kind of place where you always feel welcomed and taken care of. The food here is incredible! For brunch, I ordered a Mimosa, Prosciutto Benedict, and the meatball sandwich. The Prosciutto Benedict was an absolute standout — a solid 10/10 with perfectly poached eggs, a rich hollandaise sauce, and the savory touch of prosciutto. Simply delicious! For dinner, we shared a bottle of Prosecco, Calamari, and their burgers. The burger is a masterpiece in simplicity — juicy, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. It’s proof that sometimes less is more. The calamari was also fantastic, perfectly cooked and impressively fresh. The ambiance at Il Fiorista is charming and stylish, making it an ideal spot for any occasion. Whether you’re stopping by for brunch, dinner, or just drinks, this place delivers on every level. Highly recommend!
Really lovely place! The pasta was delicious — fresh and full of flavor. I especially loved the floral decorations, they create such a cozy and beautiful atmosphere. One small suggestion: it would be great to see some fish or chicken options added to the brunch menu. Looking forward to coming back!
Totally amazing venue in NYC! Food, service, atmosphere, drinks, hostess, servers all phenomenal! This place gives you a taste of Italy with a twist! It's a hidden gem on 26th St. In downtown Manhattan. It doesn't matter if it's a party of 20 or a tiny party of one, they bring their best service to you and your table. Give them a chance if you are in the area! The hostess of the year is Coreen! Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!
Phenomenal tasting menu at this restaurant! A lot of food which was great, we were absolutely satisfied. The lobster ravioli was the best dish of the night and the chocolate cake was the best we’ve ever had. The wine pairings were also amazing. Definitely will be returning - great overall experience!
We ended up at Il Fiorista after an unwelcoming experience at another Italian place a couple blocks over. Walking into the restaurant was a breath of fresh air as we were immediately greeted, our coats taken, and we were allowed to pick our seats. Service was friendly and prompt. The lighting and music were perfect. The food was excellent! Il Fiorista saved our evening!
Recently had my baby shower here and I couldn't be more grateful for the experience! From the initial planning to the actual event, the team went above and beyond to make my special day perfect. The events manager was attentive to every detail and accommodated all our requests with genuine enthusiasm. She was so kind and helpful, and helped bring our vision to life! I so appreciated the collaboration! The staff during the shower was exceptional - professional, warm, and anticipating our needs before we even had to ask. The service flowed seamlessly, and they made all our guests feel welcomed and valued. The food was delicious, the space was beautifully arranged, and the overall atmosphere made for treasured memories. If you're considering this venue for any special occasion, I can confidently give them a 10/10. Thank you to the entire team for helping create such beautiful memories as we prepare to welcome our little one!
