Il Fiorista - New York

What a nice restaurant! The room is large and airy. The occasion was our daughter's birthday, and we were looking for a restaurant that had a lot of vegetarian options and was local and responsible. We were thrilled by the amount of options they had on the menu. Like many dishes have floral accents, this is the theme of the restaurant. I admit that although I found my food delicious, I could not personally taste the flowers accents in the descriptions. My mother had the trout she enjoyed very much, my daughter had the pappardelle that is homemade, fresh and tasty, with a citrus accent in the sauce. When it arrived, the part seemed small to the eyes, but it was very full. I had the potato gnocchi. I liked her very much, but I will admit to enjoying my daughters even more. We all agreed that the potatoes and lotus root chips we had on the side were absolutely fabulous. My daughter wondered if they could pack the lotus raw chips and sell them in machines! She said they made the perfect snack. The restaurant is disabled. There are absolutely no stairs at the entrance. It's easy to navigate with a walker. Everyone who helped us was knowledgeable and attentive. From the description online we expected a lot more flowers like a flower shop, so we were a little disappointed, it was no longer decorative. I think it would make sense to change this description so that it aligns more with the current decor. Except that I would say it was the most beautiful evening. We will return for more lotus chips!

Terrible experience. Never go back. About price and felt like I was torn down in a number of categories. $400 for two people with mediocre food should be a crime

Tryed something new and enjoyed the experience, but the short rib ragu was perfect!

The server accidentally spilled drinks on us, and the food was dry and unappetizing. We were only given the restaurant's weekly menu when we specifically requested it.

Really great food, friendly staff, and warm and cozy ambiance
