snap peas salad
Marietta C.

Dear Chase, thank you for introducing me to this incredible date night spot. You'll barely ever see me write a review for Italian spots because I don't even go to any. It's almost impossible for me to ever be happy with Italian food outside of Italy or home. WELL, Ci Siamo proved me WRONG and I'm so happy they did. We came here for a pre concert dinn dinn. Initially I thought we'd just get some drinks and apps and keep it moving. The dishes were jaw dropping and served with the prettiest details. We ordered the tagliatelle al sugo, orechiette with ramps, pistachio and pecorino and the snap peas with bulgur, asparagus and sunflour seeds. WOW WOW WOW The sugo was uncomplicatedly made come lo fa tua nonna. None of the heavy Italian American traditions. All so delicious adding their own twist. The orecchiette was such a creative dish but also so bright, colorful and so many different textures and flavors that to perfectly together. Portions were perfectly sized and we got to share and try everything. If we would've ordered apps it would've been too much. Got the Ci siamo martini (botanical to the core just how I like it!) and a rotating mezcal with aperol drink. Overall great place to dine in or come out with your friends. Be sure to make a resy!

Snap Peas

{Overall: 5; Food: 5} Ambiance: 5; Service: 5 I loved everything about Ci Siamo. The ambiance is delightful. The restaurant is huge, but still feels warm and inviting. We sat on the patio, which was perfect for a summer day. We enjoyed everything we ate and were genuinely left wanting more by the end of the meal. *Cast Iron Focaccia: Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The tomato conserva alongside it was delicious. *Mortadella con Pistacchio: Simple and well executed. Great mortadella. *Escarole: Reminded me of a Caesar salad. The leaves were crisp and generously dressed, which I loved. *Braised Beans: I generally do not love beans, but I loved this dish. It felt like a hearty, comforting bean stew. *Rigatoni Alla Gricia: My favorite dish of the night. Rich and creamy with salty guanciale and perfectly cooked pasta. *Roasted Half Chicken: Usually chicken is not something I get excited about at restaurants because it can be bland, dry, or both. This was one of the best restaurant chicken dishes I have ever had. It was perfectly moist, incredibly well seasoned, and felt like a thoughtfully composed dish rather than just a piece of chicken on a plate. Even the white meat was tender, and the skin was fantastic. The service was excellent throughout the meal. Combined with the beautiful setting and consistently strong food, it made for a memorable dining experience.

Bomboloni
Stephanie C.

Ci Siamo might have the best foccacia I have ever had and I'm a sourdough bread baker and have had my fair share of good bread... I highly recommend trying it. I got to try a lot of their dishes on a prix fix menu and my favorites were the cast iron foccacia, carmelized onion torta, rigatoni alla gricia, bomboloni, and lemon torta. You have to try the bomboloni if you like rich dark chocolate desserts. It was fudgey, rich and so decadent. Their Amaretto Sour was also delicious, kudos to the bartender who went above and beyond to get an extra ingredient to make it and shook up the delicate egg white top.

Came here for lunch yesterday after a Peloton class, and it exceeded my expectations. My steak was the only disappointment. I ordered it medium, but it was cooked well done. Despite that, the quality of the food and overall experience were still very good.

Salad and wine
Itanza L.

I came here during a trip to New York City last week, and really enjoyed my time. The staff was wonderful, everyone was very friendly and service was prompt. I only had a late lunch because I wasn't super hungry, but what I had was pretty tasty. Honestly, I was inspired to write this review for the salad lol. The INSALATA VERDE, was freaking incredible. UGH. So fresh and the flavors were perfect. I also got a pasta, CAVATELLI ALLO SCOGLIO, but sadly wasn't that into it. All of the flavors were good, I just think it didn't come together in a way that my taste buds enjoyed lol. But I can't say it was nasty, just not my vibe. Overall was a great visit, and a great location for a cute lunch in the city, especially if you're near the highline! Oh! And I can't forget the cute little welcome wine that they have in the elevator. It's only on the second floor, but it was a nice experience.

Open kitchen concept
Ryan B.

