"Helmed by executive chef Hillary Sterling, Ci Siamo has become one of the most consistently thrilling Italian tables in New York since opening in Hudson Yards. Its wood-fired hearth anchors both the room and the menu, sending out blistered focaccia, charred vegetables and deeply savory pastas that manage to feel rustic and refined all at once. Sterling's cooking nods to Italian tradition while embracing a distinctly New York sense of scale and confidence,"
"Ci Siamo isn't the only New York restaurant earning national love this year, though. Four other NYC spots landed on the list, underscoring the city's range and restless appetite for reinvention. Brooklyn's L'Industrie Pizzeria came in at number 27, continuing its reign as one of the borough's most beloved slice destinations thanks to its crisp, airy crusts and meticulous approach to toppings."
Yelp named Ci Siamo in Manhattan the top restaurant on its 2026 Top 100 Places to Eat list. Executive chef Hillary Sterling anchors the kitchen with a wood-fired hearth that produces blistered focaccia, charred vegetables and deeply savory pastas balancing rustic and refined elements. The recognition aligns with a growing appetite for "nonna-stalgia" or "grandma-core" dining—slow-cooked, family-style comfort food. Four other New York spots also made the list, including L'Industrie Pizzeria at number 27, Charoen Krung Thai at number 35, and Gurumé at number 38, signaling continued diversity and reinvention in the city's restaurant scene.
