Amazing I really appreciate the service is one of a kind love it, I visited with my friend and it was so nice on he's birthday

Food was delicious, drinks were tasty and service was amazing! Rigatoni Alla Gricia, always our favorite.

TL;DR: Crowded Italian spot with pricey but large portions. A bit salty, but good flavors otherwise. Best dishes: Cast Iron Focaccia or Caramelized Onion Torta to share. Baba Al Rum was also tasty, as was the Orecchiette. Rigatoni was salty, but well-flavored. I visited a popular Italian restaurant from the Union Square Hospitality group with a group of five others. The restaurant is quite large, and although it was somewhat noisy, the tables were spaced apart enough that it was easy to hear everyone. We had an early dinner at 5:45 PM, which took quite a while, but I didn't mind. To drink, I went with the Bitter Giuseppe for $19, with Cynar 45.3, Punt e Mes, lemon, and sea salt. I'm a fan of most Negronis, and this was a particularly bitter version. The bit of lemon and sea salt added a unique but enjoyable flavor at the end, though in retrospect, the salt probably wasn't super necessary. Two of us split, and eventually, a few of us ordered their signature appetizer, the $18 Cast Iron Focaccia, with tomato conserva, a mixture of crushed tomatoes, olive oil, and Calabrian chili. The bread was fresh and warm, albeit a tad oily and salty, but it paired wonderfully with the conserva. As someone who doesn't like it when bread is extra, this was delicious and worth it. Another person ordered the $18 Insalata Verde. It was very large, but fairly basic, with a vinaigrette that had a citrusy and mustardy flavor. There was also the Caramelized Onion Torta for $27, which was very large, as expected for the price point. It had a creamy and tangy flavor from the Pecorino Toscano with some sweetness from the onion. It was delicious, but very heavy, and I would recommend that around three or four people split it alongside the focaccia. Finally, there was also the $15 Pizza Bianca, which was easily the smallest of all the plates, but they still enjoyed it. My main dish was the Orecchiette for $26, with ramps, pistachio, and pecorino. Like most of their dishes, the portion size was quite large, with plenty of pasta, which was perfectly cooked. The ramps added a touch of sweetness, although I would have liked a few more nuts. Additionally, there was almost too much pecorino, which made the dish slightly salty, but it was still enjoyable. As a side, I got the $19 Grilled Asparagus with dates, vermouth, and blue cheese, which came with many pieces of lightly charred asparagus. While there was plenty of funky blue cheese, I would have preferred more dates. Two of the others got the Rigatoni Alla Gricia for $30. The portion was large, and I tried a bit while they tried mine. The noodles were again cooked perfectly, and while there was a lot of guanciale, this was easily the saltiest of all the dishes. For dessert, I chose their Baba AU Rum for $18, which was uniquely mixed with chocolate and orange. The presentation was a bit off, as it looked like a certain emoji, but the flavor made up for it. The subtle hint of rum paired with the bitter-sweet chocolate and orange. The dark chocolate-covered orange slice on top was a nice touch as well. Someone else got a tart, and one other person got the Gelati, which resulted in one of the only faults during service. She heard it was two scoops, and ordered espresso stracciatella and hazelnut, but was given two separate orders for $12 each. The gelato was good, but unlike most things, definitely not worth it for the price. I liked the appetizers much more, but I found the food good overall. Tasty dessert, and the portions make up at least a bit for the relatively higher prices. read more

