Il Fiorista

This bright, airy dining room doubles as a flower shop, and its vivid, spring-like décor feels like stepping into a magazine cover. But these gorgeous blooms serve a third, even more exciting, role here, making their way into cocktails and dishes crafted with edible flowers like nasturtium blossoms and hibiscus petals. (They're also crafting a collection of spices, salts and sugars).
The results are deliciously unique. Owners Alessandra and Mario De Benedetti, who relocated from Italy, have expertly blended their homeland's sensibility with Executive Chef Rae Kramer’s culinary style. Black pappardelle is imbued with lavender and black pepper, while trout tartare toast delivers a kick from chili, freshly grated horseradish and mustard flowers.
