SteveFebruary 28, 2016Fantastic starters were followed by a pretty ho-hum steak. Not a particularly great piece of meat cooked in an adequate but not particularly great way, charged at a particularly expensive price.
Lauren MelcherAugust 31, 2014Everything was delicious, but we especially loved the vegetable sides (we ordered them as starters)
Nathan KamMay 30, 2012Three words for lunch: White Label Burger! Get it medium rare and enjoy every bite. The best burger I've ever eaten!
The Daily MealJune 8, 2011Compared to White's other restaurants with menus focused on seared meats, Ai Fiori is more feminine in its approach to food. It has a Provencal influence and focuses on the region's cuisine. Read more- Alex StergiouSeptember 18, 2017Had an excellent dinner here recently. Food and service were both incredible! Thx
Andres ZirlingerMay 14, 2017Burger is to die for! Nice menu and great experience. However, Marea is much much better
Christophe AldunateDecember 6, 2013Fabulous ! Service, food, wine list, decor ! Loved it :-) don't miss spaghetti with crab meat.
@JaumePrimeroJune 4, 2013Two noteworthy mentions: the pastry program and the cocktails. Two thumbs up on both fronts!
Julia KristinJune 1, 2014I love this place! Very beautiful plates and everything on the menu is phenomenal!
Michelin Travel & LifestyleDecember 2, 2013Taste beautifully crisp sheets of "panzanella," spaghetti w/ saffron, & bay-crusted cod. For dessert, get La Religieuse. – Green Guide Editor
Flavia GJanuary 24, 2015Great interpretation of the Italian cuisine. It's expensive, but you really get what you pay for.
The Leading Hotels of the WorldFebruary 3, 2011Perhaps the best 2nd floor walk-up in the city! (Don't worry they also have an elevator!) Fantastic cuisine from the Italian and French Riviera :)
The New York TimesFebruary 25, 2011You know you’re getting that butter-poached lobster, or the lamb, so work back from there, with wines to match. Oh, man. Read more
Lindsey KimDecember 24, 2013Trofie Nero - squid ink pasta. Omg going to be dreaming about this one for a while
Village VoiceNovember 14, 2011Winner of Best Use of Ink in the Village Voice 2011 Best Of issue! The seafood ragu uses squid ink noodles that aren't to be missed.
Evan StaffSeptember 15, 20141. The rack of lamb is ground up and reconstructed, like a sausage, with foie frickin' gras.
Amit GolanJuly 17, 2015The White Label Burger is even better than Minetta Tavern's Black Label Burger.
Mary MSeptember 28, 2011Prix fixe lunch was divine. Highly recommend their spaghetti (perfectly al dente) with crab and hint of heat. Using chilies
Do the crudo di passera. Always get the prix fix. It's a great deal.

Mike ChauJanuary 26, 2014Try the Sunday Brunch Buffet - Smoked salmon, sable and so many delicious meats.
Margarita M YanovskayaFebruary 24, 2012a good yammi one. meats, deserts, wines are super good. and the prices are so low in comparison to london
Bullfrog & BaumJanuary 24, 2011This Riviera-inspired restaurant has an intriguing menu. A must try is their unreal "White Label" that adds new flavors all throughout the burger.
Gilt CityJune 29, 2011We love the addition of egg yolk to the minestrone soup. It adds a whole new layer of thick, creamy flavor.
Ioanna StavrouJanuary 26, 2014Fine dining,excellent duck ...the pasta with black truffle could taste less butter...
Mirta GabelloniNovember 19, 2017With reservation we had to wait for the table for more than 20 minutes!
Martha PidalDecember 25, 2014Our family had Xmas Eve Dinner last evening and enjoyed dining from the Prix Fixe Menu
Monica JazminJuly 2, 2022The place is a great choice for special ocassions. Service is the best. Ambience lovely.
Cynthia DrescherApril 1, 2012Look. If you're not ordering the St. George absinthe, you better try the Strega Swizzle. Even presentation is excellent.
PJ PergerOctober 21, 2011Get the veal chop. Served with new potatoes, truffle mousse and fried sage leaves. Utterly amazing.
Time Out New YorkOctober 5, 2011Try the luxurious scallop and bone marrow starter. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more- Village VoiceNovember 14, 2011Winner of Best Italian (Upscale) in the Village Voice 2011 Best Of issue! Four courses of amazing food for $84 is a steal.
Michelle WilesMarch 27, 2013Trofie Nero - get it. Lobster bisque is nice, not super heavy like at other restaurants
MimiFebruary 25, 2011Scallop and bone marrow, veal agnolotti, gnocchetti, lobster, rack of lamb. Go with a friend and try them all.
- Nataliya YJune 12, 2012The white label burger is sent straight from heaven. It is only on the lunch menu.
Here's a little secret: Chris Jaekel is quietly serving some of the best food in the city. Better than White's celebrated Marea.