The food was outstanding: every dish was well prepared, flavorful, and absolutely worth ordering. Unfortunately, the service was a major disappointment. It took more than 10 minutes for our wine to arrive after we ordered it. After we finished eating, our dirty plates sat on the table for over 15 minutes while multiple staff members walked by without clearing them. I eventually had to place a plate over my food just to get someone's attention. Our wine glasses were never refilled, and the only time anyone checked on us was after we had completely finished our meal to ask how the food was. It's frustrating because the kitchen did an excellent job, but the service fell far short of the quality of the food. I probably won't return because there's so many options in the city.

The tasty tomato conserva, served with the focaccia
Glenn C.

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.

Carmelized onion torta
Karen C.

Came here a for a nice lunch. Loved the decor and vibe. Service was great! Staff was really nice. Appetizer carmelized onion torta. So good very decadent. Def a must try! Meal we ordered two pasta ( rigatoni alla gricia and orecchiette) and shared ribeye for some protein. Presentation was really good but was really disappointed it was so salty. I was even surprised the ribeye was really salty, but also very fatty. Not sure if it was an off day or we just had bad luck.

Pork Malinese
Megan R.

This place has been on my list for quite a while and I'm glad I finally decided to go on a Sunday evening. The space is surprisingly large and beautiful, and while the food is elevated, there's no level of pretentious in the experience. Every single food item was unique and incredible and the service from start to finish was delightful.

Rapini Agnolotti
Ruby C.

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.

Inside
Tiffany L.

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!

The lemon meringue
Bing R.

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.

Stuffed trout
Austin K.

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.

Is it a kid friendly or good for family dinners?

I would say that it is not particularly kid friendly. This is more of an adult restaurant.

Any issues wearing jeans and a sweater here?

No. Most clients dress smart casual.

Are dogs allowed on the top patio?

Absolutely not!!!

Is there a spicy dish on the menu?

Having dined there for both lunch and dinner I don't recall there being what I would consider a spicy dish on the menu.

Is this place kid friendly?

Although I did see a family with young children, I would say it is really more of an adult atmosphere. Not to mention I wouldn't call it a kid friendly menu.

Great experience overall ... with a decent view of the fireworks show.... Drinks were overpriced…read moreand the DJ's music was a bit too over the top. Not the place to bring someone who may forget who they came with lol . The service was mediocre at best.. and there were not enough seats inside to accommodate more of the crowd..

This place has so much potential it's honestly a little offensive that it's not living up to it…read more Like... you walk in and you feel like something should be happening. The energy is right there, hovering, but it never actually lands. It's giving "almost iconic" but not quite--like a party that never fully starts. And that's what gets me. Because this bar could EASILY be that spot. The kind people plan their week around. Where are the themed nights? Where's the drama? The chaos? Give me a reason to come back on a random Wednesday. Do a city-event tie-in, a holiday takeover, literally anything that makes it feel alive instead of just... existing. Because right now it feels like a missed opportunity wearing a cute outfit. BUT--let's talk about the one thing they absolutely did not fumble: the view. The VIEW??? Insane. Genuinely stunning. The kind of view that makes you pause mid-sentence and remember you're in New York and not just spiraling in your own life choices. It's carrying the entire experience on its back, respectfully. So yeah. I'd come back... but mostly for the view and the potential. If they ever decide to actually do something with this space? It could be dangerous (in a good way). Until then, it's vibes... just not fully realized ones.

The view is gorgeous and sweeping. The service is attentive and professional. The drinks are sophisticated. I ended up here because I saw a video about their gin and tonic. Sounds simple, but it's one of my favorite drinks, and I'm always looking for someone who can do it well. I ordered their "dear G&T" and it was a fruity, complex riff on my old favorite. I also got the foreign forage, "a bourbon smash with a mint zing." It was also a delicious take on a classic. They have several types of cocktails, all broken down by spirit and flavor profile. They also offer a lot of spirits made in New York State. They have cocktails with earthy notes, fruity notes, fancy martinis, and a section boasting limited edition and special spirits, if you're "feeling fancy" and wanna cough up 35 bucks instead of 20 or 25! They have a bar snacks menu (sliders, nuts, and the like). I had their thick cut fries and they were light, seasoned, and tasty. I couldn't stop eating them. Midtown or not, I highly recommend this spot, which also has a couple other locations, including Gramercy.