I was really impressed by the service here! Our server was so sweet, and she noticed that my husband and I had switched entrées, so she came over to ask if everything was okay and if I was sure that I wanted to keep the pasta. I ended up keeping the pasta, but then she ended up giving us a complementary almond gelato, which was just so kind of her and not necessary. When you enter, the entrance is really nice, and you have to go up to the second level, so you can either take the stairs or the elevator. The restaurant itself is pretty large, and it has a nice view of the Empire State building as well. We ordered: - Caramelized Onion Torta (5/5) this was our favorite dish! We've never had anything like it. - Insalata Verde (5/5) this balanced out the torta very well, and it was very refreshing and light. - Rigatoni Alla Gricia (4/5) I got this because it was recommended by a lot of people, but I think at the end of the day I am a tomato sauce girlie, because this sauce was very heavy and very creamy. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but it was just a lot to try to eat in one sitting. - Orecchiette (5/5) I really liked this dish, as well as the little bit of heat! - Pistachio Gelato (4/5) I liked the texture of the gelato, but I couldn't really taste the flavor of the pistachio at all. Maybe it's because the almond gelato was just much stronger in terms of the flavor. - Negroni (5/5) so good! read more

I had lunch here and ordered the Smoked Carrots and the Tuna Tonnato. It is not what I expected. Far better than I thought because I saw what the people next to me ordered. Excellent! Located on the 2nd floor of the Manhattan Esplinade in Hudson Yards. And then another elevator to go up a floor. Both had some creamy base under the dish. And both were delicately seasoned and flavorful. Definitely a foodie's choice. I also ordered the Lemon meringue which I usually love. Their Lemon meringue is a surprise which came in such smooth cream served with a torched meringue with lots of olive oil. I think 2 people could have had it. read more

I'll go as far as saying Ci Siamo is my favorite Italian spot in NYC after Misi Ci Siamo was named the #1 restaurant in the U.S. by Yelp in 2026, and EVERY SINGLE DISH HIT! I saw fellow Yelper friends Lailah J and Stacy K's great reviews so I decided to give them a try. You HAVE to get the caramelized onion torta, and you really can't go wrong with any of their pasta. The vibe is upscale but still cozy, with enough space between tables so it doesn't feel packed. It's not that difficult to get a res if you book early. ＊Caramelized Onion Torta $27 ** Their signature torta absolutely slaps. One of the best bites I've ever put into my mouth. Rich, creamy, and cheesy, almost like a French onion soup in pie form. It's definitely indulgent, so I'd recommend sharing. ＊Marinated Broccoli $18 * Didn't expect to fall in love with a veggie dish, but here we are. The broccoli was packed with flavor and finished with smoked chili and crunchy breadcrumbs. ＊Rapini Agnolotti $29 ** Stuffed with ricotta just how I liked it. The bright citrusy note from the lemon really lifted the dish and balanced everything well. ＊Rigatoni Alla Gricia $30 ** Super satisfying. The guanciale was crispy and savory, and the rigatoni held onto the creamy sauce well. ＊Olive Oil Poached Orata $38 Since they're known for their handmade pasta, the entree didn't quite wow me. The fish had a few small bones, which threw me off a little. ＊Lemon Torta $18 The olive oil meringue was fluffy and light, pairing with the tangy lemon tart. It didn't leave a strong impression though. ＊Torta Calabrese $18 ** I'm usually not a chocolate dessert person, but I actually preferred this over the lemon torta. The combo of espresso gelato and rich dark chocolate cake was a match made in heaven. I loved the slight bitterness in it. read more

Tasty tasty meal here! We snagged a reservation and it was worth it. To start, we got the beans, onion torta, and green salad. The onion torta was a little too rich and sweet for my liking. I loved the beans (seemed like something I can try to copy at home!) and the green salad had a delicious pesto. To eat, we all got the crab cavatelli. The portion is HUGE and the pasta has a meaty flavor with a solid amount of crab. I didnt love how small the pasta was but it made the fish feel soupier. We had a fabulous lemon tart for dessert. Our server was very kind and it was so packed for it being Easter Sunday! read more

The onion torta is indeed amazing. We also got the focaccia which is very airy, along with the mortadella. I got the stuffed trout which was very good and almost completely deboned. This is a good portion compared to their other dishes. We had the lemon torta and the Gelatos for dessert, and both were great. I had the industry standard and the tonio for drinks, and appreciated both. read more

