• bridal shower

  I just hosted my sister’s bridal shower here and the event was absolutely wonderful thanks to Carlie and the whole Il Fiorista staff! From accommodating various food allergies, to putting together a beautiful flower arrangement activity for our guests, to even something as simple as lowering the music without my asking when I needed to gather the room’s attention, everything was beautifully put together for our special occasion. The food was delicious, and the team taking care of us were so incredibly nice, we couldn’t have asked for a better day! 10 out of 10 recommend hosting your next event here!!

• work retirement dinner

  We hosted a work retirement dinner event in Il Fiorista's private room. The service, food, and atmosphere were all fantastic. The honoree could not stop raving about what a fantastic time they had (and what a good job I did picking out the restaurant!). It was also a very easy process to get everything arranged ahead of time. I recommend considering Il Fiorista for any events!

• group brunch meeting, party of 10

  It's not my habit to complain and write negative reviews, but I think it's only right that other people like me don't encounter the same discomfort as me. I hereby write about my very bad experience at Il fiorista for the meeting that I organized with the brides of wedding planning agency where I work (10 persons) for meet them in person. They have put us in this dark, gloomy, bare and cold room. I didn't request a private room. I would have preferred to stay in the main hall. These are things they need to warn customers about especially when they spend 88usd for 1 dish and a drink each for a Brunch. I see is NY, and I can afford this amount but I want a great experience back. What it didn’t happened. The hall is so terrible that I can't even use a photo taken during the event on social media. With all the money and time invested in the trip I am disappointed and regret the result, maybe I was wrong reading the positive reviews and having had such high expectations. Perhaps they should advise that the place is not ideal for large groups! The cold. The cold was present for two hours with us and everyone complained a lot. And this because perhaps the heating didn't work or was it on upon arrival? The fact is that in the afternoon my fever rose to 38.5 degrees Celsius. So I had to stay in the hotel for the afternoon to try to bring down the fever and waste precious time. I'm not even angry, but very disappointed as I spent a lot of money on this trip and didn't get the result. You should warn people about false expectations. I send also an email before wiring a bad reviews to a manager because I expect they find a way to make me forget the bad experience. in return I only heard: Sorry! after i spent 2500 usd for the trip to meet the brides to make them have a good experience. But I lost only Monday and have really bed experience.

• birthday party, party of 13

  The tasting menu is literally a scam. I came here for a birthday party. For 13 people they brought out THREE (3!) SMALL plates as each “course” for us to share. We NEVER got our own courses. The pasta (main course!) photo below was expected to be shared between 5 ppl. We got the equivalent of 3 meals for 13 ppl yet paid $90pp! Save your money and go elsewhere.
