A restaurant, bar, café, florist, boutique, and community education space that embraces the manifold uses and beautiful benefits of flowers.
Il Fiorista is many things – all of them centered around the beautiful benefits of flowers. Our NYC location is home to a restaurant, floral boutique, & education center that celebrate the various ways in which we can incorporate flowers into our lives.
Our Story
Il Fiorista is the first hospitality project by Italian husband and wife Alessandra & Mario De Benedetti, who are pursuing their shared passion for flowers, hospitality and design. Since childhood, the pair have been instilled with the importance of flowers, not just for the beauty they bring to daily life, but also for their environmental, health and taste benefits. Now, with New York City as their home base, they look to share and expand this knowledge.