Ci Siamo was decadent. Service, decor, food and cocktails are all show-stoppers. It's definitely not surprising how popular of a place this is. What I tried: + Negroni. Smooth, flavorful and the perfect cocktail to enjoy with some small plates + Crunchy ravioli. This is an oversized ravioli filled with cacio e pepe goodness and topped with lots of shaved parm. An order comes with two and you can add on a third a la carte. This is a must-order. + Onion tarte. This is incredibly rich and is basically like French onion soup on top of bread. Worth trying, but just note that it's heavy. + Pastas! The rigatoni was my favorite and this was basically just like cacio e pepe. That's another must-order. The beef pappardelle was just okay and probably would not order again. Portions of both pastas are extremely generous. + Veggie sides! Broccoli was perfection - I always like broccoli with my pasta. Carrots were great but just note that they are pretty rich for a veggie side since they come topped with lots of herbs, capers and cheese. Dinner was fabulous and I can't wait to return. read more

Came here for Easter/bday celebration with a group of 6, which allowed us to taste virtually everything on the menu! Amazing atmosphere, chic yet warm AND across from Moynihan so we left 15 minutes before our train left! The service was impeccable, and the food was all so tasty. Highlights were the onion tart and pretty much every single pasta. With a shrimp pasta where we asked for the shrimp on the side to accommodate our vegetarian, they gave us the dish with a half dish just for him with no shrimp! So thoughtful. Highly recommend, especially if you need to take a train. read more

Went to Ci Siamo after scouring Reddit reviews! This whole meal was fantastic, but the BRAISED BEANS. Holy cow. The write-up in the New York Times was wholly deserved and completely lived up to the hype. Our waitress, Rebecca, was so sweet and helpful. She guided us through the menu and kindly offered my sister a whole bowl of olives for her dirty martini to get it just right. She even gave us some great recommendations for our trip! Cool space on second floor, despite being situated in a plaza, and the staff works hard to give everyone a great experience from the moment you walk in. The pastas were so fresh and flavorful, and I will never look at beans the same, knowing they can taste that good. read more

I had read about this restaurant in the Top 100 Yelp restaurant list, so I made a reservation and was very excited to try it out. The elevator to the dining room was cute, it had a nice bottle of wine and table inside it, giving it a charm and coziness that was unexpected. We got seated right away (right at our reservation time slot) and our server was very nice and professional. I got a glass of Prossecco and my husband got a zero proof beer. Both very good. We started the meal with the braised beans app and it was very good...a bit salty, but that was expected. I got the whole trout entree and it was nicely cooked with vegetables and herb stuffing. The dish was filling and large. My husband got the skit steak and it was very savory, but the flavors of either dish were not WOW. They were just average. The dining room was very loud.....to the point that I could not wait to get out of it...it was just not a relaxing experience nor atmosphere. I tried it, but it was just OK for me. read more

Seeing Ci Siamo listed as Yelp's top 100 restaurants to visit, we had to make the trek to Hudson Yards midtown (currently my favorite Manhattan destination btw) to experience the talk of NYC Yelpie town! Chef Hilary's fabulous creations were absolutely sublime. Owner Danny Meyer knows talent when he sees it. The mood is fun, electric and everything we tasted was soooo very very good!! Waitstaff was very warm, welcoming and well-versed. Thank you BK CM Morlene for the excellent recommendation! We'll return again soon. read more

Decadent Italian food in a stunning setting with an open air kitchen concept and seating galore! The stracci (rabbit) pasta was so rich and buttery with very tender shredded rabbit that blended perfectly and doesn't even taste like rabbit. It's a very comforting hug. The pappardelle was ok but a little too salty for my taste I would not order again as it did not stand out the way the other dishes did. The cast iron focaccia was perfectly crispy and fluffy with the tomato dip it was a heavenly bite. The trout I can sing praises about for days, not a single bone anywhere to be found and so moist. I find trout to be a drier fish but there was not a single dry element it was stuffed with pine nuts and spinach and so moist and delish! For dessert, the elegant lemon torte is the thinnest of pastry layers with a well balanced not too sweet not too tart layer. A great bite at the end of a great meal! The service was so kind and friendly! They went the extra mile and noticed our food was taking a really long time so comped us a focaccia half. Really good experience! read more

