Fioretta

This Italian steakhouse on the edge of Fulton Market channels mid-century-era glamour, complete with bartenders in waistcoats and a checkered marble floor. But Fioretta delivers on both style and substance. There are excellent steaks on the menu—like an olive-fed wagyu New York strip that will have you wondering whether that cow got to fly on a private jet on its way to Chicago. But there’s also a variety of antipasti, seafood, and tasty little 4oz plates of housemade pasta when potatoes don’t seem special enough to accompany your $165 steak. Old-school touches get upgraded here too: Instead of men in power suits flagging down a trolley with desserts in a stuffy dining room, diners wearing tech vests order the tableside Caesar salad cart in the bar. Strong drinks and live music on the weekend contribute to the buzzy vibe.
