New York City offers no shortage of romantic restaurants—but when intimacy, elegance, and exceptional cuisine align, Ai Fiori stands out as a premier destination. Nestled on the second floor of The Langham Hotel on Fifth Avenue, this Michelin-recognized gem offers an upscale yet inviting atmosphere that captures the essence of the French and Italian Riviera.
Ai Fiori, meaning “among the flowers” in Italian, brings together refined flavors and sophisticated ambiance, ideal for couples seeking a memorable evening. Located in Midtown Manhattan, the restaurant provides a tranquil contrast to the city’s hustle—just steps from Bryant Park, Grand Central, and other iconic landmarks.

Each private room is meticulously appointed, with service tailored to the moment. Whether you’re planning a quiet evening for two or a special gathering with a few close friends, the setting exudes privacy and refinement.
Executive Chef Lauren DeSteno has crafted a menu that’s both luxurious and approachable, drawing inspiration from coastal regions of France and Italy. Signature dishes like Nova Scotia Lobster Tagliatelle Royale, Swordfish Brochettes, and the elegant Seafood Plateau for two set the stage for shared indulgence.
Start with the Langoustine Terrine or Petite Chou Farci, and transition into decadent pasta courses or the celebrated Zuppa di Mare. The presentation is artful, the flavors bold yet refined—ideal for sparking conversation and connection.
A Grand Award-winning wine list curated by Wine Spectator complements Ai Fiori’s cuisine perfectly. With over 1,000 selections, including rare vintages from France and Italy, sommeliers are on hand to guide guests to the perfect pairing.
Meanwhile, the newly elevated cocktail program at Bar Fiori offers a more playful and adventurous experience, perfect for starting or ending your evening with a spirited toast.

The location offers easy access without sacrificing elegance, making it a sought-after destination for locals and visitors alike.
The restaurant’s central positioning and discreet layout make it especially appealing for those desiring a luxurious yet relaxed experience. With private dining available, you can curate your evening to match your vision—quiet, celebratory, or simply extraordinary.
