    I'm still thinking about their onion torta!! It was so cheesy, yet so onion-forward. The crunchy layer of pecorino cheese and black pepper added more savory flavors. The buttery crust held together all the ingredients nicely. The salad was a little too citrus forward but better when eaten with the cheese pieces. I wish there were more mint leaves to spice up the flavor profile. The roasted carrots featured a lot of herbs, capers, yogurt, and olive oil. I can see how it may be too salty or overwhelming for others but I enjoyed the combination of flavors! For mains, the rigatoni was well done and very delicious. The sauce was creamy and pepper-y, as if carbonara and cacio e pepe had a baby. The pasta was al dente and the guanciale added a good umami layer to the dish. The stuffed trout was one that I can skip next time. The fish itself was solid and accompanied by pickled veggies. I just didn't think they quite complemented each other. For desserts, their espresso stracciatella was very coffee forward with good chunks of dark chocolate. Loved how it wasn't too sweet and had a great smooth texture. The basque cheesecake was fluffy with a great texture, but the orange notes clashed a little bit with the rhubarb sauce. The cream itself was delightful. Staff were polite. Food came out quick but it was a busy week night so it took us a while to get water in the beginning and the check at the end. Despite being late, they were still able to accomodate us without any issues. I enjoyed the giant windows, open kitchen concept, intimate dim lighting, and dark wood furniture with classic Italian restaurant decor. Be sure to get some free wine from the elevator on your way in/out!

    PIZZETTE

    This is my second time visiting. The service was really good. I did feel like the pizzette was a little burnt on the bottom. The caramelized onion torta was my favorite thing. The trout was a little bit saltier than expected, but it balanced well with the mustard greens. The pine nuts added extra flavor and texture to the fish. I highly recommend the espresso martini. The environment is large and welcoming. Great lighting too.

    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!

    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.

    Wanted a nice dinner near MSG before a concert. Found Ci Siamo on Open Table. Made reservations for an early dinner, but when we got there, it was pretty packed. The restaurant had a lot of seating. It was really nice inside. Our server was really friendly. Ordered the focaccia, rigatoni, the crab pasta and the lamb. The portions were bigger than expected and we were too full for dessert.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Crab pasta
    Julia M.

    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!

    Braised Beans
    Bridget D.

    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.

    Skirt Steak
    Robert S.

    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.

    Cam E.

    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.

    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?

    Nope. Been here multiple times and always in jeans

    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.

We finished with the famous olive oil cake, which we loved for its subtly sweet, moist and tender bite. Served with lightly whipped cream and raisins, the combination was surprisingly delicious. We were also touched by the complimentary anniversary scoop of ice cream. The interior seating is a bit snug, but the decor is beautiful--elegant yet homey. The service was good as well.

    L'Artusi has been on my radar for a while, ever since I heard it was a hot spot and saw reviews of…read moreit being one of the best Italian restaurants in NYC. Being Italian American, I'm hypercritical of spots like these - but nevertheless the positive reviews were overwhelming so I wanted to check it out for myself. One of my friends and I were looking to catch up, so I booked a table and off we went. While it can be tricky to get a reservation during prime dinner time, it's relatively easy to get a lunch reservation - or an early/late dinner. I managed to get a reservation for dinner at 9:15pm which was the earliest I could find. The restaurant is pretty unassuming on the outside - it looks like a converted brownstone and once inside we were greeted by a large space with a sceney vibe. The space is split between two levels with a large bar up front and a semi-open kitchen in the back. The decor was modern - with lots of greys and neutral tones which was a little unexpected. The main star of the menu is pasta, but they also have a few non-pasta mains as well as some crudo selections, apps, and sides. We decided to get a few apps, two pastas, and one side. To start, we went with the octopus, roasted mushrooms, burrata crostone, and focaccia. These were all really good, but my favorite was the mushrooms. I'm usually not a fan of mushrooms but these were prepared with red pepper and fried egg and were delicious; it cut through the earthiness and changed the texture to something I really enjoyed. The focaccia was also a standout - it's house made and was paired with a peppery oil that complemented the bread well. For mains we split two pastas - the caccio e pepe and the rigatoni. Both of these were very good, though I felt the rigatoni was the stronger dish. It was prepared with sausage ragu, soppressata, broccoli rabe pesto, and pecorino. The flavors worked really well together and the pasta was cooked al dente. The caccio e pepe was perfectly fine, I just feel it's been overplayed and didn't feel there was anything that stood out amongst the others I've tried. We also got a broccoli rabe as a side which was great. We couldn't leave without dessert and decided to get their olive oil cake and quattro formaggio cheesecake. The restaurant is known for the former - it was perfectly fine but I've had olive oil cakes elsewhere of the same or better quality. The cheesecake was the stronger dessert IMO - the combination of cheeses gave it an interesting, almost savory flavor. The brûlée top and mascerated strawberries were great texture and flavor complements. Service was great - the place was packed but service was consistently on point and everyone was friendly. Overall, I had a good experience at L'Artusi. While everything was very good, I'm struggling to find the exact reason why this place became such a hot spot compared to other Italian spots in the city. Nevertheless, you'll have a good meal here and I would definitely return if given the opportunity.

I read the reviews mostly good so I was hoping for the best. My friends and I were not disappointed. The first thing I noticed was there were 7 people in my party and 4 arrived early and did not have to wait for my arrival to be seated. Second the waiter who took our order was polite and on point with specials and knowledge of the menu. He (just never caught his name) suggested the Rigatoni which chicken and sausage. I am not really a pasta eater but baby that dish could change that; it was DELICIOUS. I even liked the anchovy dressing on my Caesar Salad and I dislike anchovies. All the dishes ordered (chicken parm, mussels chicken paillard etc.) everyone enjoyed them immensely. The only negative was when the Chicken Paiikard arrived it was supposed to a shared dish by the elderly couple and they asked for regular dinner plates from one of the servers. It took the gentleman who took our order to step in and said sure, lucky their food was still hot. Common Sense is not so common for all. But this will not lower my rating as it was taken care of swiftly. The portions were the perfect size and I was not stuffed but pleasantly satified. We told them the time of our show, food was out quickly, nicely presented, still hot and very tasty. The restaurant was not noisy and had space between the tables. It also had an elevator for those who could not manage stairs. Trattoria Trecolori you will be added to my must go again list! Thank for a wonderful experience!