Must try restaurant in the Hudson Yards area. Ci Siamo had a cozy environment with an upscale feel without the fluff. The main restaurant is on the second floor and they also have a third floor reserved for special events. The decor is chic and clean. There is also a view of the Empire State Building which is a nice plus. We ordered the focaccia to start followed by the cavatelli and rigatoni. The bread was lightly toasted and airy. Both pasta dishes were plentiful in size and had bold flavors. The chocolate cake and cheesecake were also delicious. Desserts were light but rich in taste. Service was attentive and waitress helpful with recommendations. Overall great experience. read more

Come try the best martini I've ever had. The Ci Siamo martini is split in 2 so your drink stays chilled and you can garnish with the accoutrements they provide--innovation! It's made with 2 gins, twice the fun--neversink and occitan. Another non negotiable is the cast iron focaccia. Warm, fluffy, crunchy--a great start to a fantastic meal. We shared the rabbit stracci and the beef cheek pappardelle and finished the meal with the lemon torta. 10s all around. We knew the meal would be exemplary when we rode the elevator up and there was a wine cart with small glasses so you could have some wine on the ride to the dining area. So cute! Elevator wine! 'Til next time, cheers! read more

Manhattan, NY (Hudson Yards) - now this is how you do Italian food! My company recently had our holiday event here and everyone was very happy and impressed by the food and the experience. The staff took such great care of us - warm, gracious, fabulous and attentive service, and they were mindful of guests' allergies and dietary restrictions (vegetarian/no meat, nut-free, gluten-free, etc.) and brought out alternative dishes to accommodate, like swapping out the brisket polenta for a mushroom or cod version, or providing nut/gluten-free desserts. My water and wine glasses were also never left to languish. The food is outstanding - a lot of richness but undeniably delicious and impeccably seasoned. Even the bread - I don't normally care for bread but OMG have never had such an exceptional focaccia! The caramelized onion tart, rigatoni alla gricia, and lemon torta are all to die for. We were hosted in a private dining room on the 3rd floor, with a view of the Empire State Building and access to an outdoor terrace in warmer weather. I have patronized all of Danny Meyer's restaurants in NYC since the original Union Square Cafe, with the sole exception of the newly relaunched The View (whose previous incarnation was very mediocre so I've been keen to visit the revamp) and have yet to be disappointed in a single one. This is a terrific addition to the USHG portfolio under chef Hillary Sterling, and I can't wait to return to try more of the menu (especially the house-made pastas!). I both loved the relaxed and unpretentious yet elevated meal, and the private dining experience. read more

A classy restaurant with some eclectic options and a comprehensive wine menu. We came without a reservation and made our up way the elevator which has complimentary wine. We were seated immediately on a Wednesday evening. Service was excellent. Wine was great. We ordered quite a few things. The pasta was very good but didn't stand out to me as exceptional. What I really enjoyed was the caramelized onion torta - think like cheesy French onion soup on flaky bread base. I also got the pizza bianca. This was a little overwhelmingly salty likely due to the anchovy and wasn't my favorite. Overall lots of options and customizations for vegetarians. Definitely on the pricier end. read more

Age and celebrated our birthdays here last weekend. We both ate a splendid meal of pizza Bianca, wood fired whole trout, paparadelle with beef cheek amatriciana. The pizza Bianca had an anchovy on top which I like a lot. I felt that it would have been tastier with sparkling water or Cava as the pesto was rich. Age found her trout toothsome and filling. It was plated beautifully. I managed to eat half the pasta and had it packed. Dessert was imperative. Torta Calabrese for Age as it was a flourless chocolate cake with ice cream and the Tartufo for me. Mike was our server and he was attentive without being unobtrusive. Anastasia was the hostess who greeted us. She was charmingCi Siamo is such a lovely restaurant wheee I had eaten a birthday dinner last year with friends. Will it become a tradition?

