Here, owner and legendary chef Michael White (Marea, Osteria Morini) serves up sophisticated yet playful interpretations of traditional Italian and French cuisine. Chef de cuisine Scott Schneider’s kitchen crafts elegant dishes like Long Island duck with parsnips, braised lettuce, charred oranges and foie gras, while executive pastry chef Alina Martell adds sweet notes to the menu with desserts like Italian budino pudding with cream, espresso and dark chocolate. Not to be outdone by the food, wine director Colin Thoreen has curated an expansive wine list, with over 1,000 labels on hand. Step into the elegant and modern main dining room, which features rich hardwood floors and posh accents throughout, or enjoy casual class at Bar Fiori, perfect for an afternoon espresso or post-work cocktail. With accolades from notable publications like Esquire and Forbes, Ai Fiori has been one of New York City’s premier dining destinations since it opened. The New York Times pronounces, “here at long last is a winning defense of fine dining.” —Zach Rapport, Gilt City Assistant Editor
