    Enjoyed coming here for a quick, fulfilling and yummy lunch! The place is rather small and seating is limited, but I was able to find a table to enjoy my meal within reasonable time. The service is quick. Not the cheapest meal you'll have in NYC but I would recommend checking them out!

    This is a fast casual restaurant that has appeared in viral Instagram posts because of their "cheese wheel". Though they do have some seating, most of their business is from takeout orders. If you are expecting high quality pasta, this is not the place. Their "cheese wheel" is just a big wheel of parmesan cheese where they will mix your pasta in. This is done at the front window and was a great marketing ploy to go viral. You get to choose the type of meat and toppings you want in your order. A bowl of pasta here is about $16. The portion is very filling and is a reasonable price for a takeout meal of this size. The food is not authentic and most of the ingredients have been prepackaged and frozen.

    Pasta in a cheese wheel? Yes, please! You start by getting in line, choosing your toppings and sauce for the pasta, and then the magic starts. They drop the hot pasta into a huge cheese wheel, swirling and smothering it until it's coated in creamy melted cheese. Everyone was in awe watching the process. The pasta itself was tender, rich, and creamy. I could've easily gone for a second round. If you're a fan of pasta and cheese, this is definitely worth trying. The spot does have seating, but it's a small space. You can also expect to wait a bit since its popular.

    This place is known for one thing so it was a little comical when the person (mom) who recommended this place asks "that's all they have?" when we get there. There were three of us, getting the different toppings and the arancini and all left happy with our orders. The outdoor patio was also really nice until the sky opened up. We'll come back for a fix.

    Arrabbiata sauce with Parmesan

    Came here on a weekday day with a friend after seeing the many viral videos on social media. Thankfully there was only a short line and it moved pretty quickly. Loved that all of the fresh pastas noodles get tossed in the cheese wheel and you're able to pick additional sauce and toppings. I ordered the pasta with arrabbiata sauce and Parmesan. It came quickly and had olives as well. Pasta was cooked perfectly and fresh. Sauce didn't have a ton of spice for an arrabbiata, but was still tasty. The restaurant feels like a hole in the wall but had a decent amount of seating. There's also an outdoor seating space on the back. Overall decent pasta and a good casual eat. I'd come back!

    2nd time having this. Simple menu and quick wait, unless ordering the arancini....food is fresh, tasty. Ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with garlic shrimp and pesto. Took it to go and when we got home, it did have additional Parmesan on it, which was not ordered. It made the meal more salty than I would have preferred. It was tasty, line is always there. Still a good, filling meal for a decent price.

    I saw this place on IG and got so excited because I had went to a similar place when I was in Venice. I had such high hopes in coming here. The noodles were cooked al dente but I was a little disappointed. Even though the noodles were in the cheese wheel, they were not that cheesy and was honestly lacking in flavor. We opted for the bolognese and that didn't really help either It was missing some salt and the creaminess factor. How it works is that the noodles are cooked in a big batch, then put into the cheese wheel and spin around in it. After, the noodles are all taken out and put in separate bowls. Then, toppings are added as per order and they will call out your name Idk if I will be coming back here again

    Chicken Alfredo
    Jessica L.

    Came here around opening and there was no line. I had high hopes for this place! Reasonable price point for homemade pasta. The Staff was nice and took my order quickly. I got a chicken fettuccine alfredo. The wait was around 10-15 min as the store was empty. I'm glad there was seating inside for me to wait. As for the pasta, the noodles were soft and pleasant. Nothing life changing. Sadly both the chicken and sauce fell short. The chicken was quite dry and I don't think it's worth an extra $4. The sauce had NO seasoning whatsoever. There was pretty much no salt or pepper / any kind of seasoning I could taste. It just tasted like cream mixed with noodles. It's difficult for me to eat a bunch of bland noodles in one sitting so I split it into two. It felt very heavy and monotonous. I had a disappointing experience but I hope the other menu items are better.