Great ambiance and interior design. Derive from staff was excellent and very attentive. The menu is extensive and covers all the bases. The wine list is exquisite and extensive. Food was good but not good as I would expect for the price point and typical Danny restos. The rigatoni was the star as was the lab. It's a shoulder and chop I think could separately then reconstructed into a "mound" and was super tender and tasty. The rigatoni was cooked to perfection and very flavorful w guanciale. Also ordered the paparadelle w ragout. It was so so. Something was a tad off in the sauce. The onion tart is great but very rich . The veggies were excellent . The sorbet and Bomboloni were great too. read more

The place was hopping when we arrived but we were seated for our reservation right away. The interior is modern and welcoming, and the lighting is perfect, creating the ideal dinner vibe. The food did not disappoint. We ordered the focaccia, scallop tartare, salad and pappardelle with braised beef cheek ragù. The salad was basic but good (we just wanted some greens), but everything else was excellent and memorable. I will definitely be back to order the scallop tartare again, and as much as I loved the pappardelle, I'm looking forward to trying their other pasta dishes. They all look delicious! For drinks, I ordered the passion fruit sangria because I'm a sucker for passion fruit in cocktails, but it was a little on the sweet side so I'd probably stick to win next time. Wine selection was great and the sommelier's recommendation was perfect. read more

The food itself was good - I really liked the pizza bianca, smoked carrots, and roasted beets. The stracci and tagliatelle were also good. I felt the prices were reasonable. Service - the food came out in a timely manner. I felt a bit rushed to eat and get out by the employee, but maybe that's because they did want to turn over tables quickly on a busy evening. Although we went without a reservation, we were able to be seated at a low table near the waiting area. Ambiance - it was busy and somewhat dark inside. You have to take the stairs up to the restaurant, so it feels a bit hidden and unique. read more

Modern Italian food in a beautiful open air space with friendly staff. The food was mostly good but there were a few hiccups and as other reviewers have mentioned, tended to be very salty. I generally found the appetizers and small plates to be better than the pastas and the mains. We got: - cast iron focaccia - $17 for bread is a lot but this was a really good airy yet bouncy focaccia - caramelized onion torta - a unique dish that reminds me of a good French onion soup that needs to be tried but expect leftovers if you have 2-3 or fewer people as this is very rich - smoked carrots - it wasn't that smoky to me but it's a beautifully done dish - cavatelli scoglio - great al dente texture on the cavatelli but pretty salty dish. Not a lot of crab and the crab tasted jarred - ribeye - very salted and unevenly/overcooked. Part of our party wanted medium while the other part preferred medium rare. We ordered medium and should have ordered medium rare since it came out gray/well done on the ends (about 1/3 of the steak) and only pink in the middle. I'd come back just for the appetizers and maybe try a different pasta. read more

Ci Siamo - entry before the wine elevator - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Heard it from a friend, and another friend, that this place is really good. My goal is to try all the restaurants affiliated with Hudson Yards {although Ci Siamo is technically not in the mall itself}. It's a little tricky getting to , but I'll let you have your own mini adventure in doing so. Once you find the door, ride the elevator up one floor to the entrance. Take advantage of the Free Wine inside the car/cab. The space is large, and snakes from the bar through the dining room into the back, where another large room is. Long, open kitchen, a great bar, and a stunning view of The Empire State Building. We went on 12/26, and the snow falling outside the huge windows added to the charm. Lots of staff, and all into the vibe. For starters, my wife ordered the Ci Siamo Martini or better known as "Two Ways". Very cute, and I'm sure my wife's review will have a better description. The Cast Iron Focaccia is a must order. Comes with a Tomato Conserva, but honestly it's so good just all by itself. We also ordered Pesche Fritti, which was good, but not needed. Two pastas Stracci (Rabbit/Wine/Vin Cotto) & Papparedelle (Beef Cheek Amatriciana/Pecorino/Chilies) I only had Beef Cheeks once, about 20 years ago at "Felidia". Ci Siamo's is better. Both were very good, and we keir trading plates. Lemon Torta was so tart, but good. Utilizing the meringue on every bite, was the way to go. Out of all the places we ate at in 2025, this is one of the ones that stood out ! read more

