About Us

Translated to ‘Among the Flowers’ in Italian, Ai Fiori showcases modern interpretations of French and Italian Riviera cuisine. Ai Fiori’s menu highlights include signature hand-made pastas, seasonal ingredients, and traditional regional dishes inspired by the land and the sea.

Story

Located on the second floor of the Langham Hotel on Fifth Avenue in New York City, Ai Fiori has a Grand Award-winning wine list, which boasts over 1000 selections. In addition to the main dining room, the restaurant’s newly redesigned lounge, Bar Fiori, offers guests the opportunity to experience Ai Fiori in a more intimate environment with craft cocktails and an exquisite caviar service. Ai Fiori plays host to elegant private events and offers many different attractive setups for guests to consider, based on the size and nature of the occasion. Ai Fiori received three stars from The New York Times, and New York Post critic, Steve Cuozzo, labeled Ai Fiori’s signature dish, the Astice, “the greatest dish in the world.” Ai Fiori ranks among Zagat’s Best Italian Restaurants in NYC and has continued to earn its four-star Forbes Travel Guide rating since opening.
