Ai Fiori
Whitsundays
At a glance
Ai Fiori occupies the second level of The Langham NYC at 400 5th Avenue in Midtown Manhattan. The restaurant presents a modern interpretation of Italian-French cooking shaped by the spirit of the French and Italian Riviera, with an emphasis on relaxed glamour, convivial dining and a sense of occasion.
The menu is designed to feel approachable and shareable. Coastal-inspired small plates sit alongside a substantial verdure section, pasta dishes and main courses that combine familiar traditions with contemporary touches. The culinary direction draws on Mediterranean coastlines while keeping the mood playful and celebratory. Seafood, vegetables, pasta and meat all have a place within the broader Riviera-inspired offering.
Ai Fiori also includes Bar Fiori, a more intimate drinks setting with a dusky, sultry character. The bar program follows the restaurant's coastal influence with cocktails intended to feel adventurous and expressive. Nautical references inspired by the Riviera lifestyle of the 1960s and 1970s contribute to the venue's visual identity, while the overall setting is intended to feel polished without being overly formal.
The restaurant suits diners looking for a refined Manhattan meal with a social, share-friendly format rather than a strictly traditional Italian or French experience. It can work for an evening meal, drinks at the bar, a business gathering or a private celebration. Private event arrangements are available for business, social and personal occasions, with different setups offered according to the size and nature of the event.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner services give the venue a broader role within Midtown dining. Breakfast is available on weekdays and weekends, lunch runs on weekdays, and dinner is served throughout the week with later service on Friday and Saturday. Reservations are accepted for the restaurant, while the address places it within The Langham NYC, close to the commercial and cultural activity of central Manhattan.
For travellers used to the relaxed coastal character of the Whitsundays, Ai Fiori offers a distinctly urban take on Riviera dining, pairing Mediterranean references with the atmosphere of a Manhattan hotel restaurant. The setting is best suited to diners who value considered food, cocktails, stylish surroundings and the flexibility to order across several parts of the menu.