My group of went to dine for lunch during restaurant week. $45 for a two course prefix - an app and entrée. Became because one of her friends recommended because of his high remarks on Ci Siamo's à la carte menu. From the four options, we chose the pizzette, brussels sprout salad, and smoked char salad. The pizzette was the crowd favorite. Out of for entrée options, we ordered risotto, the duck, and the pork chop. The risotto had shrimp and scallops, with a strong lemon flavor. The pork chop had great portions and was very shareable. The duck was shredded and mixed in a bed of soup-y beans and chicken sausage. Would not recommend the duck if it were offered in the à la carte menu - it was quite salty and presented in a way that neither of us expected. read more

No matter what you order from Ci Siamo, it'll be delicious. The onion tart was highly recommended and although I had doubts it was sooo good! The pastas are made fresh and you can tell they put a lot of thought into the flavors. We got some stuff off the restaurant week menu and others from the regular one and there were no misses. The wine list is also extensive and you can't go wrong with any of them. It's a beautiful restaurant and it was relatively empty during lunch hour so that'll be your best bet.

I've had this restaurant on my Yelp list for awhile, so I'm glad I finally got the chance to try it out! Came here for a night out with coworkers and I can't stop dreaming about my dishes! Starters - we got the focaccia bread and the gnocco fritto (essentially a puff pastry with Gouda cheese inside) 10/10 recommend! I can't even pick out the star of the show just from the starters get both! Entree - rigatoni and smashed potatoes (not pictured) . I am still thinking about this rigatoni dish. Note has pieces of pork in the dish not an issue for me but it added an extra layer of flavor to the semi smoked peppered tasting dish. I would 9/10 recommend merely bc it was overly peppered which took away from the flavor of the overall meal. Overall experience - COME !! 10/10 recommend and I will be back to try other dishes on the menu! read more

The space is really lovely... well done interior and romantic moody lighting. A bit loud so if you're looking for serious conversation maybe not here. Service was professional if not a tiiiny bit stiff. Ordered the focaccia - perfectly salted, moist, soft, crusty in all the right spots. Would have been more awesome served in a cast iron. The tomato conserva was so tasty. That with the gnocco frotto was such a solid strong start to our meal. Even if you think you are not in the mood for goat cheese, I implore you - you must try. It's so very subtle and almost tastes like a reggiano / parm in the way it's served. Light but fried, airy flakey puffs with cheese and perfect amount of black pepper... I've never had anything like it. We ordered a salad that never made it to the table. The tagliatelle pasta was perfect texture but the simple sauce was ... nothing special. The rapini agnolotti was tasty with its lemon hint in an otherwise heavier creamy dish. More rapini, less creme please. Wanting to try a "wood fired" menu item, we opted for the ribeye with mushrooms and thyme sauce. The meat was tough and thyme strong. Mushrooms were delicious. Dessert was gelato and wouldn't repeat. Pistachio too earthy for our taste. Fior de latte was just ok. White wine and a very tasty gin and tonic. Overall started so strong I would come back just for those first two items, and give other items a try. read more

From the moment I walked in, the restaurant was beautiful and the service was a solid 10/10. Everything I ordered was amazing -- from the rigatoni to the caramelized torta, it was all excellent.

