Ai Fiori, an Italian restaurant in the Lower East Side, emphasizes seasonal ingredients and natural wines. Diners have mixed opinions, with some praising the attentive service and standout dishes like the risotto and Chef's Sampler, while others note a decline in quality and flavor. The four-course prix fixe menu features exquisite flavors, including a memorable risotto and a beautifully crafted chocolate box, though some find the offerings too safe and lacking in experimentation. The service is consistently attentive, beginning with a chef's welcome of fresh sourdough bread and olive oil. Dishes such as lobster soup, blue crab spaghetti, and Hojicha gelato are highly praised, though portion sizes may be too large for some. Overall, Ai Fiori provides a solid upscale dining experience with room for improvement.