    Food: 4/5 | Service: 4/5 | Experience: 3.5/5 This hole in the wall does not have much seating. It's meant to be more of a takeout. It was a bit odd to have the pasta being cooked in front of the line behind the register, but it was interesting to have that look. I got the fettucine alfredo (base for every pasta) and added the bolognese on top. I also got the arancini. Food is very fresh, and the portion size for the pasta is generous. I really liked the arancini too as it was fresh, hot, and cheesy. For what I paid, I felt it was well worth. I'd come again perhaps when the line is not too long outside.

    Fettuccine Alfredo Bolognese
    Amy W.

    Came a couple months ago with friends after hearing about it on social media. We waited in line for about half an hour before we were able to place our order. The food was decent especially for the price. I'm not sure I would wait in line for it again but definitely a good takeout consideration. We ordered the Alfredo with Bolognese and Arrabiata. Keep in mind that there is limited seating inside with lots of people in line or waiting for food.

    Wife found this place on Tik Tok and with free Saturdays now, we decided to try something new. The only somewhat semi negative thing of the place is that there is barely a place to sit at but it's a testament of how good the food is with so many people getting a bite. Wife had the chicken fettuccine with Alfredo sauce and Parmesan which she said was very good but chicken needed a little more seasoning. I had the shrimp fettuccine with red sauce and it was soooo tasty - left me wanting more. When you first get the food it looks small but it's deceiving - weighted a lot and the portions they give you felt like they poured the food in. We even tried the Aritini balls and I really enjoyed those. Nice place for a bite before a date. Good food. Great busy atmosphere. Fresh hot food. And parking in the area was not as bad.

    The pasta itself has no flavor. It is very bland and for it to be cooked a little on the parm wheel you would expect it to be very flavorful and cheesy, but it was not and I was disappointed. The place itself is small but has good Italian music playing. The staff is also very friendly, that's why it is a 6/10. I feel that even if I added chicken, the chicken would be the star. It needed way more parm for it be amazing but that's not how pasta should be.

    Prices aren't crazy and quality matches what you'd expect from a fast-casual restaurant, but the food was tasty! We ordered the fettuccine alfredo and added parmesan cheese on top for an extra $2 (it's the powdered kind). Tasted very yummy actually, but it was only luke warm. We asked and the pesto contains peanuts - we specifically clarified if they meant pine nuts and they asked the chef. It's peanuts.

When we entered the restaurant and took the elevator up to the restaurant, we were delighted to find free wine provided for us to pour in the elevator. Admittedly, it was red wine, so not my favorite, and it did taste cheap, but still appreciated. To start off, we ordered the onion torta, focaccia, and smashed potatoes. The onion torta was surprisingly good and tasted like a form of french onion soup. As a focaccia enthusiast, the focaccia was fluffy and delicious. We also got the charred beans, carrots, ravioli, tagliatelle, ravioli, and trout to share. The charred beans were surprisingly the long beans and not the smaller ones we expected. However, they were very juicy and better than we thought they would be. The rigatoni resembled cacio e pepe with its pepperiness, the tagliatelle tasted like standard red sauce, but i did enjoy the ravioli and the ricotta inside. For dessert, we had the basque cheesecake which was alright, but I'm not the biggest fan of cheesecake. Overall, we had a great time at Ci Siamo and I would definitely recommend ordering the focaccia and onion torta and we could have skipped the carrots, beans, trout, and tagliatelle.

I acknowledged that the server doesn't write the menu, but absolutely zero customer service skills. The service overall was lacking. Aside from taking our order, no one checked on us or came back to see if we needed anything. Our server was just hanging out chatting up the hostess. We had to request the bill from the manager & paid at the hostess stand. Before paying, I spoke with the manager and explained what had occured. He was more professional than the server, but he was still dismissive of my concerns and of the service we received. Management seemed happy enough to promote the "option". The food was okay, definitely not enough to make up for the poor service and handling of a serious dietary issue. Needless to say I will not be returning.