Food was great! We shared the French onion torta, escarole salad, crab cavatelli, and braised lamb. The torta was absolutely decadent. The salad was different from the past pictures - not snowed in with cheese anymore. The cavatelli was al dente and had really great seafood flavor, but could've used more crab. The braised lamb was fork-able tender and not gamey in the least. Service, however, was rather subpar for a restaurant of such caliber. Hostess was rather cool and distant. It took a while to get my cocktail. Also no coatcheck...? Bathroom was also rather eh. These things made the experience felt much less "premium." read more

Heard great things about the pastas here, so had to give Ci Siamo a visit. We came here for lunch-- the space was very airy and bright. Perfect for a pretty brunch or lunch. Service was good. - Caramelized onion torta: 9.5/10 (ok it's really reallyyyyy good and creamy but also super heavy!!!! Best if you can share it with 3+ people.) - Rigataoni alla gricia: 10/10 (the sauce is creamy and salty, pasta is cooked really well, and the bacon bits add texture to the dish. Overall, this was probably my fav dish we got.) - Cavatelli allo scoglio: 8/10 (i don't think I've had cavatelli before, but this was pretty good. Loved the crab bits-- they don't skimp out on the crab. Sauce was ok-- tangy, but not my fav sauce) - Braised lamb: 9/10 (lamb was super tender-- it almost fell apart like it was shredded? Liked how the lamb didn't have a super strong lamb smell, which is often the case when the lamb isn't cooked well) read more

All of the food I had here was really good and the service is very attentive. I had the Pizzette, Stracci and Grass Fed Ribeye. These dishes were really good. I believe the Pizzete was a light and airy focaccia with a nice amount of sauce. The Stracci is a pasta dish with rabbit, but I didn't notice very much rabbit. The Ribeye was cooked perfectly, but the entree felt a bit incomplete. The drinks were I think the best part of the meal. The Hot Donna had a perfect amount of heat and sweet. The Ci Siamo Martini was perfect. I liked that they provided an sidecarin a carafe on ice and the accoutrements on the side so you can choose to add the lemon peel or olive. It is a large restaurant on the second floor and has a nice outdoor space that overlooks an inlet walkway so it is nice and quiet. The vibe here is upscale, but casual. They have an open kitchen concept that you can see if you sit further in the restaurant. I came here on a Sunday night for dinner and it was quite busy. I definitely recommend making a reservation at least a week before because I initially wanted to come in for dinner on a Saturday night, but they were booked. read more

Cozy restaurant but thought that the food (which i'd heard and read great things about) was really just okay. Service was just alright - my server was fine but not particularly warm or helpful. I came to try the very hyped onion tart and rigatoni, and both tasted very much like items I've had in the past with no particular notable improvement. The rigatoni basically tasted like a cacio e pepe with guanciale; I will say the pasta was particularly fresh and yummy. Probably wouldn't return as I would want to be wowed given all the other options nearby. read more

The place is nice and comfortable. The service was good. We ordered the scallops, sunchoke, the cavatelli and the rigatoni. The scallops smelled fishy, and did not taste fully fresh (they were a tiny bit slimy). They also needed a bit of acidity. They honestly lacked flavor. The sunchoke was ok but needed more yogurt. Perhaps they could have chopped up the sunchoke into smaller pieces. Again, it needed a bit more contrast. The cavatelli was amazing. This was one of the best pasta dishes I've ever eaten. The rigatoni was a bit salty. It tasted almost like a caccio e pepe, but with guanciale. I always appreciate guanciale but perhaps it was a bit much here. Overall, some hits and some misses. I do appreciate freshly made pasta. It was cooked al dente. It's a good place but it could be better. Perhaps it's just my own preferences? read more

Absolutely disappointed with the service today. I walked in for a table for 1. Once they sat me, it took about 10mins to hand me a menu. By the 25th minute, no one had come around to take the drink or food order. The server circled a few times to prioritize other clients. This was not a good first impression. Although the service was not the best, the ambiance was extremely warm. It seems like a nice place for groups. Please keep in mind your smaller parties. read more
