Fiore Di Mare — Restaurant in New York

A perfect experience every time is the reason this became one of our favourite restaurants (probably our favourite). When outdoor dining became the only way to eat out, Fiore Di Mare was the only restaurant we found at that time that actually seemed to take it seriously. Even though it was freezing cold outside and the flaps to the outdoor setup were open and the dining area was ventilated, they heated the space adequately and it made dining "outdoors" comfortable - or at least as comfortable as possible, anyway.

The food is always hot and cooked to perfection, our meals are always served at the same time, and we have never had any reason to complain about anything. Literally. They have a couple of vegetarian-friendly options on the menu but if you ask, they'll gladly customize something to suit your particular needs. The staff are attentive , the prices are reasonable, and the portion sizes are good. Whether you're drinking something fancy from the bar or water from the tap, you never have to ask for a refill - they're on top of it.

Over the past couple of years, we've noticed that there's very little (if any) turnover with the staff. We see the same waiters, bus-boys, and bar staff every time we visit. The staff must like working there and I think that says a lot about how the business is run. We see a lot of the same customers eating there each time we visit - and that also says something.

Food was alright. Very expensive. 38 for yellow fin tuna which was cooked well but little flavor. Came with caponata which was good and pesto linguini which was dry, lacked flavor, and was made with improperly cleaned basil (dirt in almost every bite). Apparently they do not have a drink menu or wine menu as they did not ask us if we wanted any beverages (aside from bottled water). Very inattentive wait staff. Food runner clearly does not want to do his job and basically threw a spoonful of parmaggiano onto my fiancé’s pasta. Other waiters literally yelling to the front of house staff from outside (right in front of our table) repeatedly (quite rude) - not our waiter though since we never saw him again since he took our order (except one brief exchange about the food made in passing). My fiancé got the linguini nero which was seriously delicious. I believe the pasta for this dish was fresh and house made and the sauce was excellent. Seafood in her dish all cooked well. For the cost though, the service was not great and the food hit or miss. Unless you are trying to impress a date with a chic, trendy restuarant and high prices, I would not go and I likely will not return. Also, surprisingly few fish dishes for a...
